I'm alive

Barely.  This last week has been nuts!  We've been so busy with paiting, moving, and then with me moving stores.  WOW.  What a week!  I'll be back with more soon...I promise!

Funky Junky Is UP at The LilyPad!

Our guest designer is Susan Designs!  How cool is that!?  I've always been a fan!  YAY!  So here's the Funky Junky scoop:

You can pick this up here!  Here are some amazing CT layouts:

Funky Junky Summer Lovin'...wanna win it?

There's a new Funky Junky coming out tomorrow at The Lilypad!  Are you excited?!  Well what if I told you we have a guest?!  Guess the guest and you could win the kit for free!!  Click here for your chance!   

2 posts in a day...don't faint ;)

I have a new love.  My gal Hillary suggested a Phyto Phytodefrisant hair relaxing balm for my hair (she has several times) and I finally got it this time.  I just used it for the first time.  It's amazing.  My hair is shiny...silky...and no crazy curl underneath (somehow pregnancy left me with crazy wiry frizzy hair underneath the stick straight top layer).  I LOOOOVE it!
So if you're in Utah...go over to the Haven salon in Provo and pick it up...you won't be sorry!!!

I also found it on Amazon...it's kind of spendy...but you use only a tiny bit...and it'll last forever!! (at least 6 months)

It's happening!

We're going to be home owners.  TODAY!  It's actually happening.  WOOHOO!  Sooo looks like we'll be moving this weekend. I am so thrilled! 
Last night my cousin Amanda, Nate, and I went to Iron Man. 

I loved it!  Such a good movie!  Can't wait for the next one! (there'll be a next one...right?)  We went to the 10:25 showing...and I'm Sooo draggin' the wagon today...I'm so old! hehehe.

So..any  Flight of the Conchords fans? Check this out...the original:

and now the A CAPPELLA. It was very entertaining and perfect for high school graduation:

Well...I'm gonnna go have a nap or something...yawn.

I be scrappin!

So there's a new awesome kit at FPD...really.  It's awwwesome!  Annie Manning (Paint the Moon) is our June guest and she's amazing!  Doesn't hurt that it's HUGE either! 
Check out this beutifulness:

Now how about some details?
     
How bout that?!  I love it.  So good news on the home front...we WILL be closing on Friday and we'll be new home owners!!! YAY!  The kids are now out of school...anyone have any good CHEAP summer activity ideas? :)  I'd love it if you'd share!  I've also done a bit of scrapping (click for full credits):

A delay...i hate delays ;)

Anyone who knows me knows that patience is not my strong suit.  Not by a long shot.  Our closing date was supposed to be on Wed. and we had to extend it until June 6th...we only hope Charles Schwab has their act together and gets our investment money to us in time for us to use it as a down payment.  I'll be broken hearted if we miss out on this house. 
Vana is having a hard time with her Cancer treatments.  She's considering stopping the experimental drug portion of the chemo because it's causing a crazy rash all over her.  It looks so painful!  Please send some extra prayers her way.  We love her so much. 
I started weight watchers again...all this time designing is not good for my girlish figure...:)  I just went to my first meeting this morning and I've already burned through 4 points...just for breakfast ::sigh::  I'm sure that I'll feel better once i get the extra weight off...i'm really quite excited to feel like my old self again.
Nate and the kids slept outside in the tent last night and they told spooky stories...Lucas had to win the best award...his had a house that turned into a person...twisters...spooky wind...and a forest...pumpkin...and ghost.  It was highly entertaining.  Nate recorded it on his phone and I'm so glad he did!  They (meaning the kids) had a fabulous time...Nate's just really tired this morning after being kicked by three wild sleepers. 
Well I'm off to do yard work at Grandma's house with Kasia :) WAHOO!

YAY WEEZER!

It's about time someone got all the famous stars of YouTube together in one place!!  It's so funny!

Ahhhhh....Tide with Bleach

I love it.  I love the smell.  I love how it cleans...I love tide with bleach...

While I'm at it...
I love Dermalogica Total Eye Care Cream.  I have never found anything that hides my dark circles and brightens the eye area that works as well as that...i go through a bottle a year...so it's worth it to me to fork out a little extra for something that works so darn good and will make me look not like this:

you won't be sorry if you try it...i promise.
