So I'm really liking this size album. It's allowing me to be quick and efficient. I've even managed to photograph and post. I am one happy camper.</div>

Day 2- Journaling reads: We went to visit Jose at the rehab center after his knee surgery. Jorge had a great idea of having dinner in South Miami before our visit. I was in the mood for Sushi. We had</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
never been to RA Sushi. It was delicious. I had a tuna salad and fish tacos. Yum! We walked around a bit on our way to visit Jose. He is much better and coming home soon.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I didn't have enough space to journal on the front but I also didn't want to use the whole back side to journal so I used a tag and tucked it right behind day 3 and it just slides out... </div>

Is anyone out there???</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Wanted to get the month started right away with my December Daily photos, words and paper. I always start out strong but somehow along the way I lose my mojo... That's been my motto this year but I will attempt it all the same. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Simple is the route I'm taking. I'm using my December Daily kit from Studio Calico and following Ali Edward's simple approach this year. I'm crossing my fingers that I can do it. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Yesterday began this festive month. I had the privilege of attending the most beautiful wedding of the year. Yes, I said it and it's printed. My cousin (by marriage) married the love of her life last night and it was a beautiful, magical evening. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I was inspired this morning to dig in. I haven't pre-done any pages so I'm gonna work on it as the days progress. I hope to work on it a bit more tonight since I'm home alone and just get some of the chipboard pieces decorated. </div>
<br />
Here's Day 1<br />

I've been trying to decide what to do with this blog. I had every intention of making this blog about my love for scrapbooking. Unfortunately, some where along the road I lost the passion for it. Hence the lack of blog post. I'm only scrpabooking about one day a month with my scrappy friends but even then I'd rather have fun, chat and eat. Don't get me wrong. I love the products and I'm still getting my monthly scrapkits from Studio Calico but I'm not putting them to good use. My bff and I have been going back and forth with the same issues and we realized it's because we have too much stuff that is not getting used and it's bringing us down. So we decided to pare down our stash and only save what we know we will use and what we love. I'm loving that idea and I'm getting my scrap room revamped... Out with the old... This blog will also be getting some TLC in the coming months.<br />
<br />
The other thing that inspired me was Amy Tangerine. We took a class with her earlier this month at the Paper Niche and she was so awesome, down to earth, grateful, nice and she has an excellent way of teaching and connecting to her students. I loved both projects and walked away with both completed... Whoohoo! She taught us some simple techniques that I know for sure I can do on my own. <br />
<br />
I am a SIMPLE SCRAPPER!!! Feels good to admit it out loud. I like simple, quick and cute layouts. If I spend too much time on a layout I lose interest fast. She talked alot about finding what works for you and going for it. I'm inspired but before I can jump into scrapbooking again I need to purge...<br />
<br />
Tropical Storm Isaac is here in Miami, Florida today so I'm using my time wisely and preparing for the long haul of cleaning out this room of all this stuff. I'm hoping to sell most of it at great prices and donating the rest to my cousins church. <br />
<br />
Here are some photos of our day with Amy Tan... I forgot to take photos of my completed projects but I will soon. <br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Yes, it's me... I'm back to blog world. It's been one heck (for lack of a better word) of a couple of months for me. My computer crashed and burned at home and I just hadn't had the time or inclination to do anything about it. I was surfing on my hubby's computer but I truly do not like laptops so I spent limited amounts of time on it. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I won't go on and on why I haven't been here but it's safe to say it's been a roller coaster ride. I never would have thought to say it but I can't wait for school to be over. This seems to consume a lot of my "me time".</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So what I have I been up to in the more recent past... Well, these books consumed about one week of my life. I read them in record time and actually went back and re read book 2 and 3 again. I would have read them in chronological order but my sis-in-law has it. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I LOVED IT!!! I loved the erotic encounters, the love story, the power struggle between husband and wife, the action and also the depths of an adopted child. I am not an English major, I am not a critic but I am a woman that loved having some quiet time of peace and allowed myself to enjoy these books. I totally recommend them. </div>
<br />

<br />
<br />
On another note, I've been scrapbooking bits and pieces here and there. I'm currently working on a vintage book from a class kit I purchased from Studio Calico in March. I love how it's turning out but it is a bit difficult to work on the pages. It's hard holding it down to create the pages. <br />
<br />
Here's a picture of the front of book <br />

<br />
Any plans for National Scrapbook Day? Well, my dear friend Barbara has secured a clubhouse and our group of scrapbook gals are getting together and getting our scrap on. I'm excited and I hope that my mojo is just as excited to go because I'm super behind on my scrapbook kits. <br />
<br />
I hope you made it through my post and I sure hope I still have my followers. Hope to be back soon with more goodies..<br />

I'm living my OLW everyday and I can honestly tell you that it feels so good. I've used my January kit " Country Fair" to its fullest potential. It's amazing to me how many layouts you can do with just the main kit. I'm done hoarding these beautiful kits every month and not creating beautiful layouts.<br />

The <a href="http://studiocalico.typepad.com/studio_calico/sunday-sketch/">Sunday Sketches by Studio Calico</a> have jumpstarted my creativity and with them I've made three layouts, an original layout and a birthday card for a friend. <br />

Journaling reads: This little girl makes us all so happy and joyful. Gracie is such a happy baby. She lights up a room. When I'm with her I can't help but carry her and snuggle her and give her tons of kisses and tell her over and over again how much I love her. I'm so proud to ber her Godmother. I plan on spoiling her to pieces... <br />

I have some scraps that I plan on making some cards... I'm making it a top priority to give out more cards this year... Cards are such a nice personal touch... <br />
<br />
I'm really happy on how I've stretched this kit and can't wait to get my hands on February's kit from Studio Calico. It's filled with new releases for CHA winter 2012. I haven't even been looking at sneak peeks because I'm holding true to my promise of using up my stash before buying new scrapbooking supplies. <br />
<br />
Goodnight... I'm exhausted from a fun filled day.<br />

LOL I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas. Mine was filled to the rim with greatness. My home was filled with family and friends this holiday season and that is truly what I enjoy the most. </div><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">The festivites started on December 23 for my brother and cousins birthday. Since my brother was leaving for Christmas and New Years to celebrate with his wife's family, we celebrated a couple of days early. It was great spending time with the cousins and exchanging Christmas presents. I sure hope someone in my family took a picture blowing out the candles because I sure would like one. Hint!Hint!</div><br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;">December 24 was celebrated at my in-laws house. It was great to catch up with old friends. I haven't seen this couple since our wedding day almost 7 years ago. This was a nice surprise for my husband. My husband and his dad have a tradition of making a big in a "chinesse box". This really doesn't translate well in English but they roast the pork for many, many, many hours and then we eat it in a minute... </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">Christmas morning gives me so much joy. My boy was so surprised that he got everything he asked for. Since he doesn't believe in Santa I really need to make him sweat a little so he can have some type of surprise. For weeks, I've been telling him since he didn't make his wishlist that I was not spending any money on stuff he wasn't going to use. We took him to Universal Studios with a friend so I told him that was his gift. The look on his face was priceless. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

Even I received some great presents. My husband played a joke on me and wrapped my presents with newspaper. <br />

The best way to end the evening was seeing my beautiful God daughter Grace on her very first Christmas... I love this little girl so much and it's so awesome to have a baby in the family again that I can spoil. This is one of my favorite photos. D looks terrified holding her and she is having a ball. <br />

I am diligently working on my December Daily. I'm behind a couple of days but I'll play catch up on Saturday before I leave on my mini-getaway... I love vacations even if they are short... <br />
<br />
Anyway... I've been thinking of my new year resolutions for 2012 and my biggest goal is to "SAVE". It started with the concept of just saving money but it's evolved into a lot more for me. So my One Little Word for 2012 is "SAVE".<br />
<br />
Save is defind as: <br />
<br />
1. to rescue from danger or possible harm, injury, or loss: to save someone from drowning. <br />
<br />
2. to keep safe, intact, or unhurt; safeguard; preserve: God save the king. <br />
<br />
3. to keep from being lost: to save the game. <br />
<br />
4. to avoid the spending, consumption, or waste of: to save fuel. <br />
<br />
5. to keep, as for reuse: to save leftovers for tomorrow's dinner. <br />
<br />
I'm really excited about my word and the possibilites I can accomplish in 2012 if I stick with it. Have a happy Thursday and I'll be back with more DD photos this weekend...Adyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01424256621143423338noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5063014770759965343.post-86575614713257138232011-12-05T22:14:00.000-05:002011-12-05T22:14:39.116-05:00December Daily Day 1-4<strong><em><u><span style="color: red;">(PHOTO HEAVY POST...) </span></u></em></strong><br />
<br />
I wish I could post these daily but I'm being totally realistic in this journey. It took me awhile to decide on the design of each day. I want it to flow easily. I also wanted a technique I know I could do without resizing photos because Photoshop doesn't like me. I need straight out of the camera photos. So my Epson PictureMate printer is truly my workhorse during this project. <br />
<br />

Each day is divided with a Hambly overlay with ribbon on the edge. This was a great project because I really used a lot of ribbon that was sitting around for an eternity.<br />

Well that's all for now.

I jumped on the Ali Edward's bandwagon and I'm attempting yet another December Daily. I say this because I've been unsuccessful in completing an album as of yet. I'm determined to get it finished this time around. Please wish me luck...<br />
<br />
This is my album cover, spine and inside cover. I loved how Ali's cover turned out so I made my cover similar but with a pop of color. This was an interesting journey for me because I am a simple scrapper and I hardly ever use techniques. I painted a layer of Claudine Hellmuth Studio Gesso and then gave it a couple of layers of the semi-gloss acrylic paint. I had to be extremely patient and my friends know I have none. This is big peoples...<br />
<br />
When it came time to emboss, I visited Damaris. She was my cheerleader and guide in getting it straight and done correctly...We laughed alot because I kept saying " I'm scared "<br />

I found this challenge on Pinterest and then again on Trish's blog so I figured I'd jump in and give it a whirl, and hope it will spark my creativity. I plan on making them Instagram prints and creating a fun little mini. <br />

Did you miss me? I sure missed my blog and all the blogs I read. I've been out of commission for awhile but I'm feeling oh so better. My vertigo is ALOT better. I have moments here and there that it repeats but it isn't 24 hours a day 7 days a week. If this is what a cruise is going to do to me, I'll have to skip these types of vacations. Boo!<br />
<br />
Schools back in session and my life is back to schedules, homework, boy scouts and holding the fort down. My creative mojo has taken an extended vacation. I have at least four beautiful studio calico kits that haven't been touched. I hope to work on that this weekend and next. <br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">After dinner, Jorge and I went dancing with our friends. It's been way to long for me but after awhile at the club I realized that it's no longer my scene.

I'll be hanging out with my buddy Damaris checking out the latest and greatest new products debuting this month. </div><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">I can't wait to meet new people, ooh and aah on the wonderful new products and not to mention get some free stuff... Too bad I can't buy anything. (my hubby is happy about this)</div><br />

Don't tell my boy because we don't want any jealousy... She is a perfect little princess. My <a href="http://bunnydiaries.blogspot.com/">BFF</a> is in love and it melts my heart when I see her hugging her and taking in her scent. Oh that baby smell makes me want to have another child but don't worry that ship has sailed for me. I'm enjoying every minute I have loving on this beauty.<br />

My birthday is in 25 days and I'll be turning the big 37. It's really sad that I can't remember my age but when I hit 30, I stopped couniting. I guess that's a good thing because I'll be in my thirties foreva. LOL<br />
<br />
I have the cutest brown Polaroid camera but guess how many photos I have taken? Three photos peoples... That's all and I've had it for almost a year now. So I decided to take it on vacation and actually use it for a fun project I'm doing. I'll fill you in on another post. <br />
<br />
So I need the following in order to make it work for me:<br />

Vanessa wrote her baby a beautiful letter that brought tears to my eyes. You can read her <a href="http://bunnydiaries.blogspot.com/">post</a> here. I'm so happy, excited and blessed to be a part of her life. My son is 12 years old already and doesn't want to be treated like a baby so Grace is here to fill that void in my life.

This is one of the hundreds of photos we have of her two baby showers. I haven't even attempted to edit and print them. It was a beautiful vintage theme shower and I must say it was beautiful. You can see some of the detail shots <a href="http://bunnydiaries.blogspot.com/2011/05/my-baby-shower.html">here</a>. <br />

Read post below)</em></span><br />
<br />
Thanks to my friend <a href="http://searchingfornormalcy.wordpress.com/">Lou</a>, I'm over the moon excited about getting a <a href="http://www.eksuccessbrands.com/kandcompany/smash/">smash book</a>. You see, I'm a visual girl. I don't read descriptions, I just like pretty pictures when creating. Don't tell me how great a product is just show me and I'm in. After seeing Lou's book in motion I knew this was something I really wanted to have. So guess who's <a href="http://bunnydiaries.blogspot.com/">BFF</a> in the whole wide world (just brown nosing here for extra points and presents LOL)</div><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">I'm starting with this book because A: blue is one of my favorite colors and B: One of the pages has a rooster and I love roosters. So there's my expertise in choosing a smash book. Genius I tell ya...</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;">I bragged and bragged and bragged about these books with Vane that she broke down and bought everything in the collection for my Birthday!!! Whoohoo... (Doing the happy dance)</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Here are some of my favorite items in the collection:</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;">I can't wait to get started smashing my book. I'll definitely post pictures as soon as I get started. If you need or want some more inspiration check out the <a href="http://www.smashstoriesblog.com/">Smash Blog</a>.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Last but definitely not least, I want to wish all the Daddy's out there a wonderful Father's Day. I truly have lost the joy of celebrating this holiday because I lost my dad several years ago to cancer. I will however take today to celebrate him and all the wonderful things he did for us. He was a wonderful father, husband, brother, friend and human being.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

She did an amazing job creating my happy space in blog land. She executed it from start to finish. She had tons of ideas and we played with colors back and forth until she made sure I was happy with the look. I totally recommend her so if you jump on the bandwagon let her know I sent you. <br />
<br />
So I've decided to give one lucky follower a RAK in celebration. All you have to do is "Follow Me" and I will select a winner next friday. Those of you that are already following me will also be included. I have so much beautiful scrapbooking stuff that is not being used. They deserve a home that will actually use it...<br />
<br />
My mind is spinning and I have so many things to post about. My life is full and I've had so many blessings. I definitely will be back more often sharing these blessings with you. <br />
<br />

<a href="http://www.studiocalico.com/">Studio Calico</a> is having a <a href="http://studiocalico.typepad.com/studio_calico/#tp">blog hop</a> and I've hopped over to all the design team members blogs and was so inspired by the layouts using <a href="http://www.studiocalico.com/store/countryside">Country Side</a> and <a href="http://www.studiocalico.com/store/state-fair">State Fair</a> that I cut into my stash and created this layout for their weekly challenge.

Needless to say that I have been on the road to recovery and catching up on life. I have fully recovered my vision since my last post. I don't know if it was my nerves in my eyes adjusting themselves with time or if my vision returned because of accupuncture. Either way I can see 100% again with no vision loss. My eyes still get tired by the end of the day and my night vision still bothers me but I'm able to drive and fully function again... I am one happy Puerto Rican. </div><div align="justify"><br />
</div>I'm still not out of the woods because I have to undergo some testing to really get to the root of the problem but I feel so much better. <br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">On to fun stuff. This weekend we are celebrating the birth of my son. His birthday is Tuesday but with school and work there really isn't much time for play so we celebrated yesterday with a Movie party. He had a great time with his friends and family but lets just say that my day didn't start off that well. I'm a party planner peoples. I am extremely detailed oriented when it comes to parties and a control freak. I want everthing to go off without a hitch. So when we decided to do the movies, I thought " this is going to be laid back, easy going and stress free" I made the arrangements three weeks in advance put a deposit and was assured by the general manager at the theater that all I had to do was show up and everything would be done for me.</div><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">Guess what? We show up yesterday and they didn't know I was supposed to be there! WHAT!!! Stress levels increase, sweating begins, right eye starts twitching out of control. Manager explains that he was unaware of a party but that they would get the ball rolling. Twenty hungry kids, one hot party room equals one stressed out mom. I almost lost it but I took control of the situation and went into commander in chief mode. </div><div align="justify"><br />
</div>My son didn't even realize what was going on, he told me that he was having a great time. That's really what it's all about at the end of the day. He loved his party and I am one proud momma.<br />

Today I plan on taking him to pick out his gift. The boy has been saving is cash, gift cards to buy an IPAD 2 and he made his goal so we are off to locate one or possibly order it. Who knows.<br />
<br />
Have a happy Sunday.<br />
