i'm baaaaaaack....

oh good grief..i won't EVEN get into the week that i have had...just please know that my mind was 10million miles away from digi scrappin'....so much has happened....lots of sad stuff..I know that y'all don't know my family...but just please say a special prayer for my cousin Jason...he is going through a really rough time..so are his parents...they are all very special to me and are in need of some prayers...thanks!

on a MUCH lighter note..kaney's birthday ROCKED....I didn't get the invites (yes, the precious ones that y'all have already seen) mailed out..my mind was playing tricks on me..by not working...all of this craziness started on the eve of my birthday...and my week just was totally shot from there...........I procrastinated SO much (shock) that even i am amazed that I could TOTALLY pull of Kaney's birthday party...it was QUITE a success..kev cooked up some scrumptious DOVE and DUCK..yum..the cake was delicious and AWESOME and most of all Kane was the KING for the DAY! He had a BLAST...and I think that everyone else did too..even if i did have to call and invite people instead of sending out invites :)

Well, I have managed to do a few layouts....they are from QUEEN KRYSTAL http://www.polkadotpotato.com/ go and check out the potato bar...she is LOADED lots of GOODIEZ on there...GREAT stuFF and only 99cents! WOHOO! lots of other STUFf on there..I loaded up!

I hope that y'all have a FANTASTIC week...ice is expected in our neck of the woods on Tuesday..hmmmmmmmm..interesting to see how this is going to pan out....

hope you LOVE the layouts..they were FUN to do! More to come..promise! :) This week is going to be SUCH a better one than last week..I just know it! :)

gotta LOVE this lil' girl

hunter is SUCH a fun lil' chick...she has always been an active part of my chaos..from fringey flipflops...handpainted stuff.....and now SCRAPBOOKING...she LOVES it...and it's tons of fun seeing what she might create...she used to hang with the chic chicks until the wee hours of the morn at the chic shoppe..usually outlasting us all...this year she asked for some scrapbooking stuff...and santa claus and nana claus really came through..even the uncles kicked in a cute lil tote loaded down (i'll bet they picked that out ALL on their OWN!)

Tomorrow is the day.........WOHOOOOOOO..LeRetreat..here we come.........I can't wait! I will have to buzz back home and post my LOAD challenge entry..never fear :) kidding

tomorrow is also kaney's third birthday...so HAPPY BIRTHDAY KANE!!! I love that lil' man so much TOO...he helps huntergirl and I by throwing away our scraps...he always makes sure that he asks..momma is this little enough to go in the trash...gotta love a kid that knows his SCRAP!

thanks for participating in the madness.........

xoxo..akw

motherhood...the sweetest thing...

and now an ode to motherhood.........I really do love being a mom...crazy and chaotic as it is..it is the best gift that I could have ever given myself...

this is LOAD #...gosh..I have lost track...#8 maybe?! who KNOWS! It is only 2 short days until Kane's birthday....I am putting on the brakes..I want to just keep him two for a little while longer...#3 is such an age of change...preschool...no more diapers...HOPEFULLY (maybe by age 6) Iplan to take my mind of the fact that my baby is turning #3 with a girl's weekend of SCRAPBOOKING..don't worry..I will just be across town..so I can slide in and check on my fam from time to time..

hmmmmmmmmmmm..what else..not much else to say...night night..hope ya like this layout..I LOVE krystal hartley's new GOODIEZ...aren't they JUST "the sweetest thing" why yes, yes they are..check her out.. http://www.krystalhartley.blogspot.com/ the LOVE (look familiar) is a SPLASH OF ASH..by meeeeee...

My friend Jaime and her sis Gina helped out SOO much today..we made several trips and will be at it again TOMORROW...for as much work as we did we had a BLAST..we laughed ALL day long! We even had to go dumpster diving after something that we shouldn't have thrown away and had to dig back out....it was HILARIOUS...

miss hunter wolf did an AMAZING job helping today!!! She began to scrape the name off the window..(such a CUTE window) she only got the S off...and it was gettin' dark..so for now..the name of my store is chic & crappi.......NICE..I will be up there at DAWN scrapin' that off...

I LOVE THis picture of my kids...taken by ashli k wolf photography..heard of it... :)

I need to make invites for KANe's 3rd birthday party....looks like we ARRRRRRr having a pirate party....that is probably until I buy the pirate plates, napkins, and make the invites and he then changes his little stubborn wolf mind and decides on

a DINOSAUR party...
