Now for the winner of the RAK. I know it has been a long time since I posted the thread so how about I send out 2!
Here is the first lucky recipient of a set of stamps...
And #2...
love the cards! i have been trying to get out of a creative slump, so I guess you can say i've been blog stalking :) yours is always inspirational!
I'm a winner!!!!!!! I'm not quite sure what I've won yet, but it's something. And like I tell my boys,
SOMETHING IS DEFINITELY BETTER THAN NOTHING!!!!
I've already sent her my address, so when my little "something" arrives, I'll let you all know!
Okay.
I have a complaint....or maybe it's more like a question.
How in the world do you all have time to blog and scrap? Because my house looks like this....
and I warn you, this picture is pretty scary...
and I'm almost too embarrassed to post it, but here goes...
This is my "pile of things to do"
You know how people have lists?
Lists don't work for me.
I lose my list.
sometimes even intentionally.
I'm more of a "visual" kind of gal.
so I have a pile.
Anything that I need to do, I physically place in a corner of my bedroom. This way, I have a true idea of all the things that
I am neglecting!...and if I forget,
I trip on it!
But sadly, my "list" has totally gotten out of control, and it's trying to migrate to other areas of my house :(
That's why I'm not blogging
OR SCRAPPING!
*sigh*
My question to all of you is...
How in the world do you do it?
How do you blog, scrap, raise your children,
hold a second job...
and keep a clean house?
I have not blogged in FOREVER, so today I have refused to go back into my bedroom
because my VISUAL TO-DO LIST
is driving me INSANE!
Do you all have Rosie,
the maid from the Jetons?
Is that your secret?
because I have HER:
Scary, WORN-OUT WOMAN!...and she sucks!
Frightening, right?
Can you believe that my husband took this picture of me yesterday on my son's birthday?
I told him I wanted more pictures of me so the boys, as adults, could look back at our family album and remember me...
For real? This is how I want to be remembered?
This is seriously the best he could do?
This picture of me is horribly HIDEOUS!
*sigh*
I guess this is how you look when you don't have a maid and do waaaay too much housework.
I know this post is long. So if you're tired, just look at the pictures
because
I want to show you this:
followed a trail of confetti from his bedroom to this
Our family tradition of celebrating our birthdays as soon as you roll out of bed.
He loves Star Wars and racecars, so all of the decorations are Star Wars in 3-D!
Yes, they are wearing 3-D glasses. The birthday banner, tablecloth, plates, and everything Star Wars is 3-D.
They wore Darth Vader masks (which were a nightmare to put together...grr),
ate racecar cake,
and tried to make me LOSE MY MIND by taking them here:
CHUCK E CHEESE hell.
But I survived.
And in the end, it was all worth it....
to put a smile on his face like this
...priceless.
I hope you have a fantastic weekend.
I.
MUST.
BE.
CREATIVE.
AND.
SCRAPBOOK.
wish me luck.

First, love the cards, the bright posies on the crafts is fantastic! What have I been up to...well I've started working full time outside the home after being a SAHM for 4yrs. It's busy, tiring, but we're all adjusting well!
