WELCOME TO BLOGABELLA

it’s BELLARIFIC FRIDAY!!!

and how are my sistahs?

Well today is an inspiration day.. I just LOVE inspiration days.. it gets DA JOOCES flowing..

So last night Jayden let my doggie Frankie out.. when she went to let him back in she started shrieking at the top of her lungs saying raccoon raccoon!! OMG I got up so fast in fear of Frankie being eaten and as I got up I pulled a muscle in my leg  and now I am walking whilst holding the walls to keep the pressure off… P.S. no raccoon and Frankie is fine and my daughter almost got a whippin’ LOL.

ok now for some winnahs!

GLUEBOOK wennnnsday on WENNNNSDAY! lol

Hiya sistahs..

Every morning as I get the kidlets ready for school, pack their lunches and give them brekky, I settle down while they eat with my mini pocket sketch moleskine and just start gluing.  I have organizers full of goodies and I just pick and choose and move stuffs around to make it look good in my eye.  Let me tell you… Having done this for the past 4 mornings have let me release my creativeness LOL and help me focus for the rest of the day.. not sure if that makes any sense but it works for me!

So here are a few of my pages I have done.  I hope it inspires you and hope you will join in!  If you post on instagram, just use #minigluebook and I will find your work that way too!

Played around with a birdie on tracing paper and vintage goodness..

hiya sistahs!  I MADE IT!  WE MADE IT!  LOL.. we went to Pittsburgh and had an amazing time.  We got to know some amazing kids and some amazing parents on our team and really bonded.  I swear these families are like our second family as we spend so much time with them and this trip just sealed the deal and made us realize how really amazing they are 🙂

Tyler’s team won 2 out of the 4 games .. didn’t win the championship but those little morales were raised and they were thrilled 🙂  That’s all I wanted!

So now I’m back and life is back on track and here is Bellarific friday!  I am so sorry for the delay

I tried and tried to get bellarific
Friday done but I couldn’t finish. I will have it up on Monday 🙂
Mwah to da sistahs who are NOT on a bus to Pittsburgh 🙂

its GLUEBOOK wednesday on THURSDAY

Hiya sistahs.. sorry I am a day late.. this week has been a whirlwind and did I mention I have to prepare for a big weekend coming up?? yep.  I am going on my first HOCKEY TOURNAMENT to Pittsburgh tomorrow at 5:00 am.  7 hours in a bus with 15 hoodlums (lol).. and 4 games and lots of travel.  I am asking you which valium cocktail you think I should inhale?  LOL.  I am excited but at the same time I am feeling ANXIETY for a 7 hour trip on a bus.  LOL.  I BEGGED and PLEADED with Ryan and Tyler to PLEASE allow us to take our own car.. I was sat down very nicely and told that we are going for the “EXPERIENTH” (yes tyler still has a cute lisp)… and that we can’t miss a minute of bus time etc.  hmph.  I waTH (was) outvoted-ETH.  So I have downloaded a new book to my ipad called GONE GIRL (has anyone read it)? And I am hoping that my valium cocktail, my overtiredness and my book will keep me calm.

OK so that’s what’s going on in my perTHonal life (it’s hard to stop this liTHp ya know).. p.s. I LOVE his lisp and I am not making fun of him ok?  I want to suck his mouth when he does that.. so no hate mail about liTHps 🙂

Now for GLUEBOOK wennsday.. has anyone played on their own?  stuck down scraps, stamped etc?  I hope you were able to and feel the sheer joy it gives me 🙂

here is a double mini gluebook page using a vintage magazine page and some new embellishments including the poppy for remembrance day :)..

Here is another page of mine using a vintage photo.  I just love the technology back then.. missing a head, a toe a face but you still have that "charm" of the photo.  Vintage photos have become a lucrative part of my collages.  They show my feelings sometimes when I just can't write.  make sense?  I hope so :)
