Because everybody needs a little silly in there day!

{ Frustration }

I rescued this little guy on highway 149 last Tuesday. When I found him he was starving, dirty, and beaten. I brought him home and the kids instantly started calling him "Burritto". A silly name for a dog, but he took right to it. When josh got home, we bathed him and fed him and gave him a comfy doggie bed to sleep in. I had every intention of taking him to the humane society in town the next day. Ive come to find our HS is closing down and euthanizing dogs. I couldnt take him to the pound, there is a 3 day hold and then they also put them down. Im so frustrated at the situation. I have 3 rescue dogs already. I cant help it, I have a big heart when it comes to strays. Hubby has warned me about bringing anymore home, but I really just dont know what to do. If I see an animal in need, Im going to help. But with no support system in the county we live in, its rough. My poor sister in law is fostering dogs left and right..... her backyard is one giant kennel. 300 dogs a week are being euthanized in our area, that is just an outrageous number. Anyway, just letting my thoughts float out onto this page. Burritto truley is a sweetie pie, I cant imagine why anyone wouldnt of wanted him. Atleast he has a loving place to wag his tail now.

{ Head in the Clouds }

My kids and I were deciphering clouds yesterday for fun. That inspired me to do this layout.

Visible and hidden journaling reads:
"Even though my head is in the clouds I realize: My outer beauty stems from my inner beauty, and that stems from Love. And In the End ... The love you make is equal to the love you take".

"All you need is love"

That last 2 parts are john Lennon Quotes.

{ Stuck Inside }

Ive been watching the clouds outside my windows today, wish I could be out. Its weird the things that grab you when your busy doing something your not that into. I really do love clouds, there something different to everyone, personal perception.

{ Art in the Trash Bin }

Isnt this cool? All these flowers were made out of wrappers, cans, some type of disposable advertising. Very inspiring, check out Tangent Mag.

{ Ambition #27 }

8 1/2 x 11 Layout.

{ Yo La Tengo }

Viva la Tengo! Stealing kisses is so much fun :)

{ So basically You }

{ one more thought }

FOR TODAY:

"Pay no attention to the man behind that curtain." Ignore what other people are doing. It has no bearing on your existence or vision of the world. The times we feel the most discouraged are usually due to the fact we are comparing ourselves to others. - Kari Smith

{ drink }

So cute. I found this (via: poppy talk) So which drink are you?

{ My Studio }

Well... Just few quick picks of my artistic space. Its not really finished, I have a few wall rubbings to put up and some framed art photos aswell as organizing that giant armoire. So this is kinda a sneak peak. Enjoy :)

{ Favorite Photo }

One of my all time favorite photos.

{ JSH }

I read somewhere that RED,WHITE,BLACK are the most used colors. They symbolize strength and power. In the context of this layout, that doesnt really make sense. But its definately my favorite color combo. Perhaps because in the global scope of things, its so recognizable. Plus, I think the star on J's nose is funny. Im sure he wouldnt agree :)

{ Now Entering Perfect }

Just one more Layout for today :) All products via: scrapartist

{ Why So Blue }

Im starting to feel better, spent some time in the hospital for bronchitis. But ive got renewed energey, and Im feeling very productive today. I think im gonna finish my art studio and clean the house. Oh, thought I'd share my newest layout too. This is dylan having a sullen moment while taking a break from skateboarding a few weekends ago. Its was such a gorgeous day, bright and sunny, I wanted to use very vibrant colors and I think these papers create the mood from that day perfectly, and dylans mood as well.

{ Sick Day }

Ick! I came down with something over the weekend. At first I thought it was a flu relapse. But now im thinking just a nasty ol' chest cold. Im taking a break to get better over the next few days.

{ Continuing }

I guess in the spirit of talking about shoes lately, im continuing on my shoe blogging trend. I picked these up for dylan (via ebay) the other day. Love, love, love these vans. He was so excited when they came in the mail yesterday. There a little to big, i was buying them for next school year. But i got the "MOM SO WHAT SPEECH" and he went right on to wear them anyway. That'll teach me!

{ Vegan/Veggie Recipes }

A scrapbook.com neighbor asked me for some recipes the other day and I thought I would share these links here too. Lots of yummy stuff can be found on these sites.

{ Beautiful Mommy }

This is kinda an old layout, but i scanned it in yesterday and wanted to share it. I loved these cherry arte papers so so much when they first came out, but this is the only time i ever used them.

{ Fancy Pants }

Ive decided that i heart fancy pants. There quickly becoming one of my favorite scrap companies. I just ordered a ton of there new products from Cha! My favorite has got to be Kewl, pictured above.

{ Cigarette Burns }

I just finished watching the 1st season of Masters Of Horror. I have to say I loved it, with my personal favorite being Cigarette Burns (by director: John Carpenter). We dont get showtime, its Hbo in this house. But with all the cool shows there putting out lately, its make me want it. I cant wait for the second season to come out on dvd, im so ready to add it to my queue.

{ Its all about }

Custom. Everyone is so into customzing now days, or atleast I know I am. These are too cute, I created my own Vans Shoes today. Give it a try, its alot fun and kills some time. Note: the above picture are not the ones I created, since you use flash to make em. But I do own the above, and they are so so comfy! Vans Knock-offs from target. *wow* 2 blogs in one day . . . Im on a roll!!!

{ Puppy Love Carrier }

Awww. Check out the cute new Carrier I got for Loudog. I love the tattoo on the front, so perfect! I cant wait til it arrives, he's gonna be the most stylish doggie in town!

{ Newest Layout }

Its titled *Because I love You*. The photo is of my hubby and our newest family member LOUDOG. This Layout would have been doggy x-rated but I covered his lower area with ribbon. FYI: Lou is a full bred chihuahua that we rescued over the weekend. He is a mere 4 1/2 lbs and was just terrified when we picked him up. I think he is really starting to get use to his new surroundings. He is just too precious, follows me and hubby around everywhere. And although Ive heard Chi's are not the best dogs for "Families" (we have a 5 & 7 yr old), He seems to be doing very well with the boys and Chico and Dixie of course too. Products used are 2peas and scrapgirls I believe.

{ C O L D }

Its been super cold here today. We even had a few snow flurries. Who would of thought, snow in east texas? Tonight: Mainly clear. Cold. Low 22F. Winds NNW at 5 to 10 mph. Buurrr!!!

Hard Core Love Frame

Just finished this up for Valentines. I looove marah's love struck line!

{ deus ex machina }

We watched this last nite, I have to say although strange its pretty good.

A Scanner Darkly is the movie you may have seen previews for that looks like half-real life, half-animation. It was actually filmed in it's entirety with real actors in real life, and then went back and painted over. The finished product looks awesome.

The movie ended up being very, very mysterious and confusing. At the end of the movie it was less confusing and more mysterious. I like movies like that. I may not know every answer at the end of the film, but I definitely had a good time getting there.

{ Love }

Awww. Thought I'd share this cutsie valentines card I made.

{ dog day }

Awww isnt he cute??? Chico and Dixie had a mini photo shoot today. I cant wait to start some Lo's with all the cool photos I took. Ive been taking alot of photos lately and havent scrapped any in forver. Maybe todays the day for some mini layouts. That would definately put me back on track to getting my stack done.

{ New Obsession }

Tofu and Soy products. I used to turn my nose up at food like this, but over the past few years Ive really come to enjoy it. One of my New years Resolutions has been to Treat My body better. No really weight loss, just choose healthier things for myself. So ive been eating less meat, and trying to structure my diet to be more health conscious. To my surprise Tofu burgers from the grocery store are much more tasty than they used to be. Ive got the whole family switched over to Vanilla Soy Milk too. Now all I need is to figure out how in the heck Im gonna get Josh and the boys to eat more veggies :)

Hmmm.

I thought i'd share this photo from christmas. I thought it came out kinda neat.
