I would love to hear your title ideas - so leave me a comment in the comment section - or shoot me an email!

Additionally, I wanted to let you know that I plan to bring back FREEBIE FRIDAYS!!! Whooo Hoooo!!! Yep that's right starting this coming week make sure you visit my blog on Friday for FREEBIE FRIDAY! And due to the positive feed back I will be offering all my FREEBIES in the SVG format for all you Cricut and SCAL users!

Latest Project...

So yesterday I promised I would post photos of Hubby's birthday presents! First I thought I would show you a photo of my scrapping room. I am not sure if it was because I was not feeling well or if I have just become a messy scrapper - but I was shock when I walked out of my scrapping room, and then walked back in and saw the mess! (No wonder the cop was wondering if someone had broken into my house the night the security alarm went off!) LOL Normally I am so annal and neat when I work but not this day!!! (Remember you can click on the photos to get a larger image.)

So for Hubby's present this year, I decided to make a word book that spells "home". I mean what are you suppose to send someone overseas? He doesn't need anything, and when asked what he wants he replied nothing. So?!?! What's a girl to do?

Thus here is photo of the front of the completed book.

This is a photo of the inside - the backside of the "h" and the front side if the "O". I wouldn't really call this a "scrapbook" more of an altered book. For example - I put the saying "There is no place like home" and then I put a metal key. Then on the "O" I put a photo of our house and then I placed a picket fence that I painted white and attached a "service flag" embellishment to it.

Here is the backside of the "O" and the front of the "M" - these pages were dedicated to the pups! The "M" has three dimensional puppy paws walking across it - and then I also used Glimmer Mist" to give the "M" texture and shimmer.

Here is the backside of the "M" and the front of the "E". The "M" side was dedicated to places here in GA that we have been. The "E" was all about my hubby's favorite pass time - hunting!

This is the backside of the "E" and the back page of the book. The "E" side was dedicated to homecomings. Photos from the last three deployments when hubby has come home from overseas. And then the back page is all about "Love".

The paper I used for my back page was "two sided" so it is actually showing though the acrylic back - to make the back cover. (Oh I guess I should say that the actual letters of the book are made from acrylic. I figured that it would hold up better than chipboard would stuffed down in the bottom of a duffel bag!)

Here is a close up of my stick people! I think that they turned out soooo cute!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE them!!!

And this is just another view of the book so you can kind of get the just of the dimensional effects of the book!

All in all I think it turned out well and I hope Hubby likes it! Thanks for looking - would love to hear your comments!

Until Next Time!

Tired, tired, tired!

Well I am back home after what seems to be my daily visit to the hospital! Sheesh!!! And I have to tell you I am some kind of tired! Last night, well technically this morning at about 3 AM my alarm on my house went off!!! I have to say in the almost five years we have owned this home my alarm as never gone off unless of course it was something stupid on my behalf (or my hubby's!! LOL).

I have to give huge KUDOS's to my alarm company though - they called me right away, they called the police right away and even bigger KUDOS's to the local police department who showed up in no time flat!!!

They didn't see or find anything overly suspicious - but man want to talk about a heart racing event?!?!?!? And you can forget about trying to go back to sleep after that!

So I think I am heading off to take a nap! Too much excitement and not enough sleep for me it seems!

Before I go - when I got home from the hospital yesterday there was a ton of emails from my hubby and low and behold - he sent PHOTOS!!!! Whooo Hoooo!!! (Hmmmm, if I knew all I had to do was to get sick in order for him to send me photos...... bahahaha!!! JUST JOKING!!!)

Here is couple of my favorites -

Oh how I sooo sooo sooo love this man!!! You got to admit he is looking pretty studly! And hey when he is home there is NO doubt that I sleep safe at night! (I mean hey - did you see those GUNS! Bahahaha!)

Until Next Time!

Wow - I can't believe it has been almost a week since I have blogged!!! I do apologize greatly for that but a lot of things have happened....

I haven't been feel quite myself for the past few weeks and then on "Spa Day" I ended up in the ER for about 7 hours! Thank goodness for my BFF Tracy who took me to the ER and stayed with me the whole time!

Friday I spend most of the day at the hospital again.... and I was there again today....

There are several issues going on and I might be hit and miss for the next few days - but I wanted to let you know I am still alive, Andrew is ok - and I hope to be back to my daily blogging self soon!

Until Next Time!
