Each person should judge his own actions and not compare himself with others. Then he can be proud for what he himself has done. Galatians 6:4

My Seven Random Facts

1) I love to sleep.. yet hate sleeping in...I like to rise early.. start my day

2) I looked in my attic for the first time since I bought my home in 2000 just two weeks ago. I'm sorry to say.. there are no millions hiding up there... sighhhh

3) My family calls me a walking IPOD/ MP3 Player.....

4) I pick up EVERY single penny I see on the ground/floor.. doesn't matter where we are... a penny saved.. is a .... When I was a little girl my grandparents lived next to a speedway.. and gram would take us down there to hunt for pennies... I had a BLAST!

5) I am in desperate need of underwear.. I had a breast reduction in 2006 and since then have only bought one bra.. someone told me that I would become OBSESSED with buying them.. not my case.. I love the halter tops with the built in bras!

6) I had my legs stripped of varicose veins.. that hurt worse than my breast reduction.. and bruised where my reduction did not.. Go figure...

7) I am going to try and grow a pumpkin this year in the shape of Mickey Mouse Ears.. just for giggles!!

Ok... those are not to exciting... but they're the ones that are on top of my mind right now!! LOL LOL!!

NOW... I always talk about being a scrapbooker... but I don't think I have ever shared a layout that I have done... so today.. ALONG WITH TAM I am going to post one... My skills in photographing my layout is lacking.. but I'm going to share anyway!

My Jouranling says

Dad:"You're going to have to learn how to be a dad someday"

Son: "I already know how to be a dad!"

Dad:"Oh yeah, how?"

Son: "Easy! Mom yells at the dad and then the dad gets to yell at the kids to do the job"

YIKES!

This is what I'm reading Now.. I have never read anything by this Author so I thought I would give it a shot.. This book takes place, yet again in the heart of the Depression. It has many great reviews throughout the book by many authors that I know and love... so I'll let you know what I think.. I'm in about three chapters.. and It hasn't "grabbed" me yet.

OOOO LA LA your layout is soo soo good! I have not had a chance to post one yet!!! We are having a bad day...by 2 yr old is having a hard week and has cried all week at anything and everything! From eating to just breathing air he will start crying! I can not figure it out save my life but then with this little guy it could be anything at all. He has tons of food allergies sooo something he ate may have him feeling just icky...plus he is having an outbreak of his eczema...ugg so hopefully I can grab one and take a pic and post it probabbly sometime in the wee morning hours!!! lol wish me luck

Tam said...

OK Ladybug....I answered your challenge,....ugg..r u smiling because Roxy could not even get me to post one....Kuddos to you and O a box of mini cream puffs!!!

Heather said...

Cute layout! I love the journaling. I also love your random about underwear. Bras and panties are my least favorite thing to shop for. I hate it for many reasons and being busty isn't one of them! Good luck in your quest!

Colleen said...

Love the layout and great list!! I hear ya on needing new underwear, but I just hate shopping!! lol

Tanja said...

That book looks good. I love it when you post what you're reading... so I can steal your ideas and go out and get a copy myself. I've been busy the last bit so I went back and caught up on reading your blog. Your Easter post really touched me. My family is so dysfunctional it gets depressing. But then I realize that I don't have to live the way my parents did. Praise God! Love the video you posted that day, too.

The Underwear thing...I just have to comment!!! The problem with buying it for me is that I am larger so all they have is what my grandmother use to wear! When I grow up I want to design...classy, sexy Large woman intimates! ONE skinny friend suggested that I visit a plus size store called torrid for some sexy intimates that my hubs might enjoy....yeah well they looked um something like a Hooker might wear on the strip! I wanted sexy but not trashy. The young girl in the store suggested that maybe a nice bra and underwear would be good. HMMM I just wanted a plus size teddie or nightie...what was I thinking! Plus their bras and panties...well nothing fitted and the panties were just a string that I could have possibly sewed together myself eventhough I don't sew! So bottom line I feel your pain about not wanting to buy intimates because it really is such a pain to find something that is comfortable, yet feminie.

I agree with Wendy....I have do not like to scrapbook with those that are that much better than me...lol Yeah me and Rox scrapped together only once in our entire friendship because she blew me out of the water with her albums!!!! They are great!!!!! I went scrapbook supply shopping with her but not to much scrapbooking!!!!! I also am a plain scrapbooker. I do not use all those fancy embellishments and ribbons...I maild those off to Rox when I get them in kits and all. I go through my stuff and get rid lots of that. I like paper, stickers, and Creative Memories Cutting system and I did I mention I love PAPER.. I have a total addiction to all the lovely papers. I have tons and tons of papers that I have never even used! HMM now that I have another buddy who is great at layouts...the next time I clean out all that I might have to split it between YOU and ROX!!! lol I worked for a company here that manufacturedd scrapbooking supplies and I have tons OOO stuff!!!! lol
