Letting Go

It's been such a busy week. Well, it's been really busy since we returned from our Florida trip, which I still haven't blogged about!!! Shame on me. I really am going to try and do that this weekend, as I am looking forward to a fairly quiet one for a change. I have wonderful pictures to share, and stories to tell :o)

In other news, Jessica turned 14 yesterday. Hubby and I bit the bullet and got her her own cell phone. Poor Brian had to wait till he was 16 LOL Needless to say, she's beyond stoked. We had such a hard time ordering it online, I was getting pretty peeved. AT&T site really blows for adding a line onto your plan. I had to have some online C/S person hold my hand through the process LOL She was really patient with me, even after I screwed it up and had to go BACK through the process LOL

In short, she will be receiving the Pantech Duo cell. I was pretty creative with her gifts. She opened her cards etc from her friends, and of course we saved ours for last :o) I got her a pair of "Happy Bunny" slippers, and filled them with various small things,... wrapped LOL The cellphone case was down deeper in the bag, so once she was done opening all the little things, I was like hmm I think there might be something else down in that bag,..... she opened the case and was like *jaw drop* LOL I had printed out a picture of the phone and slid it into the case so she would know what she was getting. Hubby brought her out a much better picture so she could REALLY see the phone. Hubby and I have the AT&T Tilt phones and paid a chunk,.. her's is well, nearly like ours only much cheaper!!! Figures LOL She's so excited, even this morning she was saying "I can't believe I get a cellphone!!!" :o) So, thanks to hubby, we scored big with her this birthday LOL

Then there's Brian. *sigh* Yesterday, he gets into the truck, and says "Mommy..." now, what 17yr old boy do you know says "Mommy" w/o wanting something???? Right. My reply.. "What do you want??" His friends were wanting him to go with today to the movies, pizza and trip around the mall. I've yet to really cut the cord,... it's been stretched a lot, but not totally CUT. I asked a few questions, and ended with "we'll see." LOL My boy, goin off with friends, a friend who DRIVES,... and going to a town a good 30-40 mins away???? *sigh*

After we got home, I mentioned it all to hubby,... who later talked with Brian. I was busy getting the party together, so didn't know what the outcome was,... later asked Brian and he said that he could go. *cry* "Okay, cool..." *sigh*

He was headed out this morning,.... and I was like "be careful!" "yes mom" "did you balance your checking so you know how much money you have??" "yes mom" "Have your wallet??" "yes...." "your ID???" LOL yeah, it was hard to see him walk out the door like that.

So, in short, I've stretched the cord more,.... I refuse to cut it just yet LOL Maybe when he moves out?????

Tanya Wants To Know...

Tanya has asked a few questions,... in which when I answer, I will pass this on to 3 others :) Thank you Tanya!!!

1. How long have you been using PSP, PS?

Well, to be honest, we had a copy of PSP6 and I dabbled with it a lot for photo editing, then later some VERY basic sig tags for some online gaming the hubby and I were doing,... I think it was either 1997? or 2000?? I would really have to ask hubby LOL I've got a piss poor memory. Since then though, we've upgraded to PSP9, and that's only been within the last couple years, where I have learned to do LOTS more than photo editing!

2. How did you get into making tags, scrapkits?

I frequent a virtual pet site called Subeta. The site has a lot of free reign where you can create wonderful, fun layouts, or sig tags for the forums etc. Using my points at the site, I would purchase these items from others. Well, it was around then that we got PSP9 and I started dabbling,... from there I was given some great tutorial links from Michelle that helped,... hubby joined this PSP group that was wonderful for a beginner,.... then I joined Cherished Angels and have learned a lot more, and call that my PSP home :)

3. Who`s your fave artist?

Hmm... I have several,... right now I'm really big on Charlene ChuaCharlene Chua, but I love Garvey, Janesko, Woolcott,... so many wonderful artists out there!!!

4.Who`s your faveourite Scrap Designer?

Wow,... umm... I have soooo many scrapkits LOL I think by far I love the work that Clarey does,... I think another favorite is Sophisticated Scraps I really have a TON of kits though,... hard to pick just one person when there are so many talented kit makers out there.


5. Which three blogs do you visit everyday?

Hmmm not many blogs really, but when I do it's usually Joanne's For the most part, you'll find me hanging around at Cherished Angels :)

Again, thank you Tanya!! Hope you learned a lil bit more about me through this :)
I'm going to send this along to
