Ok going to attempt to catch up on layouts here. I am horrible about posting them here. i do not know why.
Need a little ipod inspiration to help you get started do a job that is going to take you forever but you have to tackle? Go download "I believe in a thing called love" by the darkness. TOTAL laundry music. Even makes scooping kitty poop go faster!!!

Anyways without further ado(I think i abuse that phrase):
oh perfect this one loaded twice. DANG blogger. OK i cant complain it is free and it gets the job done. This is using Kimberly Giarrusso's forthcoming AMAZE kit. It is amazing indeed. The layout is of my sissy's car after her accident. I look at it and think about that nite and realize - life is too short to get caught up in petty stuff. Just live. Grab hold of life and ride it!!! YYYYEEEEEEE Hawwwwwww.....

I swear to you this child is growing before my eyes. I have to think REAL hard about what life was like when SHE was my baby, not karissa. They are so alike in so many ways, i feel like I am living the same year over and over again, like the movie Groundhog's Day. This kid can make me laugh SO hard. She is just a goof. SO grown up though. VERY into stick on earrings and having her nails painted. We went today to get REAL tap shoes and REAL ballet slippers for class. This kid better start making me some money SOON or i am gonna go broke!!! love her to death. just wanna squish her back up into my baby sometimes. But i love seeing the little girl she is becoming.
Oh credits - flower and quote from Jen Wilson's Dress Up Princess kit.


I did this one a few weeks back, but it got quickly buried in the gallery and I just loved it. So i thought i would subject you all to it again. This uses elements from the magnanimous Gina Miller's Sugar Ville kit, her velvet stitched alpha and her Decorative Edges. Oh and the beautiful bloom flowers on the file tabs.
Karissa has definitely entered the phase of the terrible two's. Kealey did this too - turned two at 18 months. Then was pretty good the last few months of being two. but holy COW could I sell karissa to the highest bidder some days. She is a crack up. She is my little clone. Thank God she has more of her daddy's personality to her though! When she is sweet, she is VERY VERY sweet. that is the part that is Ben. When she is in a mood though - WHOOO boy can that child pitch a FIT!!! It actually usually makes me laugh cause it is SOOOOOO dramatic. I am sure the other people in McDonalds or Target being subjected to the meltdown don't find it so humorous, but I gotta tell ya - when this kid starts screaming - it is either laugh or well....some of you moms have been there. You know what i'm talkin'bout.
There is one more layout I wanted to share - my circle journal layout about turning 30. But I gotta resize it. Didn't realize i hadn't sized that one for posting. So check back later.

Thank you to those of you who faithfully comment and read here - you may never know how much it brightens my day to hear from you!!!! Hugs to you all - wherever and whoever you are!

I gotta do the latest Egger Challenge too - the joy list. So YAY even more for you all to look forward to!
Have a wonderful evening. CAn't wait for those horrific American Idol tryouts tomorrow nite. That is like watchin a train wreck!!! But i love it anyways!
