blog boo hoo

THIS girl was JUST trying to add a header. Nothing fancy, just something a little more exciting on the top with some pics of myself & projects I've done & now it's ALL gone. I don't understand. I even saved my html & sent it to myself in an e-mail, but now it's lost FOREVER. & I freaken LOVED my background, because it matched my scrap supplies :[ If any of you lovlies are awesome bloggers and understand all this html greatness, HELP a girl out PLEASE. This is not a good time for this to happen, I have too many automatic posts coming up & I will look ridiculous if this is what my blog looks like......

IG challenge.

Been working hard on a few projects I can't share quiiiite yet, but in the meantime, getting ready for a challenge! All my social [media] butterflies, I want to start a monthly challenge! If you're interested, e-mail me at sbookinshay29@aol.com to become involved & participate, I'd love to add a few to the roster & give you details :) There will be prizes & free goodies to be gotten! Not too much today, plans got changed in a MaJoR way for this weekend, so I'm off to get crafty!

HOME.

Back from Florida, and it was awesome, such a great kick off to summer!

Took Caleb to Star Wars Weekends at Disney, which was fun, except for the rain.... Went to Clearwater Beach for a day, got sunburnt, swam a bunch.... Now to scrapbook it, always the fun part! Here's a few of my favorite pics, from my Nikon, Fuji & instagram :]

I won't post too many, I know I'll be doing the pages for the next few weeks with cute new summer goodies! Now to get back into the swing of craftiness, and I guess go to work LOL Sending out a TON of happy mail tomorrow, so if you were waiting on anything from me, it'll go out tomorrow, so keep an eye out :] There may even be a few surprises! Happy summer, it's finally here!

Disney bound.

This girl is leaving for Florida tonight wooooot woooot!
Caleb gets to miss the last day of school because we are going to Disney, which he has NO IDEA. It's going to be AMAZZZing, and I am so excited myself, alllll of my cameras are packed, charged and ready to go! It's his first trip there, and I haven't been to the one in Orlando since I was four, so I cannot even begin to say how excited I am :]
I will have my computer down there, and of course I'll be on my iphone! So if you need to get ahold of me, shoot me an e-mail & be prepared for a HUGE blog post full of pics when I get back! Happpppy summer!

last Simply crop EVER.

So heartbreaking.
Just got back from the very crowded last Friday night crop at Simply Scrapbooks.
Still keeping my fingers crossed that someone buys the store :[ Definitely glad my schedule worked out so I could go this very last time, and all my faves were there. I really want to know where I'm supposed to hang out now that I can't just go sit and hang out at the store, help customers that think I still work there, buy more junk-- my everyday there lol.

Here's a few pictures from the store:




Worked on some Elle's Studio Challenges for there kickoff this weekend, played with some Studio Calico kits && worked on Project Life. I'll finish some of them up and get pics up later in the weekend.....
Great night, but so bittersweet.

happppy NSD.

So I turned it into a week, I can do that if I want, lol
I hope you all had a wonderful interNational Scrapbook Day :] Mine was amazinnnng but incredibly busy! My high school best friend, Stephanie, is having a baby & her shower was that day. & it was also Free Comic Book Day, so Caleb HAD to get his free comic, and we thought it was fitting to see Avengers for opening weekend, I just couldn't say no & it was incredible! I have a feeling we'll be seeing it again in the theatre! Thankfully I took Sunday off as well, so I could really enjoy getting some projects and challenges done for NSD, and I was so inspired I've kind of just kept going....

On the top of my list was joining in on some of the chats over at Studio Calico, by FAR my favorite scrappy place to go, I LOVE the message boards and the ladies of the community! My dream job is to be involved with their company, because everyone is so talented, and I just love everything they come up with! SC put up some great challenges, and I'm finishing those up to be entered for some great prizes, here's a link to my Studio Calico gallery here  I was lucky enough to get this great big box of goodies before the holiday:
 As wellll as some twopeasinabucket things, happy mail is one of my subjects we don't talk about HAHA it happens often here, there's just too much goodness out there to say no!

Here's a few detail shots of the pages I've gotten to finish:

What projects did you all finish?? Hope it was lots of fun, happy scrapping!!

wish me luck.

I've been incredibly busy this week, but I am VERY excited to be off all weekend, which means I'll really get to participate in National Scrapbook Day, which is awesome, because I will have PLENTY of new SC goodies by the weekend, and an order from Two Peas! I promise to post some new projects this weekend! What are everyone's NSD plans??
