What a weekend

The weekend virtually flew by, I had high hopes to accomplish lots on Saturday and sleep felt so much better. My mom would be disapointed but I will catch up this week. Friday night we went up to North Kansas City to play darts and visit with friends. We did it really on the cheap and we still spent more that I wanted to but we were under the amount we alloted to go out. We had a ton of fun and it was really great to see everyone.

Saturday I had a make-up dart match in Independence and we won 7-6. Then we met up with some friends to eat at Texas Roadhouse. We had a gift certificate. That we have been dying to use. The prime rib was fantastic. Yummo.

Sunday we went to see Matt's mom and step dad in Dover. We had a good time but it was wonderful to be home again. I got to watch the finale of Harpers Island on Sunday morning and I loved the series but felt like they totally rushed the end. Call me a critic.

Odds and Ends

Here are a few cards that I have made over the last month or so I have been trying to get back in the habit of making something every night. Keeps my brain functioning apparently. I figured I would make a baby card for my sister and I have a couple birthdays coming up. and one just for fun with a flower.

I have been working with these scraps of paper that I had after creating my monthly layouts my girlfriend and I determined I would use the scraps for my other girlfriend. Here are a few things I made with the leftover papers. I loved the colors in these and thought they made great princess or girly layouts.

Layout Challenge

Here is my two layouts for the layout challenge. These were challenge 22 and 23 and I altered the one a little bit to make a two page layout. Hope you all enjoy.

For Baby

So my siter had her baby about a week and 1/2 ago and I just finished up making the announcements and need to get them in the mail to her. She didn't need many of them so I have about 30 of these that will head to her this week. I might have time to get some candy bar wrappers done too. ;)

Budget & Part time money

We finally completed our budget for July were trying something new in hopes of making our financial situation a little better and getting some money in savings. Were hoping to have a little left over at the end of the month in order to stash away for ADA Nationals in August. If we hadn't already committed to going we would back out but if we don't go then the people were playing with have to go to Open status and play without averages. Then all the spare cash goes into the Emergency fund until we hit 1,000. Then we can pay off all existing debt, loans, and automobiles. I'm also looking for some part time work either makeing and selling craft items or doing something retail. I would love to sell my stuff online so I might open an etsy shop for some jewelry. So be on the lookout I will post my store name when I get one. ;) If anyone needs any custom jewelry let me knoe I would be happy to make something for you or a loved one.

Fly me to the moon

So I am really ready to get out of Kansas City. Ready to bolt and not tell anyone where im going or when I will be back. I just want to run. I'm sooo sick of being the responsible one. I just want to enjoy part of life and that hasn't happen for a while. Anyone got any ideas on how to make my frown turn upside down that doesn't cost a whole lot of money.
