just a quick post today, the kids are pestering the shitsky outta me since I have been sitting here all day. LOL…

I had time to squeeze out something for the Color Challenge this month…

This months color challenge – JUNE Colour Challenge 2009

the colors are:

if you play along you receive this from KimB

and since I like to INSPIRE creativity instead of just handing it to you, I made you this…

Bunnys June Color Challenge bits…

this set contains a page starter, which is basically an unfinished quickpage, and an interchangeable wordart set.  Pop in your photo, add some embellishments and save.  Wha-lah!

You may download this glorious morsel of creative-inspiration here: CLICK ME
Please do NOT share my files.  However invite them to my blog to grab them for themselves.  Of course, a THANK YOU is very nice and always welcomed. *hint hint*

And if you would like a little closer look at what I did with this set:

until next time………………

hehehe.

lots of “blah blah” today, you up for it?

Yesterday got away from me, again.  I had an “emergency” pc repair drop off.  Which has me thinking, WHY IS IT: when someone’s computer messes up they automatically call it emergency, and expect me (the repair gal) to put their pc first in the queue.  *sigh*

This is my dining room, atm, towers and parts sitting around waiting.

hmm.. THIS is not good.

on a good note,

I think I may just LOVE my UPS man now.   lol.  Even though he is late, doesn’t even ring my door bell, and occasionally leaves packages in my driveway because he is too lazy to hit my steps…I still could possible love him.

But, I’m starting to wonder if its time for an intervention, my loot from yesterday…

*sigh*  why is it, if YOU order something then I feel like I should order something too?  Since I’m on there putting in the order ANYWAY… might as well…  LOL.  I really don’t think being a Stampin’ Up! demo is going to be profitable for me because I keep spending ALL MY PROFITS!  ugh!!!  Please Lord, don’t let the man-thang look at my blog today…  PLEASE…  Amen.

Here’s my ‘mators this morning!  Aren’t they glorious?!  Man-thang is worried they will outgrow their containers before it is safe to put them  outside.  So, now what do I do? HELP!

the back 2 rows are lil Cherry tomatoes.  Geeze I love them!  The next row is “Big Boys”  In the front which have JUST started to sprout is bell peppers. MMMMM!

Here is 2 lil cucumber plants.  Hello yummy lil pre-pickles you!  The only thing in this tray that has sprouted.  I hope the squash peek out soon!!

My lil bells, finally showing some signs of growth! 

All the pics of my veggies made me want to have a wander around my yard, so here’s my morning stroll for you. YAY! 

My neighbors really must think I’m crazy, walking around taking pictures of nothing and cussing.  Every time I would get a good FOCUS, the wind would kick up and start wriggling around my subject and I would have to stand there like an idiot waiting for the wind to stop blowing.  lol.

Anyway, I thought my weeds were even pretty this morning.  Weeds or not, that splash of purple is Cah-Ute!

My Desktop for today:

and for your viewing pleasure…

I also realize I didn’t post my challenges last week.  No one was playing, so I skipped a week.  You know, for no one to be participating, you guys sure let me KNOW when I don’t post them! hahah!!

So for you gripers…

this weeks Shutter-Shock Challenge:

You task, should you accept it, is to find and photograph images of spring.  Now I know, some of you are on the opposite side of the planet, so YOUR task, is to find and photograph signs the seasons are changing!  We want to see whats it is like at your home right now, while ours is bursting with colors and new growth!

So take your pics, blog em, up em to our ShutterShock Flikr Group, and come on back here and drop us a link to see um!

man, what is all that hazing on there?  Oh well.

For the Color Challenge this week:

The challenge: create a card, craft, scrapbook page, digiscrap page, kit, or freebie using the colors above.  This week I chose the colors of SPRING! woohoo!

Post your submission on your blog and come right on back here and link us up! 

and now to REALLY fire some of you up…

I finally saw Twilight.  Gotta LOVE netflix!  Anyway,  it was “ok”.  I don’t get the hooplah about it though.  I’m desperately hoping the books are better then the movie (Since I bought them all).  I just dont get the “addiction”  I mean, I know people that went and saw this at the movies like 10 times.  Though I watched the film, I have to say its a “watch it at home” movie.  I would have been pi$$ed if I’d have paid $10 to see it at the theater. $3 rental maybe, but not $10.

I loved seeing Peter Fier-o-however you spell it.  I loved  him in “Fastlane” and was really sad the show got canceled. 

The main vampire guy, he was (yes I admit) kind of “hot”, but I have to tell you why.  He much reminded me of my Joaquin.  Not crazy, cracked out Joaquin of today.  But sexy quiet Joaquin of 8mm/the Village.  *sigh*  Man what a train wreck. 

Oh back on topic. 

I did watch the whole movie.  Props to me, yay. lol.  I was sad there was not more action.  The only scene I can say I thoroughly enjoyed was the car scene.  Yeah! Drive that thang brotha’!  Other then that…  NOT impressed.  Sorry ladies.  Let the flame fest begin.  lol.

*oh, note the new song today?  I DO love the soundtrack!  thats a plus right?!!!

OK, Im  outtie.  I will do something CRAFTY today if it kills me.  Right after I change out laundry loads, load the dishwasher, mop the bathrooms (grrr I hate living with guys sometimes!), and finish a pc repair job.  THEN Im going to craft.  I swear it!

First, I made a mini for DSOs Color Challenge.  The colors were great for a little girl, and my mind was screaming Sugar and Spice.  But once I got past the papers, all the mojo ran away and I was left to my imagination. LOL.

I drew up some little ballet slippers, and a couple of doodles, and added a few other embellies.

• 4 paper
• 2 plain swirly doodle
• 1 button
• 1 ballerina slippers sticker
• 1 ribbon type thingy
• 1 butterfly
• 1 flower clip thingy
• 1 strap clip thingy
