It's been THAT long?Okay! Total blogging loser here! Haven't blogged in MONTHS! Wow! But a very special person in my life told me I really should update this thing because some people do actually read it! I don't really have many scrap related photos to share since I've been slacking in that department over the past couple months. But do look for some new projects since I finally got photos printed from our Disney World trip in December. Also, I do believe I'll be completing a little project for a special birthday possibly!<br />So, here's to my renewed commitment to blog a little more than three or four times per year!!!! A few pictures from our Disney World trip:<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhO2Z7IkaYrnO-5AhLcvHV18qRPykecGBPxbIZ8u5EBkWTHbO5KqLqX-yvB1tKkJ6nEVtauJBUExoWIzEAgHHKGnpBHCHtv7G2Dp8zVnrCKwzgiZZWd3VDW6QCx4C1jxAJzxyJn/s1600-h/S7000945.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhO2Z7IkaYrnO-5AhLcvHV18qRPykecGBPxbIZ8u5EBkWTHbO5KqLqX-yvB1tKkJ6nEVtauJBUExoWIzEAgHHKGnpBHCHtv7G2Dp8zVnrCKwzgiZZWd3VDW6QCx4C1jxAJzxyJn/s200/S7000945.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5171505729701633362" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMlTHCxVKfG21wXTYBZDcLpHk4IUKRINOqmtoeDnt3UA_CLa50Qy6fLA0G5thP07nC18oGK54HqAn6Q8qI7PtobmWog6bYQ000nP-OgcVSIJE6MhKXVTCk1-fPMninXM28wDvQ/s1600-h/S7000922.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMlTHCxVKfG21wXTYBZDcLpHk4IUKRINOqmtoeDnt3UA_CLa50Qy6fLA0G5thP07nC18oGK54HqAn6Q8qI7PtobmWog6bYQ000nP-OgcVSIJE6MhKXVTCk1-fPMninXM28wDvQ/s200/S7000922.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5171505716816731458" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7jEtyzxr6K5TJ_ka20k1Y81wL1anoEnRSH-uvsbPwwyHsQbSJwxxdLPB-IhBziGz8PsGk2eSxYg0aiqx2Y-aPJV_LT62YQmL5smBJ4UfkSvARaMziT0lD_6cQQuTD8B0_ub4w/s1600-h/S7000958.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7jEtyzxr6K5TJ_ka20k1Y81wL1anoEnRSH-uvsbPwwyHsQbSJwxxdLPB-IhBziGz8PsGk2eSxYg0aiqx2Y-aPJV_LT62YQmL5smBJ4UfkSvARaMziT0lD_6cQQuTD8B0_ub4w/s200/S7000958.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5171505738291567970" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9Otlyulh2TUzMdDPRAkHuw1Pb3R1RyWxi_7mHPilKkr3fzHoyfTv_4dEx4rMbLTOJwgpVokSlFl-26-Q66XTsQe0QUW-fMEcavaYl4Dq58uvU59MOhYTvUMJS9s2GYjsy5yXd/s1600-h/S7000967.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9Otlyulh2TUzMdDPRAkHuw1Pb3R1RyWxi_7mHPilKkr3fzHoyfTv_4dEx4rMbLTOJwgpVokSlFl-26-Q66XTsQe0QUW-fMEcavaYl4Dq58uvU59MOhYTvUMJS9s2GYjsy5yXd/s200/S7000967.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5171505746881502578" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgozkhegZi8lK2QxPjnYYDetug7q1aFNv_LxnRtjHJF3kZJeqdQxR21eT-S8vnpYQ6bAmAK3DTUYgDibRr_9AOhGmAf2z5ah0Rp6Tr8Jaui54nShUaleM2oc7fKiotBLF2myn4y/s1600-h/S7000970.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgozkhegZi8lK2QxPjnYYDetug7q1aFNv_LxnRtjHJF3kZJeqdQxR21eT-S8vnpYQ6bAmAK3DTUYgDibRr_9AOhGmAf2z5ah0Rp6Tr8Jaui54nShUaleM2oc7fKiotBLF2myn4y/s200/S7000970.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5171505755471437186" border="0" /></a>Chelseahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15982880884212293720noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25668004.post-69397207601904304252007-08-15T09:41:00.000-06:002007-08-15T09:46:59.075-06:00Okay....Okay!!!!!!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5TM4pbcLBXU7_HxWs5sU8tOSBgMSblioYKDS6CU31kOSHP1QaUodH6ttZmRcSTJ8GXqZ0PCSOCSbjTHW37vB2rQdMniSvs70XmTmD1ZT8viTfb4LDV_3yEmWGHNai12mMxWoJ/s1600-h/cam+1.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5TM4pbcLBXU7_HxWs5sU8tOSBgMSblioYKDS6CU31kOSHP1QaUodH6ttZmRcSTJ8GXqZ0PCSOCSbjTHW37vB2rQdMniSvs70XmTmD1ZT8viTfb4LDV_3yEmWGHNai12mMxWoJ/s200/cam+1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5098954158574056386" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivXOCaIjo-JiFvtPLDZ2uVVT_PGrxMAE5o-m_f3hyx2AhkkUFc_LgULgutOc1df7LOV5Hxt-EdYlsFQQvx1kSR0BUl0gnk8moLjCYZ5XHDkzKLSwpxOeH_5mJsnwunShFO1cf4/s1600-h/cara+1.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivXOCaIjo-JiFvtPLDZ2uVVT_PGrxMAE5o-m_f3hyx2AhkkUFc_LgULgutOc1df7LOV5Hxt-EdYlsFQQvx1kSR0BUl0gnk8moLjCYZ5XHDkzKLSwpxOeH_5mJsnwunShFO1cf4/s200/cara+1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5098954167163990994" border="0" /></a><br />I know. It's August. I haven't blogged in "forever" again. Why can't I keep up on this thing, anyway? Summer is quickly coming to an end. Cara turns 5 this Sunday and school starts next Wednesday. Camryn is excited to start 2nd grade and Cara will be in Kindergarten! My baby is starting "official" school! Selfishly, I can't wait to get some time to myself to work and get things done without both the girls here.<br /><br />My sister and her family are coming tomorrow for a visit. They've never been to our new house! Should be a fun weekend. We're having a little High School Musical 2 party Friday night, golfing, attending a community concert event on Saturday and hanging out. Hoping the weather holds out. It's been over 90 for like 2 months now, so hopefully it's won't suddenly change just because I have outdoor plans.<br /><br />The girls got hair cuts a few weeks ago. Camryn decided to go even shorter and it's really cute!Chelseahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15982880884212293720noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25668004.post-46569926937156372162007-07-09T11:00:00.000-06:002007-07-09T11:05:49.976-06:002nd Day in a RowCan you believe I'm posting again? Trying to get myself here and posting a bit more! Heading to pick up Camryn for dance camp in a few minutes but thought I'd throw in a little post since I have the time! It's official.....I am not a dedicated scrapper! I haven't scrapped in weeks aside from a card or 2. My plan is to get some layouts done this afternoon before I head to the golf course with Steve tonight. I have some of the new Making Memories Funky Vintage line that I'm dying to use and Basic Grey's Infuse. I need to get a circle journal done and mailed, too.<br /><br />And although this has nothing to do with scrapping or anything else but my love of Tim......I just had to post this for you Tim lovers out there!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOSEFMsViRZkTSpCipg9UFEHkU2HC7mBamC_tt5v6j247PtqfjuMIqm8t6lwAvxoARwEBn1qpCWKE9T2lHtLi-mteviIziFvzqfX6CnC3Nsd1YEbZO6FDBTfcwcwU1iaYczi8v/s1600-h/concert+48.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOSEFMsViRZkTSpCipg9UFEHkU2HC7mBamC_tt5v6j247PtqfjuMIqm8t6lwAvxoARwEBn1qpCWKE9T2lHtLi-mteviIziFvzqfX6CnC3Nsd1YEbZO6FDBTfcwcwU1iaYczi8v/s200/concert+48.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5085244432602015058" border="0" /></a> Have a great Monday!Chelseahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15982880884212293720noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25668004.post-2239733633757063572007-07-08T12:13:00.001-06:002007-07-08T12:20:42.766-06:00It's been months!

Hope to catch up and be more consistent again once dance settles down and school is out!!<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTxf67jh04oomGbE34oaeztZj70womDL199PfstZBhngE6V43MkK169u8jPA4RP3xdBA5QyE8ZUNiB5Ms-C459qSmI8QOG1cbG-UG7vxk84fnN5Ar6e8fxVKbWrg_WVEFCkkFe/s1600-h/egg+white+hair+3.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTxf67jh04oomGbE34oaeztZj70womDL199PfstZBhngE6V43MkK169u8jPA4RP3xdBA5QyE8ZUNiB5Ms-C459qSmI8QOG1cbG-UG7vxk84fnN5Ar6e8fxVKbWrg_WVEFCkkFe/s200/egg+white+hair+3.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5060379605578118594" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg28QE3s6Xt780F4789uoNDKTnD154HhSLgkUvViq061EeY24TTL73qjYuR8c_F9uSVt10itDUR457REOVFaSqIthYb7Y2E62IrKj_8kKjZsDWp711Xf2zCyHRwIf6GLvynTSVT/s1600-h/Rock+Star--sized.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg28QE3s6Xt780F4789uoNDKTnD154HhSLgkUvViq061EeY24TTL73qjYuR8c_F9uSVt10itDUR457REOVFaSqIthYb7Y2E62IrKj_8kKjZsDWp711Xf2zCyHRwIf6GLvynTSVT/s200/Rock+Star--sized.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5060379622757987826" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZWxUhd647z8Z6xkmqSdDKB2Wo65HREyZkTtJn-aMtWTakxzuMSTsDUXoFgK3mzeIDlSHhqGZ0HY22awlgK4GdimitrJNf8fW97HrIIWTK-GTDyHUx29zmbKQcwLVf4dyWygOC/s1600-h/Girls.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZWxUhd647z8Z6xkmqSdDKB2Wo65HREyZkTtJn-aMtWTakxzuMSTsDUXoFgK3mzeIDlSHhqGZ0HY22awlgK4GdimitrJNf8fW97HrIIWTK-GTDyHUx29zmbKQcwLVf4dyWygOC/s200/Girls.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5060379618463020514" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJphzbadMVU1pAq_PTelMGvxnCykp_6zHXpx27fbLQet8AHCamMhBrOiO4nPOAAe_y6ftOk5PMPd3xa1SqdRPRr01vswRbXMsBVN0DTtP3IcgUG_2KjwP6qVjRpEtRGynRy7yA/s1600-h/Be+Happy.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJphzbadMVU1pAq_PTelMGvxnCykp_6zHXpx27fbLQet8AHCamMhBrOiO4nPOAAe_y6ftOk5PMPd3xa1SqdRPRr01vswRbXMsBVN0DTtP3IcgUG_2KjwP6qVjRpEtRGynRy7yA/s200/Be+Happy.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5060379614168053202" border="0" /></a>Chelseahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15982880884212293720noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25668004.post-5644749582126814802007-03-06T09:59:00.000-07:002007-03-06T10:04:51.516-07:00Silly Hair<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4LHETjs2R0w2fUFi6O694hg4giqIEBvBbhZDFAaBlwe06ZcaaGKH6JgXmsIPMOtd8-SFOHob9iY202Q0JLKKI4aANHfYzD_CyFMn89IKrUu7XIibrj7VahzE389Bf6SWhFkJ7/s1600-h/Camryn+rags.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4LHETjs2R0w2fUFi6O694hg4giqIEBvBbhZDFAaBlwe06ZcaaGKH6JgXmsIPMOtd8-SFOHob9iY202Q0JLKKI4aANHfYzD_CyFMn89IKrUu7XIibrj7VahzE389Bf6SWhFkJ7/s200/Camryn+rags.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5038858411560023746" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXV5zQElZcoiAxXQ1UuBGtUkBn2MgwKRcnG6BMRBjkVARivCf1hRToiyCdUGdF7eb4dlklr5Wss722B5OmxOjdupVyMGmbzQELwUqOG_pmAX2RiLNEKUybK-8zpusEWjftVxLf/s1600-h/Cara+rags.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXV5zQElZcoiAxXQ1UuBGtUkBn2MgwKRcnG6BMRBjkVARivCf1hRToiyCdUGdF7eb4dlklr5Wss722B5OmxOjdupVyMGmbzQELwUqOG_pmAX2RiLNEKUybK-8zpusEWjftVxLf/s200/Cara+rags.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5038858415854991058" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Camryn has a dance performance this afternoon and has to have really curly pig tails. So last night I cut a bunch of old fabric into strips and rolled her hair in them. She slept in them last night and is wearing them to school today. After school I'll take them out right before her performance and smooth them out a bit! Of course, Cara wanted "rags" in her hair, too. Her hair is so short now that I could only do the top. It was a mess when we took them out this morning but it turned out cute. She looked like a little rockstar when I took her to preschool today. I'll take a picture of Camryn's later in her dance costume!!!<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhs89R22dQJdk9MiaO4OOAF-aNZ_3mF_arSJXvrKCtwbEMQhsWFvzUo3zw9gstsJ4WG-xj2AfIs_jdejPOcFPDdomkxQ4s0LNdgk71S4FUx3536ymURp44GX6o5CyBQjIbnejhV/s1600-h/rock+star+2.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhs89R22dQJdk9MiaO4OOAF-aNZ_3mF_arSJXvrKCtwbEMQhsWFvzUo3zw9gstsJ4WG-xj2AfIs_jdejPOcFPDdomkxQ4s0LNdgk71S4FUx3536ymURp44GX6o5CyBQjIbnejhV/s200/rock+star+2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5038858428739892978" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiycvNFMs_BagIBUOiMpSLf5Hz0qj0sIYMnQusC_WZRuQEgD3D-0vxrZV-FJL7dDknTQJk0Ao-dXERpydIii23n09qGQY2vI-QQ4ZUrqZoV47a90we6jR4zHg_8VXanjPwPTXrs/s1600-h/rock+star+1.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiycvNFMs_BagIBUOiMpSLf5Hz0qj0sIYMnQusC_WZRuQEgD3D-0vxrZV-FJL7dDknTQJk0Ao-dXERpydIii23n09qGQY2vI-QQ4ZUrqZoV47a90we6jR4zHg_8VXanjPwPTXrs/s200/rock+star+1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5038858424444925666" border="0" /></a>Chelseahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15982880884212293720noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25668004.post-84773934717772843552007-03-04T15:26:00.000-07:002007-03-04T15:30:29.217-07:00Home Again!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiI3heHUF51zO9e7TGNj4FHPS9YAiAT-KTK3cUuahNrB7Vqz20ufY8H6hHGsJLR9LC07rndvIZ-5updRsjsxGBsSWs0KgqS5wbIBGvx0LnjnmTOnKbkSgQIYayaHAV_5DW0R7YR/s1600-h/Untitled_9_b_w.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiI3heHUF51zO9e7TGNj4FHPS9YAiAT-KTK3cUuahNrB7Vqz20ufY8H6hHGsJLR9LC07rndvIZ-5updRsjsxGBsSWs0KgqS5wbIBGvx0LnjnmTOnKbkSgQIYayaHAV_5DW0R7YR/s320/Untitled_9_b_w.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5038200181308962242" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLw9Y7xQ6Fwpxt_Qq0FqwaAyU8aVrX0z6dYWh4ftuKdhYiA2L7yG05BlrO4jw82ZhQu7tFF94bGLFNQb2iOTnjz5oAPKhkBIqNaydDj5I40V7ggtetcl1vGAEt-KsW44JDrmUQ/s1600-h/Untitled_8_2.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLw9Y7xQ6Fwpxt_Qq0FqwaAyU8aVrX0z6dYWh4ftuKdhYiA2L7yG05BlrO4jw82ZhQu7tFF94bGLFNQb2iOTnjz5oAPKhkBIqNaydDj5I40V7ggtetcl1vGAEt-KsW44JDrmUQ/s320/Untitled_8_2.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5038200185603929554" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinPyd9ZWEmjIrkzcO68ZwH_7oslLYBe8gA6EnmryiMTbygo53MCWiHbtkZseLSOrBX9SZk5OZLVG_FIs-WUoMIUJbt5Mm_6f-FHtVjsHNhlpnRHulwTwSJV94HdkL2pyvSvJn6/s1600-h/Untitled_2_b_w.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinPyd9ZWEmjIrkzcO68ZwH_7oslLYBe8gA6EnmryiMTbygo53MCWiHbtkZseLSOrBX9SZk5OZLVG_FIs-WUoMIUJbt5Mm_6f-FHtVjsHNhlpnRHulwTwSJV94HdkL2pyvSvJn6/s320/Untitled_2_b_w.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5038200189898896866" border="0" /></a><br />Well, we had a great trip to Las Vegas. Spent too much money, but it was so relaxing and fun! I forgot how nice it is to be away from everything for awhile! I missed the girls tremendously and I was glad to come home. I had the best time ever with Wendy Reed! We went to Starbucks, had some yummy chai latte drinks, visited and then headed out to three different scrapbook stores. Wendy brought me a bag full of fun scrappin' supplies that I can't wait to use! Then we picked up her handsome son Shon and went out to lunch at Macaroni Grill! It was so good and we had the sweetest dessert! I had a terrific day with her and she is just the sweetest girl!!! Here are some pics that Shon took of us!Chelseahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15982880884212293720noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25668004.post-67938311691942992182007-02-25T16:35:00.000-07:002007-02-25T16:40:11.364-07:00New Design Team!!!I am overjoyed...seriously....I just found out that I am one of the new members of the Scrapbook Chalet's Creative Team!!

It's basically the same style but I had him cut several inches off for a new look! I've lost some weight over the past few months and I thought a change was in order. This isn't the best photo, however, since I had to snap it myself! Hopefully I'll get some better pictures with Wendy next week in Vegas!!<br /><br />Do you ever look at pictures of yourself and think...YUCK??? My eye looks droopy, my chin looks huge and pointy and well...just not too pretty now that I've added it here!

Although I'm really excited about going, there is just SO much to do! It's hard when Steve and I are both gone at the same time. There's all of our packing to do and I have to get the girls ready to stay with a friend for a week! It's nice to get away, it really is....but I have to say that I've really been dreading this! So much work prepaing! Ugh! Since I'm a contract employee I don't get vacation. Well, paid vacation, I should say. My plan was to get 2 weeks worth of work done this week so I wouldn't feel guilty being gone next week. THAT HASN'T HAPPENED! Hopefully I'll be very productive this weekend!<br /><br />I am SUPER excited to meet my friend Wendy Reed in Vegas, though. While Steve is in meetings I'm heading out on the town with Wendy! Not sure what she has planned yet but I'm really looking forward to spending time with her. And let's face it....Steve is really looking forward to me NOT spending time in the casino. We both like to gamble a bit and being there a week can get quite expensive!<br /><br />Hoping to get lots of work done and try to do at least one layout before I go. I'm taking the laptop so if all else fails I suppose I can work while I'm there. But that won't be any fun! Maybe I can get online there, too, and see what everyone is up to while I'm away!!Chelseahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15982880884212293720noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25668004.post-1171045480121894132007-02-09T11:22:00.000-07:002007-02-09T11:24:40.150-07:00HOF....down the drain!!!Well...I had the best intentions, really I did. I read the assignments early, planned out a few and really tried to find time to work on them. However, tomorrow is the deadline and I only completed four layouts! Guess I won't be waiting around for disappointment again this year...that's the good thing about not finishing my entry, right? I do love the 4 layouts that I completed and I'll post them here later! Hoping to do more scrapping this weekend! I was sort of in a grove last week but haven't scrapped since then and I'm not sure if my mojo will return!!Chelseahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15982880884212293720noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25668004.post-1168792815639073272007-01-14T09:33:00.000-07:002007-01-14T09:40:15.660-07:00Sunday, Sunday!!It's Sunday morning...and it's cold! There has been a cold streak around here and it's not warming up! It was -15 this morning when I got up. The sun is shining and the snow is glistening on the ground but it's too cold to go out and enjoy it!!<br /><br />I had a great time chatting with the <a href="http://www.scrapthatmoment.com">Scrap That Moment</a> girls last night! They even inspired me to throw my hat in the ring for HOF this year. I've tried three years and haven't even gotten an honorable mention...but at least I'll get some layouts done and challenge myself creatively! I was worried about completing the Inventive Technique layout...but after getting some inspiration last night I whipped out an inventive technique and even completed the layout to go with it! Woo hoo!! I'm on a roll! Well, okay, really I'm just starting but we'll pretend it's a "roll".<br /><br />Steve is in Mesquite for his week long trip. He won't return until late Friday night! It's really good for him to get away every January but I sure miss him. It's hard to do everything by myself and I just miss his company sometimes! It is nice to not have to cook a big dinner every night, though! The girls are totally happy with easy stuff!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/4192/2685/1600/401438/avatar.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/4192/2685/320/682035/avatar.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br />I don't have anything really exciting to blog about today...just thought I'd work on my resolutions and stay active! I need to get some work done today so I'm not putting it all off until next weekend! Shouldn't be too bad since it's too cold to leave the house!<br /><br />Here's a picture I took of myself the other day. I rarely get photos of me unless I take them myself. My eyes are bit shadowed from the sun but it's kind of a fun one! I used a brush in photo shop around the outside for a different look!

Cara has had a rash since Tuesday that won't go away with Benedryl so I ran her to urgent care this morning...Strep Throat! Yuck! She cried so hard because her and Camryn were invited to a Princess Tea Party birthday party today and she couldn't go. So devastating. Think I may have to scrap this one! I feel bad for her!<br /><br />The weather is cold, windy and snowing. It's so dang cold!!! I do enjoy snow but not when it's 20 degrees and the wind is blowing 30 mph. Ugh! Camryn is at the party now, Cara is settled in the living room watching t.v. and Steve is at the gym. I've got to work here at home most of the weekend. Steve's playing poker at a friend's house tonight so I may rent the girls a movie to keep them busy while I work. If I can get enough work done I may scrap tomorrow! Yea!!<br /><br />Waiting for a box of product to do some Scrappy Chick stuff! Can't wait!!!Chelseahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15982880884212293720noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25668004.post-1168027492392632782007-01-05T12:56:00.000-07:002007-01-05T13:04:52.426-07:00A New YearI can't believe it's a new year!! Where did the time go? I haven't blogged in months and I've decided to renew my commitment to keeping this thing current! The holidays were great with Steve and I both having some time off.<br /><br />My DT term at Create My Keepsake is over but I still love that community. I was asked to be on the DT for Scrappy Chick Magazine and I'm super excited about this!! Things are looking great heading into 2007! <br /><br />I updated my blog with Tim's new video! Can't wait til the new album in March!! Woo Hoo!!! That's all for now!Chelseahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15982880884212293720noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25668004.post-1156951058311562162006-08-30T08:48:00.000-06:002006-08-30T09:17:38.333-06:00<span style="color: rgb(204, 102, 204);"><span style="font-family: georgia;">I haven't blogged in weeks!!! So...I've decided to renew my commitment to my blog. Here's some random happenings around the Giles household lately:<br /><br />Cara: she starts 4 year old preschool next week. Yep...4 years old! She had a birthday on August 19th! Can't believe my baby is growing up so quickly! We go to a "meet the teacher and your classmates" thing tomorrow and she's so excited! Same teacher as last year and the one Camryn had for 2 years before Cara...Mrs. Dance...we love her!!!<br /><br />Camryn: They are building a new school in our neighborhood and it's not done. Ughh!!! The other kids in the district started a week ago. We're hoping that the new school is done by the proposed start date of next Tuesday. She'll be in 1st grade....all day long!!! I can't believe it!!! She's been testing my patience and although I'll miss her during the day....I have to admit that I can't wait for that first school bell to ring!!<br /><br />Me: I've been working away lately. Haven't had much time to scrap....but as soon as school starts I'm hoping to get back into a good schedule!! I'm waiting on the KI Memories Album contest...supposedly they're making calls on Friday!!! I really want this one!! I wasn't sure I'd like the Color Theory line but can I tell you? I LOVE MY ALBUM!!!!! It's really freestylin' and fun!!! I'm also waiting on the Piggy Tales DT call!!! They are supposedly announcing by tomorrow! Haven't seen anyone "tooting" for this yet! I'm going to die waiting for the KI call!!!!<br /><br />Steve: not much new with Steve!!! He is taking another college course that started last Wednesday. History of Western Civilization. Fun!!! Blech....so glad I'm done with school. He's also coaching grid kid football so he's gone most evenings until supper time. It's nice that he's got some "manly" stuff to do since we only have girls. His nephew is on the team and he is coaching with some people I work with. Should be fun to go to the games...we've watched for the past 2 years.<br /><br />Well....that's about it for now. I'm hoping to re-dedicate myself to my blog and be more consistent posting!!! Thanks for reading!!<br /></span></span>Chelseahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15982880884212293720noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25668004.post-1153098155061596752006-07-16T18:54:00.000-06:002006-07-16T19:02:35.076-06:00Sunday Blog Challenge for 7/161.

Tell me one person you admire as a scrapper/artist and why. <span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);">I really admire Elsie Flannigan because she does her own thing, doesn't follow the rules and isn't afraid to be unique, regardless of what people think of her!!<br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">3. What is one thing that you've never tried on a layout or project that you'd really like to try? <span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 0);">Well, I tried sewing with a machine once and it didn't turn out so great! I think I'd like to try the dry embossing...haven't done that yet. I've done the wet embossing and like it, but never the dry!<br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">4. What is your favorite time of year to scrap and why? <span style="color: rgb(204, 102, 204);">I like scrapping in the winter....there's nothing like being warm, having fun creating, being surrounded by all my favorite supplies and looking out the window to a beautiful snowy day.<br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">5. List 2 other people's scrappy blogs that you enjoy reading and post a link to them. <br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 153, 0);">I love reading Elsie's blog <a href="http://elsieflannigan.blogspot.com/">A Beautiful Mess</a><br />and Donna Downey's blog <a href="http://donnadowney.typepad.com/">Simply Me</a><br />Donna is so funny and has some entertaining posts.

It was a great show and I think kids of all ages will like it. As in other recent Disney shows...there are always wise cracks that only adults get that make it interesting for us parents, too!
