(1) museless

(2) project lifeless (lol)

(3) sleepless

(4) freshhhhhess

It’s been a crazy week.. poor Helenabella was alone in the store all week.. I have been working from home (I’m sure Helen isn’t feeling so poor.. she’s probably doing a JIG (omg I just literally laughed out loud thinking about helen doing a jig.. if you know Helenabella, you will know what I mean..) Denabella has been in Australia and is back on Monday.. I am sure she is doing a jig too..LOL.. I guess I can add this to my list:

(5) jigless (not to be confused with JIGGLE-LESS– cuz I am JIGGLE-FUL)

Ok enough of my “lessness”.. let’s talk about my “MORENESS”.. because I am dying to post these cards.. and I always get SO INSPIRED after I post my fridays…  so without further ADOOOOO  let’s talk some WINNAHS.. shall we?

AJ monday theme is ARROWS

and next week’s Bellarific theme is a GORGEOUS sketch by Ebru!

I am sure that I have played this song before but it is my FAVORITEST song EVAH… I just blast it and TWIRL (winks to Paulabella) in my chair…   LOVE.

Hiya sistahs!  Sorry I have been a bit MIA.. yesterday’s post never made it because LIFE got in the way of PROJECT LIFE..LOL.. and that happens… I have been secretly beating myself up but I am over it.. I will work on it when I can.. which will probably be today cuz I can’t take it anymore..LOL..

So I decided to introduce you to my new friend Ryan found for me…

Let me ‘splain.

Before we moved into our new home, Ryan PROMISED me my dream craft room.. remember?  ok so I got the room with racking and even a BAFROOM and a SHOWAH! (will take pics when it is nice and clean.. which will probably be NEVAH).. anyway, since I like to do MESSY stuff, I don’t wanna do it in my CRAFT room because the CRAFT room has become a place to house the crafts and for me to work on project life.  So SLOOOOOWLY…. every so SLOOOOOOWLY.. I EXPANDED into the main part of the basement.. we had our old dining room table which became a craft table for Jayden and I in the old house.. we COULDN’t throw it out right?  so it came to the basement.. I said to ryan. why have the TABLE in the BASEMENT if I can’t USE it thankyouverymuch.  He didn’t respond.. LOL.  So out came my easel and my paints (the messy stuff) and within minutes, the whole table had stuff all over it (you know how it is..) so I needed a “friend”… a friend who could help me “declutter”.. who could “house” my necessities and help me clear off my table…  so here he is.  Meet “GEORGE”..LOL (I just named him for effect…LOL).. idn’t he cute?  The top was meant to hold my Vagabond or my sewing machine but oh well.. may need a George Junior soon… He is a Rubbermaid Mobile Work station and is on wheels!  *love*.

here is one of the drawers open.. I keep all of my crayons.. stencils.. stuff I use all the time so G-D forbid I should get this arse up and get it..LOL

How CUTE is he? hmmmm?  A HOTTIE I tell ya. (I am a bit demented aren’t I.. I love the word demented.. it really has an effect no?)

And since Ryan couldn’t take all my artwork on the floor, he decided to build a shrine and put all of my finished and unfinished pieces on the wall to inspire me.. it makes me SOOO VERRY HAPPY…  here’s a little portion of DA WALL

I hope I didn’t bore you to death with my Boyfriend’s details. but I had to share 🙂

Mwah to da sistahs who want my boyfriend

Em

Hiya sistahs!

did you have a great weekend?  We kinda chilled at home.. Ryan ran around with Tyler for hockey playoff games and practices and Jayden and I just hung out.. did some art, watched movies  etc…  When we do our art is when she decides to recap her whole week to me.. what happened.. who said what.. what said where.. she said this… can you believe I said that… AND she told me that her friend is scared of me.. So I stopped and said, why on earth would she be scared of me???  So she says to me “because you have crazy curly hair and wear glasses”…. LOL.. So jayden says to her friend (instead of really defending me).. “doesn’t matter.. she’s the COOLEST MOM EVAH”…LOL.. so basically does that mean she agreed with her friend? LOL

Then we spent Sunday shopping for clothes.. Jayden has a VERY unique style shall we say.  Friday was the straw that broke the camel’s back where I INSISTED we go shopping.  She emerged from her bedroom wearing a pink pair of printed leggings (which were now CAPRI LENGTH).. actually MAUVE… with a RED shirt and a TURQUOISE sweatshirt and pink socks.  She walked around quite confidently I might add WHILST Tyler and I looked at each other with mouths agape.  She looks at us and says “WHAT”.. I said to her kindly to please point out WHAT in her outfit matches.  She told me point blank that there is WHITE in everything and I TOLD HER that white matches everything.  HMPH.  what could I say to that?  I did tell her to march herself upstairs and put something on that matches..LOL.  I guess in hindsight I shoulda let her embrace her individuality.. which I usually do.

Soooo Sunday comes and we go to this store called JUSTICE.. my friends have been talking about it but I have never been in there.. everything was 40% off and if you go to the “BACK WALL” you get 50% and an additional 40% so I guess they paid us to take the stuff away.  So at the beginning of 2012, I forecasted that NEON would be in style.. and sure enough I walked into the store and it was like 1984 WHAM!  Wake me up before you gogo.. remember that era?    EVERYTHING was neon.. so we got Jayden some goodies.. and some SILVER blingy ugg type boots which I think she slept with.. and some other stuff..   I am so happy that she has stuff that matches and pants that are long enough..LOL  .  Tyler got some goodies too.  It’s so funny.. Tyler since the age of 2 would pick out his clothes and has a great eye.. his sister?  the ONE TOOTH WONDER.. not so much..LOL (shh.. she’s like her father).

Anyway, enough personal boring stuff  Let’s discuss AJ monday shall we?  The theme this week was to use pencils.. coloured pencils, HB pencils..   Let’s see what our sistahood did shall we?

So that’s it for AJ monday today … Thank you for posting some suggestions for our themes.. I’m gonna use them all!  So NEXT WEEK’S THEME IS ARROWS (thanks PINKY!)… you can use them as a background.. as your focal point.. pointing to your focal point.. Get creative!  Can’t wait to see!!!   Since AJ monday is supposed to be FREEING, I just suggest themes.. you don’t have to follow them.. you can just send in anything you worked on that we can drool over 🙂

Mwah to da sistahs who participate and who match 😉
