Too Tired Tuesday

July 15, 2008 | By Heidi | Filed Under: scrappy | Leave a Comment

I am exhausted. Who knows why, I could go to sleep right now and sleep till tomorrow.

We found out about our stimulus check. We’re basically not getting it…which is fine because it’s paying off an old debt and that’s better than money that we didn’t have but got for free. The husband is not happy, but I’m ok with it. We would have just spent it on stuff we don’t need anyways.

Still on the money subject…my husband was granted disability in April and as of last week, we still hadn’t heard anything about it. Well, after a few phone calls to our state reps, we finally got his letter of determination. We really need this to start soon before we get too far behind. Hopefully the fire we lit will get the ball rolling a little bit quicker.

I started making a scrappy page using a picture of Topaz and Photoshop crashed!! I’m not in the habit of saving as I go…I NEED to get into this…so I lost it. I liked how it was coming, so I’ll probably redo it tomorrow night.

Today's Scrappy Page

July 14, 2008 | By Heidi | Filed Under: scrappy | Leave a Comment

Here’s the page I just finished.

Credits:
All papers and elements (except pear) from a freebie Kit – “About a Boy” by Vicki
Word Art by Bethany
Template by Droopette

Aren’t you proud of me? I knew where everything came from! lol

I should explain who these 2 handsome young men are in this page. These are our nephews, Elijah and Andrew. Elijah is my sister’s son and Andrew is my husband’s sister and her husband’s son. That picture was taken at my inlaws’ lake home. We take Elijah there with us for the weekend at least once a year. He and Andrew get along so well together even though there’s a 5 year age difference between them.

Ugh, I just noticed the journaling has typos in it…I think i saved this as a pds before i made it into a jpg, I’ll have to check. *Note to self: Double check journaling prior to saving as a jpg!*

New Blog Look!

July 14, 2008 | By Heidi | Filed Under: scrappy, zoo | Leave a Comment

Well, in my endless search for free scrappy things online, I ran across Sweet Scraps. Christie is the blog owner and she has the sweetest kit available for free! It’s called “Simply Adorable” and it really is just that!


The theme of her blog was made by Allie with one of her kits. It’s too cute, so I went and checked out Allie’s blog and she has other themes available and also directions on how to use them. I tried to use the kitty one but the background was a little dark for me, so I decided to make my own!

Why pears? Well, it’s a long running joke from when I worked in the grocery store. I’d smell the pear wrappers…they really smell like pears!! And it just escalated from there!

So now I collect pears. My kitchen and dining room “theme” is pears and I have pears everywhere in my house. Here are a couple photos of the kitchen and dining room.

Razzle…aka Yidda in the dining room window

Our baker’s rack and my pears!

The kitty is Razzle, he’s a manx and the only cat we didn’t adopt from the animal shelter. We got him from a rescue. We adopted him after we lost Zagnut, our first kitty in 2006 to the Diamond food recall. We lost two cats due to that recall, it was really tough to go through. That’s one reason why I’m so anal I guess you could say about our pet’s food. I don’t want to go through another devestating loss again.

On a different note…I’m going to try to display one of my completed pages each day I blog and I’m going to try to blog everyday. I may not have a lot to say and who knows who’s reading, but isn’t that how it all starts? Someone reads one blog, something catches their eye and then they come back. That’s how I’ve found most of the blogs I read on a regular basis.

I’ll post the page a bit later, I need to make one today 🙂
