Happy August!!! It is so hard to believe...August 2nd!! Wow!!! I love August, it is such a full month for me. Boo's birthday, Mom's birthday, my birthday and our anniversary! Wahoo!! This is the month to celebrate!! Fun stuff!! I wonder if i should make a mini book for this month...hmmmmmmm. Speaking of scrapbooking I signed up for another class and will be attending it in a few hours. I hope it is as fun as the last one (smile...i am still needing to get some b&w prints so I can "finish" it).

Hot...Hot...Hot!!! Ohhh Mylanta!!! it is going on twenty-something days of 90+ degrees!! Wow you talk about a heatwave!!! We are soooo having one. Today is is suppose to hit the 100's!!! Wow!! Yesterday it was 104 degrees. Wow!!! I am so glad I work nights...it allows me to sleep during the day and avoid some of the heat!! Whew!!! A heatwave...we are having a heatwave!!!

My acrylic class was fun and I can't wait to put the pictures in so I can enjoy the book! I learned some things and was able to use some new products (wahoo!!! I did not purchase anything!! tehehehehe).

I wanted to post a few pics...the first are from a challenge about what is in my fridge right now, the last one was when hunny bunny had his horrible eye allergy...

The front of our refrigerator...

Cheese, Pace picante (Boo and I love hot and hunny bunny and Gigi love medium) and yogurt...what more could a family ask for...teeehehehehehe

Poor hunny bunny.....and it became more swollen as the days went by...

It's one of my "cool" days but not really "cool". To be honest it is freakin' HOT!!! It has been in the high high high 90's and man oh man is it hot!!! I sooo love the son but the heat that comes with it...yucko!!! It's that kind of heat where you don't want to move because movement causes friction which causes heat!!! YUCKO!!! WE bought ice so we can have cold ice water and that is real good on two counts...1/keeps your body cooler and 2/I NEED MORE H2O!!! Hopefully this will get me back in the habit of drinking water.

Last night was awesome...I was getting ready for work and I see these 2 huge boxes from...yiu guessed it!!! HSN!! Wahoo! My order came in!! Well..I did not have time to open it but I was excited! I was to tired this morning so I left it for this afternoon and WAHOO!!! Lot's of fun stuff!!! (I will post them later!!). It made my week (especially after the disappointment on Monday with QVC (what was with that???). I also received my 2Peas box on Friday (you talk about fast!! I ordered it on Wednesday night!!) and there were lots of goodies in there too!!! Yippee!!! and I have a scrapbook class tomorrow at Archivers!! Wahoo!! Scrapbook heaven is where I am right now (pictures to come!).

I signed up for the incredible Christmas Journal with Shimelle. It has been fun and challenging!!! I am not use to doing lots and lots of journaling so this is taking a little longest than I thought (i now know how much easier it is to put pictures on a lo and boom! it's done!!...it's the journaling that is the challenge for me!!!). Sooooooo...this has been doubly good forme! I decided to use Basic Grey (LOVE THEM!!!) for this projects and I am using 6x12 paper (love it!!). Here are my first 2 entries...

2 Peas Today's challenge~
Share with us one technique you find your self using on layouts over and over again....

I LOVE to ink my pages (i cannot tell you how many shirts i have ruined because i get so involved with the process...ink goes everywhere!!). I have to stop myself from inking EVERYTHING!!!

speaking of ink, i went to the Scrap Expo on Saturday and they had a vendor who sold so many vintage items (including 7 Gypsies). She had over 50 colors in stamping inks and sprays (I did not know about sprays!!). I tell you i was in heaven. It was fun to look at everything and see all the wonderful ideas! Anyway...she had the cutes vintage stickers, papers and door knobs for books!!! It was awesome. I was disappointed with most of the EXPO, but this vendor made up for it!!!
