New pics

You know, Scott is the child that goes to the ER every 6 months... now me and Zach within weeks. He broke his wrist skateboarding, and just got it in a cast yesterday. Finally new material to scrap.. LOL. Just kidding... kinda... ;D

Meet The Fish

Zachary won 3 fish at Lacey Day yesterday... I named them this morning. :)

ScrapFaith & Saturday Night Challenge Layouts

For this week's SNC - to make a layout about what you like about fall. I finally found a use for all of those random fall pics spanning 3 years! I dyed the crochet heart with glimmer mist - it came out great didn't it?!
And ScrapFaith's challenge was to scrap an unanswered prayer. I took my spin on it and documented how my prayer almost went unanswered. I wrote about how it took 4 months, but it was forever in my mind; I prayed every court date to be sent back home and so many times they said no... and how they even took away my furlough one week because of a trivial and STUPID reason. Finally after 4 months the judge said I could go back home, but that experience taught me a lot however much I felt and still do feel that time was hell.

Mini Album using SR Grafton Leftovers

Not fabulous, but pretty good after I got past the first couple pages. Used all leftovers from my CKC classes. TFL! :D

a completely non-scrapping related rant

The moral of these following incidents:

IF IT AIN'T BROKE DON'T FIX IT!!!

1. The lights in the kitchen. When 3 out of 5 work and the entire counter is in good light, leave it be. Don't replace it with 3 small ones centered at the end out the counter so nobody can see anything on the stove. (Also do not buy another microwave that we DON'T NEED that is too big for the cabinets creating an even bigger shadow on the stove). On top of that all 3 of them die after 2 months
leaving NO LIGHT on the counter, and forcing me to cut my finger with a knife. Yeah cooking dinner for you people tonight because I'm tired of pizza will be a joy!

2. When I ask you to buy 2 lemons, but 2 LEMONS. Do not come back with lemon juice, do not come back with 6 miniature lemons, BUY 2 LEMONS.

Now back to your regularly scheduled programing. I need to find a band aid for my profusely bleeding finger. I feel like Red from that 70's show - DUMBASSES!!!

ETA: This is what I made....
I wasn't completely fond of it, but everyone else loved it! I thought it tasted too much like chicken. LOL! Tomorrow night is Chicken Parm. :)
