salute...to digi..LOVE IT!

this is something awesome that i was asked to make for a girlfriend of mine..now imagine this baby blown up into POSTER size in a big frame with a black mat...yuM! it is pretty awesome..i was totally HAPPY with the finished product...lots of pictures on there..the look on mommas face when she picked it up was PRICELESS! yeah...
ok...i have a confession...i am TOTALLY addicted to this crazy digital scrapbooking....BUT i have NO TIME to do it for myself....so that is why i am doing the couNtDoWn to the end of school......i am going to do nothing but digi scrapbook ALL summer long..that's right girls...i am going to slap some sunscreen on the kids and lock them outside in the backyard all day long...throwing them an occasional hot dog or "gorrilla cheese" (as kane calls them...) and a glass of water that they can split..kidding...no..i won't lock them out..but there will be rules...mommy can't be bothered while on computer rule....you know that one girls...right!

ok..but seriously...calm down and cease calling cps on me..but i am going to do some serious scrappin..and i am SOOO pumped up about it..seein that I have about 10 tons of stuff left from the store..i can either burn it :) or do something with it...so I am thinking HYBRID projects a plenty!

speaking of HYBRID..HELLO..you should have SEEN the calendars that i made for my preschool mommas today for marvelous moms at school....so SWEET...but OH THE DRAMA leading up to getting them printed...ok..so are y'all ready for an ashli wolf story...well, here goes. (what would my blog BE without one?!)

so...............i got these hot little calendar covers in a download that i totally LOVE...can't remember where..but i will think on it :) so anywho.....I took some SUPER precious fat face pictures of my preschoolers oh my GOSH..they were So cute...and i spent tons of time making these (ok..that was a stretch because it as a template :) so i made these CUTE calendar covers and was like HOLY cow this is going to take 4ev to attach and send to MY GIRL KATIE at Staples..(love how we are GIRLZ...i see her more than i see my kids some week) so i was like, well, what about a 4shared account...so i did it..downloaded them all (took a while) and sent them to STAPLES at 12:49am on Tuesday morning...ONLY to find out that staples couldn't open the webpage...UGH....so i had to copy them all off of the 4shared account...onto my computer at school (SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH) and then send them BACK as an attachment..took forev... anyways..she got em....printed one..it was the wrong size..no prob..we will print them a different size..so while they are printing i will jet off to get a frame for something ELSE that i made... and to pick up the pocket calendars...so i run to michaels..super fast...because of COURSE they will have the 16 pocket calendars that i am needing RIGHT?! wrong..they are "seASoNAL items" ugh...it wasn't nice the thoughts that were racing through my head...but i actually just started LAUGHING...hysterically...WHO ELSE would this happen to...my calendar covers are PRINTING and i have NO calendars....WHY ARE THESE SEASONAL ITEMS>..like WHAAT season would that be..because TO MY KNOWLEDGE...summer, spring, winter AND remarkably ENOUGH fall are all represented in the calendar correct me if i am wrong...but those are the seasons.......right...so they aren't seasonal....the woman was a total haggatha...i tend to gravitate to those people to..shedding positiveness and happiness onto someone WHO doesn't want it at all..i share my woes wiht her..laughing all the while...and guess what...she tells me my total and shoos me out the door...class! from there..i went and totally WIPED out target of the only 10 that they had..and then i went to the denton walmart...i found a TReAsUre TrOve of them...EUREKA right....i grabbed up a handful of them and off i went to checkout.......only to hear the nice checker lady say...um..maim, would you really like to buy these...i am like UH YYYYYYYYYYYES!!! i have to have them....and seh is like, well maim (gotta love that...)) these are academic calendars and they are from 2007-2008 and they end on AUGUST 08.............omg..if i would have bought those..i would have been TOTALLY messed up! so i race back, grab up some more with the RIGHT date and am outtie...go back to staples..and they are n't all done...ahh..but it is OK...so me and the staples family kicked it until 9 together...it was fabulous! all was well, got the calendar covers all fixed up..aside from the one for a little girl in my class...hers was printed off mirrored so instead of saying I love you, mom...it said mom, uoy evol I NICE, huh! not sure HOW that happened...corruptness in the file i guess..who kNoWs! so i will post pics later tatersss.xoxo.ash

happy SunDaY!

all aboard...this poor conductor had to wait a little while longer to leave the station..thanks guY!
here we are my great uncles..do i look a little like that side of the family...i am told i do! especially uncle davey..the short one...hmmm...go figure...
this is my great grandma's house...it was just moved from its original spot about a mile away...someone is going to renovate it..we can't wait to see how it turns out..they are a neat bunch of folks...and i know that they will make it look fabulous! oh and a disclaimer (lol krystal) my family DID NOT paint it that color.........no way..it was nice and white when we had it
yeah................I got in.........i need this in my life right now...to help me understand all sorts of goings on.... to no computer for me the weekend of may 16th.... i will be with some awesome chicks and i can't WAIT!
this is a clipboard that i made using krystal's goodiez... i like how it turned out..pretty fuN!


what an awesome weekend it has been....didn't start off too hot...friday..NOT GOOD at all...won't EVEN start into that though..happy thoughts..positive thoughts....happy thoughts.... anywho..i do have to tell you THIS pure ASHLI WOLF original story...so when I closed up the chic shoppe i had SOOOOOOOOOOOO much stuff..i had to get TWO mini warehouses (one i already had) to put it all in.........so i had 186 so thinking it would be easier..i chose 168 so we filled BOTH of those babiez and then went back and cleaned out one and condensed...ok pretty smart right...well, not really because i switched the keys and locks out....so i wasn't able to get into my mini this weekend...i was almost breaking the key off in the lock until i realized WHAT i had done..oMG! hilarious..afterwards...went to lunch with ONE awesome grandmama and my fun fam... and YEAH..guess what else...it was the Webkinz extravaganza or something fun like that......so of COURSE we are the proud new owners of two new webkinz...princess ashlin and ryan the LION cute name...that was ALL kaney...thanks grandmama for a yummy dinner and the new additions


ok........so then we went to the zoo..for a train ride because APPARENTLY the zoo doesn't think that they need to let people in after 4:30..oh MAN..were we sad! we did get to ride the train though...it was a bit pressing because RIGHT before we heard the ALL ABOARD..hunter decided "she had to go the the bathwomb" oh my GOSH..........i was like NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! ( i should have though..what would kate goslin do....but i didn't i straight freaked OUT) so we exited the train...me, my daughter about to wee wee wee all the way home.and kane SCREAMING at the top of the lungs...YOU MEAN MOMMY...YOU WON"T LET ME WIDE THE TWAIN........ oh didn't I look like mother of the year... after almost going to fisticuffs with the zoo lady who wouldn't let hunt use their bathroom because they were closing GRR...we CHUGGED across the parking lot to the LOVELY and oh so CLEAN park potties...RAN back to get on the train in time to hear the WHISTLE..yes, WE MADE it! The glares from the fellow train riders after dragging my kids off were turned into smiles as they saw us sprinting across the park..not such a bad mommy after all...so HA!


no germanfest for us this year..gotta LOVE that texas weather..it was FREEZING today...but we did get to meet up with my grandpa's brothers...they started Longhorn Barbecue in Spokane Washington...pretty neat old coots! I love those guys...i wish that my grandpa was alive to see them and how they LOVE my kids...it is soo cute! We all ate at the center..yum...i had to make up for not going to the fest...so i had a huge platter of sausage, german potato salad..and kraut!YUM...don't worry..i watched my portions...i only had 1/3 of it........


ok..........so after we got home..magic elves came to our house and whipped it into shape it DID help that kaney fell asleep with ryan the lion and slept through the windstorm of domestic craziness...so the house is clean spic & span...and then that gave me some FUN time to make some goodiez...i got some graduation invitations done WOHOO...and i made a FUN little hybrid project using krystal hartley goodiez available at the potato bar http://www.polkadotpotato.com/ YUM! and oh my gosh..i am working on a super surprise for someone VERY special..more about that after i am done though..it is SUPER cuTe! i love IT!
