… Lucky

This week at Scrap It With A Song we have the song “Lucky” by Jason Mraz.  This is a pic of me and my best friend Heather.  This was taken the day before she got married and it is one of my favorites. 

Heather and I met… gosh 17 years ago.  We both played the clarinet and met at marching band practice for our state fair (The Montana State Fair to be exact).  She had just moved to Billings and me being the social butterfly took it upon myself to become her friend.  The first day of high school, she had totally forgot my name but I forgave her and we have been friends ever since.  We went to college together and I am godmother to her gorgeous baby boy.  If you have been to my blog you have seen his picture tons of times cause that is what a majority of my pages are about these days.  She is truly a sister to me!!

Lucky Come play along with us! You know you want to… it will be fun!!

... i obviously can't spell

So I have been exposed as a non-speller. I have been suffering from the lack of correct spelling since I was a child. It was something that in my adult life I had thought I overcame and then today when i was cropping my next layout, i discovered that i am still inflicted. Let's see if you notice... it is pretty obvious.

This is my entry for These are a Few of My Favorite... Fictional Characters. I couldn't just pick one so I picked 9 and that was even hard. There were quite a few that almost made the cut! Here is what I picked:
  1. Anne of Green Gables ( I love the PBS Movie and Megan Follows!!!)
  2. The Office Cast (I adore these characters and like to think I am a little bit Michael and a little bit Jim!)
  3. Marshall & Lily (from How I Met Your Mother)
  4. Hermey (I have a collection of Hermey stuff that I put out every Christmas time. This is my favorite kid christmas movie!!!)
  5. PACEY Witter!!!!!! (By far the best character Joshua has ever played and I love me some Joshua!!!)
  6. Gilly!!! (This is a SNL character that is completely ridiculous but always makes me laugh)
  7. Conando (Conan's mexican soap opera alterego... Si Conando)
  8. ET (Who could not love this little alien!!!)
  9. DEXTER Morgan (My favorite friendly serial killer. It seems weird to root for a serial killer but every week I do!)

I had lots of fun with this one so I hope you like it!! Pin It

… that special thing

Just when I thought things were slowing down at work… I remember that October brings inspections.  My job is always changing.  Some months I feel like all I do is administrative tasks but for the month of October I feel like all I do is inspect college residences’ with fire and environmental health & safety officers to make sure the students are safe.  If you just got bored reading this… IMAGINE how boring it is to do :) LOL!!!!!!!  In reality it’s a good thing cause I work to make sure students are safe but boy I can’t wait ‘til November!!

BEHIND THE LAYOUT: Almost four years ago, my bestie got married!!! I have had the pictures laying around trying to get inspired to scrap her magical day. When I saw the sketch at Inspired Blueprints (which I just stumbled upon a few days ago) I knew it would be a great way for me to add multiple photos to one layout… I have probably 50 pictures from her wedding AT LEAST. I tried to use some of the important moments on this one layout.  I also used the song inspiration from Scrapping the Music for the title… THAT SPECIAL THING.  The song this week is flying without wing by westlife… I have to be honest I had never heard this song before but it was great!!! Hope you like it!!

that special thing
