Tuesday Morning Sketches Challenge!

First off...I want to apologize to those who played along with Tuesday Morning Sketches last week and I didn't get around to comment. As you know things just haven't been going smooth lately for us here...BUT I'm not making anymore excuses. I should try to use the computer as much as possible because come March...I don't know if we'll still have a connection. It'll only be temporary...for maybe a couple of months or so if we should lose connection... Now with that aside...here is your sketch for today's TMS challenge!

Make sure you stop by Melissa's Tuesday Morning Sketches to see the awesome samples by the rest of the design team. They do kick butt when it comes to Melissa's sketches! I love her sketches because they take you out of the norm and make you think...well at least that's the deal with me. LOL! I'm awful at sketches which is why I'm thankful Mel has me on her team...I need to break out of the norm...lol.

Here is my card for the sketch! This weeks sponsor is DRS Designs. We were graciously given 2 images to work with...THANK YOU very much! :) These stamps I got are beyond cute! They just make me smile. The little boy "Sweet Offerings" from the Cutie Pie Kids line makes me see my DS Ozzy...lol. Those cheeks and tousled hair...lol.

Hope to see you play along! I WILL make my rounds this week! So watch for me! LOL! :P

Just Us Girls Get Sketchy and I get...

DIGI! Yes...I'm playing along with today's JUG's challenge in which is hosted by Miss Tracy "Cuchi-Cuchi-Coo" Cuccia! Every time I say her last name Charo comes to mind...lol! Sorry Tracy...you know I'm a little nuts right?

Anywho...this is the sketch provided to play along and I decided to make a digi scrap page for my LV who turns 14 in less than a month. I used her favorite colors and my favorite recent picture of her right now. She did her own makeup for this picture...I only helped a little.

Well that's it for now...the kids are calling me to play Crash Bandicoot and they think I kick butt...lol! Have a great weekend!

Here I used Argus with Teddy along with SCS sketch challenge SC266 only I turned Argus into a girl...lol. Sorry Argus! But doesn't he look good as a girl? LOL! The flowers have Stickles, Argus's hair ribbon, teddy, spots, & the word "Sparkle" are also Stickled. Then for some more sparkle...I added some bling.

I'm a believer in KARMA...

Hey guys...by now you all probably thought I might have been in tears and what not...but I simply can't! Why? Well let me tell you.

So my dad's daughter calls to tell me (us) that my dad is dying. Ok...that made my heart sink, my stomach churn, and my head spin and I was distraught. NOW...EVERYONE is trying to get in contact with her trying to find out information...but she's not giving ANYTHING to ANYONE...not even my dads SISTER! That pissed me off and I'm ready to rocket into space. My sister called me to let me know she called and that she didn't want to talk to my sister and didn't allow her husband to give info...MY SISTER IS IN ARIZONA...are you serious???!!!

As much as I love my dad...I'm not gonna risk myself or my kids in going out there to see what's going on. This lady is CRAZY...like she'll shoot you crazy and so is her whole family. I have my precious kids to lose if she trips on me because I'm not one who lets herself...if someone goes at it ON me...watch out because the sweet Gabby leaves and that's where the trouble will start.

If my dad passes away...or maybe he already did...it wont be on MY conscience...it'll be on hers and she'll have to live with that...not me. I had my dad with me MANY years...30+ and I enjoyed his company and gave him all the love I can. His memories will remain with me forever...more than she can ever say or imagine...and he and my mom will be in my heart forever. As much as it tears me up inside...I'm gonna have to let him go in MY way...or at least until his daughter decides to set her hate aside and allow us to go and see him if he's still on this Earth. If he left us...may he be with my mom and his children looking over us along side our Lord and resting in peace.

I just can't let her pissy @$$ get to me because I'm already going through enough to add that to my dish. I'm sorry if I may sound cold...but that's just how I'm feeling. My daddy will always be my daddy regardless!

SOOOO...back to me and try to enjoy my time I may have left with my computer. The ball is in her court...

Thanks for once again being there for me and your prayers.
