BUSY BUSY BUSY......

So a BIG SORRY to all of you who check my blog on a regular basis...I have been super busy last weekend...got sick this week.....and had another crazy weekend. Last weekend I had my friend Teresa's bachelorette party We had a total blast. We had a hotel room downtown, we went on a margarita boat cruise, dinner, and then went to the bars. It was a FABULOUS night!!! The next morning I had to get up and go to my cousins bridal shower.

so that was my crazy last weekend. Then I got that cold/allergy bug that has been going around.

On Thursday I went and got my hair done by my fabulous hairdresser Katie (she always makes me look great!) I was planning to just keep my hair the same way, but Katie talked me into changing it. (although it really doesn't take much to convince me....I change my hair a lot)
So here is a picture I took of myself of my new hair-do

So my hair is back to dark...it is like an auburn color. So it has some red in it. I LOVE it as do a lot of my family and friends. The wedding I am in this coming Saturday has olive green dresses so Katie thought this color would be great with the dress.

This weekend I had my cousins Shower/Bachelorette party (and while I was at her party I was missing a different bridal shower. I made Bryan and Teresa a clock for their shower gift

We had a great time this weekend. My cousin had a really nice bachelorette party. I will post some pictures of her bachelorette party this week.....because I feel like this post is getting pretty long....but hopefully this gets everyone caught up on what I have been doing.

BINGO!

Last week was the 1st time I played bingo. I went to potawatomi with my mom and two of her friends. I had some much FUN! We had a ton of games to play ~ I had no idea...I played 9 times in each game and I played about 25 games. We were there for about 3 -31/2 hours. We all had a great time and the time got better when one of my mom's friends won bingo and won $1000!!!! It was so thrilling! and I didn't even win anything.

Being a Kid...

Last week I got a surprise call to watch my lil Avery ~ I was so Excited! I love hanging out with her ~ she is a great kid. We played with Play-doh and had a blast. She tried to eat a lil bit of it too. It was so much fun playing with it. It reminded me of being little and only worry about what toy to play with...I Love that childhood innocence. It made me so happy to see her get so excited about playing with toys. She is growing up so fast and I am so thrilled that I get to see her grow and I get to be a part of her life!

I also did some scrapbooking this week. I had time to do a little for myself and I work on some gifts too. I did a page about Milwaukee ~ using some new MME paper, AC Thickers (love them) and Love Elsie Stamps. I also did an 8x8 page of the William Pub in Florence, Italy. I used the new MME paper.

That is about it for now. I need to get some rest ~ I go back to school tomorrow...

I LOVE U!

Today I didn't do too much. I ended up scrapbooking part of the day. I worked on my cousin's bridal shower invites. I needed to take a little break from them and decided to finally do this little clipboard. I went with a picture of my lil Avery because let's face it ~ she is just so CUTE ~ I can't get enough of her!!! There really isn't much to this clipboard (it probably 5" by 10") I ended up using some of my favorite things ~ doodlebug sugar coated paper (glitter glitter glitter) Love Elsie ribbon and stickers (b/c she Rocks!) and MAMBI bling hearts ~ because really you can never have enough bling - glitz - or sparkle!

This is one of my favorite things I have done lately...hopefully you all enjoy it too!

Rain, Rain...Go Away...

I'm in a blue mood...I think it must be all this rain. It has been raining almost nonstop for the past few days and it looks like (@ least as the weathermen predict) it is going to be continuing for the next few days...All I want to do is stay inside, watch movies and scrapbook.
Earlier in the week I helped my cousin (along with some others) work on addressing and stuffing her wedding invitations.

My Aunt asked if I would make my cousin's bridal shower invites. So know I am in the process of making about 40 invites that need to be done this week. I have a lil mock-up made ~ so I'm feeling a lil less overwhelmed. thank goodness...

On Saturday night, Rach and I went to the Brewers game with my aunts and uncle. It was a Great game! My new love had a good game too...:)

I love going to brewer games, I am really contemplating getting some season tickets next year.

Nothing else really going on....hopefully I will get some scrapping done tomorrow and will post some stuff soon. Have a Marvelous Monday!
