I love to tease...

Oh, my poor best friends. I kept you waiting, waiting, waiting for the scrappy goodness even though I had promised you'd have them the very next day. Why oh why am I the biggest procrastinator that ever lived? I am such a naughty tease... heh.

Okay, without further ado, here are the two layouts that I made with new kits. Prepare yourself and watch your droll.

First up is the cute new Kewl Stuff collection by Imaginisce. This paper is super thick and (non-scrappers, tune out) the colors are so rich and luscious. Seriously. I could almost wallpaper my living room in this stuff! (But I won't...yet.)

Diggin' it! The only problem is that the buttons scooted too close to each other. I had them further apart and then they moved. As if magic. I dunno. I will have to redo because my OCD just won't let it be. You know how I roll.

K, next is the lovely Scrapworks Canvas Collection but I can't remember the official title. Maybe At the Sea or something like that. Eh...who cares. Anyhoo, feast your eyes:

Yes, I know. The cupcake rub-on is retarded. Too late now. But I just love how the colors look in this layout. Ahhhhh...I am a scrapping genius.

No more layouts to share. I haven't scrapped since I did these. But I have GOT to get a move on! My kits are backing up on me! I look like a postal warehouse with all those dang boxes piling up. Eh.

And now for another episode of Dianna and Her Meaty, Fleshy Arms:

Wow, a particularly good show this time. Lookie, Bristol is scared. He's like what the freak is that white blobbish thing?! It is better to hold you with, my dear, it is better to hold you with.

And this photo brings a lump to my throat. Momma and baby looking all blissful and happy:

Sweeeet. I love this boy! So precious. Oh, and the wayward hand next to Hannah's face belongs to my brother. Perhaps I should have edited it out because it sort of looks a little creepy dangling there unattached. But oh well. Shoulda coulda woulda. My procrastination habit rules once again!

No more talky now. I'm tired. And work beckons, although it is Friday, and by law it should be nothing more than a goof-off day. But no one listens to me about important stuff. Hmmmpfh.

Have a great weekend, lovelies! Til next time (whenever that may be)...

Baby Bristol Extravaganza

I can't believe I haven't posted these pictures for you. What bad, bad auntie am I! The following photos were taken on Christmas day featuring my adorably handsome nephew, Bristol, all of 5 days old. Behold:

Oh, good lord, can you stand it? How sweet and utterly angelic is this photo? I want one!

Well, what I really mean is that I want one for a few quiet, poop-free hours in which to play and hold and ogle over. Then when it's sleepy time (mine, not his), I can give him back. Wonder how I can get that arranged? Will have to do some research.

Okay, next photo is of me looking all auntie-ish and semi-fat. Maybe I need to surround myself with bigger people so I don't look so big. Maybe I don't want a baby after all.

Man, look at those man hands! Good god, show me to the diet plate...I'll take two.

Lastly, here is darling daughter, Autumn, holding her new cousin. This is the same day, new outfit. Dressing up babies is fun!

I just noticed Autumn has a wonky eye. Hmmm...too much drinky? Haha.

And more good news for my peeps -- I scrapped! Seriously, I made lots this weekend seeing as I had nothing else to do besides stare at the flippin' ice storm outside. Blech. Anyhoo, I will post them tomorrow.

(Yes, yes, you can wait...)

Later, my lovelies. Off to drink me a hot chocolate and pretend I need it. Kisses!

What up?

I know I know I know. You don't even have to say anything; I already feel bad all by myself. My New Year's Resolution of being the best blogger on Earth ever ever has been literally flushed down the loo. Along with the diet and the exercise. So I'm three for three. And it's only January 11. I predict a fantastic 2007 for me.

Oh, but let's stop the whining! I am here today, trying to make up for my lack-o-blogging. Certainly, I get friendship points for that?

Here's my excuse:

I've been sick. For a whole damn week. I don't know what that's about, but I'm pretty sure it came about when I swallowed a Taco Bell nacho sideways. Note to my peeps: don't do that. It gives you a wicked sore throat and it is disgusting.

I actually went to the doctor because having a sore throat for a week is just not normal. Yes, my OCD-slash-hypochondria was kicking in just in time for the new year. Anyhoo, doc looks in my throat, proceeds to tell me how ugly it is (geez, thanks), and writes out a script for the tastiest antibiotics I think I've ever had.

If you like to gag.

Now I am feeling much, much better. I can swallow again without practically peeing my pants. All good things.

So I'm hoping by this point, you've felt sorry for me and forgotten all about the thing which shall not be named. And if you don't know what I'm talking about, then my mission has been accomplished.

Current situation:

Sucked down the last undrinkable bits of a caramel blended latte -- you know, the mushy whipped creamy stuff that doesn't go up the straw, but instead makes really annoying slurping noises that drive your co-workers crazy? Yeah, it was that good.

Moved on now to a Dr. Pepper. And a game of Literati on Yahoo. And a little bit of My Spacin'. Oh, and work? I'm sorry, it is Thursday and there is no such thing as work on Thursday. (Seriously, I read that somewhere. Or else I made it up. Whatev.)

Toodle-loos, my hot sexy friends. More blogalicious fun coming soon!

New Year follies

It is 2007. I can't believe how this decade is flying by. Has it really been only 7 years since the Y2K hoopla? Since the time when I realized that Australia didn't explode, so the rest of the world should be okay? Amazing...

Hope everyone had a fab time. I went to my buddy, Stacy's, house. And I must say, she makes good snacks! I practically ate the entire tray of baked crab rangoon all by myself. Well, there were only twelve, so sue me!

Now I am on a diet. So far I've eaten Sonic, Taco Bell, and I'm thinking Arby's sounds really delish right about now. So, yeah. Doing really well. Me + New Year's Resolutions = what the freak ever.

Alrighty, my friends, I'm done now. I have much goofing off to do, and a trip to the vending machine is nigh important. Maybe I'll have something exciting to tell you tomorrow. We shall see...
