Forever Beloved

Faith, Love & Truth

monday…monday…

normally i would totally NOT be excited about monday but tonight is the fair parade…and that rocks! as bec says, i’m such a parade whore…i love them…can’t get enough of them! maybe it’s the years i spent marching in them…how proud i was to be on the rifle squad…and wear those knee-high white boots (with cleats)…LOVED it!!! so tonight we will be hanging out at the parade with bec and the kids, shell and jen keith.

last evening we went to the fair…holy shit did their prices go up!!! i dont know how anyone would afford to go more than once, geesh. the food prices are in-freakin-sane! here is an example~

* cheese steak – $7
* 1 slice pizza – $3
* hotdog – $2
* gyro – $9
* cotton candy – $5
* candy apple – $3.75

i told you…INSANE!!!!
i haven’t had any time this weekend to scrap…which makes me sad. hopefully tomorrow night i can get some time for me to make some happy scrappies.
out for now

cathy…this sweetie was kind enough to open up her house to all of us to stay at a while back…her girls are SO super cute. and i’m totally jealous of her camera (and that janine took her family pics!)
julie…this girl has lost some serious weight and is smokin’ FREAKIN hot! i’m so proud of her, she has stuck with this like no ones business. someday we will meet girl, and the 3 of us will create art and party!!!

i so ♥ etsy!!!

so today i went on a tiny etsy shopping binge with some extra money i’ve made from my scrappies…and i bought some super cute stuff!!!!! gosh i could spend SO MUCH money over there!!! and i love that i’m supporting artists like me, trying to make it in the industry.
~i bought this, which i totally love. i got the pink/black one…totally plan on using that as a beach bag! i freakin’ love it!!! ♥
~and i bought these, how damn cute are they?!?! can totally think of tons of things to do with them! ♥
~i am so excited about this one…when i get it we are going to have some serious love scrappies time! ♥
~and lastly, these i’ve wanted for a while. i have saw them in CK lately and they are so flippin cute! ♥

this pic of the kids really makes me laugh…jade is ALWAYS trying to get a laugh out of everyone. my kids are two of the funniest kids i know…seriously, they crack me UP all the time. i’m so glad they have a good sense of humor, i think that’s totally important in life. and dang, those of you that know sissy (kristen), how much does jade remind you of her in this pic?

and how about some layout lovins for today~

it’s getting close to the weekend…and i totally have a date with my love tomorrow night!!! i so love date night. i think we are going out to dinner and then just hanging out, maybe out at camp. saturday night we will be going to the fireworks on the lake at glendale…they are GORGEOUS fireworks!!! sunday is free day at the fair so we will be going to that. and monday night is the fair parade…sounds like a FUN couple of days!!! but normally it leaves me with very little internet and scrappy time, which is sad. i’ll make up for it when it’s all over.
out for now
