Poop Face...Non Scrapping or Family Related Post

As a result of recent events surrounding another lady and the overflow of my inbox... I just need to clarify something that I am completely and utterly dumbfounded about... this might sound jumbled and pretty silly, but bear with me...

say hypothetically you had a friend who joked around and was lighthearted in nature all of the time, never very serious about anything really. Say that friend, both being adults mind you, called you a poop face (yes I said poop face), you laughed about it and even joked back about it with them by saying on numerous occasions that you were their "poop face" and further that "I will always be your poop face", still joking right? Still with me?

Now say that this same friend also said things like "Stop ignoring me ( with an emoticon of a face sticking their tongue at you... you know the one... funny right?)They are still joking... In return YOU joked back... just like the poop face thing.

The dilema... you all of a sudden get hurt by it, voice your concern, and your friend states they were totally kidding.... its dropped and you continue to joke about it the same damn thing!!! BUT all of a sudden, you really do get hurt for whatever reason, but don't really say anything, then stop talking to them completely because you were SO hurt by that.

Breakdown... You basically hairflip on them because you got hurt by them calling you a poop face and claiming you were ignoring them...

Am I right to think that think that this is pretty juvenile or at best a complete misunderstanding that probably occured as a result of the internet and not being able to see peoples expressions and body language?

I vote for the latter...


Did any of that make sense? Am I crazy and insensitive? Oh, BTW, it is I, Corina who calls people I care about poop face... just ask Joe and my son... I have a weird sense of humor I guess. OK vent over

EDITED:
Just to clarify... for those who are thinking "Are you serious?"... yes I am!

In Training!

Aren't these funny? It's the last of Joe's 3 days off for the week and one would think that I could play on the computer and get some layouts done, but with him around, it's just too hard to step away! So, sometimes, either right before the baby goes to sleep or right after, I will sneak in some time... or at least I USED to try to. The past week or so, the times I have tried to, the baby inches her way towards the laptop and takes over! I pull her away... she goes back! Persistent little thing huh? Anyways, thought these were kinda cute! As long as she doesn't spend like I do... we are all good!

Surprise For You!

OK, I get a handful of people emailing me letting me know they have used a freebie of mine, but I want more! I love seeing what people make, so here is you chance to score another goody from me (hint: it's an alpha... hehe)! All you gotta do is use the last freebie (arrow) on a layout, then link me to it on this post, leave me your email, and then you will be rewarded!

Instead of taking down my link after 48 hours like I normally do, I'm going to leave it up for another couple of days... so far its up to 104! Wohoo! Show me the layouts ladies!!!! I got some praisin' to do!!! I need some serious busy time because I applied to another CT team and I really don't want to think about it... I guess that is why I never wanted to apply anywhere else before... I can't stand the waiting and then being let down with a big fat "Meet My New Creative Team" (looks at the names and I do not see Corina Nielsen...sigh...sigh...sigh). OK no more thinking about it because I am already getting down on myself!

Scrap and link me baby!

No cool title here....

I was lurking tonight on Holly McCaig's site and I found a link to this BLOG and I got so lost in it, I lost track of time and now Joe is almost home (there goes anymore scrapping tonight)! Anyways, I swear this girl (as pointed out to me by Margie) has quite the potty mouth, even more so than me, I just keep it all to myself here on my blog... BUT I may change that if I keep reading his blog! It's hilarious... such funny stories... go check it out after you read my whole entry (hehe)!

In less exciting news, to you anyways, I got picked up on a CT team, my first ever! WooHoo and a toot toot! I told the store owner that she was my "first", then she replied about having some private rooms for the team at the store... then I got really excited and had to shut down my email and cool off ( uh, just kidding)! I never really had a desire to be on any kind of team, but for some reason, I am totally excited about this (can you tell I really need to get back to work and actually get a life)! More details to come on this story when the annoucements are made...

Joe keeps pushing me to go back to work, well not really pushing, but saying things like "You really should start putting yourself out there again" and "It's a shame that you aren't working yet because there are some guys at work who are looking to (at this point I block him out) blah blah blah". I was a tiger before I had the baby but it seems I have turned into a lazy, Nutella and banana eating, internet buying, lazy ass (yes I said ass because I'm tired of bein' polite on my own BLOG... so there). Sometimes I want to go back to work and I do miss my fat checks, but I swear, with the new house and all the goodies we have in it, it's amazing I even go get the mail (which I actually haven't gone to get in about a week and a half)... that reminds me. We met with landscapers today and me thinks after getting our estimates, this lazy ass will need to bring home some bacon!

OK... babble over... here you go you crazy women :)

In other news, Joe went back to work so I can finally scrap again... for the next 4 days anyways until he goes back! Here is what I came up with:



and



I got both done in a couple of hours, but in my defense, the baby didn't go down until about 8:30 or so, I did download and unzip about 20 fonts from The Font Garden, she woke up after her normal 1/2 power nap, and I had my new favorite dessert... Nutella spread on a toasty piece of bread and topped with bananas! YUM! OK... I am working on the next freebie and it should be done tomorrow I think... although you can drop a note on my other posts too right? You aren't just using me are you?

Just kidding...

kind of...

:)

Goodies!

I have been having such a great time trying out new styles and so far I am loving all things "doodle-y"! What do you think of these 2 new "creations"???





And here is a layout I did with them:

I think it turned out pretty cute and I am totally loving this new style! Having lots of fun outside my comfort bubble! But I would love some comments... what do you think of them? Would you use them?

Post Easter Wrap Up

What an awesome weekend!!! I LOVE having people at my house! It's so hectic and crazy, but so much fun! Everyone got in on Friday and the party didn't stop until tonight. I spent most of the day in the kitchen cooking (even though all you see here is desserts, we had plenty of food as well. Joe took yesterday off work so that he could be here with us the whole weekend... Which is always awesome! Here is my recap:

We Ate...






We Bounced...


We Played...


We Hunted...



We did baskets...



We colored eggs...




All in all in was a great Easter, probably the best one I have ever had! I hope everyone had a great weekend and Easter as well! Joe is back for his last day of work before his real days off, so I'm scrappin' tonight! The house is quiet, Blake is with Grandma... so if the baby permits, once she goes to sleep, I will finally get to be on the computer! I was starting to go through withdrawals this weekend! The house even got semi-cleaned already, so I will leave that until tomorrow... it didn't get nearly as bad as I thought!

Happy Monday Everyone!!!

The Calm Before The Storm

This is what my house looks like today... before it gets taken over by 6 kids, 4 grandparents, 2 sisters, 2 sister in laws, a few friends, and a partridge in a pear tree!

It's Easter weekend and I am having a house full of people show up between today and tomorrow. I spent all day yesterday cleaning and this is what I came up with. I guarantee by 8pm tonight, wait, I'm even gonna 6pm, the house will be upside down! But I love it! Nothing better than kids running up and down the stairs, yummy food cookin' in the kitchen, kids tattle talin', and laughs everywhere! This is why I love my new house and having a new baby... everyone has to come HERE for the holidays!

And... just because... here is something for you...






I used them on this layout (yes, I know I look like a dork and am a dork for scarpping these) with Jen Wilson's paper and glitter flowers! Something cool to do with them is to use your paint bucket tool and fill in different spots. That way you can match colors in your layout perfectly!

Anywho, thanks for those of you who purchased my frist real "kit"! the first ten people should have already been sent links to their 24 paper pack freebie! Have a great weekend all!!!! I'm off to enjoy my crazy family!

Skinny Fat...

Ever heard that term? It's like when you are all dressed up and thinkin' ya look good and uh, thin (or at least thinner), but when you take the clothes off everything just kinda plops out and hangs. Or when you get your skinny jeans on and your husband smacks your bottom and you think to yourself "Yup, I still got it", but then you go sit on the couch and you have a couple of tires bulging out over the top of those jeans that you now regret putting on because you can no longer breath and are about to pass out.

Yeah... that's skinny fat. That's me. It's been one of those weekends.

Oh, I was tagged for the first time... ever... by Rischa. It's funny, I remember a few months ago I asked on the NSBR board at 2 peas who I had to sleep with to get tagged... Rischa, I guess you are the lucky gal huh? LOL

O.K. I am supposed to write about someone I admire... I actually have quite a few people who I admire, but I must talk more about my husband.

*my sweet Joe*
I have never met anyone so unselfish and giving in my life. He has this wonderful ability to put everyone before himself, always. He is always patient and never loses his cool. In the beginning, with us, there were some hard times and he never gave up. He held us together, even through all of my madness. If it hadn't been for him, I know without a doubt that I would not be as happy as I am today with another baby, a new house, and a hopeful future with a loving family.

I'm such a tease...

Fooled around this morning with some doodle's and got these frames! Enjoy!!! Like always, I'd love to hear from you if and when you use them!!! It makes my day getting links to your work using my work!!! Try and leave a note here too... even just a thanks!



Here is what I'm working on now... will be done very soon! What do you think? I also have some news... be sure to come back now ya hear!

(by the way I talk, ya think I'd be from Texas huh Sue?)

Doodle Frame Download

EDITED:
Wanted to add for those who are new and do not know how to use this... they are PNG files, so all you have to do is drag the desired frame onto your layout. They are made on a 6 x 8 or 7 x 7 canvas... if you need to resize them, in PSCS, drag over your picture, then click edit-free transform, you can use the shift key to keep it proportional, then resize to whatever size you need!

Happy Monday!

I hope everyone had an awesome weekend! I didn't do much of anything ( no surprise there! ). Blake had a game this weekend so I got to practice with a new lens that I rented from a local photo shop... what an awesome thing to be able to do huh? I will probably never buy this $1,700 lens, let me rephrase that, I WILL never buy it, but for $20, I got to keep it for the weekend and play. Wasn't too happy with what I got out of it though... I think I was shakin' too much... scared I was gonna drop it and have to pay for it!



my guy is the little one with the blue helmet:)!

In other news, I have been checking out everyone's work for Rhonna's challenge and have been absolutely amazed! I can't even believe how many uber artistically talented people there out there!!! Looking at their stuff makes me want to do the challenge also, but my "habit" is spending and with Jen's sale going on right now, I would have already been defeated! I wonder if I could start the 21 day challenge when the new line is completely out? Yeah right, like that would make a difference!

Anyways, down to business... here is this week's freebie! I posted the preview before, but since then I added a couple of things like some stiching! I have been working on some metal elements this week also and will more than likely have a mid-week sumthin'sumthin' for ya too!



Like I have said before, if you do download this kit, please leave me a comment... I had a "chat" with Traci yesterday and, well, the jist of it was that when we give out freebies, it's nice to hear a thank you every now and then... KWIM? It's also nice to be cited in the credits too (hehe, sorry again Traci!!!!!) Alrighty, then! Have a good week and be sure to check back in soon!

Almost forgot to share the kit I started working on today! Here is a preview of the papers so far! I think the name is going to be "Warm Delights"... whatcha think? Does it look delightfully warm? Sue, this one's for you!

I'm bored...

credits

but I did manage to get another page done for my BOM digi album. Finished this 2 nights ago and I think I am done with scrappin' me, tired of seeing my face... back to the kids and Joe for now! Sorry Traci for forgetting your torn edge! I always forget the last element I have used in my layouts!!

I will be posting a new FREEBIE kit on Monday, so make sure you check back in for that. When I first went digital, I was sure I would save money, but because I am a total spend-aholic and very impulsive... this is what happened... THIS WEEK!


Not since I started 2 months ago... but JUST THIS WEEK! As I started dragging these into PS, I couldn't believe what I spent. I just can't help it... this baby better get older real soon so I can get my life back! Oh well. The way I see it... before the baby I spent money on shoes and compared to what I spent on those, this is NOTHIN'!!!! Maybe I should go to sleep earlier, then all of the late night spendin' would cease! Waiting up for Joe until 12:30am is no good for our bank account!

EDITED: as requested... most of the stuff I bought here is from Jen Wilson's site and everythign else is from SBB!

Alrighty, I'm off to feed baby some cereal and bananas. I'll leave ya with this cute little thing that my son is getting a kick out of!
