C'est La Vie....

That's Life.....gosh is that the truth....our team lost the Homecoming game by 3 points friday night...it was a very close, great game, but then life just happens....lol
I took over 80 pictures of the game and homecoming ceremonies...way too many to load here, but I will share a few of them with you...then I will share the OLD video that I found that matches my title of this post...



Also, we have some great activities at MyScrapShop.com today...lots of fun stuff going on all week long with some great sales...and some really fun games and challenges.


Here is the silly video...gotta love that 80's hair....lol

Happy Friday Mornin' to ya...

I am so glad it is Friday....it has been the longest week here....it has also been the exit level TAKS exams for my two older kids, please pray that they passed them. And it was our homecoming week at the high school....and it was DARE to keep kids off drugs week at both the elementary and intermediate schools....EVERYDAY has been awful here....lol We have all had to dress up in some way, shape, or form this week. Today is "Blue and Gold" day for the homecoming game. We are all supposed to dress up in all blue and gold...there will be some strange children at school today with face paint and the whole nine yards....lol
But on a down side it will be soooooo rowdy it is awful....
We had a blast again last night at the MSS Chat....I counted one time and there were 36 people in the chat room....at one time! But we had so much fun....I meowed using the sound function on the menu bar for the chat room, and I got all kinds or rowdiness stirred up....lol Lots of slapping, whipping, barking, and meowing went off...lol
There are tons of new products released this week too...stop by MSS to check them out...they are on sale for 24 hours to boot, so run on over to get a good deal. The downloads for the chat were fabulous too!
This is my newest kit this week. Its a mini kit and is priced great...it even comes with a quick page in the kit for you to throw those pics of your goblin in and print away. As you can tell my daughter is a kitty nut so everything has kitty eyes...lol

Hope you like it. This is Ryan and Ryleigh and their scary faces several years ago....I just love this picture of them...lol

Don't forget to check out my kit from last week called "Down on the Farm" lol It is full of silly farm animals....
Hugs for now,

We jad a fabulous chat last night...there were over 30 people there at one time! It was wonderful! There are over 30 new products in our store today so stop by and catch some great deals...all the new stuff is on sale today only...
Here is one of my new kits:

It is called 'Down on the Farm." I had a blast making all these critters...they were fun. My hubby and kids all had to critic my animals as I made them...Ryleigh wanted me to make every single animal ever invented...but I finally contained her with just FARM animals...lol

Oh geeezzzzeeee....Lots of cheeeeeeese over here.

So far this week I have gotten three of my kids school pics, and my own....geez are we cheesy! Big ol' hammy faces! LOL! I remember taking school pictures when I was a kid. My mom would fix my hair and dare me to mess it up! lol So of course I do my kids the same way...lol But the boys always find a way to mess theirs up...they are so funny. And this year one of the girls has on LIME green nail polish! What is up with that? And of course I picked the pose that has here posed with her arms crossed in front of her...so we can really see them good! lol Can we say PHOTOSHOP! lol
We have a family reunion to go to on Saturday for my hubby's family. My family decided to schedule theirs for the same day...so as a boycot I am not going to it. I hate last minute plans...especially when I have already made plans...that is one of my pet peeves....last minute people who just assume you will bend to fit their new schedules....well, I say "No"...I hate having to feel like I am being made to revolve around someone else...it just drives me nuts.
What is going on in your corner of the world this weekend? We have lots of new and fabulous products in the store tomorrow! Go check them all out and get a deal or two while you are there...www.myscrapshop.com
Hugs for now,

Tuesday is running madly around the room....

Geez, my weeks are flying by these days....although I think I have said that before....lol
Please pray for my dd to get a job today...she has an inerview today. Keep all the kids in your prayers as they prepare for their TAKS tests next week. Especially the seniors, if they don't pass it they do not get to even walk across the stage for graduation....talk about pressure!
My son is one of them. Although they usually take the exit level tests as juniors, then they have several tries to get them passed if needed. My son is one of three who are graduating early so he will only have October and April to pass them. He isn't terribly worried though since he has had commended performance on them all his life...lol Hopefully he will be starting college next fall....and I hope it is somewhere near here...
We are going to doctor today for hubbies leg....pray it is good news. I have been drawing a little lately. Something I so desparately needed. My kids are so funny about it, they are shocked that I can actually wield a pencil into a piece of artwork....lol My little boys can draw wonderfully. I don't know where they think they got those genes from...lol
I have a new kit coming out this Friday at MyScrapShop.com. It is called Down On The Farm...
I will have to make a Sneak Peak page to let you see a bit of it ahead of time....lol
We reveal the new kits at the chat on Thursday nights at 8:00 CT. Stop by and chat a while and grab up the wonderful freebies that they all come up with! Last week there were LOTS of freebies plus a coupon from Pillowgirl...and we had a fabulous turnout! I have never seen so many people in a chat room before! We had lots of fun and lots of laughs!
So mark your calendars and stop by Thursday night, October 16th, 2008 at 8:00 CT, 9:00 EST...
Big HUgs for now,

Friday is back again?

Wow my weeks are flying by...I don't know where my time keeps going but I am sure it has swift wings and breaks the sound barrier...lol
There is lots going on in our world as I am sure there is with yours. Teenagers are partly to blame at our house but the little kids and my hubby are also thrown in the mix. Tony had his last surgery Tuesday...I hope. He is recovering nicely now. He was in excruciating pain the second day after it and is feeling much better now.
I did manage to scrap a page or two while I was in the waiting room at the hospital though. Even though I forgot to take my sweater with me and I was soooo cold it was awful. I had some magazine work to do and I ran off and forgot one of the main disks I needed so I just scrapped instead. There is lots going on in the scrap world too.
Booland Designs opened up her own store...it is gorgeous. You can find it at BoolandDesigns.com.
There is a fabulous new blog, some great challenges, and a gorgeous daily download called Apple Orchard.
Over at MyScrapShop.com we have a new entry way and a great Download a Day too! It is made by several of our designers and is from a great fall color pallete too. Drop by for that and the fun challenges hosted there as well.
I have been working on my family tree stuff a bit too since our family reunions are coming up in 2 weeks. I have reconnected with some of my old friends, one of whom has been my best friend since the fourth grade. I am so glad to find her again.
We are at the end of the first 6 weeks of school already and I just can't believe it.
Well, I better get off here and get a few more things done on my break.
Hugs for now,
Claudette

Boo has been working feverishly for a while now to get this store ready for business...so go check it out and grab her great daily download too! IT is called Apple Orchard and let me say it is fabulous! I am going to try to make a page with it this evening to share with you all.
