Get Munked with Alvin and the Chipmunks 2: The Squeakquel

I'd like to make myself believe that Planet Earth turns slowly

I made a blogwear set that includes a background, labels, a divider, and headers. It's available on my digital scrapbooking blog, Redhead Scraps, if you are interested. (or just click on the image below, if you want to download it!) I am using it on the scrapping blog right now if you want to see it in action. Here is the preview of the set:
Download here on 4shared. Enjoy and have a great day!

Here a scrap, there a scrap, everywhere a scrap, scrap!

Over the past year or so, I have been really into digital scrapbooking.  I also have a new passion for doing anything in Adobe Photoshop Elements that my sister Emily gave to me for Christmas last year.  I thought, since I love getting all those digital scrapbooking freebies, I would contribute some digital freebie kits of my own and start designing.  It is so much fun that I have started a whole new separate blog for all my designs called Redhead Scraps.  I have my first kit that I have ever designed as a freebie that you can download if you are interested in that sort of thing.  It's called "Polka Dot Poppy" and I will put more freebies up as I create.  Here is a preview of the kit:

 

As my personal friends, I would be happy to take any requests to make a certain kit in specific colors, topic, and such.  Just leave me a comment here or on my Redhead Scraps Blog.  Who knows what will come of it.  For now, it's just for fun!  I have recieved many really nice, sweet comments on my first kit; so, it's already been very rewarding. 

I would love to know what you think.

Dead and gone

I got my hair cut in half a few weeks ago and I forgot to post pictures of the before and afters.  It has been about 2 years since I cut my hair.  I know... I am cheap like that.  I donated 14 inches to Pantene: Beautiful Lengths.  I chose them instead of Locks of Love because Beautiful Lengths gives their wigs away for free to cancer patients; whereas, Locks of Love charges a fee for their wigs and they also sell "unusable" donated hair.  (In 2005, they sold $352,401 of donated hair... kinda sketchy.)  So here are my pics.... 

What do you think?

I'm a little pumpkin, orange and round; Here is my stem and there is the ground...

These are the pumpkins we carved this year.  Allison's is the cat that she drew and carved (with a little help), Mine is Mickey Mouse, Chad's is the Scary Tree, Tyler's is the Bat Face, Drew is the Happy Face, and Jeremy's is the Ghost.  If you hover your mouse over the picture you can see what they look like at night! :)

We are pumpkins big and round...

I failed to post any of these Fall/Halloween Pictures, so I am posting them now. Enjoy!

A Camping we will go...

We went on our 4th annual Campfire FHE to Mueller Park this year.  We made some s'mores and they wre yummy.  The kids had fun and we got a few really cute pictures out of it...

Video Killed the Radio Star

If video killed the radio star, is Facebook aka. social networking killing the personal Blog? Just seems like fewer and few people are using them, reading them, and posting to them for personal things like pictures and such.

On the other hand, I see more technical business related blogs than ever popping up all over. It's like having your own column for that forum. . .

Just my two bits worth,

Our Haunted Little House

I saw this and decided to try it for myself cause I thought it looked fun and I love playing around with Photoshop Elements... Below is my house turned into a haunted house!

Tyler... It's Your Birthday!

Happy 1st Birthday, Tyler!  We love you! You are such a happy baby and laugh at anything and everything! We are so glad we have you!

I got a feeling that tonight's gonna be a good night.

I hope you had the time of your life... watching this!

Bear Lake Fun!

We went to Bear Lake and had a blast playing with cousins, building sandcastles, riding fourwheelers, and watching fireworks! I'm so glad that my kids will be able to have the same fun memories of spending summer vacations at Bear Lake. It was one of my favorite places as a kid and I hope it will be for my kids too!

Family Reunion 2009

Park City was the location for one of our Family Reunions this year. It was filled with lots of pool time, alpine slide runs, outlet shopping galore, pizza partys, major game playing, and fun relay races. Here's a few pictures of the fun times!
