Flip Flop Album

I made this beautiful Flip Flop album using Stampin' Up papers and some other stuff I had around.  It is so simple and a real beauty.  I love it!

 

 

 

As you can see, I've added photos, embellishments and journaling.  I then gave it to my mom for her Mother's Day.  She loved it.  I included pictures of my son; but also a few of my niece and nephews as well, so she has a great collection of our Christmas together and a few snaps as well.

 

Okay, so I have NO IDEA how to turn the photos (they're right sided on my computer) and after struggling to figure it out for a while, I GIVE UP!  Anyway, you can click the photos and see an enlarged view.  Enjoy!!

 

Super Easy Tacos!!!!

I made these super easy tacos tonight and my son devoured them!  Just a pound of browned ground beef, taco seasoning, some "bowl" shaped tortilla chips and toppings!

 

Place cooked beef in tortilla bowls, top with cheese and bake 350 degrees until cheese melts.  Once you take them out, serve'em up.  We topped them with sour cream, salsa, guacamole, olives, or you can add any tasty topping you like to them.  They are quick, delicious and much neater than traditional tacos.  Tiny tacos in bite sized pieces.  

Don't forget the taco sauce!!!! Enjoy!

Life is interesting.

Well, I've been going right along with it.  Seeing an allergist over the last few weeks trying to find out what is causing my nose to run constantly.  UGH!  Went to see an ENT who referred me to this new guy. 

Gave my dog a haircut.  He went out to the mobile groomers van a Pomeranian and came back a Chihuahua.  LOL!

He's a cutie.  Ever since he got shaved, he's acted like I'm going to leave him or something; but it was a necessary evil.  He was matted up since his last bath and he was due.  I just love the little bugger.  He's my buddy. 

I have a passion for Poms.  He makes my 5th one (not counting puppies my baby girl had).  I just love these little guys.

I'm so sick of being sick.  I've been trying to do some art therapy.  I'm working on a few "art journals".  One is of songs I love.  Just putting them down on paper and decorating and journaling about the music.  Music has been so important in my life that I find it very easy to make this one.  Another one I'm working on is for "Doctor Who" the BBC television show.  I just love the Doctor and share this obsession with my son. 

I was having a lot of trouble staring at the blank page.  I wasn't getting any ideas, any notion what to do to that blank page.  I'm so lost sometimes.  I've got the talent; but it just seems that lately I'm so lost that the ideas just don't come.  Of course, I've kept written journals for years.  I can write anything, anytime, anywhere.  Even if it is only just one sentence, I'll put it down.  Any idea.  I just have to get it out and on paper.  I love the written word.

I have been reading a LOT lately, though.  I have a Kindle Fire and I've been downloading free books everyday and reading them as fast as possible.  I'm devouring them like a crack addict.  LOL!  It's funny the different genre's that I've been reading through.  Mystery, fairytale, true life, crime, etc.  I'm so loving them all.  Right now I'm reading one that is about a rock musician who has come back to God.  It's really interesting.  From God to drugs and back again. 

My bible studies are concluding for the summer soon and my son is going to Texas with my folks to see my sister and her family.  <sigh>  I'm going to miss him so much; but I know he'll have fun with them.  He's looking forward to the trip.  I'm going to try and post more blog entries, especially when I create.  I really want to create and share more. :)
