Scrapbook Trends Toot! ****if you want to read this post in "Ghizzogle" please click on this link SO damn funny, I almost peed my pants! Ghizzogle will translate it in gangsta talk***** One of my faves called "Fabulous, Crazy & Cool" got picked up by Scrapbook Trends! Ooooooooooh my girl Shelley will be so stoked cuz she's in it! Got that off in the mail yesterday! I sprinted (ok not really sprinted) to the Post office yesterday for that and made a pit stop at my LSS............check out these beyond adorable stamps!!! Yummy Hero Arts Flower stamps! Watch out for these babies in upcoming projects, I'll be sure to inject them into my layouts and cards! Hello CUTENESS! Got some scrappin' done last night....decided to finally tackle some Halloween layouts and ya know, I only had scraps of halloween KI paper and one piece of Karen Foster Halloween themed paper! In all my stash of papers, I couldn't believe I didn't have any much holiday theme...

Yep. love him to bits. Even though he can drive me crazy. my baby. Jaden. :)

These layouts were made for a Design Team assignment over at Leaving-Memories.com. Kathy's march kit includes the fabulous OH GIRL papers by Basic Grey. Fabulous kit that also includes Basic Grey Paisley Rubons, SEI Cardstock Stickers, assortment of cute felt flowers, buttons, pretty bright coordinating cardstock and other little goodies! Check them out! It will be my last kit that I will be using as a DT member at L-M. Shout out to Kathy and the Fab DT there......I had a blast working with you girls!!!

Looking forward to seeing you guys in April at the Scrap ETC Event in Alabama. I can't believe that it is only 5 weeks away!! Wendy Girl Designs I was asked toda...

Last night I took Jaden to Doctors on Duty. I hate that place but he had a really high fever and was compaining that his ear hurt. Diagosis: Ear Infection, Cold. Got the meds and got home just in time to nuke a hot dog and watch American Idol!!!!! I like the list format I did last week so we be doing that again! 1. Mandisa................loved her hair and outfit choice. Never heard that song before, so I coudn't compare it to the original at all. She was very Big Band to me, overall a good powerhouse performance. The girl is staying forshizzle! 2. Bucky, oh Bucky. It's time for this fella to kick rocks. Well, at least he didn't have Jessika Simpson chick hair this week. It totally looked like he was drunk to me. And all his funky microphone hand tricks were not helping the situation. Not good at all. 3. Paris.......this little chick is really an older woman that probably went to the fountain of youth and is disgusing herself as a 17 year old. That is the only explanation I...

The Scrappin' Mojo was flowin' yesterday! I had a blast creating these layouts yesterday! I chilled at home, had the day off and scrapped my bootie off! Loved getting more into the new Basic Grey papers! Yummy mix of patterns and colors. LOVIN' IT! The SMILE layout is another photo swap, this one is for Kelli! American Idol Ok, I'm late here but here are my thoughts on the results show. WTF! That is what I thought when Ace was put in the bottom. I cannot believe that he was put there over Kevin!!!!!!!!! The world has gone to hell in a handbasket. Chicken little's fan base is crazy or someone is playing an evil trick with the AI votes. That was just not right. My jaw hit the floor! Like seriously! After my mild heart attack, Melissa was voted into the bottom 3 too. I was OK with that decision, I mean she did mess up Deanna's song and all. ;) Then the next blow. WTFx2! Lisa voted into the bottom? LISA? Comefriken on People! I thought it would have been Bucky at l...

Here is the first swap! This is Morgan, son to Kim! Such an adorable little subject to scrapbook! Look at all that pudge! Love it! Working on number two of the swap....will post soon! :) American Idol.......... So last night was the top 12 show!!!!!!!!! I was so pumped to watch! Here is just a running list of thoughts about the show: 1. Taylor Hicks.........the dude is so cool in an old school kind of way. Funny dancing but I was diggin it! 2. Katherine McPhee......so pretty, beautiful voice....love her. Kept singing that song the rest of the evening. I really don't care for those empire waist dresses, she looked preggers. 3. Chris......Can he do no wrong????????? Plus the dude is hot. Nuff said. 4. Paris.......great stage presence, awesome voice. She's a mini powerhouse! Loved her cute little outfit and shoes.......didn't like her two pony tail hair during rehersals, at all....reminded me of a cocker spaniel??? Loved the curly bob instead. 5. Kellie Pickler is...

It's my Mom's Birthday! Happy Birthday Mom! I love you! Look at this lady............this was last year at her 70th birthday bash we threw for her. It was such a great evening........family, friends, awesome food and mariachis! We'll be going to dinner tonight to celebrate this awesome woman I'm blessed to have as my Mom. :) Christina

I will be swappin' pics with: Kim (kimca01 @ Scrapjazz) Kellie (scrapconvic @ Scrapjazz) Katie (Junkitz DT Member) Kristi Sauer (sweetandsauer@ Scrapjazz) Julia (Blue Crew Member) Coolio!!!!!!! I'll be emaililng ya soon! UPDATE!!!!!!!! Adding one more to the list! Jaime Warren! American Idol Dudes........ Can someone tell Gideon that when you paint on a piece of stretched canvas, your supposed to use the front, not the back where the wood frame is???????? And.....how funny is his speaking voice? Cracks me up! I really don't care for him but I think he's staying. Ace, as far as I'm concerned, he ACED it! I'm kind of upset that he didn't take my suggestion of Truly, Madly, Deeply...HA! He did sing a kinda unknown Michael Jackson song, but I loved it and the "FALSE" as our Dawg Randy says, was HOT! Loved him in is skull cap too, oh and the ACE Stare at the end. Awesomeness. I did like Taylor also. He...

Seeing Elise's recent photo swap with Danielle Thompson and most recently a photo swap over at Alex's blog.............got me thinking. Hmmmmmmm, this sounds like fun!!!!! If anyone is interested in doing a photo swap with me, shoot me over an email or comment here! Wouldn't it be fun? He's Safe in Daddy's Arms This is one I did last night. I put it together, took it apart and re did it. I wanted to use my Heidi Swapp mask but I didnt' have any spray paint and I just made a freaking mess with acrylic paint............so therefore, it called for a re-do. Well, more like a start over. Really happy with the results. I left it on the kitchen table last night so David would see it when he got up at the crack of dawn for his morning coffee before work. He called me at about 10 a.m. to tell me how much he loved it! So sweet. American Idol Tonight is American Idol!!!!!!!!!! WHOOOOOOOOO!! I'm totally excited!! Let's see how they do!!!!!!! Looking foward to good p...

In celebration of my blog "Dudley's" 5,000 mark, I got it a cake! Nah, I'm kidding. This was my birthday cake from 2/11. But still, it is a joyous occasion that I must celebrate!!!!!!!! And another reason to pull out the cake picture................................ ************************************************************************************ SHOUT OUT to my big brother Freddy!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Happy Bday BRO! Love you, Man! ************************************************************************************ Chicken Pox Update My Jaden is finally getting better. Still kind of icky but back to his jumping off the walls normal self. Hopefully he won't end up with scars from the pox. Look at him, poor thing. :( American Idol Nah NAH na NAAAAAAAAAA, YEEEEAAAHHH YEEEEAAHHH Goooodbye!!!!!!!!!!! Bu-bye Brenna! Glad to see you, your hidious poses and my pooo smells like roses attitude, GONE! and no Sistah, Clive Davis will not be calling you to make you the next Kelly ...

And it's Dudley. Yep, my blog comment on itself yesterday saying it was a sad blog since I have been neglecting it. Kim: thanks for the kick in the pants........and your a friggen riot. Question for ya, why in the heck did you think Dudley was an appropriate name for my blog? Don't ya think that Diva or Diamond (keeping the "D" theme) would have been better??? lol (if anyone needs clarification about this please see the comments section in my last post) ************************************************************************************ EASY BUTTON Ya know those commercials with the Easy Button that people press to make things easier for them. Well, if I had one I would have been pressing the hell out of it. Chicken pox and a 2 year old is pure misery. He's had fevers, no appetite, he's a big 'ol grouch and just not fun these days. Hard nights of him crying too. AAAAAAAAAH the joys of parenthood. His pox have started to dry out now on day 5. He looks prett...
