Backyard Nudist

OK, apparently not only has my embellishing mojo gone on vacation but it's taken my storytelling mojo with it.  I just couldn't figure out how to start this post.  Sheesh! 

I'm sure we all have pics of the little kiddies au natural in the yard, LOL!  Before we had our pool The Boy liked to play with the hose on the patio and watch all the bugs crawl up out of the grass.  His little toddler tushie is so adorable but couldn't just splash it all of the internet, of course, so you get the censored version. 

Made this with more of the Ninja Addicts' "Sing for the Moment" kit.  Seriously my fave one so far.  The colors are just perfect. 

Hope you're having a great summer so far!!

Sketchy Favorites

March 2011 issue

I love EVERYTHING about this layout. 

I know, I know...it's pretty simple.  But it encompasses some of my favorite things right now...

I LOVE this Sketchy Thursdays sketch by Diana (who happens to be one of my favorite people):

OK, so I knocked it on it's side...but that's what's so awesome about this sketch - it's great from any angle!

I love the subject of the layout, my favorite shoes.  Again, simple.  I was motivated to commemorate these shoes by the These Are a Few of My Favorite Things blog run by another one of my favorite people, Julie!  They're giving away TWENTY-EIGHT (28) prizes for the "These Are My Favorite Shoes" prompt which runs through the 14th!!!!!  Why???  Because the site is being featured in an article in Scrap Street Magazine!!  Woohoo!!!!  Congrats!!!!!

And the colors on this layout are one of my fave combos - green, white, & yellow.  It just makes me happy.  And guess what???  Every single thing on this layout is made from the June Ninja Addicts kit "Sing For the Moment". 

I had such a hard time narrowing down exactly which embellies to use because they're all perfect.  I'm pretty sure they made this kit especially for me.  ;oD 

OK, everything on the layout is from the kit except this one little pin:

There are even some other fave things in my picture.  The view of the tree from my scrap table which is home to the crankiest starling ever - he's so much fun to watch, my clean scrap table (!), my yummy green iPod, and a completed layout (it's always nice to have finished ones, eh?).   Oh, and I think by now you know how much I love picnik.com.  The picture was edited and the text added using picnik.  So simple!!

So, there you have it.  Lots o' my faves all wrapped up in one neat little layout. 

I would love to see you come play along with us over on Sketchy Thursdays.  And check out what our DT made for your inspiration.  I love how varied we all are in our styles and interpretations. 

And don't miss out on playing along with TAAFOMFT!! 

Have a great day!

Pink Ninjas Kick Ass!

I am so HONORED to have been chosen to be a Pink Ninja again!!!!  The Pink Ninja community is full of the most awesome, sweet, bad ass, funny, amazing, amazingly talented people ever. 

The newest Pink Ninjas are a rad compilation of current, past, and brand new chicks:

Ninja Master Ally
Ninja Master Nely
April
Sarah
Michelle
Lynnette
Christina
Emily
Mo

and Moi:

So, all us Ninjas answered a few get-to-know-you seriously random questions.  Here are my answers:

1 - where do you live??  Gilbert, Arizona

2 - favorite etsy shop??  Ninja Addicts, of course! And Design By Diana.

3 - what did you do last night??   ummm...same old weeknight ritual getting the kids fed, bathed, read to, and into bed. then i watched glee for the first time ever. got room in the viewing schedule now that lost is over.

4 - do you have a crush?? we wanna know more,,,    after 20 years i still think the hubs is a hottie. top of my celebrity "freebie" list is taye diggs, has been ever since he was in "how stella got her groove back". and i'm getting to get to be a diry old lady. a couple of the boys from "big time rush" are eyebrow-poppers and damn! taylor lautner makes me all gooey. i'm still team edward on paper but team jacob on the big screen. mm mm good.

5 - are you tatted?? if yes, share,,,   i have a crescent moon with a kanji for "strength" on my bicep. even though the two things make one tattoo the image meanings are mutually exclusive. someday when i have disposable income again i plan on a few more.

6 - wal-mart or target??   target all the way!!!!! i love that little dog Bullseye!!!!!

7 - tell me something random about yourself -   i'm a control freak when it comes to driving. i must drive. i'm ambidextrous (although since i don't practice writing with my left hand, the handwriting sux...it's legible but ugly. i can do most other things with both hands, though). i can say the abc's just as fast backwards as forwards. (and no, i didn't learn it for sobriety tests!) so would that be my zyx's? i'm double jointed and very bendy (channeling phoebe here). i can bend my thumb BACK to touch the top of my wrist. i once had a personal trainer convinced there was something wrong with his flexibility test because i tested so flexible. i'm just as *&#!%$@ salty as any sailor out there!

8 - in which era do you belong??   the end of the 60s. it was ok to be a strong woman while staying home with the kids.

9 - first kiss??  the best feeling there is. eye-closing, breath-catching, stomach-swooping bliss. wish i could get another one.


Check out the Pink Ninja blog to read the other Ninjas answers.  They're so much fun! 

Our first prompt as a new group goes up next Wednesday 6/9.  We're returning to the old prompt format of "just a prompt" so you all can interpret and create from it whatever your heart desires.  Hope to see you play along!!!!!!

And make sure you check out the newest Ninja Addicts kit "Sing For the Moment".   The colors are so yummy!!!!

Have a Ninjalicious Wednesday!
