Play a little every day! (small rant too)

 I've been thinking.....You know I don't regret much in my life, up until six moths ago I wouldn't have wanted to change anything. the life I have lived wasn't always the easiest but I learn form my mistakes and move on (some people never learn)... I made a good life for us and was finally able to sit back and enjoy my children even if it took me a little longer then I had planned,I was finally able be be a SAHM and go to all the school play,concerts,functions,softball games....you name it and I was there with bells on...see most people would regret not being able to stay home sooner,but that's not what I regret.....I regret not capturing all the little moment....yes I have birthdays and holidays....but not so much the everyday moments,you know the ones that mean the most....I always thought we had all the time in the world....that's exactly what I was thinking last summer... my fiance and I with my youngest were on a  road trip and I forgot my camera....but figured my youngest was only thirteen,I still had at least 5 years of road trips ahead of me before she left and said she was too old for stuff like that! who would of thought a month after that trip everything would change.... I truly regret not taking my camera....for not spending more time....this page is about one of those simple moments....the ones you think back and smile...sometimes ever laugh!

 I kept this page really really simple.....but sometimes simple is just the way to go.

 this is my youngest Stephanie,she was almost two year old at the time,she was playing dress up with her sister Samantha and Samantha's best friend Grace....I remember this day like it was yesterday ...all three of them parading around the house is Sam's old dance costumes.....

I used the sketch from Challenge me Happy

I know I kind of went off on a rant...I guess today is a bad day..... Anyway thank you for coming and looking at my page!

Love and Hope

Somebody I used to know...

I love this page....I think its because it made me think about things from when I was young and really stupid LOL so at Challenge me happy  Challenge # 38 is up...

This fortnight we are challenging you with a SONG CHALLENGE. We give you a song – you create with whatever comes to mind for you. You might be inspired by the title, or the lyrics. You might be inspired by the song’s music video, the artist or the cover for the CD. There might be a memory you have, connected to the song, that you’d like to scrap about. The possibilities are endless, and that’s what’s so exciting with this challenge.
The song we have chosen for you this fortnight, happens to be the ringtone for Annelie, our blog owner and DT leader. A very popular song in 2012 by Gotye & Kimbra: SOMEBODY THAT I USED TO KNOW.

so I went on youtube and watched the video: watch the video here and I took inspiration from the video,I loved the colorful background it reminded me of the doodling I used to do in school....so that's what I did this afternoon I just made a bunch of lines and colored them in using markers and stamping ink...hehe its really really bright! But I think that's what I love about it! I chose a picture from my Jr high year book yes that long ago when I thought I knew everything!

 haha told you it was bright! I spent way to much time coloring the background but it kept me distracted so its all good and it brought back some really funny memories!

thanks for taking a peek..... :o)

Inspire me

Hi there......So Challenge me happy has their first Challenge of the new year up or the last of last years lol.
its a RECIPE challenge.
These are the ingredients we want you to use on your project:
* a quote
*stamping
* bird/s
*arrows
* brads
so I went on a hunt to find a picture to help inspire a page/lo.....Of course I always end up at Ginny's(my best friend) flowers ...they are just so gorgeous and since we have so much snow I wanted something that reminded me of spring/summer. I found her roses....love these....she got them as a birthday gift last year and this is the first time they bloomed! So I made her a page to go in her album.

 I have to apologies my cameras batteries are low so my pictures kind of suck. I have all the elements....the quote " the friend is the person who knows all about you, and still likes you" Elbert Hubbard,Stamping I used a cute little stamp that says Delight in little things, Bird ...those are kind of obvious

Arrows...I stamped those too...and Brads I used two for the inspire title and then I used a best friends brad. I really need to learn how to cut out a circle they never come out right LOL
