Christmas in September???

I know right? Well it's okay because this challenge came from Miss lesley over at Simply Scrapping! 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.

Make sure you hop on over there to see the rest of their September challenges, along with a fabulous prize.
Now there is a new blog I happened to stumble upon, The Pixie Cottage. They have some of the most fabulous stamps I have ever seen, some from their own line as well as some from other manufacturers.

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!

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.

One For All & All For One! Adventures Of The New 3 Musketeers!

Sooooooo, I have went to my very first Nascar race and it was a trip!! 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!

I even got to hug Tracey's 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.

First let me say to my girl Tracey, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! Next thanks Tracey and Leslie 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!

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!!

We sat up front, so I got excellent pics of the interviews! So as I update I will throw a few pics in. This was such a great experience, I am still in awe!



We still have a challenge going on over at "If the shoe fits scrap it" so come check it out, I still have my challenge going on here (sketch) remember make your own interpretations. Check out Tracey's and Leslie's blogs to hear more of our Nascar weekend!

Ciao,

Something New I Am Trying

Well, the vacation is over! I have to return back to work tomorrow and I am still up, why? I still have much to do before I turn in. Well one is this, I am going to try to post a sketch challenge once a week on my blog, for right now, there will not be a particular day I post, nor a prize (for right now). Just thought it would be something fun to do, as well as show off some sketches I have learned to do.

Remember your project does NOT have to be exact, just let it inspire you!! Have Fun~

Tanisha~

Post a link in the comments to your project and I will upload them here.

LSP Sketch #1

Projects of August

So, why is it I am always on here when I should be asleep! I have to be up to go get killed by my trainer at 9:30! Which, I guess isn't sooo bad, when I am usually up by 5:00 am to be ready for work, lol.

Anywho, I know I said I was going to post my pic today, well, I forgot and the day got away from me, I am definitely not going to take one now, lol, so probably tomorrow.

Now on to some scrapping! I have some stuff here that I did early and mid August, I had forgot all about them that quick, silly me. So here they are...

This kit was given to us by a great Sponsor we had over at Scrap-a-doodle-doo!I love the pic I did here to distress it, try using your photo program to make it look like an old photograph, then throw some crackle accent on it.

This one is self explainatory, all I am going to say, is that you will probably see a million LO's with her in this damn shirt! Elmooooo, Elmooooo! One of her favorite characters. Well of course I had to get this shirt for her, before leaving Disney World, probably would have been cheaper at Walmart!

This was in my (wannabe Anne Geddes) photography days, lmao!! I would buy her all kinds of hats and such and photograph here like crazy! Well this little hat, I thought was just too cute, only cost me a few bucks on ebay ( a great place to shop for baby clothes, sometime, lol). She is sitting in her little baby swing, probably waiting for this session to be over! Who says girls cant wear Green?!

This is my baby girl Nya, just a bunch of different random elements, its a shame I can't tell you by who, because I get sooo excited when I buy stuff I throw the wrappers away as soon as I use the product, lol.

The Time Travelers Wife

Wow! Is all I could say about this movie. Well... maybe not, the move was definitely a must see and with your significant other at that! Now if you liked The Butterfly Effect & The Lake House (definite chick flick) you will absolutely have to add this to your collection and time traveling movies.

In my opinion this topped The Butterfly Effect and is beating The Lake House by a finger nail! Not to mention eye candy (Eric Bana) shhhh... don't tell my husband, lol, is also starring in this movie. Now you do have to pay attention carefully, no matter how loud the stranger sitting next to you is chewing their popcorn in your ear. But, yeah, get everything you need before you sit down, because you don't want to miss a thing!!!

Okay now that my siskel & Roeper moment is over.....

I have other news, I have a person trainer now, yay me!!! Okay, maybe a little too excited right? Well, I joined the Navy at about 145, which was good for me at the time, I am 5' 7 so you see why I say that. Well, almost 12 years of marriage, two kids, 100 and so odd trips to any fast foodd chain you think of later, I have dropped and gained weight more than Oprah!

So, last week, I have told my self no more! I started going to the Gym, every other day faithfully and on off days I would go to this place we have here called Mt Trashmoore to walk (Fast Pace). So I have dropped five pounds so far. I am going to post my full body pic monday and will continue to do so in the same outfit (It will be clean, lol). This will be also to keep me motivated, can't post my pic here for the world to see me moving backwards, lol!

I hope that this will inspire others if they are having weight issues either with gaining or losing.

Alright, I will finally update my scrappy part of me tomorrow with some new projects that I have been working on. I also have been contemplating on putting a challenge or two on here, (sketch of course) Sooo.... if you are interested in me doing that, please shoot me an email over at tanishaboyd@ymail.com and give me your opinion, followers and lurkers welcomed the same!


Happy Labor Day Weekend and Happy Scrapping~
Tanisha~

Easy like Sunday morning

Wow! The weekend has come and go so quickly. I swear it seems like the older I get, the faster time speeds up. Remember when the summer used to feel like a year? LOL. Well, anyways I am on this Sunday morning, enjoying DVR recorded episodes of Hawthorne. I must say this show is very entertaining on all levels and I hope they have some longevity on the air. Not to mention that Jada Pinkett Smith is one of my favorite actresses.

Now on a little less reality, a new show that is on the rise, that is on it's on it's second season, that you should really check out, is True Blood. Now I am not a big vampire freak, shoot, I could not even watch the howling for years, but True Blood, is a great show. It is romantic, suspenseful, and mysterious all in one. Every Sunday night there is a new episode, but you may want to check your On Demand for past episodes, and there are only 3 new one left.

Here is one of my recent LO's I have worked on (granted I have so little time to squeeze stuff in). I just love this pic of her, right after getting into some chocolate chip cookies! I swear that girl has a nose like a blood hound for them.

Ta-da!

So, I am actually posting in less than a months time, wow, what is really going on? Anyways, I am taking a quick break from studying for my rating exam that I have to take in September. This is what is going to determine if I am going to even ever be able to scrap again. Yeah its that big of a deal. The test is September 6th and I can pass it all I want, I have to be to score high enough to advance. This is the very last time I can take this test. If I do not advance, I will be discharged from the Navy in February. So please keep me in your prayers, I definitely need them all.

Now to better news....Scrapbooking!!!!! It's just one project today, which you can also catch on our blog Iftheshoefits...scrapit! Where we give you prizes just for doing something you love!

Also be sure to check us out, because.....well, I can't tell you now, but let me just say we have a few changes coming up.

Okay so I have not done this in awhile. My random off topic rants.

Fast Food (which I need to stay clear of) - Why, oh why, is it that when you put in your order and it gets to you and it is wrong, it is YOUR fault? Even when you go in with the nicest attitude and just ask if they can make it correct, they prepare to beat you at getting mad? Note to self- STOP EAT FAST FOOD.

Clothes - Why is it that your clothes look so much cuter on you in the store than at home? Maybe I should plan all my outings at the store.

Last but not least, is Facebook not the most addictive thing right now? LOL, alright, Goodnight everyone!

Someting nice and simple.

Some New Projects

So I managed to get more stuff done, I just have had time to post to my own blog until now. I am thinking of making some good changes to my blog in a few months, so make sure you check back to see what they are.
Okay sooooo, since I have last posted my laptop has crashed on me, so I rushed out to buy another one, lol, because sharing a desktop with an 8 year old and a mother-n-law is just not going to cut it, lol! So, with losing my old laptop, I actually lost a lot of my favorites scrappy sites to visits, beside the blogs I have saved here. So if anyone would be so kind and would like to reccommend blogs or sites so I can rebuild, please send me the links to tanishaboyd@ymail.com .

Now here are a couple of projects I would like to show you. Please leave a comment, I always love to hear what you have to say.

Okay so this is a pic of Nya that I took of her on the 23rd of July and I just had to play with it. I used paint shop pro (which I absolutely love) just because it is a little easier to navigate

This LO I believe was a sketch challenge on our blog iftheshoefits...scrapit!

I will admit sketches are a little challenging for me especially when it calls for so much, I usually like to just start scrapping and wherever my imagination may lead me, thats what I end up with.

Alright, well thats about it for now, I am going to take my butt to bed, because I have to get up as usual for another long day of work in the morning. Hope everyones weekend was great!

I know it's been awhile!

I am so sorry for not updating in so long, but I live a busy life, lol. When I say busy, I mean BUSY. So I am able to type now without feeling tired, lol, and share a little of what I have managed to accomplish since my last post.

Quick update also: I fell (bad knees)at work Friday afternoon (June 19th) and freakin broke my right hand ring finger nail in half. I did not even notice until another person on the flight line with me pointed in out. I think I was more embarrassed than anything. Sooooo, I am sent to medical, and they tell me (yes, you guessed it) they have to stick me with needles to numb my finger so they can pull the rest of the nail off! I started freaking out, because one, I think they are going to stick the needle in my nail or near it. But, no the did not after many tears and the bravery of tearing it off myself (it was already detached, just hanging). So they stick me at the base of the finger (still hurt) numbed it up and cleaned it out, gave me good drugs and sent me home. Needless to say this has been a very long couple of days living with this crippled finger, lol. Why is it when you hurt a body part, you and everyone else seem to focus on causing it more pain? Such as my daughter stepping on it (by accident of course).

Now on an awesome note, I have received another great award from a great blogger! You should check out her blog. Her name is Janice and her work is wonderful! Here is her blog. Thanks again Janice and thanks for being patient with me. The Navy is a very busy world!

So here is some of my work, I managed to squeeze out.

Hope you enjoy!

Well I have more, I just cannot post right now, because we have not released them on our blog yet, so make sue you come on over and visit our blog " Iftheshoefitsscrapit " or visit our forum where we have great challenges going on as well from our DT and our GD. We are also looking for GD (guest designers) so please come to them blog for rules on what you need to do. Hope to see ya there!
