A Mad Tea Party Wonderland.

2008-09-17T03:26:00.000-07:00

We're hosting a Tea Party for our Girlah, mG, whose birthday was on the fifth. So join us in wishing her a very Happy Birthday! We'll be linking up some tea party goodness in the comments.

We hope you had a whimsically fantastic birthday! Cheers to our Queen of Hearts!

Love, Your Girlahs

Reunited...

2008-08-26T01:08:00.000-07:00

And it feels so good :)

So we've met up with the Lieu's a handful of times already bc we were all staying at the same place. Yay. And we've tentatively planned to have dinner again. So much to talk about. We're so happy for them... they're both glowing! Congratulations again to the Mike and the J. Oooh, we should throw her an e-Baby shower :) Hollah.

And sorry for the blurry picture... it didn't auto focus, but it makes me love it better. Happy Monday my Girlahs!

Now... about that big reunion :)

14 weeks and 1 day

2008-08-10T16:50:00.000-07:00

So my dear Heidi asked, and you all shall receive.

I hit the 14th week mark yesterday (8.9.08) and it is still kinda weird to see my body change the way it is. Sometimes, it even grosses me out. To think I "used" to have a somewhat flat tummy, which has now turned into a pot belly. I told mR this, but if I look straight down at my toes, I can't see my crotch anymore. lovely huh? But if it means I get to grow a new person inside of me, then I'm willing to sacrifice.

my next appointment is in just over a week, and it might be the one where I can find out the sex of the baby. But Mike and I have both chosen to wait and be surprised, so we'll have to look away when the ultrasound gets to the nether region.

so here's the gnarly picture of the pot-belly-in-process, hopefully you wouldn't have just eaten dinner or anything.

only for you girahls, only for you.

HELLO OUT THERE...

2008-08-06T18:28:00.000-07:00

Just checking to see if anyone still happend upon our old hang out! ;)

Happy Belated Birthday, Alex!

2008-05-29T10:29:00.000-07:00

Sorry I'm a little late! But here are your birthday goods. Hope you like.

As promised...

2008-05-23T21:50:00.000-07:00

This is the tattoo I got... I went OZZY style across the knuckles.

And here's my b'day shout out to you! Mwwaaah and hugs to you, Girlah! Cheers with a cocktail to you right.... now!

Love, Heidi Bo

P.S. Never mind that someone* needed to blot the forehead bangs grease in their photo. Holy crap! *Edited to add that person is me.

Happy Birthday Alex!!!

2008-05-23T02:59:00.001-07:00

Jammah Joo! Happy Birthday to one Hot Mama... our Girlah, ARadd :) Wishing you a birthday as caliente as you are. We love yah!

We wish we could all be at your Cocktail Party, but know we'll all be there in heart. Speaking of heart...

Oh! we all got tattoos to celebrate the momentous occasion. Love us some ARadd! 4- Evah!

We'll be posting pages throughout the day to celebrate you!

Late to the Party...

2008-04-30T16:14:00.001-07:00

But I made it at last. So my first challenge from Heidi. Two pics of the kiddos, Anna Stuffs and one word title. As per usual the scan is horrific, but here's my take.

Ready? OKAY!

2008-04-29T20:19:00.000-07:00

Serious JV Cheer flashback with that title but I digress. Here's my page from Deanna's challenge... starring Me and Mister, A paper clip (haphazardly added?) "Our Song" and polka dots. We have so many songs, I just picked one that matched the paper. Does that make any sense? It's a Harry Connick Jr. song from Sleepless in Seattle. I think this needs something though... feels kinda naked. Plus it's going to be my submission for JLMS this month, too. Hmmm..

Okay and I am caught up on the Hills. Here's my take. Hahahaha that LC got all dressed up and Stephen shows up in a hoodie and jeans and says the word PLATONIC. Just like that, platonic, like if he could speak in caps, he would. Plus isn't he kind of dumb as a bag of hammers?

I want Audrina and JustinBobby to stir up trouble and make the whole backyard smell like patchouli and sandalwood and their B.O. and continue to make things awkward because Lo and LC are mean. (and p.s. Lo has totally ruined the show.) I'm with Deebs, bring back Kelly Cutrone. And how funny that you clarified me as "our Heidi" not THAT Heidi. Hahaha.

And now! Amber! You are in the game since you commented... sooo... I say here's your challenge!

A two pic layout of your kiddos
Using some Anna stuffs
and a one word title.

GO!

pardon the interruption.

2008-04-29T16:15:00.000-07:00

for this Hills break.
for serious?
this almost makes me throw up in my mouth.
i CAN'T STAND him.

You know we are gonna all run out and get this now.
Or maybe J can pick one up at work and scan in the pages huh?
with the million I sent you, it should cover it right?

Still have yet to watch last nights episode, but I am excited to see me some Stephen!
sad but true.

I've been served

2008-04-29T10:54:00.000-07:00

so my attempt to get a challenge done at work failed. I got about halfway through and then work just had to be done. so I finished up this morning and although its not exactly what I imagined, it is what it is.

I used pictures from our time at Disneyland back in November 2007. the kids were asleep at the hotel and the older Ramirez's came back out to play. AstroBlasters was the ride of the night. first we went on as pairs, and then each to our own car. very very fun!

AC: paper and thickers. 2 pictures, yup. non-scrap stuff: Dymo tape. hand journaling, done. I wish the title was a bit lower, but the adhesive had dried up and I had to use tombow. too lazy to remove because then that would require me to get off the sticky residue and restick. and this morning, I'm not quite in the redoing mode.

i wonder what mR is going to do....

Everyone Went To Bed...

2008-04-29T02:22:00.000-07:00

That's wha happens when you live in HI :) I took the longest, lol, but had some work things to tend to. Then I had to take a break to watch the Hills. But, I came with this. And I have other plans for that loot I won, so instead, I used those wittle rub on birds. Yay. Oh, and 10 buttons is, I think, the most I've ever had on one layout. A new record!

Oh yeah, and that dark shadow is my hand over the layout, lol. And maybe another day I'll snap a new pic to post, but for now... this'll do...

Gnight Girlahs. Until tomorrow... Payyyyyce.

One Down ...

2008-04-28T21:50:00.000-07:00

and how many more to go?
Daaaang.
i'm so inspired right now it's not even funny.
the Girlah's have some serious Spring Scrap Fever!

for the record:
something from my purse - knew that Club Crawl bracelet would come in handy one day!
tape - Heidi Swapp {Saturday}
3 dif pp's - MM, AC, AL
tearing - can ya see it?

whose gonna throw the next one at me?
i'm READY.

can i get a hot damn.

2008-04-28T14:40:00.000-07:00

i am babysitting today and so 2 + 2 is 4.
kids sleeping that would be.
and I got this done.
yippee.
and its also an entry for my paper adventure so double hot damn.
this is a blast.
keep em coming.

so....heidi has Deanna.
Did you get rechallenged H?
If not maybe the D-bird can get you back and then you could tag me.
Aradd be sure to check in the original past where I got you.

stick a fork in me...because I'm done!

2008-04-28T12:29:00.000-07:00

so here is my response to Heidi's challenge. I had to:
(1) use orange
(2) include something ledger lined or striped
(3) use something from my stash at least 3 months old
(4) use at least one rubon

and I did just that. orange 7gypsies paper, ledger paper from mR, a red Heidi Swapp heart I've had for at least 2 years and not one, but4 different rubons, most of which is at least 3 months old as well.

more of the picture from our shoot with Jamie Waters. until I get the rest of them, I will be using it over and over again.

mR, you're up next. do share when you are ready.

and since it looks as though we are all a go on the ATC swap (except for mG, haven't heard from her yet), I've decided that we should maybe do 2 ATCs instead of just one. the first card will be one of ourselves, sort of like our own baseball cards. so yes, there must be a picture of yourself somewhere on the card. the second one...hmm, how about one wish you would wish for if you were given a wish. does that make sense?? so get a'working on them and send them to me by, let's say the end of May. any questions? let me know!!

**I'm not sure why my picture won't expand when you click on it, but it's posted up on SIS if you wanna see the journaling.**

I'm ready!

2008-04-28T06:43:00.000-07:00

Paint? Check. Staples? Check. Colored letter stickers? Check. (Traced with white.) Last item purchased? Check. (That Making Memories gaffer tape.)

I'm ready for my next challenge, y'all.

We left off with Jamie challenging mR.... for the deets, check the comments on the post before this one.

Amber? A-Radd? Deebs? mG? Bring it on!

(Also the ATC swap is officially on. Make 7. Send to Jamie. WOOT. Theme?)

get yourself a scrappin'

2008-04-27T10:19:00.000-07:00

Hey girls.
So I was talking with Heidi and a huge light bulb came on as she said "it's like I just need someone to tell me I need you to make 7 ATC's or do this project and that will maybe spark my mojo."

SO what better than a post.
By this I mean pick 3 items for the poster above you to use and they will then create a project out of it and whatever else they choose.
You can pick 5 or whatever you feel like.
No rules just a good kick in the skirt to start using those items that are collecting dust.

I will start and then we can just keep it going in the comments.
DAng, this is gonna be fun.
Happy creating!

So you you Heidi girl....
*Colored letter stickers
*The last item you purchased.
*paint.
*staples

Introducing...

2008-04-21T20:20:00.000-07:00

Anna. Payton actually named the kit. LoL. She picked out a lot of the things in it too. When I asked her what she thought we should name it, she said "Anna". And I thought it fit, so it stuck.

Sorry that it's a month late, but better late than never I guess? :)

Anna includes:

7 sheets of PP (including Jenni Bowlin, sei, Basic Grey and Scenic Route)

2 pages from a vintage children's book

Cardstock alpha stickers (The Paper Studio)

Label stickers (Scenic Route)

2 pieces of fabric

Notecard

1 sheet Stickeroni stickers

Assorted Buttons (big surprise there, huh?)

Mini Coasters (sei)

1 tag from Elle's Studio

Blue Sequin Trim

Green ribbon with white polkadots

Brown PomPom fringe

Anyhoo, hope that you guys like everything! The kits will be going out on Wednesday or Thursday of this week. Can 't wait to see what you all come up with!

P.S. If you haven't checked out the previous post from J, please do!

the little light bulb

2008-04-20T12:05:00.001-07:00

...just went off (or on?) in my head. thanks heidi joe for turning it on for me.

you said project and I say....ATC swap.

how does that sound? a girlah ATC swap. they're simple and easy and quick to do. we'd only have to make 7, instead of 15 or 30. and even I can handle that.

not sure what the theme would be. not sure that we'd even need to have one. I say just make 7 of the same card, send them to me, and I'll divide and send them back out. sounds simple enough yes?

so let me know what you all think.

i'm in if you are.

hey ladies!!!

2008-04-18T19:24:00.000-07:00

so how it be going?

I be at work, with tired achey legs and a grumbling tummy (due to the fact that I only ate half my lunch), so ready for it to be 9:01pm.

what be your plans for the weekend? or next week? or the rest of the month?

hope all is well...feel a little discombobulated from the rest of you all.

check in soon...

smooches!

H to the appy, B to the irthday to H to the eidi!!

2008-03-22T09:28:00.000-07:00

did you all follow that one?

anyhow we, the Girlahs of http://www.thegirlahs.blogspot.com/, would like to wish you, Heidi of Tulsa, OK, a very very happy birthday!!

and because of your recent move into a home, we are celebrating by giving you some home decorating ideas! straight from the pages of Martha Stewart, Real Simple, and Better Homes and Garden (amongst others), we hope to inspire you to create a place for you and the Mister to lay your heads.

but since I, Jamie of Orange County, CA am not home, I leave you with a flower from my mom's garden. and I have no clue what sort of flower it is. but it's pink with green leaves and I know you like those colors. and there are some pink and green scrubbies in your future too.

love ya and have a super dee duper day!

Hi My Girlahs

2008-03-17T11:25:00.000-07:00

Just wanted to update on the March kits. I'm thinking there gonna be more like April kits. LoL. With the eye surgery, I just haven't been able to do much these last few weeks. I'm finally driving which means I'll be able to start leaving the house a little more. Some days they are still pretty blurry, so it's kind of a toss up as to whether I can drive day to day. I have ideas in mind, it's just to actually get out and get them done. I'm hoping to be able to do that soon. Hope you all are doing well. Happy St. Patrick's Day to you! :)

Happy Birthday, mR!!

2008-02-28T05:29:00.000-08:00

Lots of love to you on your special day... Jamie also said it's your anniversary too, so double happy for you!

We all pulled out our best recycledfunkthrift coolness for you today since you are the queen of recycledfunkthrift!

Hope you have a fun and adventurous day, girlah. You are super good at that! =D.

p.s. oh yeah I almost forgot mine is here.

2008-01-09T16:11:00.000-08:00

so i made this little daily using pieces from Heidi's.
That fabric homemade flower has been in the back of my mind for weeks now and she needed attention.
More to come soon, i promise.

Do your girlah kits need love today too?

just a few more...

2007-12-20T08:03:00.000-08:00

Heidi beat me to it, but you can never have enough pictures of love, can you??

congrats to the soon-to-be Garcias, it's going to be a magical day!!

we uh-lovah-you-ah-lotsa!!

Today's the day!

2007-12-20T05:32:00.000-08:00

Best wishes to you, Deebs, and the G on your wedding day! Hope your day is super fun and filled with lots of loooooove.

no rhyme or reason

2007-12-18T08:44:00.000-08:00

so it's about that time, my Girlahs, for the next kit to show itself!! one little Girlah already got hers (cheapy me wanted to save on postage) but hasn't been sworn to secrecy or anything.

so I sit here and wrestle with sneak peek or full reveal? with the holidays coming up, will I remember to post? and since I really want to get it to you by January 1st, full reveal sort of makes sense. and can't forget that it's holiday mailing season, you just might get it in time for next year.

so here it is, no rhyme or reason:

contents:

5 sheets of patterned paper (7Gypsies, Scenic Route, Fancy Pants, Anna Griffin)
2 sheets of cardstock (olive green, white)
1 large file folder
Knock Knock stuff: 1 sheet of Note to Self paper, 6 different designs of sticky notes (Heidi already gave us some in her kit...so you get more!)
2 Waste Not Paper envelopes
vintage B&W gift coupons/tickets
red and white labels - 4 different sizes
1 set of Maya Road chipboard people
6 self-adhesive felt flowers from the Target $1 spot
1 Autumn Leaves clear stamp - swirl
1 set of 5"x3" monthly dividers (perfect for a year-long mini!!)
1 yard of brown sequin ribbon
1 small brown vinyl "suitcase" for all your embellishments

if everything goes right, these should be in the mail sometime before the end of this week. Hope you all have a super duper Christmas and a swell start to the New Year!!

muah!!

It's a Birthday Party for our Lovely Amber!

2007-12-03T07:29:00.000-08:00

Happy Birthday Amber!
You are the Queen of Buttons & *Bling*, so we are going to pretty up

We'll be linking them up over @ SiStv.
Hope your day is marvelous sweets!

2007-10-29T20:26:00.000-07:00

Here's a pic of some of the stuff going into November's kit... which I think should be named Dottie... since almost everything I picked had some sort of dot motif working. And because of Dottie in Pee Wee's Big Adventure... "I'm a loner, Dottie. A rebel." I think I was kind of rebelling from all the fall colors right now and going back to brights for a bit.

Still waiting on a few finishing touches... hope to have these mailed out within the first week of November or so...

So, girlahs... you likey? Hope so! Full reveal next week!

Happy Birthday Deanna!!!

2007-10-15T09:55:00.000-07:00

all of us Girlahs wanted to wish you the biggest birthday wish one could ever have!!

and to celebrate your upcoming nuptials, us married women are sharing a bit of wedding know-how with you...

lots of Girlah love heading your way!!

Girlah Kit creations

2007-10-14T21:22:00.000-07:00

I found some time this past week to play with Bonita...and I like what I made!! you can't really see the background paper because it's white, but I love how things turned out.

ARadd, I almost called to ask if you could stamp me a few more leaves, but I think I managed to make it work.

need to play more, but time will be slim pickings this week...Heidi are you getting Girlah kit #2 together??

gosh this is fun!

Hello? Is it me you're looking for?

2007-10-09T18:47:00.000-07:00

It's me, Lionel Richie here... taking a break from Dancing on the Ceiling to post a message for Heidi. She said she's too busy playing with Bonita to come and blog... I knew a Bonita once... she sang back up for me on my "Say You Say Me" tour of '85.

I'm hoping that you will all be able to take a break from your Bonita Kit play time and send in your precious dollars so Heidi can do some shopping for November... (We're already a third of the way into October!)

She has few things already, but she says she's itching to get more so she can give you a sneak peek. Is October 20th an okay date to send in your $$ ? Post a comment to chime in.

Soon you'll be scrapping all night long... all night.

Muy Bonita Senorita!!

2007-10-02T22:43:00.000-07:00

alright girlahs....now that we have our very first girlah kit in our scrappy little hands, I think it's time to start creating!

ARadd and I were discussing and we figured we should aim to have something posted in the next month or so. Definitely before the arrival of the next kit...can you believe November is next month?!?!

so I know between moving and kiddos and getting married and life in general, it's gonna be busy busy for all of us so do what you possibly can. even if it's one little tag, go for it!

Alex, you did an awesome job putting the premiere kit together. I think if we work our magic with it, the rest of the scrappy world will be j-e-a-l-o-u-s that they don't have one too!

Um, Hello?? Hello??

2007-10-02T19:41:00.000-07:00

Did you girlahs get the November CK issue? Well if and when you do, turn to page 112. I was just thumbing through today and run across the adorable little Mia. On an ad for October Afternoon. I was all excited. LoL.

Hope everyone's having a fab day. Cannot wait to see what you all do with the fab Bonita kit a la aH.

ta-DA! meet BONITA

2007-09-28T14:02:00.000-07:00

We're having a little garden party for you today... Aidan kind of started it for us last week!

We're all posting Happy Birthday flowery messages to you in the galleries online today! Look for links in the comments.

Hope you have a fun birthday!

Lots of love,

The Girlahs

*Edited to add that I don't know why this is posting Tuesday 9/4 in the title? We did get the day right! Maybe it has something to do with Deebs being on Maui time. Hmmm...

PEEKY BOO!

2007-09-02T19:30:00.000-07:00

here's a peeky.
super girly.
super fun.
& perfectly GIRLAH.
i can see everyone stylin' these goods out to the MAX.

FULL REVEAL to come when i ship these bad-girlahs out!

sneaky peeky?

2007-09-01T05:48:00.001-07:00

so come on Alex....share a little love with us.

purty please!

Whoa!

2007-08-15T18:37:00.001-07:00

We look hot. -------------------------->

Just sayin'.

Hello, Operator?

2007-08-06T09:56:00.000-07:00

Hook me up with the girlahs on line 4, please.

Okay, so... round 2 of the Girlah Wonderphone call was super rad... we ran out of trees so we couldn't call Jamie. But we weren't sure if she was on an airplane or not. And Deebs sent her regrets via email... stuck at a party. Aww, nuts.

Next time, though... mG volunteered her hubby's conference line so we can all call in with a pin code and get it hooked up all corporate-style. YAY!

Lots of shop talk, too....some new fun ideas for us... New Circle Journal topic for Fall and also a fun kind of "kit club" deal that will be insane and crazy, the good kind. And maybe, just maybe some sort of Girlah convention next February/March? Can you handle it? Stay tuned...

so check this

Hello Kitty has a credit card.
how stinkin' cute is this?
I hope I don't get anyone in trouble by showing this, all we need is another CC right?

but you get a change purse when you apply?!?!

I'm browsing through www.sanrio.com right now, cuz I'm just silly like that.

I have no idea what you are talking about.

2007-07-14T15:48:00.001-07:00

H.K.A.

2007-07-13T22:12:00.001-07:00

Hello Kitty Anonymous.
I need to go. Cuz ever since Heidi breathed the words "hello kitty happy meal" I've been there 3 times between Tuesday and Thursday.
Thanks Bo, you're the best.
now are you going to be joining me?? I can't do it alone.

(those are the sticker kit, the style kit and the school kit. you know there are a few more that I don't have...)

mmmmmmmmmmmmm. like the caveman.

2007-07-11T05:53:00.000-07:00

isn't this crazy?
i have not seen someone knaw on a turkey leg ever.
i am such a nerd because i had to get it on film.
i pretended to be taking a photo of Olivia and then zoomed up on this.
perfect timing as he is sizing it up and about to conquer that bad boy.

random i know, but it has been way too long since this bloggy has been updated.
so...
the meetup?
the photoswap?
sprinkles?

how is the summer going for you all?

CJ Check in

2007-06-22T20:35:00.000-07:00

Hi ladies!!

just wanted to do a CJ check-in, to see who has who's and on and on.
I just realized that Amy and Linda may not necessarily check here, but on the off chance that they do...let us know if you gals have one!

Alex, I just sent you Amber's....mailed it Wednesday the 20th, so it should show up in your post pretty soon!!

mini.g's

2007-06-15T11:23:00.000-07:00

why didn't we think of this before?

Amber posted a page about Payton and Alex mentions "mini-girlahs"...and I thought that was genious.

we certainly DO have mini-girlahs in our midst...Olivia, Payton and Mia!!

I think we should run with that somehow...someway...

I might need to have one soon...

Can you dig it?

2007-06-11T10:45:00.001-07:00

Holy crap. The sweetest person ever. The cutest kids ever. The funnest time you've ever had eating cupcakes ever. And dang, the best shopping ever, too. She's so much fun, you guys. For reals.

(I'll put up some more pics later. )

it's already happening

2007-06-07T10:11:00.000-07:00

the Girlahs are slowly reuniting..

I just got off the cellie with mR...she's at the Great American Scrapbook Expo in Dallas, and saw Kah-Mei. Thanks mR for doing the interrogation about the FW newsletter. I'm sure we're all still waiting...

mR says Miss Heidi may be driving down to meet up with her!!

How frickin' cool is this??

Ok...

2007-06-01T08:10:00.000-07:00

Is it just me or are we the slowest swappers ever? LoL. Just kidding. I was just checking in to see if anyone's done the photo swap yet? I had forgotten all about it. Just remembered last night. I've been scrapping like crazy, but forgot about the swap. :( Need to get cranking on it! Have a fab weekend girlahs!

Wooooo-Who, Yeeeee-Who.

2007-05-23T02:56:00.000-07:00

2007-04-13T17:15:00.000-07:00

Hi Ladies!!!
kokopuffs here...just checkin' in.

how them journals coming along? I just sent two off a while back, waiting for the next one to come my way.

So are you all doing anything special this weekend??

let's ketchup!!! (thanks D for that catchphrase :) )

photo swap time?

2007-04-05T00:22:00.000-07:00

so i have to admit that for the past few weeks i have kinda been in a scrap rut.
i even ordered some new goodies and no luck either.
so i thought maybe to get going again we could all do a photo swap.
fresh faces to work with ya know?
not sure what would be the best way to divide up, but maybe a random drawing or something?
what do you girls think?!?

How's things??

2007-04-01T10:09:00.000-07:00

I feel like ever since 2peas shut down for a little bit there, and our thread went missing, we haven't been in touch! So let's check in...

I hope everyone is having a great spring so far... the weather here has been super pretty lately. Lots of birdies chirping and pink blooms and green grass growing.

Also I wanted to say thanks for all my fun b'day LOs and such... mR, yours came last week and it's been on my mantel. Thanks for the goodies, too. You are all so totally RAD I can't even stand it. WHOA.

Anyway... let's hang! What's new? Are the CJs still circulating? Old and new?

~Heidi

Happy Birthday Heidi!!!

2007-03-22T14:52:00.000-07:00

Hope 30 is your best year yet!

me too me too!!

2007-03-13T12:35:00.000-07:00

I couldn't figure out how to make an album here on blogger, and Heidi's slide show seemed too daunting for me to try.

so I have mine posted over on my blog in an album on the sidebar or in today's post.

it's amazing girlahs. amazing. I'm gonna tote it around with me like a little pet.

I got my journal back... hey-oh! Listen what I say-oh.

2007-03-12T20:46:00.000-07:00

P.S. If you hold the cursor over the photos and then click, you can see who made what!

My Girlahs...

2007-03-07T08:15:00.000-08:00

Hope you have a rockin' day.
Love, Us.

crazy

2007-02-26T19:17:00.000-08:00

that's how I look in this picture. but never mind the crazy lady, take a look at the goodness that mG sent me?? a Sassafras t-shirt from CHA (it fits perfectly too!), some wedding related MM goods and the fabuloso book Show & Tell from MM. I kept flipping back and forth between pages because I wanted to see everything all at once. But seriously, there isn't one page better than the other. Tomorrow, I'll have to sit down and force myself to look at each page one by one. and mG? your creations are perfect. Aidan...that face just makes you smile. it's awesome for sure.

too much excitement for me for one day. I think I'm ready for bed and it's only 7:22pm.

Let's Give...

2007-02-25T00:40:00.000-08:00

a huge flippin' round of applause to..........
The Jamison for creating our beautifullest banner.

a challenge

2007-02-22T17:41:00.000-08:00

Hi Ladies!!
so...with all this new CHA stuff coming out and the urge to buy everything in sight growing, I wanna challenge ya'll.

I've been scrapping up a storm over here and I'm in such a frenzy to use all the new stuff that I've forgotten about the old.

do re me fa SOOoo, I challenge you to use the old with the new. Come on, you all know you have stuff that you bought before CHA that has yet to be used on something. So use it. I'd put you on spending probation until you do so, but that's not really possible.

go on, get funky.

on its way, I swear

2007-02-21T21:50:00.000-08:00

I know I volunteered to do the banner...and I swear to you all it's coming. I've just been wrapped up in getting a few more layouts done for Oasis and dealing with work crap and trying to get more wedding stuff done. But I will for sure get to it in the next few days. This blog of ours needs some pretty-ing up.

Just curious...

2007-02-19T15:52:00.000-08:00

I am getting ready to mail out the last two CJs (from round 1) I have tomorrow, and I was thinking it might be fun if we posted them somewhere once we get our own back. I want to see what everyone else did, know what I mean? Like I really never got to see what MR did in anyone's because I always mailed to her. Or I would love to see how A-Radd's and MG's turned out since they were kind of portfolio-y.

Any thoughts? Maybe we could post them in the gallery at Two Peas? Any other cool slide websites? I know the people that use Typepad can use the "album" thingy...

Hope you all are having a great Monday!

Love for the ARadd!

2007-02-16T19:38:00.000-08:00

Ohh. My. Cow. I got this extremely love filled VDay pkg in the mail today from the super coolness awesome girlah ARadd. Thank you thank you thank you for alllllll the goodies. And a whole lot of them there were.

Oh, but the kicker? The skulls folder? No, that was great, but there was more. The lemonheads lunchbox with MORE goodies? No, that was great too, but there was more. The AC thickers / Maya Road chipboard albums / letter D? No, those were all so great too. How about My Music Montage CD. Yeah. She maxed that bad boy out with like 20 songs some of which included o.g. Madonna, Skee Lo, +44 (yeah, I know!!) Imogen Heap, Beastie Boys, //tons more// and ended with Ice Ice Baby. Muwahahaha.

Thanks Alex, love yah ;)

woot!

2007-02-16T09:53:00.000-08:00

Amber love and a RAK

2007-02-15T11:43:00.000-08:00

Hey, girlahs! OK, here's the love I got from Amber. Inside the cute felt box was the KI valentine chipboard. I had been wanting these but I never bought them! I couldn't believe it when I saw them! There are the little puffy hearts, ribbons, flowers, the toile fabric, an M, and lots of wonderful, wonderful felt! And look at the cute little card she made. A is for Amber and it's also for awesome! Thank you!!!!

OH, and I got my copies of the Show and Tell book from Making Memories so I'm going to do the first official RAK here on our bloggy! Between 1 - 139, guess the page number that my first lo is on. Whoever's closest wins a copy of the book (and a little something extra thrown in :D)! Just post your guess in the comments.

I'm off to watch All My Children now!

go on, get fab

2007-02-13T00:02:00.000-08:00
