A Dash of Scrapping, A Whole Lot of Random With A Side of Winner

First some business...the winner of a sweet little jar of my precious precious strawberry jam (hey, I've already polished off two jars!) is none other than...

*drum roll*

Lisa T! Oh snap! Send me your info Lisa and I'll get the jam out to you this week! Beware, this is NOT sugar free so I may be messing with your healthy eating! lol :P

I have a double page layout I did of Toot (what else is new?) for the monthly sketch contest over at LPS. The contest isn't over yet but I'm not close to winning and I wanted to post this so here it is! lol


Here they are together...

And here they are individually

Here's a little story for you concerning the right side layout. See that line on the bottom with the stitching and beads? Well, I decided to use my sewing machine to stitch on this layout and for some reason the needle wouldn't move when I pushed the peddle down. (Still don't know why?!) I finally got it to move and thought I was doing great till I realized that the stupid machine wasn't stitching squat, it was digging a huge groove in my paper! ACK! So I ended up stitching over it to make it look like I meant to do it and then dug a groove in the left side with scissors to attempt to match. *sigh*

Toot was 4 months old in these pictures which reminds me!

Guess who turned 8 months old today???

What? Hey, how did my picture get in there?! I may act 8 months old at times but it's not me! Hang on a sec...

Ah, that's better! Hard to believe she's 8 months old already...*sniff* Hey! If I put her in a 10 gallon tank, will she stay small like goldfish do?! Nah, I better not, that would probably get me on Cops or something...

Anyhoo, now for a new segment I like to call, "Kids TV: What The...???"

Now, I'm all for teaching children realistic things such as the right name for body parts and how boogers are really made (I'm pretty sure there aren't gnomes in my nose using pickaxes). But one day something caught my eye that I felt compelled to share with you all...

I was innocently watching "Charlie and Lola" one day (yes, I love this show. Don't you judge me! :P) When this came on screen:

You don't see it??? Let's see if I can help you out a little here:

That's right my dear friends...We are looking at doggie anus! I did a double take when I first saw this. *snicker* I guess they were going for a more realistic approach here. You know, there are just some words from my childhood that still make me giggle..."butthole"...hee hee

Hmmmmm....maybe it is my 8 month old birthday today!

So in conclusion, congrats to Lisa, (don't forget to send me your address ASAP katamommy at gmail dot com), my layout is oh so cute (do you think it's missing something??? I think it may be too simple and bare...argh! lol), sewing machines have it in for me and happy 8 months Toot! Also, dogs have...*whisper* you know whats!

hee hee...
