I think I've started a post like this before. When someone says, "what had happened wuz" you know you are in for a treat...lol, I just like the way it sounds lol.
Yesterday when Toya got home, she called me, I was still at work, SUFFERING lol, and she was scrapping....well about to scrap. Now NORMALLY when she is scrapping and I'm still at work, I get all kinds of fired up, then I am ready to scrap too...NOT THIS TIME. LOL, so I left work, came home, got the mail, did the normal thing....got my new Essence Mag in the mail (btw, doesn't Terrance Howard look a LOT like Eva Pigford from America's Next Top Model?
Damn. He does.
LOL. ANYWAY, dang, where was I? Oh ok...got my mag in the mail...talked to Ronalyn for a little while,(love how its 6pm here and 3pm in Alaska lol)( tee hee, glad you clicked "send") while Jaelyn and Kayla did homework......blah...sooooooo, I opened my mag and OMG, I see this AD. LOVED it. I felt my scrapping mojo. It has been on vacation. Seriously. So I start working on this LO...posted on the Scrap Etc board that I FINALLY have my mojo, called Virginia to share my excitement....she is excited...woo hooo....then it hits. Jaelyn needs more help with her SAT Prep...Hmmm, ok. LOL. I didn't finish until after 9!! Yes PM. No, they did NOT get in bed early lol...so my mojo was GONE. LOL...but I am going to try and get by the store today so I can get some more paper to use......LOL....I guess I will have a LO or two or three soon? Like VERY soon? Let's keep our fingers crossed...lol
Then, OMG, I got an email from McCall's....OMG...It was like 9 in Philly and I was PRAYING Toya wasn't asleep...tee hee, yep had to share with my girl lol...I have to check to make sure the patterns are still on sale...HOPEFULLY they have them....I am feelin these...
This one looks really comfy...very nice......
Too cute! Just SCREAMS summer lol (yeah I know I'm being goofy, but I really do need to be asleep lol)
Love the skirt......not the pocket.......
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this one! Looks SO comfy!!!!! In a soft cotton knit...hmmmmm, yeah. I'm addicted to collecting patterns. LOL. These are def coming home sometime soon lol.
In other news. I am DYING to show you guys this....
LOL....Tomorrow's IW will feature this here thing. IF I finish it. It is ALMOST done. And I do mean ALMOST!!!!!! Look at my little percentage bar lol....tee hee
The girls had another photo shoot yesterday. Aj was playing on the computer, but when he saw the pics he said...mommy, where am I? I told him...you were playing on the computer...he proceeded <---is that spelled right? to pout lol.... anyway, they were showing different emotions and what not lol...here are a couple of my favorites.. OH, and I had my ISO WAAAAYYY up there at 1600, 17-40L (LOVE MY LENS) lol...just playing around....tee hee... from here on out...if the pic has a frame around it, I took it, and unless otherwise noted...they are SOOC (straight out of camera, no enhacements..)

I think your girls are practicing for America's Next Top Model! LOL! They are really cute. I can't wait for tomorrow and some inspiration. I bought two patterns this weekend. I can't wait to share them with you!

The Eva and Terrance thing is too funny. Your daughters are truly beautiful, and i just loved the cute sewing maching.I can't wait to try another child again someday :)
So how have u been?? i saw that u stopped by and checked out my pics :) thanks

Those patterns are too cute, especially love the first top and those capris. I sure wished I could sew! My grandmother was an awesome seamstress and with her that legacy died. I am going to try, my hand at it and see where it leads. I love tailored clothing, so I would save myself a fortune, if I could sew. You should sew the girls a dress for Easter, now that would be fun!!!
Adrienne, you gotta call me sometime girl! I swear we are too much alike! Dana
