i just dug around on my laptop for about 15 minutes … trying to find something to share with you. you'd almost think i havn't been scrapping much lately. but i have … more than ever, in fact. but nothing that i can share with you yet … so mean, right?!?! i did find this card … and i think it's all good if i share.

Friends_forever_card  

i actually made this (along with about 12 other cards) for a magazine call about a month ago. it was for super quick cards … as in "the-less-steps-the-better". so that is why it's fairly basic. then again, when i typed up the instructions to submit it … it had a ton of steps to it. lol! so maybe it's not that quick. whatever. and how cute are the little glittered women … like the ones on the bathroom doors! those are some new making memories 12 inch border strips i found at michaels a while back.

so really … that's all i've got for you. hopefully, i'll have some stuff to share soon. i have a tush-load of projects to finish up … that i'm a little worried i'm not going to get done in time. i have a few cards to write up and get ready to mail off tomorrow … almost forgot about those. i have a few goodie packages to mail off … i've never taken this long to mail things out.

and tomorrow is sarah's birthday!!! my baby will be 9 years old in the morning! i still have her present hidden away … something that has to be charged still and loaded up with tunes and videos (can you figure that one out?). and a few other small gifts that i've shoved in strange places and will have to track down. there's a party on saturday … nothing big, just a few friends from her class coming over to hang out and play water games and bbq. and a sleepover … just 2 or 3 girls i think … with a special movie viewing scheduled at uncle scott's impressive home theater down the street! and none of this has actually been given much thought yet … so i have to do that tomorrow sometime! wish me luck!!!

    Happy Birthday, Sarah! My Allison will be 15 on 6/22. She is getting a new softball bat…a super expensive softball bat. We’ll probably take her out to dinner, but that’s about it.
    Cute card, Laura! Love the little women.

    Laura: I love this card. So much, in fact that I had to run out to see if my Michaels had any of those border strips. I had never seen them before but lucked out and they were there. So cute!
    Sounds like you had a great birthday bash for Sarah!
