Hello Heaven.

My bff said as the boys brought us our drinks at my friend's wedding reception.

We were bridesmaids & it had been a long day.

December Challenge Masters.

I don't really have room in my one bedroom apartment for a big Christmas tree, nor do I have the storage for it for the other 11 months of the year. So I dug out my little two foot tree my aunt made me 20 years ago.

My mom said, "Can you believe you're old enough to have something that is 20 years old?!" No, I can't actually. Thanks mom.

It's still in good condition. All the ornaments & decorations will still intact. Well, they were intact from when I packed it up for the last time however many years ago. The lights even still work! I was crazy surprised when I plugged it in & they came on.

I got some pink disco ball ornaments from Hobby Lobby & some silver beads from WalMart to bring it into this decade. & it's so pretty! K makes fun of it because it's so small & he says it isn't a real tree. But it's pretty & it's mine. & it's 20 years old!

C h r i s t m a s cactus!

mini fun.

I decided to make a mini with the pics from S's bachelorette party. Moonie gave me this one in TX & I've been waiting for the perfect use. It's small & there's not much room for embellishments, especially bulky ones. I kept it simple with stickers & rub ons & a little bling because what's a bachelorette party without bling?!

time heals.

Our journaling challenge is up at Challenge Masters.

I used some song lyrics + a pic from TX.

Here's one of my challenges from the Scrap Muse crop:

[aren't we cute?]

August Scrap Muse.

(inspired by Christine's old challenge at Tally that I never got to)

We are having a crop at Scrap Muse on Saturday, August 22. There will be lots of challenges & games & prizes. I can tell you one of my challenges involves Texas & the popular notion that everything is bigger there. You'll have to come check it out!

August is here already.

I hate that summer flies by. Hate it. Especially because winter seems to laste forevvvver.
