I Love Presents :-)

-He got me some little gifts for Sweetest Day...
-He was going to get me my flowers I like from Wal-Mart because they last FOREVER...
-But I said, "No, thats ok. You don't have to since I have to go back to school tomorrow."
-And then him picking up this CD for me when we were at Wal-Mart tonight because he remembered I wanted it...
-And then he picked out that cute little frame when we were at Kohls...it fits us so perfectly...but it's funny because it's such an odd little quote on there...how many people have relationships where they don't see their g/f all that often...lol, besides us?
-(Ok, I see him 4 out of 7 days of the week usually, but still, its hard when I am away at school)
-So these were my cute little presents he got me...
-I love them!

Oh My GOODness...

FINALLY, FINALLY, FINALLY ....

I am FINALLY ONLINE in my OWN ROOM at my APARTMENT. Oh, only took half of the semester, but I can FINALLY LOG ON not in the library, not in my roommates' rooms, not in the living room, not in the kitchen, but FINALLY in my OWN ROOM.

Purchase a wireless card. Take 4 weeks to realize the dang card isn't going to work with your laptop no matter WHAT ON EARTH you try, take that thing back and get a new one. That didn't work either. So take that back. Buy a 50 foot ethernet cord. That was too short.

So finally, the wonderful mixture: Take a 50 foot ethernet cord + a coupler + a 14 foot ethernet cord + 4 unhappy roommates bc there is a cord running through the house + 1 other roommate who doesn't care if they are mad bc they have had internet in their own rooms for the whole semester now = a happy Kayla.

I can shut the door and there will be no distractions!

What a truley blessed day!
(And I mean that!)

It *WAS* Fall ...

This lake and woods area (has a ton of trails and stuff) is a block away from my apartment. Sometimes it's hard to believe something so pretty is literally right outside my front door.

These were taken on Tuesday afternoon between my classes. This is where I sometimes go walking and running ... now it's just too cold to go there. I bet the lake has a bit of ice on the top now... just 3 days later! Brrr!

But, it was gorgeous, don't you think?

For Some Strange Reason...

I am the Christmas Spirit...well, the Martha Stewart version anyway. I am dreaming of December when I can post my own creations of the delicious items above...Christmas Shopping for gifts, listening to CD's, wrapping presents, making cutesy cards to send out, decorating a mini tree for my apartment, and taking LOTS of pictures...

Am I a dork or what?

Some Art

The first one is inspired by Kiesha Campbell...love love love her style.

She's probably my favorite "famous" scrapper.

Use some yummy new product from Making Memories...

The chipboard was naked when I got it

and I painted it up and splashed on

some glitter...yummy!!!!!!!

A Mini Book

Made this little book for my friend Alanna.

The pics were leftovers from the pile of from my trip when I visited her in Utah.

Pretty simple, but I like it!

The book is 6"x7".

Lots of florals and sparkles! Brighter IRL! :)

I hope she likes it!

(and I also hope she doesn't see my blog before she gets her suprise package!)

Pics, of course, are out of order! :)

(yep, thats me in the pic. we were making goofy faces...lol)

Four Things...Thanks Michele

A) Four jobs I have had in my life: Deli Girl (cooked and served), YMCA Daycare Teacher, Rainbow Connection Daycare Teacher, and the 4th is yet to come!

B) Four movies I could watch again: How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days, The Wedding Planner, Maid in Manhatten, Sweet Home Alambama

C) Four places I have lived: I've only lived in two towns, so I will do four places I have lived in-- 2-story Yellow house, Current tri level tan house, the dorms (3 rooms total), and my current apartment at school. Whew!

D) Four TV shows I like to watch: One Tree Hill, Gilmore Girls, Will & Grace, Flip That House

E) Four places I have holidayed: Mexico, Domincan Republic, Myrtle Beach, Venice Beach

F) Four regular websites I visit: Scrapjazz... (other than that is just blogger, email, class website, etc)

G) Four of my favourite foods: This is always hard. I never know what to answer because I like a LOT of different things. I think you all know my favorite drink is an iced mocha though. :-)

H) Four places I would rather be right now: At home scrapbooking; on vacation; spending time with Greg; or shopping (that being said, I'd also like to be spending an endless amount of mooo la!)

More from my Scrap A Thon...(or so it seems!)

The 9/11 one is from a challenge I started at Scrapjazz. Basically just scrap 9/11 and your feelings about the day, or whatever stand you'd like to take on that day. Let's see your layouts...

{ A Couple More }

Just a few more

Of some work I did today.

I think I need to go back and darken up

the journaling on the Dudes one...

But you know me...

I'm kinda lazy...and I can still read it...

So that probably won't happen!

Why do I admit these things?

*smiles*

Be Free

This one took a lot of "prep work!" I sat and resized all those pics and made them all fit like that...whew!

It's done!

Thanks for lookin'!

Luv 2 Bake

While I'm at the computer, here is another.
Pic is BRIGHT in real life...my scanner hates pictures!

Doing This...

Because I am bored and don't want to go back to my apartment yet. It's 5:19 pm and I have no studying to do...and without a tv or internet...what is a girl to do besides sit at the campus library computer lab?

So, I am doing this instead: (and perhaps finding some interesting things on the inernet!). Found this on Kelly Purkey's blog....

1. If you could build a house anywhere, where would it be? Probably somewhere on an island in the Carribbean--think: turquoise blue water, white sand, island vacationy fun, nude beaches (JUST KIDDING!)...but the more I sit and think about it, it would be somewhere near my hometown, because, honestly, I really like being there :)

2. What's your favorite article of clothing? My cream low v-neck top from Aeropostale with bling around the V...so cute, trendy, girly, dressy but casual, sexy, and chic all at the same time!

3. Favorite physical feature of the opposite sex? I love eyes...

4. What's the last CD that you bought? The newest Nickelback CD...LOVE #6!

5. Where's your favorite place to be? When I am up at school, home. When I am at home (on breaks and in the summer and such...) I love being on vacations or my friends' houses. Well, that or my scrapbook room!

6. Where is your least favorite place to be? Yeah....that would be working at daycares...lol...so why do I do it? Hmm good question! Oh yeah, and I also dislike going to WalMart.

7. What's your favorite place to be massaged? My shoulders/upper back

8. Strong in mind or strong in body? My mind I suppose.

9. What time do you wake up in the morning? As of the past two days...5:30 am. Fun stuff, hey? I think not...before, in the glorious days of my "summer vacation," I got to sleep till 9!

10. What is your favorite kitchen appliance? I am quite fond of the KitchenAid Mixer!


12. If you could play any instrument, what would it be? A fiddle. Naw, jk...I have no idea. Played the clarinet in 6th grade and sucked...not musically inclined I guess!

13. Sorry folks, there isn't a #13!

14. Which do you prefer...sports car or SUV? Neither. Can't drive stick, dont want to pay for the gas...ha...

15. Do you believe in an afterlife? Yes, I do strongly. I don't deny Heaven but I don't believe in it either...I have a strong belief that we'll find out everything when we die, and all our struggles in life will make sense at that point.

16. Favorite children's book? Chicka Chicka Boom Boom! "Do you have enough room?" A to B, and B to C, I'll race you to the top of the coconut tree!" Wow..........well, thats me!

17. What is your favorite season? I think summer. Hot. Tan. Bright Colors. Ahhhh...

18. What is your least favorite household chore? D-i-s-h-e-s

19. If you could have one super power, what would it be? Teleporting? Is that what its called? When you can be one place, think where you want to be, and POOF, you're there...I hate driving, flying, walking, etc etc etc!

20. If you have a tattoo, what is it? I have two tiny black outlines of butterflies on my upper right back/shoulder area...and then my new one is on the top of my right my foot...solid back Chinese symbol meaning "SHE"...thinking about getting another on my other foot :)

21. Can you juggle? I'm pretty sure this question gets a "no," but I'll try sometime and let ya know...yep, so NOT going to do that...


23. What's your favorite day? Probably Friday, when all my duties for the week are done...then I can just relax!

24. What's in the trunk of your car? Figure skates, a furry white winter mitten (the other is in my center counsel...I should reunite them, huh?) jumper cables, spare oil (car eats it like its candy), and a brown grocery bag full of plastic deli container lids (to donate to something kid related for paint dishes)...random, hey?

25. Which do you prefer, sushi or hamburger? I have only experienced sushi on one occasion, in a gourmet Japanese restaurant in Mexico...it was soooooo delicious, but I dont know if thats what all sushi tastes like...not a big fan of hamburgers...so for the sake of curiosity, I'll take the sushi.

Game over!

Back at School

Moved into my apartment yesterday...and my bedroom super cute :-) I live with four other people...3 girls and one guy...we all have SO MUCH STUFF....thank god we have our own rooms because our panty and kitchen (which are HUGE) are all FULL and so is the fridge...haha everthing is SOOO jam packed!

I will post some pics of the place when we get internet at the apartment...that should be in later this week. Until then, I'm stuck only using the computers at school in between classes! Frustrating!

So, sorry if I don't post much!
