I'm still recovering...

from VEGAS!! We definatley had a great time and I'm still not 100% in the sleep department. I just dont' think my 34 (soon to be 35) year old body was made to live like a rock star. I went to Las Vegas with my friends Stephanie, Lisa, & Krista and it was awesome. Lisa came from Georgia and Krista came from Ohio. We stayed at the Paris hotel which was pretty cool. We got in Thursday night and went out to a club at the Wynn hotel called Tryst. Very cool place, but man was it pricey. 4 drinks cost $65.... UGH! Needless to say I didn't have just one that night and I paid for it dearly the next day. On Friday we hung out, went shopping, looked at the other hotels and then went to a club called Tao at the Venetian. We ended up sitting in a skybox with some friends of friends and we had the royal VIP treatment. It was amazing. I came home at 3:30 am, Stephanie came back at 5 am and then the other 2 stayed out until 8 am... Pure Craziness I tell you! Anyway, it was so nice to see my friends and relive my youth LOL. I came home, told Jeff all about it and the next thing I know he made reservations for us to go next weekend AGAIN!!! Of course this time will be a little calmer because I am going with my husband and another couple.

As for scrapping, I got 2 pages done this week:

Ok Ellie is waking up and I need to get to Costco.. the trick is can I get out of there for under $100.... doubt it. Adios Amigas!!!

I've been MIA....kind of

So I'm really struggling with finding the right balance lately. I want to work on my designs, do some scrapbook pages, play my video games, spend time with my family and also fit work in. The problem is that there are only SO many hours a day of free time and deciding which to do is really hard. The past 2 weeks I have been all about designing and my games. I only did 2 pages this week for scrapbooking and that was yesterday and today :( I miss it terribly. I was reading Amy's blog.. she took a week off of everything and in a way I kind of feel like I did too. Of course she found a more deeper meaning to it, where I was just goofing off play a game. I do miss my blog buddies and it's amazing what a week away will do.. you feel so far behind! It's so weird how you feel like you really know these other people just by reading their blogs.. kind of like diaries that are open to the public!!

So I'm back... at least back to scrapping :)

I am heading out to Vegas this Thursday for 2 nights. I meeting one of my best friends from Georgia and her friends.. we are going to have a blast!! I can't wait!!!! Here are the 2 pages I did get done. The first one is for Laura's Team using her new Bobby Socks Kit and the second one is from Heather Roselli's new Father Knows Best Kit.. both are at the Digichick.

Where to begin?????

My I have so much to share!! First of all last weekend was my 2nd anniversary and Jeff bought me a beautiful diamond pendent necklace. I almost fell out of my chair. I on the other hand got him a shirt. LOL. Go figure. Seems like whenever he goes all out, I go with the basics and vice versa. I'm not complaining though.. I love my necklace!! Here is a pic of it:

Then we went out to a cool little wine bar for dinner and wine (of course). It was so yummy!!! All together a very great night and I can't believe we have been married for 2 years already!

My other exciting news: I applied to rakscraps to be on their element team as a temporary member for the summer. The next thing I know I'm on the permament team!! UGH!! I'm so excited and thrilled and then also scared to death!! What if the stuff I make stinks?!! Really though I'm so excited. In fact I already started making my contributions for the June mega kit!!!

Yesterday was Robin's big 30 Birthday!!! Happy birthday Robin!

As far as scrapbooking, I am sooooooo far behind. My main computer is so loaded with stuff that it keeps shutting off. I'm busy going through things getting rid of some stuff, transferring stuff to CDs and just trying to get organized. My laptop is working great, but of course none of my scrapbooking stuff is on it yet.. only the new stuff. So that's my excuse for not doing any LOs for a week!!! UGH. (oh and yes I've been playing my game too!!!!) I can't even remember the last Chick's LIfe page I did!!

Ok here is a question for all of you 12x12 scrappers out there... where do you print??? I usually print at Costco, but I'm looking for something I can do online and then have them sent to me. I don't want to pay an arm and a leg, so if you have any suggestions let me know.

Check out the new Avatar challenge at Rakscraps, I just posted it today. Time to show off your Dads!!!!

And with all of that, I'm out of here. I'm only working 3 days now for the summer, so hopefully I can actually get caught up. LOL sure!
