Randomness

So here's the pic I got from Antiquites. Not the best, but not the worst either. At least I didn't have to fight off the salesman like Wendy did :)



And THIS came in the mail from my friend Sylvia with some super great felt for my felite pouches :) I thought it was HILARIOUS and it made me think of Latisha hehe

Art Day Friday!

Not much is going on in the Kaiser household, so I figured I'd share some stuff that Lily and I have been working on :)

First: Lily and Vegetables. I'm not sure what her thing is with them but the other day she told me that she draws people and vegetables. These happen to all be characters from veggietales.



Second: Lily and the computer. This was her first attempt at coloring using the mouse. I thought it was so cute, it's been on my refrigerator ever since.



Third: Lily and paints. I had to buy Lily a 2nd set of watercolors when we went school shopping so she could use them at home. She just loves them so much! Unfortunately, while painting the last inch of her page she tipped over her water cup and drowned the top left corner of her page. Its still really really pretty though!



And now for me :)
These are just some layouts I've done in the past couple of days. I'm going to enter the make a wish layout in the Simple Scrapbooks contest at CKC. And for those of you who asked, I did draw the dandelion. But I had Latisha coaching me over the phone and I did it twice before I tried it on the layout. haha

Something to take your mind off the heat

Although my favorite version will always be Bing & Doris, I thought this was just so dang cute! Enjoy :)

Merry Christmas In July!!!

QVC kicked off their Christmas in July tonight. I love it. Every year I start my Christmas shopping when they do this. Well, not actual shopping, but making my list of what I want to buy people. Let me tell you, this year is going to be the BEST one yet. I actually know what I'm going to get my MIL and my FIL, which are usually so stinking hard to buy for! Not only do I know, but they're really cool gifts!! I can't tell you what they are though b/c my MIL frequents. I'm excited about it though.

Yesterday we went to the Drum Corps International Competition. HOLY COW!!
I LOVE MARCHING BANDS!! This is probably something you did not know about me. I'm talking blinking back tears at the good parts LOVE. Yes, I know I'm a total geek. Lily went with me, as tradition and for the first time she didn't plug her ears b/c of the loud noise. She just sat there and smiled so freaking big and kept hugging me. She even clapped and cheered! I'm telling you, if she ever joins the marching band I'm going to be one wet dog on her first night from all the tears. ESPECIALLY because, get this, her favorite instrument is a SAXAPHONE!!!!!!!! Oh my lord, oh my lord. Could she BE a better child? hahah j/k but for those of you that don't know I played the saxaphone for 9 years and I loved it so stinking much. I just don't know what I'm going to do with myself if I ever get to go saxaphone shopping with Lily. I think I just might die.

I also need to say something about the next food network star. You probably don't know this, but the girl I didn't like won. Notice I say didn't like. By the end of the finale I realized I actually liked her better and I suddenly felt bad for the other girl!! They like, dove deep down into their lives and she was so much more appealing! She's a single mom just trying to better her kids lives. How cool is that. The other girl is a spoiled brat, who just opened her new restaurant. Who needs a dang show when you have a restaurant. She didn't even congratulate her when she won!! She just like started crying and pouting. Oh well, I'm sure she was sad. Anywho, despite my efforts I'm glad the right girl won.

OH yeah, and I lowered my prices at Etsy. I just had way too many views and no bites!

Scrappy Weekend

I got a few more pages done. Finished Thanksgiving and a page away from CHRISTMAS!!!!!! Every year I'm so excited to do christmas and by the time I'm done I'm so ready to be done with it! haha
Lily won a challenge on 2ps and is so excited to get her scrappy package in the mail! How fun is that?! Here are a couple of the pages I got done...

Scraptastic

Here's a layout I finished last night and a close up of the pic so you can see Lily's drawing. Don't you just love all the fingers?!

Chloe has officially lost her mind

As we're going through clothes this morning to see what fits and what doesn't Chloe decides she's going to try stuff on by herself. This is a swimming suit. And yes her face is poking out the LEG hole.

CHECK IT OUT!!!

My Etsy is up and running!!
Look to the right for the link :)

The Simpsons

Everyone needs to head over to the simpsons movie site and make yourself a character.
Check out mine!! hahahah

Yumm

I thought I needed to dedicate one more day to this amazingly yummy snowcone :)
I had another one before work today.
They're just so dang tasty!

GAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

Amy got kicked off...HURRAY!!!
BUT they found out that Jag lied and he had to resign. WHY JAG WHY?!
SOOOOOO the final two are amy and rory.
Please do me a favor and to go www.foodnetwork.com and vote for RORY.
I swear if Amy wins I'm never watching the food network again.
Okay, that's never going to happen, but I'm going to be really mad...

On another note.
We went for snow cones this evening at my FAVORITE snow cone joint.
These people really know what they're doing!
And now, I am almost ready to get started on my cards for the card swap.
I just need to buy a deck of cards...

I have once again

failed to make a DT.
This is why I quit submitting for so long.
I think I'll take another break.
I can only take so many rejections until I start to think I'm not any good at scrapping.

I completely re-did the layout

This one is much better. The other was just to bright & happy. I wanted it to look a bit more distressed. I'm still not 100% about the different font in the middle of the title, but I'll let it sit for a couple of weeks and see what I think. I would have done it all the same but I didn't have enough letters of anything! sheesh. Anywho, am I getting closer to contest material?

Reveal Time!

Here she is! My little Chickadee :)
It isnt' quite healed so it's still a bit scabby...ew

WOW

Doesn't anyone watch food network?

Specifically the Next Food Network Star?!

Come on people, this is our future we're talking about! Next week will be the voting round!!!

WHAAAAAAAAAAT????

they cut paul.

they CUT paul.

THEY CUT PAUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PPPPPAAAAAUUUUUULLLLLL


I just don't know what else so say, other than

Rory.

She is going to win. The others do not stand a chance next to her as far as I'm concerned. I think when it comes down to voting. Granted I LOVE JAG, I just don't think he can beat Rory.

They better send amy home next week b/c she is about to poke someone's eye out with that snaggle tooth. Okay, that was mean, but she should have NEVER beat PAUL!!!!!

Sigh

I got a new tattoo today...

It has something to do with this



that's all I'm going to say for now ;)

Personal Time

I worked on my entry for CKC this evening. I've been puting it off, due to the nature. It was really hard to do. I'm not sure if I'm going to do anything else to it or not, I think it needs something. Here it is anyway.

Pics from Wednesday

If you only go to see one more movie for the rest of your life, see this one.

Seriously.
Fareeeeking amaaaaaaaaazing

One year ago

I found this picture from last fourth of july.



Then, this morning Papaw hands me this picture he took of Chloe yesterday.
Look at the difference! I just can't believe how much her hair has grown! She's like a different child!

This is why my grandmother is the best...

Just Because :)
