Just Being Me.

Yay New Computer!

Quick post:

1. I got a new computer! My awesome friend built it for me; and it is just incredible! Which means I can finally live up to being an awesome blogger.

2. I have a totally new scrap area; it takes up half my living room--its fabulous; pictures to follow.

3. I went on a date on Saturday; it was pretty amazing. Possibly the best food I've ever eaten; an insanely wonderful concert; and then an authentic Philly cheesesteak. omg. so cool

4. Now that my life is totally going in one direction again (for the most part); I hope to be scrapping a lot more and be around here a lot more!

5. I leave you with two photos I took (with my iPhone nonetheless) at the concert on Saturday!

Till laters!

Lazy Sunday Afternoon

Happy Sunday to everyone; and Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers out there. I'm going to head up to see my own mother in a little while. She's still in the hospital, but apparently she's doing pretty well.

Yesterday CD and I went to the Philadelphia Zoo, we had a really good time and I took some pretty awesome pictures. My favorites are below!

I leave for Atlanta in just a couple days; and I am NO where ready to go. I'm not nervous at all; which is pretty good. I'm really very very excited to get out of Jersey and hang out with the girls for a weekend. I think we are going to have such a good time!!! Now lets just see if we get any actual scrapbooking done hehe.

Thank you so so much for looking! Talk to you all soon!

hi hi everyone!

Hey everyone; hope you all had a great NSD!
There is actually a lot going on in my life; and I'll give everyone a quick run down of the things that I'm ready to talk about publicly.

My mom is having surgery today; as some of you remember she was really really sick the end of last year into this year; and today she goes for her final surgery to correct everything once and for all; so my thoughts are with her today. I love you lots mommy.

I'm going to Atlanta next week! omg I am SO SO SO SO SO excited. I totally 100% need a girls weekend and to get the hell out of Jersey for a bit. Jersey darling; I love you; but absence makes the heart grow fonder.

Work is going really well; I enjoy it a lot.

Samantha is almost ready to have her second baby! Its going to be a girl, and her name is going to be Lucy. I'm very very very excited at the prospect of scrapping a new baby girl!!

I've made a few changes in my life outlook; I've decided that I need to embrace who I am right now; and not necessarily worry about growing up too quickly. I mean; its going to happen whether I want it to or not; so I might as well get as much out of my youth as I can!

There is a lot going on in my personal life right now; its a bit topsy turvy, but I'm really really happy. Once everything settles down some; I'm sure I will share with everyone all of the things that are going on; and most of what has gone on.

Here are a couple NSD layouts that I worked on over the weekend!

Till later!

Quick Couple of Things.

I'm just here real quick; I have a zillion things to do before tomorrow and its already 3:30 in the morning!

Firstly; I was over at Ali Edward's Blog; and she posted this link about the Autism Society of America and AMC theaters teaming up to show some sensory friendly films. How totally cool is that? Stuff like that just makes me so friggin happy.

Second; I wanted to share a layout that I made last week for Tamara's recipe challenge. The recipe was:

Stitching, real or faux
rub-ons
a winged thing(bird, butterfly, fairy, etc.)

I hope you are all excited for National Scrapbooking Day! I'm going to my aunt's house to hang with my mom and my aunt for a while; I have a bunch of stuff I need to get done. But I'm really excited, and like I said before---everyone should totally hit up the Freak and check out their cyber crop; they are always awesome!!

some photos.

Here are a couple pictures I've taken recently. They aren't necessarily good pictures; just a couple that I decided to throw up here. I've been trying to put forth a good faith effort in taking pictures as much as possible.

Since its been so unbearably hot this past weekend; I decided that there really was no better place to be but on the beach down the shore. I was able to get down there twice in the past few days; and the weather was just absolutely incredible. I'm so happy that its getting warmer out and I can hang outside a lot more! It just feels so good to be outside.

Like I said in my last post; I was in an accident on Friday night. A bunch of people from work decided that we would hit up midnight bingo in Old Bridge; unfortunately there was bumper to bumper traffic on route 18 south and we were in a multi car collision :/. We weren't able to make it to bingo; but everyone was alright---and that was the most important thing.

Going to the diner at 2am. Such a Jersey thing ;)

Hope everyone is well prepared for National Scrapbooking Day!! I'm going to my aunt's house to scrapbook with her and my mom. The chicklets over at the Freak are having an awesome NDS cyber crop. They always rock the crops; so you should totally head over there and check it out! Hopefully I'll have some more projects to show you in the next few days! I really need to catch up with my creativity!

Sorrie!!!!!!!

Okay, so I have a totally legit excuse. I totally crashed my computer---and when I say crashed; I mean dropped on the corner of the table and cracked the screen! It took a good 3-4 weeks to get it sent out and fixed and back to me and so forth. But I'm back now yay!

For the most part; I've been twittering a lot more than blogging; and I'll probably continue to do that; its just so much easier. But I think I can mobile blog on here too; so I'll try to get to that as well. :D

My life has been a little bit topsy turvy; I got into a car accident on Friday :/. I'll upload some pictures tomorrow; everyone is okay; just bumps and bruises.

I'll leave you with my new GJS book; its a 4x4 wooden mini with a circle cut out in the front. Most of it is done with the Prima "Youth" line; I really enjoyed working with the book and the papers!

I'll try to update more often! Even if its only mobile blogging with some cute iphone pictures!

Sorry!!! I'm back! I'm here! I swear!

Hey everyone;
sorry that I haven't been around much at all lately. Working has put a bit of a damper on my, "sit around and play on the internet" time lol; and I stayed in bed the entirety of last weekend with an awful cold.

Work is going well; thanks for everyone that has been asking about it. I'm actually really enjoying it. I don't care too too much for waking up at 7am; but I should be shifted to nights sometime soon. And nights aren't even really nights; its 11:30am to 8pm, which I think--hopefully--will be a much better schedule for me. I'm much more creative at night and so winding down at like 10pm and getting in bed by 11 just isnt working for my scrappy mojo.

Angela's Stampin' Up party got rescheduled to this Friday cause her kiddos had the awful terrible flu; I finished making up most of the cards we're going to be making (they are all my original designs); and I can't wait to share them with you all after the party!! Remember Sale-a-bration only lasts until the end of the month; so get your orders in soon!

Tomorrow my UPS guy is going to bring my Studio Calico kit!! I am so so so excited! I was orginially supposed to get it on Friday; but they rescheduled it :( So I will totally be rushing my butt home from work tomorrow and diggin into it! ESPECIALLY since I got most of my work done tonight!!! I even pre-started tomorrow night's dinner!!! Yay for fun time!

Here are a couple of my latest layouts that I've worked on; some using last month's Studio Calico Kit; some with some of the new CC Girl Friday (which is SO awesome). Thanks for looking!!!

Alrighty; well I'm heading to bed now, try to talk to you all on a little bit more of a regular basis! Thanks so much for looking!!

Oh! and PS; I tend to update my twitter a lot more often (I can do it really easy from my iPhone) so follow me on there!! My name over there is rukristin!!!

Talk to you all laters!!!
