Fiora, originally uploaded by FioraBlythe.

Well, I finally broke down and bought one............ a Blythe that is!!!! So cool to practice my photography on too....and I have another on the way!!! Yes, they are expensive and addictive!!!! If you go on flickr and search under Blythe you will see all of the cool photos of everyone's Blythe dolls!!! Yes, I named her Fiora!!! What do you think?????

I have Frosty Frock on the way from Hong Kong!!! I have not named her yet.......any suggestions????????!!!!!!!!!!!They are not sold any where in the US. Blythe started in 1972 under Kenner. If fizzled out and now Blythe is back with avengence!!! LOL!!!!

It is a whole new world out there with lots of fun people talking about their new handmade Blythe outfits and the like!!!

I think Fiora is beautiful, however, lots of my friends think she is a little scary looking!! HEE HEE HEE!!!!

I can't wait to start all of my photo shoots with her!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Old Photos.....

2009-05-05T11:15:00.000-05:00

So I was feeling a little bit nastalgic last night and dug into my photo boxes. I found this wonderful photo of my mom and dad. Rare seeing them together since they have been divorced since I was 3!!!
I am truly glad I got this onto a layout and happy that it will be preserved for my children.

The other layout is of me and my hubby 10 Years ago!!! Boy was I skinny!!! Well that was before children!! LOL

New Layouts......

2009-04-29T09:51:00.002-05:00

Yep a little bit of Crate Paper again!!!!! And a few other lines thrown in there. I am loving my sewing machine!! You can do so much with it, like sewing circles and embellishing your pages. I do like to hand stitch also. Did you all see the new Prima Canvas Albums???!!! I am working on it right now. I finished one page last night and had so much fun. The fabric gives you the freedom to paint, sew, dye and much more. Donna Downey is awesome!!!! Try and visit her blog at donnadowney.typepad.com to see how she created her Canvas Album!!!!

Ok, So I am in Love with Crate Paper!!!!

2009-04-20T09:45:00.004-05:00

This is what I did in the rain on Saturday!! I have been waiting and waiting for these papers!!!! I bought them on Saturday and went straight home and got right to work!!! I so love those cute little owls (Its me and Carolyn as OWLS sitting in the tree!!) and all of the fun colors in this line!!!

Ok, so I almost did not upload the mushroom one. I know the embellishments are kinda jumbled up, but I wanted to use them all on this layout!! I am glad I finally got to scrap us together!!!

Thanks for taking a peek!!

Scrappy Stuff

2009-02-23T17:49:00.003-06:00

A couple of weekends ago, we went on a camping trip. It was a blast.....besides the fact that my husband caught the camp ground on fire......Let me explain. Carolyn and I were taking a nap. Jacob and Jake wanted to cook some hotdogs for lunch. So when they were finished, Jake threw a pot of water on the fire. They wanted to go on a search for more hiking trails so off they went. Meanwhile, I kept hearing someone using our water from our cabin. Then I heard people screaming. So I thought, let me go check. I went outside and saw the camp ground on fire!!!! The wind was so strong that there was an ember that flew out of the fire ring. I was so embarrased, the park rangers were out there with their lights on and people were on their tail gates watching!!!!

Needless to say we still had fun. Here are some things that I scrapped in the past few days.

Another one.....

Design Team # 7 Assignment

2008-10-29T08:32:00.004-05:00

"Future Photographer"

Ok, so we got to pick our kit this month. But when I got home, I was not feeling it!!! So I waited 2 weeks before I decided to start on it. I decided to put Jacob in this one since the papers are a little on the masculine side. We had to use 4 out of the 12 challenges Melissa gave us.

I used these:

1. Use Rub-ons on chipboard
2. Use Sewing to create a shape or other design
3. Use Paint
4. Distress

Products:
Craft n Craftin' Papers
Maya Road Chipboard Birds
Prima Felt
Owls - Courtesy of My fellow DT Member Jeanne Pellerin
Jenny Bowlin Crate Papers
Red Thread
Black Thickers
Ranger Paint
Metal Buttons Unknown
Cardstock Bazzil

I found some metal buttons and covered them with the Craftin' papers. Then I did some distressing by pulling back some of the cardstock and then painting the edges to show the other paper. For the birds eyes, I sewed French knots. I also used a Martha Stewart punch and created a scalloped edge on one of the papers. I added some X's on the Jenny Bowlin papers. I also sewed through and on the American Crafts Thickers for the title!!!

Here is a sneak peek!!!

2008-10-28T10:31:00.001-05:00

Here is a sneek of my Treasured Memories Design Team Lo!!! Very different for me. Stay tuned for more!!!!

Beautiful Weekend!!!!!

It was so gorgeous this weekend!!! I could have stayed outside all weekend!! I got some scrappin done. Did my October Calendar Lo, One LO from the Scralet Lime Kit and one LO from A Million Memories October KIT. Used a few things in each layout from my stash too!!! The "Tree Boy" layout is about the big tree that fell from the hurricanes at the park. The "You Inspire Me" Layout is about my sweet husband who I just adore. He is a wonderful husband and father and deserved a LO about that!!!!! Thanks for letting me share!!

Stay tuned for a SNEAK PEEK of my next Layout for the Treasured Memories Design Team Challenge!!!!!

My Poor Sweet Baby!!!

2008-09-09T08:50:00.004-05:00

They did a chest X-Ray yesterday and Carolyn has pneumonia in both lungs!!!! I feel so helpless!! She looks so sick and tired. Her fever has gone down. Please say a prayer for her that she gets well soon!!!! She is such a sweet little angel and even sometimes smiles through all of this!!! They took blood from her yesterday and gave her a shot of antibiotics. The needle was huge, but she was a little trooper!!!! I have to take her to the doctor tomorrow to see if she is better. If she gets worse they will have to hospitialize her!!! But I really think she will get better. Thank you in advance for your prayers!!! :)
Here are some more lo's that I did through the hurricane.

What A Week!!!

2008-09-08T13:01:00.002-05:00

It has been a crazy week, with the Hurricane and then Carolyn being so sick. Poor baby, she had Strep Throat from Day Care on Friday. Then she gets a Sinus Infection on Wednesday. Now, today, the Daycare called and she has 102.4 fever!!!! I have taken so much off of work, that I had to ask Jake to bring her to the doctor this time. She has been to the doctor 3 times in one week!!!!! And on top of all of this she has the worst diaper rash!!!!!!!!! I feel so helpless.
Through all of this, I managed to do some scrappin'!

So as I promised I did some more Cosmo Cricket LO's!!! I could not get enough!!! The
*Transform Into You* My son wanted to take a picture with his favorite Transformer....Optimus Prime!!
*Pump It Up* We went to the Sci port in Shreveport and they had this chair where you press a button and it pumps you up with air!!! My ds loved it!!!
*Silly Girl* We were downtown Shreveport and My dd was being silly!! I crackled the birds and made some circle flowers by crumpling them up and roughing up the edges!!
*Faces of Me* I had to do a lo to capture my dd's facial expressions. I cut out all of the little leaves and used a French Knot on all of the leaves and on the Owl Eyes. I crackled the tree too.
Thanks for taking a peek!!!!

Very Sad Day....

2008-07-26T17:41:00.002-05:00

My daughter's sitter passed away suddenly this morning in the hospital. I am still in shock. She was sooooooo good to my daughter. I know she adored Carolyn so much and she took such good care of her for all of her life. I just don't know how someone can go from being full of life and taking care of my daughter, to winding up in the hospital and then passing away?????? I just don't get it. I am so sad right now. I just can't believe I will not be seeing Mrs. Shirley everyday, twice a day. We would talk about flowers and Hobby Lobby all the time. She would always say, Oh boy it's "Blue Monday"!!! Jokingly of course!!!! I am going to really miss Mrs. Shirley and I just wanted to say that. She loved Carolyn so much and we loved her. I am grateful that we had her as long as we did. Thanks for letting me share some of my memories of Mrs. Shirley.
