Hit 100, life being 5, and the cat

Ok, so I have 3 more things I want to post before hitting my head to the bed. I finally hit 100 views on my favorite layout that I refered to a couple days back. I can link you to the site but unless you have an account, you may not be able to view it. http://www.3scrapateers.com/gallerypp/showgallery.php/cat/500/ppuser/24396 It is actually at 101, kind of ironic because of my page I created today called gingerbread 101. So Yipppeee. I am so proud of myself.

Next on the list is about my brave little girl going through her first life experience. At 5 years old, she got in the car after a full day of kindergarten and says to me last week that someone didn't want to play with her. I brushed it off, only to have her talk about it each subsequent day for the rest of the week. Well, it has become a problem for her and this little girl is starting to be mean to her. I feel so bad, and want to protect her from getting hurt, but I am now using this opportunity to teach her about different kinds of friends. Plus I am getting a lesson in not being able to control her life either...(ie who she plays with on the playground). How can kindergarten already have bullies?

And the cat, well, I am going to save this posting for another day...It will be a long one.

Gingerbread 101

I spent the evening last night after my long overdue hair appointment, having some QT with my dear hubby...(I fell asleep while he watched The bucket List). But I LOVE my hair. I went blonde after a long long time.
On another note, I came across these photos, and realized that I had not yet scrapped them. So, I found a wonderful collab kit called Grosgrain Girls by Color with Caryn, Scrappy Wiess Designs, and Mel Hains designs.

I think I used a bit from each kit. It is hard to tell. I just pulled bits and pieces from the entire collab.
I think that the colors worked perfect for the pictures. I really love to share the layouts with the designers, but sometimes, I just can't figure out how to do that. Oh well, maybe one day, when I get that extra two hours in the day back that are somehow lost, I will figure that out too.
