Flavored Popcorn, Bag Reveal & Mimzy

Yesterday, my Mom and I went to see The House Bunny. Oh my goodness! It was HILARIOUS!!! We were the only two people in that theater room, so it felt kind of like a private viewing. It was cool. We just laughed & laughed the entire time! Also, my Mom introduced me to the wonders of flavored popcorn! We went to a Harkins Theater and apparently you can add powdered flavorings {and it's self-serve}. We got a large bag and poured some of it in a little baggie. In the big bag we poured lots of butter & powdered white cheddar. Mmmm it was good! Then in the smaller bag, I poured tons of butter & powdered caramel flavoring. WOW it was DELICIOUS!!! And yep, we ate all the popcorn! When we were leaving, we got the free refill and did the same thing again (divided white cheddar & caramel), so I could bring it home to the kids. They loved it too!

Then we went to Subway for our yummy fresh sandwiches & went shopping for a baby gift for my friend Melanie who's having a baby soon! Went to her baby shower today & she got tons of CUTE baby clothes - enough to fill a whole closet! She's going to be one fashionable baby! All the gals who put together the shower did an excellent job! Tons of CUTE decorations & delicious food!!

Last chance for my first grab bag!


I thought I'd show you what's in my bag:

My new kit - "Felicia's Flowers"
{which is more than the cost of the bag}

There are 13 papers {7 solids & 6 patterned)

And 39 Elements

A set of 6 Quick Pages


Do you like hand-made cards? Have you tried hybrid?

Here is a set of printable cards!

{These are just the *face* of the cards, so you can print & add to the front of folded paper or leave extra space when you print so you can just print & fold. You can also add extra embellishments if you want.} One is 5x5 inches & the other 3 are 5x7 inches.

One card says "Congratulations" and another one says "Thinking of You" and the other two are wordless.

Sunday is the last day of the sale for my grab bag!!

I almost forgot...I also have another new kit that just released today! And it's ON SALE!!! SAVE 20% off for one week only!!

"Mimzy"

Here's a better look at the papers

This was a fun kit to make. I just love these gorgeous colors! Check back tomorrow because I may have a little surprise for you!

Hope you're having a good weekend!

I need to finish working on my primary lesson for church tomorrow morning & get the kids in bed. I think they keep sneaking out to watch cartoons! haha

Friday FUN & Another HINT

My Mom and I are off to see The House Bunny today! We've wanted to see it since we saw the first coming attraction! I love Anna Faris and it looks so cute & funny!!
But not before I get to wash my bedding first. Let me just say that I HATE washing bedding. Well, it's not the washing part I dislike cuz I can get that part done pretty quickly with my awesome front-loader washer/dryer. It's making the bed that I don't like, especially the kids' bunk beds! AND I'm not washing my bedding because I WANT to it's because I HAVE to. Anson snuck in our room in the middle of the night or really early this morning (not really sure when) but Ben woke up around 3 or 4am because his foot touched a WET spot on our bed! EEEeeeewwww! Anson was next to me and very dry. He found out he had snuck in our bed near the foot and wet the bed, then changed and cuddled up next to me. Sneaky sneaky little guy!

It probably soaked thru our mattress pad again, so I'll get to wash our mattress too! UGH! He did that a few weeks ago and I had to get out the carpet/furniture cleaner & scrub the mattress and let it air out ALL day before I could put the sheets back on at bedtime!

I guess it's a good thing I'll be gone most of the day hanging out with my MOM! :)

Ok time for another shameless plug for my grab bag {sale ends Sunday}!

And here's another HINT. I made this layout using goodies in my grab bag.
Isn't she a CUTE kitty?! She's such a little sweetie!! She is the funniest when she's playing *laser chase*! She loves to chase the little red light from the laser pointers! Last night I was in the bathroom and she hopped in the tub to lay down. So I turned on the laser and had her skidding around the tub. It was hilarious!! I also love hearing the kids giggle like crazy when they're playing *laser chase* with her!!

Update & FREEBIE

I've been taking Ibuprofen throughout the day and a couple of pain pills, so my back is feeling kinda OK for now. It's still a little swollen just in the sore area. Anyway, I'll probably be back to normal in the next day or so. I know it took Ben several days to get better (and he even had to go to work during his most painful days).

Went with a big group of friends (well, to be honest I only knew about 4 people and met everyone else for the first time there) to see this show on Tuesday evening. It was FUN getting out and I'd have to say the musical was just OK. The actors/dancers were great & their voices were fantastic, but I only knew the very last song and some of it was boring. Maybe it was just my pain pill making me sleepy, but I like to be entertained way more than this show. Plus it was kinda racy. Definitely not one for kids. It was still a BLAST being out with friends chatting & giggling! Thanks Tangie for getting the tickets, and Cami & Molly for the the fun chat (and ride)! It was fun meeting all the rest of the group too!
I'm excited because I got a huge box of fresh peaches today! Well, my parents and I split the box & my Dad did an excellent job dividing it almost perfectly in half. I told him to step on their scale to make sure he wasn't jipping me! I was totally kidding & had to laugh when he walked into the kitchen with the bathroom scale. HAHAHA Turns out he was only ONE pound off! WOW!! Good Job Dad!! So, we get to enjoy our yummy peaches for the next week (if they last that long)!

My FIRST grab bag is ONLY $3 until Sunday, so if you haven't stopped by DSO yet, better hurry!

Time for another clue. . . Here's another layout I made using stuff from my bag.
If you haven't heard of My Meebas, don't feel out of the loop. I didn't know anything about them until Ashley found a link on one of her cartoon websites. Of course, my kiddos are totally sucked in by the commercials or any kind of *fun* advertising! LOL Anyway, it's a little game and you keep playing until your "meeba" is fully grown & then the top pops open & out comes your cute little "meeba"! Oh and it's a surprise, you don't know what exactly is going to pop out! Ashley loves it!

Have you seen Tina's Commercial Use Overlays at DSO? She has 3 sets & they are great! She gave me this set so I could play around with them & make a little giftie for you guys! Isn't she so SWEET?!!! Thanks Tina!!

Here it is . . . my FREEBIE for YOU!!! It's a set of 6 papers! I like the way these papers turned out, so maybe I'll make some more stuff to go with it later.

If you want these papers {personal use}

*sorry link has expired*

Please leave a comment if you snag them! Thanks!

Happy Scrapping!!

Muscle Spasm & Little HINT

Hope everyone had a wonderful Labor Day yesterday! WE did! After my big bargain shopping spree, we swam with the kids, then got Ginger (our cat) a scratching post {she's scratching our box spring mattress on the corners}, and went to the grocery store. I let the kids get a little candy & some donuts, then used my raincheck to get some chicken to BBQ for dinner. We had decided to skip lunch (there had been lots of snacking all day) since it was getting late and go to the store, then have kind of an early dinner. Otherwise, no one would be hungry for dinner if we ate lunch at 3pm. While we were at the store, Ben says "whoever came up with that plan is LAME cuz I'm starving!" I reminded him it was HIS idea & I was starving too! LOL

Dinner was delicious - Ben is awesome with the grill! Then we watched this movie while the kids watched cartoons!
It was HILARIOUS!!! We loved it!

Ben & I were putting some clean laundry away just before we went to bed, and I was reaching for a hanger to put the last item away when OUCH!!! The muscles all across the middle of my back totally spasmed & I could hardly breathe or move! So I just stood there in the closet with my skirt in one hand trying to breathe. Ben was watching tv {which is just to the right of our closet} and didn't notice for a minute or two (of course being in pain it seemed longer). He finally jumped up & asked if I was ok. I told him what happened! I mean what did it look like I was doing - playing *freeze tag*?! haha He grabbed the skirt & hung it up for me while I tried to get to my bed. Being the super sweet hubby that he is, he massaged my back for at least an hour!

When I got up this morning my back was feeling ok but while I was brushing Ashley's hair it super-spasmed again! YIKES! Dang it hurts! It's OK right now but I can't move very quickly or do much. Ben had this same thing happen to him a couple weeks ago & I kinda teased him because he would make funny faces & noises during a spam! I know totally mean, but I can't always help it when something's funny! Now I know realize I shouldn't laugh when he's in pain cuz now I know how bad it feels! LOL

Just a reminder that my FIRST grab bag is ONLY $3 for this week only!

Since all I've been doing today is laying down or sitting, I worked on a layout to give you a little hint of what's in my bag!
And Luisa sent me this lovely layout using some of my grab bag
Isn't her daughter the cutest?!!

Have a good evening!!
