Capture the Everyday Moments

K so DPayne from SC posted a challenge for the 7.8.9 10:11:12 challenge :-) You could join too! The challenge was to scrap that photo we took for Liz's Challenge. I had so much fun with this LO. Tried out misting (Maya Mist Turquoise) and i used my yummy camera stamp with frame. I didnt use much PP at all and i think i like what i came up with! Scrapping has been a blast lately for me (ive always enjyed capturing memories, but the process has been way fun as of late). Well here is is Enjoy! :-)
I am off to get back to work. 2 more weeks from today is my last day. I have been thinking about using this blog to not only track my scrappy goodness but also to document the life of an IPAP student when i get to school. This would be for people who have been accepted to the program and are interested in what life is like, but also for me to look back on later.
Love,
Rachael

I took on a fun little challenge by Liz where i took a picture on 7/8/09 at 10:11:12 :-) I was at work and only had my iphone so the pic is stinky, o well i guess thats part of the whole challenge to just capture that moment (not to retake and retake). So here is my photo and i will be scrapping it tonight hopefully!! You can still do this tonight at 10:11:12 PM :-) You should play along too :-)

July SC kit is in...

And i have never been on such a scrapp'n high! YAY for my scrapp'n Mojo! Anyways here are a coupe LO's.

This one i did a couple days ago for fourth of July. I did this page to document why we are so lucky to be American. Its some older JBS PP from my Sept 2008 WIP kit.Anyways i recieved my July SC kit Documentary and was super inspired. I am loving this kit! The next LO i did last night. I think i chanelled my inner Stephanie Howell to do this page, because it was a page about me and i never do those. So this Page is about me getting ready to go to Physcian Assistant school and my fears of leaving my hubby and baby behind.
Ok so finally i did another page with this yummy kit and i really like this one. It is basically telling my daughter that my world is perfect with her in it. I was totally inspired by Emily Anderson on this one, you should chack out her blog (she is the reason i started one, though i get sidetracked and forget to post alot :-) ). Anyways here it is...Thanks for stopping by and looking, i am heading off to work now :-) Have a great Wednesday.

Happy 4th of July.. Belated

We had a really good 4th of July, how about you??!! We just BBq'd with friends and shot off the small fireworks in the backyard. Oh and Sparklers were my fav! I really am so proud to be an American. The rights i have in comparison to many of the middle easter countries are so AWESOME! I can vote, work, serve my country, choose the man I marry, marry for love, the right to be an individual, right to worship as i please and the right to wear what i choose. Seriously i am so happy and proud to be an American Woman, and glad for my daughter too!

So i have gotten some Lo's done and have not updated so here we go!! SC is my new FAV place!



I have a mini that i havent posted... i need to get the pics first! Next time :-)

Oh and my camera lens, while traveling to Toledo to visit my Mom, was broken :-( I seriously shed TEARS over it! Anyways it was a blessing in disguise because i am now a proud owner of a 50 MM 1.8 lens and i couldnt be happier (still getting used to no zoom though!). I forsee a LO on that topic soon with the new SC Camera stamp coming tomorrow (YAY)!

Exausted

NEED SOME SLEEP!!! :-)

Disney World

So this is seriously i think 3 posts in a row (thats a big deal for me, i want to blog more).

This weekend was pretty good, we took it easy because we have an exercise this week where we work 12 hour shifts. That makes us exauted so we have to rest the weekend be4 and after. However this weekend i leave for Ohio with Ava, we are going to visit my Mom for a week. I am pretty excited!!

I just finished watching the Hills... Its really hard for me to believe that Spencer has actually changed, he's just so sleezy! And i am sad Lauren is leaving. I think she is he reason i watch the show (i know i am grown watching a staged reality TV show).

Today i got the Shark, and i am in love. Its a steam mop and it totally rocks!! I love having things that make cleaning easier, and it totally does!

So i made those pinwheel thank you cards last night and i am posting the pic below. I also organized my scrapping area. It was just a desk in my Living Room, but the desk was way to narrow (it was one that came with the modular storage cubes. So i moved into the guest room. I am liking it so much better (so much more room to create with). I will post pics when i finish organizing. I can't wait to actually SCRAP on it! I AM SOO EXCITED for my June kit to get here (and sad i will be in Ohio).


And i leave you with my disney pics its our DREAM pics (yeah i want to be a princess go figure), we had so much fun even though it rained 90% of the time. Well i may not be posting for a few days due to the work schedule. Goodnight and have a great week!!

Changes

Life is about to change for me at the end of July... something i am excited about but yet dreading at the same time. I was selected for a Physician Assistant Scholarship for the Air Force, sounds great right? Well i will be seperated from Jayson for 2 years and Ava for the first year. I am excited that i will get books tuition and a great education for free (and get a pay raise from what i am making now). But i will miss a year of my baby girls life... a YEAR!! And i am not sure how living without my hubby that i love so much will go. He makes me smile and laugh everyday, they both bring so much sunshine into my every day. Today was a depressing day, there were definitely some tears. BUT this is a ince in a lifetime opportunity and these sacrifices i make now will better our entire future, not to mention allow me to reach some of my personal goals that were set for myself 6 years ago (when i joined the Air Force as an enlisted Airman).

Sorry about the somewhat heavy post, i want this to be somewhere that i can be REAL and not but on a picture of a picture perfect life.

I have some pics of Ava's first Birthday Party... Next post will be some from Disney! So enjoy the pics and i am off to make some pinwheels for my Thank You cards i have to make tonight. I am excited. Night!!

XOXO
