Yesterday's creations and todays blahs

Well I had a bit of a creative day yesterday. I created 2 new digital layouts using templates. I hadn't used a template before and it was sort of fun! A great way to do digital layouts if you don't have alot of time. I used Purple Frog's new Art Inspired Templates. She is offering them free on her blog. This first one is our new hamster (who still doesn't have a name, by the way). I used the New Members Kit that they are giving away FREE to everyone who joins the Digital Scrap Garden forum.

And another one of my kids on Halloween. This one is made with Ladybug's Autumn Bliss kit and Purple Frog's Glitterfied Swirls.

I also made myself a wallpaper for my new cell phone! I used a free kit from Raspberry Road Designs. I think it turned out cute...

In other news...

• I feel BLAH today. I think its going to be an all-day-jammy-day.
  
• The hamster is doing great. This is the third day in a row I have been handling him without him nibbling on me. Yay! Tyler still can't really hold him because he is still a bit scared and tries to bolt when he gets nervous. But he's enjoying petting him and watching him run around in his ball. We might try him out in his littlle hammy playpen one of these days.
• Tyler is doing good in school. He's so durn smart!
• Emily has 8 teeth now. She's ready for her first Thanksgiving dinner!! She's getting good at pulling herself up and standing on just about anything in her reach... no steps yet though.
• My mouth is STILL NUMB. It will be a week tomorrow since they extracted the teeth. Hope it comes back to life soon.
• Sprint replaced my phone for me on Monday... with a brand new phone that's the next step up from the one I had. I am now the owner of a Treo 755p. Yippee. It seems to be working great.

I think that's all for now! Have a great day, Blogland!!

Question of the day...

Tyler: "What's the same about pee, poop, and potty?"

Mommy: (wincing) "I don't know, what?"

Tyler: "They all start with P!"

Come on. Admit it. That wasn't the answer you were thinking of either. Was it?

Here are a couple of layouts I created yesterday and today...

These are both made with a fun NEW kit called Peach Mocha. Its a collab kit designed by Purple Frog Pizzazz, Ladybug Graphix, and Flutterby Designs over at Digital Scrap Garden. They all have previews of the kit in their blogs. The best part is... they are giving this huge kit away for FREE with any purchase this month! Go! Grab it! Now! :) You won't be sorry! Its got DUCT TAPE!

I go in the morning to have these 2 teeth extracted. I'll let ya know how it goes!

New hats & a digital scrapbook freebie alert!

The kids got a box in the mail from Grammy & Grampy yesterday. They always find cool little trinkets to send. This time they each got a new hat. :o)

Grampy bought Tyler this cool Marine hat at the Crawford County Fair in PA.

So Grammy had to go on a hunt for a hat for Emily.

Tyler wanted to try taking a picture... (ignore my wet hair, please)
