Say it Like it is....

This is Annette and I Saturday at a class we took at The Crafty Scrapper in Waxahachie. The class taught by Caroline one of the owners of Maya Road. What a great time we all had.....after i finish my house i will have to post it.

Anywhoo the real reason i posted this picture is to explain "Say it like it is"

I never realized until i meet Annette just how bold of a person I am......that is how i got the name for my blog. I received a b-day card from Annette and in it she mention i was a "say it like it is gal" I never looked at myself like that until Annette. Thanks Annette

BFF

One of my newest projects......I used a few new tecniques and i loved the way it turned out.

Nothing exciting....

The past few days it has been rainy and yucky. Despite all that i did find time to make this card. I was inspired by a pic i found and combined it with a class i took last year and this is what i have.

I am getting so excited i am going to be taking a fabulous class next week at the scrap book store i can't wait.

Blog Challenge from 2/28/08.....The Crafty Scrapper.

I remembered that Brook had posted this challenge last month and since i now have a blog....and Carolyn does not think i like her i thought i would blog about The Crafty Scrapper.

My mother always tells me things happen for a reason, and after i starting thinking about how and why i found The Crafty Scrapper almost two years ago I think she is right. Well of course she is right she is my mother.

I decided one day to make a baby book for ome of my BFF'S from Cali. (BFF= best friends forever, i know sooooo jr. high but that is how long we have been friends) I had been browsing a magazine and found the perfect paper to use on my BFF'S book. The problem was i had only done one small project before and I had only been in TX a few months so i had NO clue where to shop, i had to get on the internet look up the paper company, find a list of store that carrie their product.........finally after a few calls I got lucky The Crafty Scrapper had the paper i wanted and I got Carolyn on the other end of the phone. That night after work i drove to Waxahachie and I met Carolyn for the first time.

What i find so ironic about this story is........it was one of my BFF from Cali who led me to meet such a wonderful group of ladies,with whom i am now friends. The Crafty Scrapper has become my second home and my new family.

So Carolyn if you read this i do not like you......I LOVE YOU....along with everyone else on the Crafty Crew, and the lounge ladies of The Crafty Scrapper. I just give you a hard time about ths scissors cause it make me laught that you will use a perfect pair of scisorrs to cut a rock if that is what you need for a layout.

I love Spring time in TX

I noticed a few days ago on my drive home from Waxahachie that spring is starting to peak up. The brown dead foliage is starting to show life, before we know every blade of brown grass will be replaced by the new lush green grass and wildflowers of Spring.

This will be my third Spring in Texas and i am sure i will be in awww as i have been the past 2 years. I am usually overwhelmed at some point during spring by the pure beauty of a Texas Spring day. The rich green grass, and the contrasting colors of the Bluebonnets and other wild flower, is breathtaking.
I took this picture of the Bluebonnets last year. I usually take a nice warm day and drive around taking pictures. Last year i took pictures only around Ennis, only where my little Honda Scooter would take me. The warm air on my skin and the fresh scent of spring made for a perfect day.
I wanted to included this picture i took when i was in California last year. This is just on the edge of the town where i grew up. Yes i know where are the palm trees and beach....well i lived in the desert of Cali. Now i am sure you will all understand why I love the Spring in Texas.
The two pictures were taken within about 10 days of each other.

VEGAS......Feb 6-10 2008

Well i went to vegas well over a month ago but i thought why not blog about the trip anyway. It was four nights and five fabulous days. I flew out on Wed Feb 6th and met one friend for the first two days then everyone else arrived on Friday.

The first two days we ate and i drank a few more adult beverages than i should have. We stayed at THEhotel at Mandalay Bay, it was

beautiful. Every meal we at was fabulous, and we even went to see The Blue Man Group. The memories of those 2 days will forever and always be with me.

The last two days. We had just as much fun. We had so much fun we are going to do an annual trip....but i said it once and i will say it again, next year i am going to sleep less, and drink and eat more.

I am really not a blogger

The only reason i got this blog.....is well i want to be just like everyone else. So as of right now i am making a commitment that i will blog every other day for the next month. Even if it is about NOTHING. Although no one reads this so i am not sure who will hold me accountable.

I did it!!!!!

Well i have been grouching for weeks that i do not have a BLOG well now i do and here is my first entry.
