Get your Paper Life freebie today!

It is CHA time and I am loving all of the sneak peeks and give aways!! Amy Coon at The Paper Life joining in and giving away a free printable from her awesome store! Go here to download and print these adorable journaling spots!  I love how you are able to print your paper and embellishments right at home from your computer. All you need is white cardstock!  I created a mini book with her "Just Beachy" line. 

My husband left for Haiti this past Sunday for a pest control mission trip with the NPMA.  He is scheduled to come home today, but like Sunday, his flights have been delayed/cancelled. He was supposed to come home this afternoon but now is scheduled to get in at 8:40pm. Please pray he gets in on time!  The kids and I are going to pick him up..I know they are looking forward to it.  I've missed him a lot!

So in the meantime, I'm cleaning house/doing laundry. All of the fun things us housewives get to do!  I hope to sneak in some creating time later.  Although we have an open house this weekend and my scrapbook room looks near perfect LOL

Next Monday afternoon, my friend Malika and I, are headed up to Rosemont for the summer CHA show!! Cannot wait! We are having dinner with our friends from The Scrapbooking Studio in Moline, as well as..Tammy Tutterow. :)  Never met her before but am  big fan!!   I'm excited to see all of the new paper lines and goodies that are coming out!! 

Curious to see what are some of your favorites?

It's hot out there...




Central Illinois has been hit with its first official heatwave of the summer!  Can't say I'm very excited about it either.  I love summer, but really dread the humidity (unless I'm poolside).

It's been a busy week around here...we've had two showings, plus an open house today. I feel like all I have been doing lately is cleaning!  LOL  Praying that we get an offer soon...both my husband and I would like to be moved before the new school year starts. But, we've always prayed for God's will...so its in His time, not ours.  :) 

Our daughter, Hailey, is at her first overnight church camp this weekend. I got to have lunch with her today. She is having fun but I know she will be worn out when she gets home, not to mention starving. The girl is so picky...she's hardly eaten anything.  I promised her a good dinner out, as well as a major scrubdown when she gets home LOL 

During the open house, my husband took our son to see Cars 2 (again)...since I was kidless I splurged and got a much needed mani/pedi. :) 
Since its so hot outside, I'm going to share this 7gypsies accordian book I did with the Lucky Girl Crafts' June kit "Hullabaloo".  I love all of the colors and it was a lot of fun to work with!  (BTW, I think I've had this 7gypsies album for ages....shows how much of a scraphoarder I am! LOL).















Everyone have a fun and safe 4th of July weekend!!
