Day 11!!!!


Still not smoking. I really feel like i have officially quit now!!!! Ok so this weekend was a crazy 48 hr National scrapbook day blur!!! I had soooooo much fun. Just a quick post of my NSD round the world robin LO which i am totally in love with. It uses the SIS collection trendsetter. Im not so big on purple but this purple totally made me swoon(thanks jenn for getting me the collection!)The journaling says I need to learn to step back and breathe in life. Stop freaking out. Its not worth the stress. Just breathe. When ever i finish editing my pic there will be one one there too :) OMG i would also like to point out that i am retarded. I have been wondering why my blog pics were so much smaller then everyone else's..........Hello, There is an option to make them bigger. Im slow and special and all that. Ok enough for today. Tomorrow i will post pics from NSD at the Scrapbook Barn when I finish the kits for my Class. Still time to sign up if you live around dallas and wanna take my first ever class!!! Nite bloggers.

Its all Sassafras lass and I super love it :) The journaling is crappy cus it was like 5 am by the time i got to that part LOL. He is my hero and I love him, couldn't imagine life with out him!!! He has made my non smoking experience so much better. I love that we can laugh and joke even during crappy times. Ok I still havent smoked :) very excited about that.

2 am Challenge


Jenn was over last night and She challenged me to make a 15 min layout with these rules: Polka dots, Yellow, and a stamp......Easy right? Not so much. All of my scrap stuff was in my car from a crop this weekend, so this LO was made with no adhesive, no paper trimmer, no nothin LOL. The only thing i changed was adding the black to the journaling cus it didnt show up in the pics. The pic is of my little sister who has really been on my mind lately so i figured i would scrap her! The title is from OLW #25 it was very fitting :) Hope you like it.

Im alive...........well kinda?


Ok day 2 is going a little better. 36 hours into it and i don't feel so bad actually. Yesterday was a little stressful. I dint realize how often I actually thought about smoking. Do this followed by smoking do this smoke. smoke smoke smoke. LOL I Feel pretty good so I am sure I will never smoke again!!! On to more crafty measures the pic is a piece of fabric(Who knows what kind??? Not me!! I dont claim to sew i just pick out whats pretty. Its sorta like canvas but not so much) that I gessoed and painted and stuff. Its 6x6 and I super love it. Its a mix of Journal Revolution and Donna Downey. style i guess. I need to finish the other one so I can mail it off to its recipient! Have a good day guys I gotta get ready for work......Hopefully no one is mean to me. I am a little short fused :)

Good news, and even better news!





We got just back from Grandpa and Grandmas. Tuesday was my Grandpa's 81st birthday, so Jeff and I took a three day trip down to see them. The shadow box was my present to him, and I think he really enjoyed it. The letter I put in it was wonderful, if I do say so myself( If you click on the pic you can read it....beware you might cry). I didn't cry when I read it to him like I usually do :) The better news is as of today I am a non smoker. No more icky smelly smoky Bree!!! I'm writing it on here so hopefully I will stick with it. I think I'm really ready this time, and the patch is kinda helping I guess. I'm eating carrots and chewing gum(not at the same time) so i don't gain a bunch of weight(I HOPE). I am so hot I feel like its a hundred degrees in my house, and I cant think straight. This post is like broken English lol. Ok I'm going to go finish laundry. Hopefully my post tomorrow will be a little clearer :)
