Just when I try to get back into focusing on doing actual pages, here comes this acrylic STUFF! Wow..and guess what!? It comes in all sorts of different sizes and shapes! So...yes....I do find myself doing more of these acrylic projects and just as chunky as they wanna be! I LOVE chunk! Chunk = Goodness!!! Was I kinda nervous in working with it? Yup!

$5 Pizza vs "Regular" Paid Pizza!

What the hell!?

Seriously? You sell a different type of pizza for the $5 deals? Am I choosing your pizza place, becuase I like the taste of Your Pizza!? Okay first let me just put the name out there...PIZZA HUT! (Pizza Mia Pizza).
Let me set the scenario....

A few of us met up at Collective Journeys last night for their Among Friends and did some scrappin. We thought that it would be cool to just order pizza and have it delivered to ($5 never tasted so good)...yeah right...that is the advertisement you would hear on the their commercial advertising this $5 pizza.

So when we open up the 4 boxes we ordered, most of therm had been slided to one side as if the driver took a corner real fast OR he dropped them! We started eating, and I was the first to say, "This pizza taste frozen!" And so another friend agreed...so what the hell? I usually LOVE Pizza Hut AND the ALL the orange grease that is accompanied by it!

A few others notice the same thing, barely any sauce and it was just plain ole' NASTY! So my girlfriend calls and ask, "What happened to the pizza?" the dummy on the other end let the cat out the bag and honestly says, "Umm, we cooked it the night before...", WHAT!? So we were eating frozen pizza? Basically, yes...

So...then we got to speak to a manager...again.."What happen to our pizza?" She then explained that there is a BIG difference in the $5 pizza compared to regular priced pizza...WOW! Ok...
So...do you think if I would had known that, we wouldn't had chosen the $5! I guess you get what you pay for, but dang! Frozen Pizza?

Just giving you a heads up!
It was disgusting! I could had ate some Jenos Frozen Pizza at home...

Ready For a Laugh?

Okay...so Sunday night me and my mom were at Target and I saw this wonderful feather boa that I could wear in light of St. Pattys day. So I bought it. Along with my boa, my mom made her famous poundcake and I asked her to dye it GREEN AND I made GREEN rice crispy treats!

Y-U-M-M-Y! Yes indeedy! Everything was a hit at work! I was really aiming for some smiles and a little bit of laughter at work cause we all need it!

So I thought that I would get my "outfit together" so that I could walk in with a BANG at work! Diva Style! LOL! About 2 years ago I found these WAY OVERSIZED sunglasses with gold rims, at a seasonal halloween store...snagged them up just cause they are so funny and make me laugh EVERY time!

So...this is what things looked like when I walked out the door this morning! LOL! AND NO I DID NOT DRIVE THIS WAY TO WORK!!! LOL!!! (didn't have the guts!) LOL!

Words For the Week

Okay since I may be on my way to finally finding a church home, I think it would be cool to share a message with you that YOU may be able to use.

I am currently attending Life Changing Ministries and I can literally walk from my house if I ever have too. I am hoping to get Bre baptized there as well. I like the way Pastor Reginald Woods shares his message. Every sunday he prints out a worksheet for us to go along with him...makes you pay attention! So each Sunday, I will try my best to reiterate the word that I received!

So anyway...the message for today was a part 3 segment of "REWIND BE KIND"
Purpose of the message was to GET US TO TREAT OTHER MORE KINDLY, using day to day kindness in our day to day relations.

I immediately thought of ALL the people that should had been at this service! Maybe I can get the CD and maybe anonymously mail it to people! I won't be specific cause some of my coworkers read my blog...but some pepople FOR SURE could use this message!

He talked abut the need for Kindness Social Etiquite 101.
Question: Do you start your day off in the workplace with a "Good Morning Girlfriend!" OR "Good Morning so and so!" OR are you one of those individuals that greet your co-worker /staff member like this: "Umm...did you get that report done?" OR "Staff meeting in 5 minutes!"

Hello...can we rewind please!? Why do people feel the need to start their day off with either asking questions or making crazy requests??? It is just rude to engage into business this way!

How about a simple salutation or greeting? I mean I don't know about you...but thats how I was raised...out of respect..you speak with a greeting...
Oh..then he goes and talks about those in position: (Bosses, Supervisors and/or parents)
People in these positions should keep the following in mind:

• If you are a leader, STILL be kind and considerate!
• TOO many leaders feel they have a free pass to be harsh on those under them
• If you are a leader...REMEMBER leaders have masters too and YOU too will be put in check!
• Don't forget God will put you in check if you are just downright unfair!
• Remember that people are people first and foremost!

With that said..the conclusion to todays words is: KINDNESS SHOULD NOT BE AN ACT BUT A DAY TO DAY LIFESTYLE!

Can I get an Amen!?

Have a Blessed Week! Don't let anyone disrespect you, be mean to you OR steal your joy!

Need to Learn How to Balance...

Well it seems as though the days just aren't long enough, to accomplish what needs to get done. You see, you know its bad when you actually think about what is a priority..scrapping OR cleaning house? I mean how bad does the house really look? I mean I do have an excuse...Ihave a infant in the house, so do I get a pass for that? Oh come on...I would give you a pass!

So anyway, I have things I really need to take care of (scrap wise)

• Complete K2R samples and projects (priority)
• Finish cleaning room and putting things in their designated spots
• Put all my dog-eared pages from my magazines in my inspiration book to eventually scraplift
• Complete swaps and challenges I am in (actually this should be 2nd)
• Plan my National Scrapbook Day for "Who Gives a Scrap" Yahoo group
• The list can go on..

Home front things that need to get done:

• Find Bre some walking shoes, cause it will be any day now...
• Do the anual spring cleaning including (cleaning the garage, the weight room which has officially turned into the "junk" room
• Really do something with the front and back yard...it is hideous! Surprised that Nalla hasn't got lost back there in the jungle!
• I really need to sort through the clothes in my closet...half of them I don't wear, so I will be making a pile for a womens shelter.

Anyway...I guess have things to do hugh? Well before I do anything I have a comedy show to go to tonight at the Ontario Improv to see Arnez J and then tomorrow off to Oceanside to see my girlfriend Nichole and her baby Jayla.

So..I will talk you lovely people later!

Ciao!

4-1-1 Entertainment for the Week (3/10/08)

MY COMMENTS ARE IN PURPLE...

Bishop Thomas Weeks finally fesses up! Bishop Weeks pleaded guilty to one count of aggravated assault for beating Prophetess Juanita Bynum. Weeks apologized to his wife in court for beating her up in an Atlanta parking lot last August. Weeks stated he grabbed Bynum, threw her to the ground and kicked her. Weeks has been sentenced to three years probation, and he must undergo violence and anger counseling. He must also do 200 hours of community service, and it can't be church related. (why did he lie about this?)

Reps for Star Jones are denying reports that she has kicked her hubby of 3 ½ years to the curb. Where's Al? Over the past few weeks, Al Reynolds has been out of sight. Sources say he is in Miami. Late last year, Star Jones lost her Court TV show, and she has been trying to find steady work. In the meantime, her hubby, Al, has yet to find a job because he stopped working when he met her. There has been a lot of tension in the Jones-Reynolds household because someone has to get a job, and Star feels it's about time Al started pulling his weight. Has Al been using Star? Has she finally seen the light, or is she still paying the bills and standing by her man? (He needs a job!!!)

The soundtrack for Tyler Perry's Meets The Browns comes out on the 18th. The soundtrack will feature the music of Jill Scott, Musiq, Kelly Rowland, Brandy and Chaka Khan. The movie, starring Angela Bassett and Rick Fox, opens in theatres on the 21st. (Can't wait to see this one...I love me some Angela!)

Janet Jackson is currently planning her upcoming tour. In addition to dates in the states, Jackson is planning on touring the world including Africa, Asia, Australia and Europe. Jackson is also planning on releasing a book about her weight struggles. (Hmmm...so why did she cancel her appearance on SNL for this Saturday? Is it because her album is another bust!? So now they have Mariah...)

Oprah Winfrey is in talks with Steven Spielberg to recreate The Color Purple movie. The 1985 version starred Winfrey and Whoopi Goldberg, and Oprah wants the new movie to star Fantasia, who played the role of "Celie"on Broadway. (Big Give...didn't do too well)

Lionel Richie will be honored at ASCAP's annual awards. Richie is getting the Golden Note Award on April 9th. This award is given to songwriters, composers and artists who have achieved great career milestones. Past winners include Stevie Wonder, Quincy Jones and Jermaine Dupri.

Gamble and Huff were the architects of The Sound Of Philadelphia, and they talk about their incredible career on our website.

Basketball Star LeBron James a cover guy? YES! The Cleveland Cavaliers star will be on the cover of an upcoming edition of Vogue magazine's shape issue.

Now that the writers' strike is over, get ready for the '24' TV movie. The two-hour movie will be a prequel to the seventh season, which kicks off in January 2008. The 2007-2008 season was deep-sixed due to the writers strike, and Kiefer Sutherland's 48-day jail sentence. Sutherland plays the show's star "Jack Bauer."

Former Olympic Darling Marion Jones has started her six month jail term. Jones is serving jail time for lying to investigators about using steroids, and her role in a check fraud scam. Jones is in a Texas facility. During the 2000 games, Jones was the most famous female athlete in the world.

Friends of this female producer are shocked by her alarming weight loss. Since her public breakup with a Hollywood A-lister, she has refused to eat and she is starting to look anorexic. The producer's ex-husband is also worried about her. He wants her to get her life back on track andconcentrate on their kids. He feels she has not been setting a good example for their sons. (WHO IS THIS!!)

Time Got Me!

Okay so, this is the 2nd day in a row that I was fooled by the sun not being up when my alarm clock rang...MAN! I keep on thinking I have time to spare in the morning! Before the time changed, at least it was daylight shining through my window...now its just plain ole' dark!
Do you know how hard that is? I thought it was kinda funny on Sunday morning, how empty the church congregation was....seems like the time change messed up a few people! LOL!

My internal clock is still adjusting...at night I am not tired, but the clock may read midnight! I guess I just need to force myself! Wish me luck in the morning to get up on time!

Have a wonderful day!

Acrylic Baby Album

So this weekend I attended SoCal's monthly crop and yesterday I designed this acrylic album for Jessica with K2R.

Materials used:

• Clear Scraps "Baby" Acrylic Album
• Making Memories Blossoms & Buttons (Garden Party)
• Basic Grey Rub-ons
• White Poster Paint Sharpie Pen (acid free and photo safe)
• Assorted Ribbon

It was deifnately a challenge making this album as I have never done a word album before. At the last few expos, the chipboard word albums were very popular and the lines were long for make and takes. I decided to pass and thought it looked too time consuming! However, I have to say, it was pretty fun making this album, love the colors especially!

Enjoy!

Have fun! Be honest!

I Made It!!!!

WOW!!!

Okay, I have been sitting on the edge of my seat, every day, checking my email everyday, checking Jessica’s blog (owner of Kits2Remember) everyday waiting for the announcement!

I tell you what I truly think this is a blessing for me….I am a very humble individual and I guess maybe sometimes don’t give myself enough credit when due. My husband tells me all the time, “Babe, you do nice work!” But of course the thought crosses my mind….does he feel obligated to tell me this! LOL! Does he really mean it? Well I guess I am good enough for Miss Jessica! Thanks Jessica, I am truly honored to be apart of your team! I have had the pleasure of meeting you online, finally meeting you at the Desert Scrapbook Retreat in January, which was a pleasure. One of the evenings at the retreat, we (myself, Alondra and Jessica), were in the little restaurant, having some snacks and some grown ladies talk…and afterwards Alondra and I were talking about how down to earth Jessica was! I SO respect her hard work and vision in her company!

So anyway…back to my blessings! So I get this email from Jessica informing me I have been chosen, I was at work and I think I felt my heart smash my toes, cause it dropped hard and fast! I doubted myself because I have NEVER done any submissions to anyone! NEVER requested any submissions for publications, NEVER have done samples for LSS’s, nothing..so I thought my chance was pretty slim! But look! This is a lesson to self…Doesn’t hurt to try, never doubt yourself! ALWAYS believe in yourself! (Thanks for proving me wrong Jessica!)

I also need to share that I also taught a class last night for the first time at the Redlands Housing Authority Community Center. I felt really blessed to be able to teach a class for FREE using my stash, to show someone else less fortunate than me to make some really creative stuff! We made a cute paper bag album, and everyone had a good time. I was really nervous, but everything worked out great! Thanks Janice for setting that up for me! Hopefully we can do a series!

With all of this said...please check out K2R website: http://www.kits2remember.com/ and K2R's blog: http://k2rkrew.blogspot.com/. Please take a moment and register for the forums as we are anticipating on doing some really cool projects and offering tips and advice on my favorite....YES ACRYLIC ALBUMS, mino books and lots of other cool items! Come and join the fun!

Anyway, I really just had to share my blessings and my JOY!

Hope everyone has a great day!

Latest Acrylic Project...

The writing, you may barely be able to see, but it says "Soulmates" and it is actually a rub-on that rubbed on great on this piece of acrylic!

Using an acrylic album that I bought from Kits2Remember from Jessica Guthrie...I just love working with acrylic! It is so fun and just so different!
Enjoy!
