Things you gotta do at least once -

So I've been thinking, and there's just some things in life you got to experience - hence my pierced tragus :-P.

I'm going to start up a list here of these things/activities. I'll keep adding to them as I think of more :-). Don't worry, this list will not include doing drugs of any kind or smoking cigarettes, I'm strongly opposed to that.

Here we go -

• Go Skydiving
• Learn to drive a motorcycle
• Get a tattoo
• Go Zorbing
• TRY to snowboard
  
• Ski
• Climb a mountain - even a little one
• Swim with a dolphin - I've done this before but I want to do it again :-)
• Be a member of the audience in a TV show - how cool would that be?
• Learn to ballroom dance
• Go camping
• Scuba dive
• Run a marathon

This is all I have for now... It's a pretty solid list though, don't you think?

Summer Lovin'

I LOVE this page, if I may say so myself :-P

I fell in love with this paper as soon as I saw it. It's as if a vision had come to my mind with some waves and some surfing penguins. Aren't they adorable?

I was so excited the whole time making this, just ask any of the croppers :-)

Crate Paper - Static

Made this sample layout for Scrappy Boutique using only ONE sheet of pattern paper (double sided).

This is one of the upcoming Crate Paper lines that Stacey ordered from CHA. When she asked for some single sheets so she could make a layout with a "coming soon" sign this is all she got! (It's the cool blue one and the creamy one)

So here's what I did with one sheet of pattern paper. Thanks for looking :-)

Pierced Tragus it is!

So I did it! I still can't believe it. Whoever knows me knows that this is a big deal for me lol. I just woke up one day and said.. I wanna pierce something, I figured its something that you just got to experience at least once in life (I got my ears pierced in the hospital a few days after i was born so those don't count) plus if I ever get tired of it I'll just take it out.

It was a very interesting experience. I mean, imagine me (dressed as above) walking in a tattoo place. funny sight isn't it? Anyway, Dean was with me the whole time and it was really nice to experience this with him. You're also probably wondering how bad it hurt; to be honest, it didn't. The guy kept asking me if I was ok, and I'm thinking "is he doing anything?" lol. I couldn't believe it wad over so fast! Hopefully it'll heal fast too, it feels kinda sore right now.

Now.. I gotta be honest, I'm not a fan of the ring its way bigger than anything I would want there lol, but in 6 weeks (I know it sounds like a long time but it'll go fast) I get to change it for a tiny little gem, I think it'll be super cute! Right on time for my graduation!

It was an overall fun-different night.. we went to the movies after I got this done and watched Jumper :-)

Funny Day

Crazy day.. Are you ready for this?

So we decided to finally check out Old Town Kissimmee and we were kinda disappointed. I dunno what we expected to see, maybe they were too high, but it wasn't the "old" we were expected.

Then we drove by celebration, nice town, but not much to do.

We were then trying to find a close by mall to see if I could get my tragus pierced. And OMG we ended up in the Osceola Square Mall. Now I wasn't looking to find not FL Mall or Millenia, but lets just say that it was more like a strip mall. There's nothing wrong with that, just not what we were waiting/wanting to see.

We headed to Prime or Premium Outlets right after, whichever one is the one on Lake Buena Vista lol. Our day was starting to look up.. But it was so hot we got cranky after a while. Not to mention we discovered that Claire's does not pierce your tragus...
*Pictures above were taken here*

Millenia Mall here we come! I dunno in how in the world we thought we were gonna find a piercing place there, but we went anyway. We walked around, had a good time and I ended up buying this really adorable shirt at Macy's that was 40% off.. SWEET! :-D

We were starving by then... So we headed home and went with my parents to Costa del Mar, this peculiar Spaniard restaurant, ate some good "paella" and some awesome dessert.

Then I got sick.. :-(

I warned you it was a crazy day!

Valentines Day

Isn't he a sweetie? He showed up on my doorstep with all of this!
The balloon that sings, some flowers that I smell every day when I wake up, and every night right before bed, a home-made light thingy (the heart next to the flowers) like the ones you buy at Disney but MUCH better; you press the middle button and then it lights up all over in the signs that say: I love you, I need you, I miss you, etc. It's the sweetest thing ever. And to top it off, cuz this is how awesome he is, he had a little jewelry box on my door's railing with a "rock" - more like those brown things you find next to sidewalks lol- inside (from Good Luck Chuck, signifying that he wants me forever). He just never ceases to amaze me.

So it was a good night.. we ate pizza while watching Rain Man, made that comic strip below and watched lost while munching on the chocolates I forgot to mention above :-P

I guess it was what Valentine's Day is supposed to be about. Full of love.

Twilight - Official Cast Pictures

So.. if you are a reader, you gotta read Twilight.

Its about love and vampires, but mostly about love. Anyway, I'm excited cuz they're making it a movie! I doesnt come out till late, late this year, so there's not much to say about it.

If you're not a reader just wait for the movie to come out.. Hopefully it'll be as good as the book.

Here's the official cast pictures for the Cullen's family (the vampires with supernatural abilities)

From left to right:
Emmet, Rosalie, Esme, Edward (Main character), Carlisle, Alice (My fave) and Jasper.

I'm morphing HA HA

Happy Valentines Day Everyone!

Dean and I had fun today.. few more pics to follow. But I wanted to post this right away, we made it together, his idea, my knowledge of photoshop, and our creative inputs.

We had to compromise quite a bit, but we're pleased with the result. It's our first comic!

Big Tree Park

Dean and I spent Sunday together.. It was exciting to have the whole day to ourselves. We went to the Flea Market at Sanford (Don't even get me started on that. Let me just say I don't plan on going back!) and after to the Big tree Park. It was kinda small but nice. There were two cool - looking trees and one of the is the oldest in America! Then we watched Good Luck Chuck - Funny movie I tell ya.. Overall it was a great day!

Dean's getting eaten by the camera tripod/spider! YIKES!

Big tree number one - I believe this one is the oldest one. Cool isn't it?

*no comment*

Big tree number two - this one is the companion of big tree number one. How sweet...

Isn't he handsome? This picture is adorable, no matter what he says :-P


And then there's us.. being silly as always.

Wynett, Eileen and I went to Disney Magic Kingdom last Friday. It was so much fun! we took tons of pictures and rode on several memorable rides. I'm glad I got to do this with them. I sure hope we get to hang out again some time soon!


Riding Buzz Light Year! I think I kicked their butt! :-P

Wynett fell in love with all the pirate stuff at Disney, we didn't get any but we have the pictures for the memories..
I don't remember where we are here.. but it looks like we're having a blast!

OH! the teacups.... I don't even know what to say about this.. They really didnt know what was coming, I told them to hold for dear life but I don't think they believed me ;-) I'm pretty sure they both enjoyed it though, we couldn't stop laughing.

Think Pink - Go Green

They're here! Cute bags for your everyday scrapbook needs. Everyone is going green, and so is Scrappy Boutique! Check out this eco-friendly bag design by your own - me :) It was a lot of fun to design this and I'm really happy with the outcome.
