<br />
It's been a few weeks since my last post I know, I know. I am just going to show case a card and envelope I made using our latest sponsor <a href="http://www.thebearyscrap.blogspot.com/">Thebearyscrap</a>! I am telling you I have never played with tear bears before, but I am getting all kinds of hooked! The images she sells range from pigs to mice, skunks and yes Bears! She even has a tutorial that breaks everything down for you step by step. <br />
Right now our blog is holding a challenge that is going on for a couple of more days, so come visit us at <a href="http://www.iftheshoefitsscrapit.blogspot.com/">Iftheshoefitsscrapit!</a><br />
<br />
Here are pics of my projects -<br />

So like I was saying in my last post, I had decided to go Au Naturale...lol. Well let me tell you, this is not easy what so ever! But, I am sticking with it, I have met quite a few people that are so knowledgeable and so willing to help me and have given me great websites and tips. My whole goal is not to cut all of my hair off, like so many. I love my length and not quite (or ever) ready to be bald. LOL! Once I get my hair in a decent hairstyyle, I will post a pic. Hopefully soon.</div>Tanishahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10768000446691188935noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7451755685998254084.post-67893537448534064072011-10-08T22:31:00.000-04:002011-10-09T01:43:58.282-04:00Where my girls at???Hello everyone,<br />
<br />
Just wanted to let you all know that we have an awesome challenge going on right now over at <a href="http://www.iftheshoefitsscrapit.blogspot.com/">The Shoe</a>. The challenge is being sponsored by <a href="http://kennykdownloads.com/">Kenny K Downloads</a>! <br />
<br />
I haven't been scrapping much for a couple of reasons. 1- getting used to three kids that all crave mommys attention at once, lol. 2- My scrap room has been looking like....well like nothing since I could barely see it for al the disarray it was in. So my mom in law and I took it for action and it is back at a 95% workable condition. I was able to whip this up with being surrounded by clutter.<br />

The meaning behind this project is this: I have decided to let my hair be natural. For those who do not know what this means, I am not going to put anymore harsh chemicals in my hair. These chemicals that used to straighten my hair. I have plenty of reasons for doing this which I will share in future post along with transition photos. This will not be an easy task, but I am willing to say that I did try and maybe encourage others that have been on the brink of trying, but could not pull themselves to do so.</div>

We had our new addition Kennedy arrive Friday the 18th at 10:00 exactly. She was 9lbs 7oz and 21 inches long. OMG, she is just a precious as she wants to be and her brother and sister are just in love with her!! </div><div> </div><div>I actually went into the hospital Thursday night to be induced and I ended up going into labor on my own with anything! So it was her time to come anyway, lol. We ended up being in the hospital for 5 days!! I was so ready to come home and sleep in my own bed. My poor baby had to go through phototherapy because her (jaundice) bilirubin levels were high. Phototherapy is where they are exposed to special ultraviolet lights until excessive bilirubin has been destryed and the liver matures enough to handle the load. It was awful having her under this thing with a blindfold on to protect her eyes, for almost two days. She cried, and I would pick her up comfort her, feed her, but then back she had to go.</div><div> </div><div>Kennedy is good now, and we have been home for a few days and she is fitting in quite well, lol.</div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> <img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 213px; height: 320px; text-align: center; display: block; cursor: hand;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5577505145035148594" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbXi0Z1Bfsp1wUsaPrtp4rzlogE5ZnOvtNv4QXCWZ1786wqAsHuF8cl1uragBwsSC9MHOV_LlEjpAun3xGyvyK40mvxeWHZ7LYdh5GuI_sG25IukLl19MCRiVyGdizBc5u7FL8vRofxEg/s320/DSC_1997.JPG" /></div><div> </div><div> </div></div></div><br /></div></div>Tanishahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10768000446691188935noreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7451755685998254084.post-26559320037898346232011-02-11T18:24:00.006-05:002011-02-11T18:40:59.054-05:00Valentines Recipe for Love<div style="text-align: center;"><b><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'courier new';">So we over at "<a href="http://iftheshoefitsscrapit.blogspot.com/">The Shoe</a>" are bringing yet another fab challenge for everyone this week.

This time for real, lol, maybe<div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>Hello everyone,<br /><br />So I have been MIA for some time now, 6 months to be exact! LOL, well all for a good reason, for those who do not<br />know I am 8 months preggo and will be expecting a baby girl on the 21st of February. I actually just started feeling better recently due to my body and pregnancy have never meshed well together, lol. But, this will certainly be my last. I feel so grateful though, that my kids will have each other. I grew up an only child and I did not want that for my son, so now he will have two sisters, lol!<br /><br />Okay enough with that. On <a href="http://www.iftheshoefitsscrapit.blogspot.com/">IFTHESHOEFITSSCRAPIT</a> we have a new challenge this week. Use Ribbon! We have a couple of samples up for you, but I know everyone will do great. <div><br /></div><div>We have a few things coming up in the near future, so keep an eye out for that post on the challenge blog as well as on my blog here!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div>I would like to thank those that have been patient with me, because being preggo at 33 is no walk in the park!!</div><div><br /></div><div>With that being said, here is my card I have created with Ribbon. </div><div><br /></div><div><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 277px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5efkLX1DG7vAU1wWE9mez_VqcvCUwglXMLlloK_tKsWSB5QLNXuRs7v21_nh3G1A57ZpT7HItwB6u8YMXoeyeDlifdbYDwFUpxhj6y-ohVGlC9RfDSgzLLPr3obdXKagHH5mXOmFrOoU/s400/Ribbon+Challenge+Card.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5560077910289514610" /></div><div><br /></div><div> The image is Dee Dee - <a href="http://www.thegreetingfarm.com">The Greeting Farm</a></div><div><br /></div><div>-Tanisha</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>Tanishahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10768000446691188935noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7451755685998254084.post-64996986948068315432010-06-20T14:00:00.004-04:002010-06-20T14:24:33.783-04:00No Title NeededHello,<br /><br />It's been a long time I know. As you know I had a short 3 month deployment, then we had a huge inspection when returned as well as a follow up to the inspection. So my once normal working hours had increased to 12+ hours at work. I have sleep apnea, so this does not make it any better, so I have been super tired and had not been able to open up a scrap anything, as much as I really wanted to. I was on a design team and just could not do anything, I was going to drop, but she got me first, lol. Made things a lot easier. Wish her blog all the best!<br /><br />So whats going on with me? My husband is finally moving down with me and the kids(after living in separate states for two years) Yay!! His job was just a lot better where he was. But, being all together will be a lot better. Plus I know he is tired of the commute every single weekend.<br /><br />Lets see...after a few weeks of neglecting our own challenge blog and months of neglecting my spot here, I finally have something to post, lol. This was a card I did with an image from <a href="http://ididitcreations.com/shop/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=1_2">Robin's Fetish Stamps.</a> It' s called <a href="http://ididitcreations.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_2&products_id=2&zenid=77b3707c37c899cb13cab02457557739">"A Little Birdie Told Me".</a> Make sure to stop by to see what other stamps she may have for your stamping fetish!<br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 345px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 500px; CURSOR: hand" border="0" alt="" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4024/4710504247_563ee34c96.jpg" /><br />Well, in closing I just ask that everyone is patient with me, lol. I will be leaving for 7 months real soon, it's going to very hard for me to be with out my family and I will be in a new job actually working on the flight deck (Very Scary). I just ask for your prayers and for my safe return. In the meantime I will try and update more often and I will definitely post before I leave for deployment. I may have to email my husband my blog post and teach him how to update for me, lol (yeah right)! Have a great week!<br /><br />XOXOXO<br />TanishaTanishahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10768000446691188935noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7451755685998254084.post-3512479947356720502010-04-13T20:22:00.002-04:002010-04-13T20:40:47.907-04:00Home Sweet HomeHey everyone!<div><br /></div><div>I finally made it home last night around 8:30, we pulled into San Diego and flew back to Virginia Beach. It was a great home coming! I was so glad to see my family, who waiting on me with a huge bouquet of yellow roses (which I know mean friendship, but are my absolute favorite).</div><div><br /></div><div>I will still not be around the of the week too much, as my hubby and I are taking a much needed vacation to the Poconos for about four days. We went a few years ago for our anniversary, and we are going this year again for the same reason, even though I missed our anniversary for being out to sea. It was April 3rd. </div><div><br /></div><div>Thank you so much Penny for the beautiful card you sent me, I will definitely have to set a trip down that way after my deployment next year! The card came right on time, because it was coming near the end and I was feeling like it was never going to end. </div><div><br /></div><div>This trip was crazy! We first set sail thinking we were just going to hit a few ports and go to California and come home. But God had other plans for us, as we were called to help the people of Haiti after the devastating earthquake. This was one of my proudest moments of being in the military. Because we were the first to respond (USS CARL VINSON) and make such a huge impact and save so many lives! So many people came together in different ways. We had people filling up tons of jugs of water as well as dropping off food and bringing people back to the ship to perform emergency surgery. </div><div><br /></div><div>After a few weeks of being out there, we set sail to Rio De Janeiro, then to Lima Peru. I will update later on those places with pictures when I can.</div><div><br /></div><div>Just wanted to let everyone know I was home safe and hope to get some scrapping done soon after spending some much needed time with my family.</div>Tanishahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10768000446691188935noreply@blogger.com11tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7451755685998254084.post-24876099101103890922010-01-11T16:01:00.002-05:002010-01-11T16:10:29.956-05:00Gone on DeploymentHello everyone,<br /><br />sorry once again it has taken me so long to update. Well, as some know, I got promoted to E-6, so with that came more responsibility. So I have been at work most of my time getting ready to leave my family for almost 3 1/2 months. :(<br /><br />If anyone would like the address of the ship I will be on, Tracey and Leslie from IF THE SHOE FITS SCRAP IT will have it. I am not sure of how well my email capabilities will be, and can't really discuss where I will be going. But will tell you about the places I got to visit when I return.<br /><br />I want to say I will miss everyone, I have had the pleasure to meet and conversate with and hope you will continue to follow me as I will pick up when I return. Hopefully I will get to update while I am out. I have only packed my copics one ink pad and some paper as far as scrapping goes, lol.

It's strange being here without my kiddos. Those that know me, know my situation. For those that have just recently started following my blog, I am in the Navy and my hubby is a civilian contractor, who commutes from Maryland to Virginia every weekend to see the kids and I. I have only driven up this way once since moving from here. So I am here taking a four day class about transitioning from Navy life to civilian life. They also teach you how to write a resume, prepare for a job interview and dressing for success. The class is also teaches you about what benefits you are entitles to when you separate. I am hoping & praying that I will have taken this class in vain and will not need these lessons for another 6 years. Waiting on test results to come back to let me know if I have made it to the next pay grade or not. If not, then these are lessons well learned.<br /><br />So I would like to recap on a few things going on and create links so they do not get lost in the in the blog pile.<br /><br />1st- Go to this great and awesome challenge blog called: <a href="http://www.iftheshoefitsscrapit.blogspot.com/">If the shoe fits...Scrap it! </a>There is a sketch challenge going on. Well...it's my sketch, lol, so I hope you enjoy and I would really love to see what you come up with. You do not have to follow it to the tee, make it your own.<br /><br />2nd- I have been invited to join this great team of women of at <a href="http://tellensplace.blogspot.com/">TELLENS PLACE. </a>The Blog once it start's on the 18th of November is sure not to disappoint! Right now my DT mate Alissa has a BLOG CANDY giveaway when we reach 100 members, so make sure you stop by <a href="http://allissa-designs.blogspot.com/">ALISSA DESIGNS CABINS</a> for details! The blog officially opens Nov. 18th.<br /><br />3rd- I would like everyone to still be aware of this woman and hear about my dealing with her and her online store. She is a convicted criminal and would be happy to provide you with the link, if you email me. I still have not received my goods from her, nor have I received a refund. It's too late for the bank to step in. Read about it here. <a href="http://lifesimpleasures-almondeyez2000.blogspot.com/2009/11/buyer-beware.html">Buyer Beware!</a><br /><br />4th- I would love for you all to check out this blog! <a href="http://essensevibezxtraz.blogspot.com/">YOU INSPIRE ME</a><br />She is really doing some positive things in our scrapping community. I think it is a great thing what Pam is doing. Such a shame she does not have many people following to get such great stories on the ladies that she interviews. Who knows you could be next to feature on her blog! Check it out and let me know what you think.<br /><br />5th- Check out <a href="http://createitgreen.blogspot.com/">Create it Green</a>, please support them, they are awesome awesome ladies scrapping earth friendly! Let em know Tanisha sent ya over to check em out!<br /><br />Okay, here is something that I was working on. I never have time to really work on anything for myself, unless it has something to do with a DT challenge. So I took some time to make a little card as well as practice my coloring at the same time. I had to prepare myself somehow for this weekend to come, lol! (Copic Certification Class) I also get to take some cool scrappy classes with my gal pals <a href="http://scrappintrackside.blogspot.com/">Tracey</a> & <a href="http://scrapadaisy.blogspot.com/">Lesley</a> in S.C.!<br /><br />So anyway, here it is. Now for those experts out there, lol, don't be too harsh on my stamp coloring techniques, lol, I am still learning. There are so many of you talented women out there. So many that are really awesome at this, I hope to among that group of women soon!<br /><br />I used: CTMH stamp set, (not the name) CTMH & Tim Holtz Ink. Copic & Bic Markers.<br /><br /></span><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2708/4102974583_c11d553798.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 500px; height: 452px;" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2708/4102974583_c11d553798.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2630/4102971205_bd38db5ba6.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 500px; height: 241px;" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2630/4102971205_bd38db5ba6.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2760/4103720966_9e0ab8fb2d.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 500px; height: 333px;" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2760/4103720966_9e0ab8fb2d.jpg" alt="" border="0" /><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-size:100%;"></span></span></a><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54487/354/3189CA55BC7DAF8522AC19A8620CE5A2.png" style="border: 0pt none ! important; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; -moz-background-clip: border; -moz-background-origin: padding; -moz-background-inline-policy: continuous;" /></a></span></span>Tanishahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10768000446691188935noreply@blogger.com11tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7451755685998254084.post-38201617943233518802009-11-12T22:05:00.013-05:002009-11-13T18:48:18.267-05:00The New New November 18th!!!<span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 102);font-size:100%;" ><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">Hey ladies, I hope everyone is having a great week so far!

I hope your week is going great so far as mine is off to a great start, my family and I are healthy and alive, what more could you ask for?<br /><br />So let me bring out my somewhat bad news and life learning experience! I am so tired of telling this story, but it is one that must be told in order to keep my fellow scrappers and crafters safe from these scammers! I however usually never make purchases off the internet, because you never know who or what type of person is on the other end, meaning the smaller businesses. But I decided to give one (WHO IS NOT POSTED ON MY BLOG) a try.<br /><br />I loved the concept this company had going and thought wow, her products seem really cool! So I made a small purchase for about 17.00 and some change, with tax and shipping totaled about 25.25. Not too much you say? Yeah, I could have filled my gas tank with it, lol, I have a small gas tank, lol!<br /><br />Well I made this purchase back on the 3rd of August, and the bank charged me on the 10th of August. She sent me a message on her ning site stating that the kit was a September kit and would ship out on the 1st, if that was all right with me, (never stating at that time stuff was missing from kit, that why it could not ship). I told her that was fine, I could wait.<br /><br />September 8th rolls around and I send her another message asking her if my kits have been shipped, I get no reply. I send another message the next day and she replies the day after with this message...and I quote.<br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">"Tanisha-</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"> IM SORRY I DIDNT GET BACK TO YOU RIGHT AWAY.THIS MONTH HAS BEEN CRAZY FOR ME-I JUST CAME BACK FROM NJ TO DROP MY SON OFF AT SCHOOL (HE DIDNT LIKE COLORADO TOO MUCH) SO HE GOING TO GO TO SCHOOL IN NJ THIS YEAR-SO IM HAVING ABIT OF WITHDRAWEL- AND TOMORROW IS THE 11TH AND I HAVE ALWAYS HAD A HARD TIME WITH THAT ONE-MY SINCEREST APOLOGIES.IM ACTUALLY WAITING FOR ONE PART OF THE KIT TO ARRIVE,ITS ON BACK ORDER AND AM EXPECTING IT TO ARRIVE HOPEFULLY BY THE END OF THIS WEEK-THE KITS ARE DEFINITELY SHIPPING NEXT WEEK.ITS BEEN KINDA UP AND DOWN WITH THE KITS THIS MONTH, NEXT MONTH WE ARE GOING TO BE INTRODUCING SMALLER SIZED KITS." (This is directly from a message she sent me in reply)</span><br /><br />Well needless to say I never got my kit. So she posted this big huge explanation post about how they were featured in this online magazine and that they generated so much business for them and that why she did not have our stuff out, but that they would ship that Friday (yeah again).<br />Well Friday came and went, another Friday came and went...I called this lady that Saturday using my husbands cell phone, while he sat there and listened to her lie to me on speaker phone! She told me that my order shipped the Wednesday before (so 5 days after she said she would send to everyone) and that I should have my stuff that Monday or Tuesday(mind you it's Saturday, lol)<br /><br />Well.......Guess what? I did not get my package. So I wrote comments asking if the stuff was going to ship, someone else added a comment, so I decided to contact her, to see what was going on on her end. She was pissed too! I added another comment, (wow, the DT deleted it) all I asked was if she could replace my missing item with something else since it was basically taking this damn special card stock that was made on mars to come in! (Not exactly in those words though).<br />She then sent us this long draw out email, you have to read it! If anyone is interested, I would be happy to forward it to you, email me and let me know, my address is up top.<br />I was told I had a store credit, added to my account, hmmm how so when my account had been deleted, showing all account history. So I make a new account, where the only thing I change is my home phone, because I had my cell on there and my new email addy. But I tried everything to get into the old account and could not. Forgot password: you just put your fist & last name name and your email addy, neither one worked, it did not know who I was!<br />I have contacted her once again on the phone(total:2x's) and she gives me this long confirmation number, that makes no sense. She says it's through USPS, and to take certain numbers out of it and that, that is the actual number..... what???? Well, you can guess that was just about as good as fan with no blades!<br />Omg!! I could go on and on.... I have saved a paper trail with this chick, on top of that<br />She is a criminal who has been arrested for credit card card fraud 4 times! Also have a link for that as well. Some gracious person was kind enough to research and find that out.<br />I have contacted the BBB and waiting to hear results back from that.<br /><br />Since I have heard she has lost a few of her DT members, some have stayed. One in particular who has really surprised me, by "not feeling comfortable" being involved. Though the owner rips people off. I have proof! More power to you and your conscious.<br /><br />Ladies, never buy from anyone you nothing nothing about unless you have good references for them such as friends, family, ie..<br />If you would like to know stores I absolutely love and have had no problems with look on my sidebar. For stores I stay clear of, email me.<br /><br /><br /> <a href="http://jeanmaries.blogspot.com/2009/10/buyer-beware.html">PLEASE READ THIS POST AS WELL</a><br /><br /><br />Hopefully I will have happy news to post tomorrow or in a few days, lol, actually I will! So make sure you come back and check and please visit some of the links on my side bar, you will not be disappointed!! Also visit this very exciting new blog coming your way with a new aspect on scrapping, for all you earth conscious gals out there. <a href="http://www.createitgreen.blogspot.com/">Create It Green </a>(Not to be confused with any other). Please show your support if you will. I believe she also has a DT call going on, so show off your stuff! I have news on other blog openings as well, so stay tuned....<br /><br />Tanisha~xoxo<br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>Tanishahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10768000446691188935noreply@blogger.com14tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7451755685998254084.post-39710439780399434562009-10-23T04:00:00.001-04:002009-10-23T06:06:35.859-04:00What a week, what a week! Long Post, grab coffee!Omg! I tell you I have had the longest week ever! Everytime I felt I wanted to update my blog, I could feel the energy just drain from my body! I have so much I want to do in my head, but, when I think I have mustered up enough strength to do it, it fizzles out with the quickness. My body tells my head, "just lay down and go to sleep for awhile"! <div><br /><div>Well anyway, I some very awesome news that I just have to share!! You know I have been posted my "bootleg" coloring, well I just wasn't too happy with it, but I understood you had to start somewhere. Soooo, I went to you tube, and various blogs looking for some instruction. Well, I stumbled upon the <a href="http://inkyheart.typepad.com/weblog/">Sally Lynn's Blog</a> and noticed she dates, dates for Copic Certification Classes! OMG! Well, I got a little discouraged, because I read that not everyone who applied would get in and that only, store owners, employees, CTMH or Stampin Up, etc..., even the freakin media, would be able to get before I. Well, after to speaking to <a href="http://scrapadaisy.blogspot.com/">Leslie</a>, because it is being hosted in her home city, and at her local scrap booking store, I would give it a try. Well, I did not even get my hopes up high, but, it was a great feeling when I received that email saying my application had been accepted. So now, I wait, lol!! Plus on top of that, I get to take three great classes the day before that, with two of the bestest (yeah I said bestest, lol) friends I could ever ask for!! This time Tracey and I will travel down to Les, so she gets a break this time, lol!</div><br /><div>Whew...okay, you may have noticed that I added a few banners on my side bar. Well it wasn't just for my health, you need to check them out seriously! Michelle of ThePixieCottage, Wendy of Digital Doodling & Karla of Karla Dudley Designs! These woman are so very friendly and sweet like you would not believe. When I first started blogging, I did not think it was possible to meet the people I have crossed paths with on here, because of earlier experiences, but I have met so many great people on here, with warm hearts and just plain funny as I don't know what! </div><br /><div>So, our challenge blog has been doing extremely well, these past couple of months, I really encourage you, if you have not already to mosey on over there and check it out!

He commutes every weekend from Maryland to see us, because of his job, it's hard but we manage. I only see him weekends, holidays and any vacations we may have. We have been doing this for about a year, so far we have not fell apart yet. I try to scrap during the week, so all my time is with him on the weekend, but between work, tae kwon do, working out, and other odds and ends on the weekday it gets so hard, lol! But I manage. So I am too happy when I am able to get stuff done, that is not our challenge blog (<a href="http://iftheshoefitsscrapit.blogspot.com/">iftheshoefitsscrapit</a>) related!<br /><br /><div><div><div><div><div><div>I want to say congrats and ask if you can please stop by <a href="http://essensevibez.blogspot.com/2009/10/ive-been-published.html">Essensevibez</a> page and congratulate her on getting published!!

It's called Christmas Belle, and she is just adorable! I still don't think I did her justice, because of my lack of markers, lol, but I think I didn't do too shabby. I know some of you out there are killers with the copics, so go easy on me! Make you drop by Wendy's blog as well (Digital Doodling) you won't be disappointed! </div><br /><div>With that said, once again, I am late to bed, and I have wayyyyy early to rise, lol!

(Sarah Kay)So I was able to steal my laptop long enough to post this card, lol, and I am still being rushed to hurry up because we do need to go to the store, lol. So I am going to make this short, (hopefully) and sweet. I ordered this stamp from <a href="http://thepixiecottage.blogspot.com/">ThePixieCottage</a> and I must say, this pic does not do it justice! Michelle carries many lines, as well as her own! Be sure to go over and check them out, the link to her store will be on the link above. <br /><br />So I colored this image using Copic Markers in a mix with Bic Markers, I got the idea of the Bic markers from a friend Leslie, they work great! Now, I am not really good with them yet, but, I do plan on practicing a lot more in the future, as I only own FIVE Copics, lol!! This card was a rush job, so I could throw it up real quick and show you the stamp. <br /><br />If you are a true expert or consider yourself one on the use of these markers, please lend me your expertise!

Well it's okay because this challenge came from Miss lesley over at <a href="http://simplyscrapping.ning.com/">Simply Scrapping</a>! We were to do a christmas card and the the only stipulation was that we incorporate the color PINK in it. That was hard for me, because I definitely never associate pink and christmas together. That like mixing peanut butter and tomatoes together, ewwww! But I actually like how it came out, lol, even though I used the bare minimum. <div><div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 278px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5383953870351694130" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSMZcQ1OxVXHOez248XildZ4XkpJb1PvsZZQbMK-3NQjbneeZf7nufI2bERDUFx2fE6bh5dw-T-8gQKUCdm7v57fZcZm3UBTxMRSFuDLnlC_CZYg4jZL-OiAaBBiW63JyjSQQPtSKCO4s/s400/snowman.jpg" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 266px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5383953757226327410" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigZ-8cWviLtbwL6j41SUsSu2JeQakxgFcVuIBXQP8Lv-mSZLPcyRkhCRLXlyeYdjLuabSMGPpV9PAY0EZlGOoDhQ_E7n4UjrflgFAEu0g7a7XGQUpJkNZYdaOuyfcXgfLAvEV8XcLZNkI/s400/snowman+2.jpg" /><br />Make sure you hop on over there to see the rest of their September challenges, along with a fabulous prize.<br />Now there is a new blog I happened to stumble upon, <a href="http://thepixiecottage.blogspot.com/">The Pixie Cottage</a>. They have some of the most fabulous stamps I have ever seen, some from their own line as well as some from other manufacturers.<br /></div><div>So earlier this week, guess who I got to see. Jamie Foxx!!! A friend of mine and I went to see him at the Hampton Colleseum here in Virginia. They had a comedian come out first, (who was so hiliarious) and then the show began. let me tell you, he looks the exact same in person as he does on the screen. The show consisted of just him and his backup singers, which I would not be surprised if they came out with their own album. They could blow!<br /></div><div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 266px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5384090207765714626" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjA0ELYDvWXxpXdQXal7yNMDdStRtHmQbEAs9GplZQaLvOoCyhqM4QZjplKsSnhklKrxFxlYl7nH4o1TGRsuUI2yScaXv0WXC8aSRKygZrKKPidp2RpiXtxf05fRfS3EORmtuB_A0V-e7o/s400/DSC_0364.JPG" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 266px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5384090018223016994" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjP9GI9RCamBTiXdJFYvSOIS8lYlJZqEGI3nlPBRnua59QNVlIqQukHZ4hnc_cpY-ylxAGo6FY3AA2aPnlgyDVutM4kPJ5PCvzl-J2Lw3971i85l2-vjmXEzdg8icLBh66SIjs7a8mWyak/s400/DSC_0361.JPG" /><br />Over all the concert was great! I have been having a really great week over all, who could ask for more? I got to go to a Nascar race with some really great friends, I got to see Jamie Foxx and I got to see a great fight this weekend! Of course my man Floyd Mayweather brought it on home! Sorry if you are not a Mayweather fan, I know he is arrogant, but I thin khe has earned a right to be. Now I just need to here some DT news (hopefully good) and test resluts from an exam i took back early September and all will be good.<br /><br />Tanisha~</div></div>Tanishahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10768000446691188935noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7451755685998254084.post-86417128227914673132009-09-14T14:07:00.009-04:002009-09-18T23:08:53.688-04:00One For All & All For One!

I had so much fun, I can still hardly contain myself just writing this. most of you Nascar junkies probably know what I mean, those who don't, GO TO A RACE one time and I promise you will be hooked!<br /><div></div><div>I even got to hug <a href="http://scrappintrackside.blogspot.com/">Tracey's</a> man!! Micheal Waltrip. LOL!!! But she wasn't mad, because he hugged her first!!! He even knew who she was, she had to deliver the fan club binders to him. </div><br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 291px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5381379900704527554" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgL7Kzhy81tQ3PlDUM9saxVdRruY8lcAsAy3OjDtigTJusGkFDdJJEUNX19WFBWaKnBM_gisd_qTr3VS6bunvh7Dryqb7nFDVDFsNmhaRO2SSH89zwbZJwU4pqzeZMnIGglA7XvK2FcMlgy/s400/mike+%26+Tanisha+nascar.jpg" />First let me say to my girl <a href="http://scrappintrackside.blogspot.com/">Tracey</a>, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! Next thanks <a href="http://scrappintrackside.blogspot.com/">Tracey</a> and <a href="http://scrapadaisy.blogspot.com/">Leslie</a> Thank You for inviting me, though I was a little skeptic in the beginning, all doubts and have been quickly erased! My husband and my co-worker even got a chance to go and it was their first time as well!<br /><br /><div>Let me just say I think we were the luckiest people on earth that day!! We got to go to a post race celbration and actually get to talk to some of the drivers, such as Jeff Gordan, Mark Martin (who i have adopted as my driver, lol) and even Denny found time to come have answer some questions for us! now I say us, I mean about 160 of US, lol, but compared to how many people were actually at the race, those numbers are pretty damn good! Thanks to Tracey, her and les had already had VIP passes and such a funny story on how we scored 3 more with her phone and her shirt and me sweet talking the guy into getting one more! So make sure you check out her blog periodically, because she is sure to tell it! She has a pic of miss Sprint Cup pointing me out to Mark Martin!! I swear I was so nervous!!! What will I do at the Jamie Foxx concert later this week, lol!! <img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 291px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5381380606651002514" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh82Fl_QbvnUXPh7c3nZg2JrbTrRBTrMAIs3IL5BtIY0UX559TXrz8YbXg_8TwzllIcPaxPjysVV2ATd8etkDkTLJwYse4utY2CgCutTrDsobPmls4i6oxR_jAVxRhrQIBgCh2g3uPVCqUI/s400/Mark's+Shoes.jpg" /></div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 291px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5381380259512289106" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFxvKTO13xlQbZtsUH17KuhO5XzHCyX_9ylaRbt0XCPrOeAWYKveb4L1Lbqtzt3tuLHEx7OR8CFBnyXikUs-TmJIbkFRkje57oVdgxstY8UsDFurgF-2XTFqwup08byNl88ZihpNHa2pVJ/s400/mark+martin.jpg" /><br /><div></div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 291px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5381380100353222786" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5ThBNFIuZcHqnMbj1Rczrj7XHUZ1hVecUW5RybBVE6tKicgIsAhmEE5RuC2jEjwEX4b33bQIda6FNGipPqY9AdgafseMReTyYQk9AploV-0um_HUhyphenhyphenwBkzYuDZxM2p8mri2VhwXvfzTCc/s400/Mark+%235.jpg" /> We sat up front, so I got excellent pics of the interviews!
