So much to share, so little time!

OMG! I know you know who that is below right? YUP YUP! That is the super YUMMY..Mario Lopez IRL people! He was here in Fort Lewis PX promoting his book Mud Tacos and his energy drink Celsius. My friend Mariely found out about this book signing and am I so glad she told me about it. We stayed in line for like 3 hours maybe 4 but who cares. It was so worth it. Here he was signing his picture! Gosh he is sooo GORGEOUS!

We didn't know where he was gonna be coming in but what a great surprise when we heard the screams from the front entrance. He ended up passing right by us. Look how close he was, I could have seriously tackled him to the ground if I wanted to! Heheheh look at those dang dimples ladies!

Here I am getting a tiny hug while taking our pics together. He was very sweet and patient. Man I thought I was a pretty brave and bold girl. But when it was my turn to get my book and picture signed I turned to a 12 year old little girl.

I got all shy and could not look at him in the eye. He was totally making eye contact I just couldn't do it. All I could say to him was "Hi Mario! How are you?" While looking at the table handing him my book. DUH! Ugh I felt so stupid. He was kind and said "I'm fine, how are you?" By the time I got next to him to take a picture I was shaking. He had to get close to me to take the picture and he could tell I was nervous and shaking and look at me kinda funny. He felt me shaking and after the pic he said..."Thanks mama!" Aaaaaaw, melt my heart!

I'm fine being shy, at least I didn't beg and act like a hoochie mama like the other girls. One girl asked to sit on his lap which I thought was way too much and another girl was screaming and calling his name and I think kissed him in the neck....(which I think cuz him to have a reaction cuz he took a break right after her and when he came back he was complaining about his neck and if you look closely on the first picture you can see his neck has a rash, ack!) He was way skinnier in person and way more quiet than what you see on T.V. All in all it was a great experience. To top it off, I just found out he is coming back in August. Woooo hoooo! You know who will be back to get a pic right???? yup yup!

My baby girl is a Girl Scouts! Aaaw, look at her wearing her Daisy Apron. I am so proud cuz I busted out my sewing machine to put on her patches which are on the back. The front side is all iron on so it was all good! This was the night of World Thinking Day for Girl Scouts here in our area. It was the first time she got to wear her apron. I am oh so proud of her. She has already memorized her Girl Scouts promise and has met her cookie sale goal. Two weeks from today they will do their oath ceremony and officially a Girl Scouts.

Lastly, I will leave you with a LO I created for AAM Challenge Blog. The theme this week is "My Personality" I didn't want to do a LO with what I thought I my take on my personality, instead I asked a couple of my friend to tell me what they think my personality is. And this is what I got: No holds bar, tell it like it is, crazy, funny, caring, loyal, giving and loving person.

I used my Feb. Nook Kit to create this LO. It's simple but I love how it turned out. You will have to excuse the poor quality of the pics. My new computer is a pain and wont let me download my photo editing software so I am having to use what came with it, which SUCKS! Sorry! Hopefully I can get a new one that works but for now my sucky pictures will do! You can check out the BLOG to see the rest of the DT's take on this challenge and to get inspired to make your own page.

Pictures for DADDY!

Since daddy is away for a military training, the only communication is through phone, text, email, blog or Facebook. And since Chabella has been on a fashion craze, daddy wanted to see what all the buzz was about!

Wednesday was a pretty boring day so I decided to take the kids to walk around for a bit, thinking I will pass by Marshalls to see if I could get this dress form that I was eyeing, but walk away from thinking it will be there later. Well that was not the case since all the clearance items have all been taken away. Which made me really sad. So as we were walking out we happened to pass the kids area which is a bad bad place. They have too many cute things. So a last minute walk through at Marshalls became a shopping craze for the kids. Well for Isabella anyway!

So daddy here is the first outfit that your daughter picked out this morning to wear to school! Isabella had gotten up earlier than me, which is nothing new. She usually sits in the living room/dining/kitchen area to watch her cartoon and eat gogurt! But when I got up, she was already dress. I mean with shoes and jacket ready to go. LOL! She was soo excited to go to school to show off her new outfit. It is not fancy or brand name, but my daughter loves skirts. She is a girly girl! And she is Hannah Montana, Barbie Princess and SUPER MODEL in her own little world and we let her! If you could just see the poses she was doing last night as we got home from shopping. Well cuz you know we had to try on all the clothes again with all the new shoes right?

A close up of the skirt she just LOVES! She was jumping and twirling trying to get the skirt to move. hehehe

And these are her new fave boots right now. They are Rachel Ashwell shoes totally bling out baby! I also got her a couple more knee high boots and I am sure I will be taking pics of those tomorrow. Well see what this diva has in store for me tomorrow! Oh she tried to tie her own shoes...can you see?
Wathca think?

*My Little Shoebox* Jan. DT Assignments

For the month of Jan. we got to play with what ever previously release line we wanted. It was a FREE FOR ALL challenge for the team. This was such an awesome challenge, cuz I got to use all my scraps to create my layered flowers. You know how sometimes you cut your 12x12 paper and you end up with strips of paper. Well that's exactly what I used for my flowers and they turned out so good. And even though all the PP are from different lines they all go together so well. I used the cuddlebug to make the flowers and a layer flower sizzix die cut.

PP: Little Lady, Little Birdie, Imagine a Forest and In Bloom

WOOT WOOT

I am so excited you guys! I got an email late last night that I was not expecting at all! It was from either Melissa or Miranda (not really sure)...from It's All About Me Challenge Blog asking if I would accept a DT position. WHAT,WHAT??? I applied for the DT call but I did not expect to get picked at all. So you can imagine the surprise look on my face when I read that email. I was totally doing the happy happy joy joy song and HERCULES HERCULES clapping hands thing. If you don't know what I am talking about, then I am a bigger GEEK than I thought! Ha!

I of course wanted to share the news but I for one follow the rules. Since it was not posted on the blog yet I could not share, but thankfully they posted it today and you can see it here: http://www.itsallaboutmechallenge.blogspot.com/ And you can see the rest of the girls that stayed from the original DT, the new DT and of course Guest DT''s. So weird seeing my face on the side panel....hehehe!

Anyway, I am still trying to find my way around the site and hopefully I can soon share all the up and coming events and challenges we come up with. I am excited to meet the girls and get to know them. Find out more info and start getting to work on some stuff. I am excited and nervous! Just need to relax and get comfy, I tend to get geeky and awkward when I am unsure of myself. So wish me luck and thanks for letting me share. I am off to add the blinky on my blog and link to the site. Oy! God help me, I always forget how to do stuff like that!

My Winter 2010 CHA Inspirations

Since I didn't get to go to CHA, I have been browsing the internet like a mad woman looking for inspirations. And thanks to Shopping Diva for posting her pics at Flikr where I found all these inspiring work from many of the manufacturers design team. So just so you know THIS ARE NOT MY PICS! But I am sharing them cuz they inspire me so much I figured one of you will get inspired too. I don't how you cant but anyway!

I have to tried to categorized them with what company they go to as best as I can. Shopping Diva did not have names but I could kinda tell who goes to what company. The rest that I am not sure of I have left at the bottom as to not make any body mad! ;) So here we go.,..lets get inspired and want to shop! hee
