Sissy's Scrap Challenges Lo #1 (My Fav Friend)

Today was the kick off to my friend Sara's new challenge site Sissy's Scrap Challenges :) This is the LO she created for the first challenge. Pretty nifty huh?

To be honest I have had pictures stored in my memory card FOREVER it seems that I have yet to get printed so that I can scrap them. I guess I got lazy when it came to my scrapbook. The last page I actually scrapped was Easter 2 years ago *lol* EESH! (thats kinda scary huh?)

This new challenge blog is absolutely inspiring me to scrap those pics finally! I love using these neat layouts as well. It gives me a challenge but also helps me figure out HOW to create my page. I always had trouble figuring that out.

Tonight I decided I wanted to use a pic of my best friend Ginger for my page. She has helped me get through so much and has ALWAYS been there for me. Even with her living in Mississippi she is always there without fail. She's the true definition of friend.

okay enough with the mushy stuff .lol. dont wanna give her a big head or anything hahaha j/k!

Here is my page:

I used: patterned scrap paper/alpha stickers/word stickers/& cutouts by
Colorbok, chipboard cutout by me & my big ideas, ribbon by perfectly posh,
trini bright flowers by prima, & self stick gems by Darico

Make sure to check out Sissy's Scrap Challenge! Totally fun stuff!

Chuckles Wednesday

I love a good joke and every now and then I love to share the jokes that I receive through email or that I hear around, just to give someone else a smile and maybe lighten their day a bit. So I thought each Wednesday I would post a joke here and call it Chuckle's Wednesday. ;) I hope you get a laugh out of these jokes :)

THE TINY CABIN

A social worker from a big City in Massachusetts recently transferred to the Mountains of West Virginia and was on the first tour of her new territory when she came upon the tiniest cabin she had ever seen in her life.

Intrigued, she went up and knocked on the door.

'Anybody home?' she asked.
'Yep,' came a kid's voice through the door.
'Is your father there?' asked the social worker.
'Pa? Nope, he left afore Ma came in,' said the kid.
'Well, is your mother there?' persisted the social worker.
'Ma? Nope, she left just before I got here,' said the kid.
'But,' protested the social worker, 'are you never together as a family?'
'Sure, but not here,' said the kid through the door.
'This is the Outhouse!' (Government workers are so smart)

T-G-I-F ~vs~ S-H-I-T

A business man got on an elevator. When he entered, there wasa blonde already inside who greeted him with a bright,'T-G-I-F.'He smiled at her and replied, 'S-H-I-T.'
She looked puzzled and repeated, 'T-G-I-F,' more slowly.He again answered, 'S-H-I-T.'
The blonde was trying to keep it friendly, so she smiled her biggest smile and said as sweetly as possible, 'T-G-I-F.'
The man smiled back to her and once again, 'S-H-I-T.'
The exasperated blonde finally decided to explain....'T-G-I-F' means 'Thank Goodness It'sFriday.' Get it, Duuhhh?'
The man answered, ''S-H-I-T' means 'Sorry, Honey, It's Thursday -- Duuhhh!'

And finally the Funny Pic of the day.....

"I'm NOT smelling THOSE!"

Humor Du Jour

Subject: Humor Du Jour

An Obituary printed in the London Times........ Interesting and sadly rather true.

'Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense, who has been with us for many years. No one knows for sure how old he was, since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape.He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as:Knowing when to come in out of the rain; why the early bird gets the worm; Life isn't always fair; and maybe it was my fault.Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies (don't spend more than you can earn) and reliable strategies (adults, not children,are in charge).His health began to deteriorate rapidly when well-intentioned but overbearing regulations were set in place. Reports of a 6-year-old boy charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate; teens suspended from school for using mouth wash after lunch; and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student, only worsened his condition.Common Sense lost ground when parents attacked teachers for doing the job that they themselves had failed to do in disciplining their unruly children.It declined even further when schools were required to get parental consent to administer sun lotion or an Aspirin to a student; but could not inform parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion. Common Sense lost the will to live as the churches became businesses;and criminals received better treatment than their victims. Common Sense took a beating when you couldn't defend yourself from a burglar in your own home and the burglar could sue you for assault.Common Sense finally gave up the will to live, after a woman failed to realize that a steaming cup of coffee was hot. She spilled a little in her lap, and was promptly awarded a huge settlement .

Common Sense was preceded in death, by his parents, Truth and Trust
His wife, Discretion, his daughter, Responsibility, his son, Reason

He is survived by his 4 stepbrothers; I Know My RightsI Want It Now;Someone Else Is To Blame;I'm A Victim

Not many attended his funeral because so few realized he was gone.'

'Bling' ATC's for PAMC

I created these ATC's for this week's Bling Challenge over at PAMC. Toni was the host this week. Every one did great work! I loved the challenge. The Treasure The Moment ATC is my favorite :) I actually made the backgrounds for these ATC's for my tutorial on PAMC for the Bandana Technique :) If you get the chance check out the challenge at the blog HERE or you can visit the group HERE. Participate if you get the chance, the winner of the weekly challenge is featured on both sites & gets entered into a monthly drawing for a Grand Prize :)

HAPPY APRIL FOOLS DAY!
