Birthday Girl ~ Stuck On U Sketches

Hi everyone!! Didn't get much scrapping done this weekend because I was babysitting the little grand babies.  A scraproom and an 18 month old just does not mix, if you know what I mean.  I did get the final touches on this layout late yesterday after everyone went home, but it was too late to upload it last night, so here it is.  I also designed this from the sketch over at Stuck On U Sketches .

This week's sketch was created by Stepahanie Vaughn at Scrap Sketch.  The photos I used are from Savannah's Birthday Party last summer..  If you can't tell (look at her beautiful hair), it was a pool party...  Her Uncle has this very large castle that you air up with a little generator and it has a couple of water slides attached to it..and well you can guess the rest!!!  The kids just loved it... You will see more layouts of this later on.  The theme for her Birthday was Tinker Bell..  Her cake has Tink on the top, I don't know if you can see that or not..  Her other grandmother made the cake and I think she did a beautiful job on it!! 

This layout will qualify for a few other challenges, which are:

Stuck On U Sketches ~ Sketch
C.R.A.F.T. ~ Birthday or Celebration

Creating Keepsakes Scrapbook Convention - San Marcos, TX - MY LOOT

OMGosh everyone. Yesterday I totally forgot that the Creating Keepsakes Scrapbook Convention was in San Marcos, Texas this weekend at the new Convention Center. Well, I guess you know where I've been all day... You guessed it!! And was I like a kid in a candy store.... They had some fabulous buys... I originally went to try to decide on some dp for my Christmas Cards and to get an idea on a card I need to get made for a swap that I signed up for next month... Well, that went right out the window as soon as I walked in and started up and down the Aisles.. OMWord... It was just too much... As you can see I got a good variety of things and I did find some paper for my card for the swap. Now I need to get it designed and then cut 40 more out... Anyway, I have a layout started and will try to upload in the morning, but for now I have to find a place to put all of these wonderful things...
Thanks so much for stopping by and please come back again...

Have a wonderful day!!

Hugs:o)

WOW First Place....Way to go Amanda!!!

Hello again,

This last Saturday, May, 16th,

Amanda competed in Houston, Texas, at the Fitness ~ Lone Star and won FIRST PLACE. OMGosh she was so excited and so happy, and I can't tell you how proud we were. She has worked so hard for this and to accomplish this goal in only three shows, well, that's just absolutely amazing..... WAY TO GO AMANDA...

The top picture is of the first, second and third place winners. Amanda is in the middle..

Thanks so much for stopping by,

Have a wonderful evening,

Proud Mother,

I never looked this good, even in my dreams......lol

Hi everyone,

I just have to brag a little. My dear sweet daughter is in body sculpturing and has gone to competition the last two weekends here in Texas. This one was in Austin, May, 9th. It was the INBF Southwestern Natural Championship and she won 3rd place. You know, last year she got a 3rd place, too. We were/are very proud of her, but she was a little disappointed in herself. These are the pictures that were taken. The first one is of her and her wonderful husband, Jason.

Thanks for stopping by.

Come back again,

Proud Mother,
