How to edit?

I see so many mistakes I have made and I tried to edit my posts and it doesn't save my edits!
Does anyone know what I am doing wrong? (Besides spelling words wrong, not spacing correctly, etc. lol)
Thanks!

Am I Crazy?

I am going with Brooke on a Girl Scout Camporee! Lots of girls, sleeping in a tent, 38 years old.....need I say more? I will be happy tho, because it'll make Brooke happy. I learned the hard way with Christopher that kids grow up soooooo fast. I think what I dread the most is driving there. I HATE to drive even more than I hate to mate socks!!!!!!! I'll be ok, tho. Momma and Aunt Lois are praying for me. :-)

May 3, is National Scrapbook Day! I would like to scrapbook the whole entire day and not have to do anything else! Think it's gonna happen? ha!

Here are a couple roses I made. It blurred after I put it on the blog. Oh, well. This is on the cake I made in class.

The red one I made at home before class. Come to find out.....I've been making them backwards. Why am I not surprised?And here is my dear daughter practicing making leaves. She actually did better than a lady in my class. I was impressed! :-)I guess I should get things done before I have to leave for camp. I think I should take a nap. Yeah, that sounds really good right now. It's probably the best thing I could do to get ready. Later.......ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

Wanted: Motivation

I am so looking forward to the kids getting out of school and being home but.....WHY must the last two months be so hectic. I think I'm so behind it'll take all summer to get caught up. lol

I'm enjoying the things that we are doing.......Field Trips, Girl Scouts trips, Revival, School Programs, Fund Raisers,(ok, I DON"T enjoy them, except for Girl Scout cookies. They sell themselves)etc. but it gets old having to rest so much in between so that I'm able to do them. It's like, OK, I have cake decorating classes Tues., church Wed., so I better rest up on Thurs. and Fri. so I can go on the Girl Scout Camping trip on Fri. night. Ugh!
Ok, vent over. I AM thankful that at least my problems aren't terminal but I would like to be normal now and then. (No comments on that one, please! lol)

Anyway, I do have one positive.......I have kept my laundry caught up even tho we are in Revival. THAT is an accomplishment! lol

I did practice rose making this week. My sis and I are making my niece's wedding cake so we are gonna be making a lot of practice cakes. Anyone want some cake?????? Actually, I've done alot on my own and so has my sis. A friend, Sandra, showed me how to do some of it and the rest I learned by trial and error. I love to make gingerbread houses, too. Anyway, my niece went and tried wedding cakes from professional places and didn't like them so asked my sis to do it. Elaine's like, "Sure, and Eddyth will help!" lol I'm excited about it, really. I've always wanted to take Cake Decorating classes so this is something on my list of things I want to do in life that I will be able to mark off.

I need motivation to............go thru all kinds of stuff that's been stored away while we were adding on to/remodeling our house. The hardest part of the house is done but I really just haven't found the motivation to drag stuff out and get rid of. Actually, I did go thru some magazines and other stuff while I was sick because I could do that sitting but now I need to do the BIG stuff. I need my momma. She is a warden (A sweet warden, tho. lol) when it comes to getting me and my sis to deep clean but she's been sick. Momma is soooooo organized! Kinda like Lisa! Hey, my scrapbook stuff is organized! Does that count? lol

I am rambling on and on like someone wants to hear all of this. Oh, well! I'm having fun! lol

Brooke started violin lessons Thurs. and she is so excited about it. I didn't tell her but I am listening and plan to try my hand at it. I'll practice when she's at school! :-)

Christopher got his first vehicle, a truck. My little boy is growing up. I am sooooo sad when I think about him going to college and he still has one more year of high school left. I guess that's normal.

I guess I'll get off of here for now but thought I would share something I did with scrapbook paper. Christopher did his room in electric guitars and I couldn't find a double light switch cover to match so I made one by hodge podging paper onto a plain one. He really liked it so I guess mom did ok. :-)

A little bit of this and that

I did a little bit in spite of my "sickness"! I am SOOOOOO sick of being sick! If it isn't my crazy fibro then I catch some goofy bug from anywhere and everywhere. It seems like just about the time things start to dry up a little and I start feeling better, they predict rain again. UGH! Ok, enough venting! The shelf and sconces were brown and made to look like wood. It just didn't go with my new wall color so I painted them. I think I'm really gonna like it. I do need to put another candle in there. lol

Two nights ago I went in to tell my DD 8 goodnight. She wanted me to lay down with her for a minute so I did. We cuddled and I told her I needed to get to bed and she said ok. Then I got to talking to her, telling her that I loved her, that she had a special place in my heart that NO ONE could take and she was like "Bubby, too!" I told her yes and then was rubbing her face, pushing her hair back etc and she pipes up and says, "So do you want me to tuck you in, or what?" lol I think she was ready for me to get to bed. She was tired! That's my girl!

Here she is jumping off the wood pile that is waiting for the log splitter!!!! I did get some really cute pics that day.

My niece is getting married and we are having a shower for her Sat. I have been stressing because I'm sick and want to get things done. I'm hoping to make the mints instead of buying them. Homemade is soooo much better! UGH! My body has betrayed me. I even missed church tonight. Phooey!

Anyway, hopefully, next week will be better. The kids are on Spring Break and we have some plans. Let's hope I can keep them. I'm hoping to scrapbook with friends on Thurs. Oh, yeah, Hopefully, I'll feel better by this Friday. Lisa and I are gonna get together and scrapbook while the guys get together! I'm looking forward to it!!!!!

This and That

Well, my little girl had a birthday and now she's 8! They grow so quickly! Here she is on her birthday playing her "pink" DS. We were supposed to go to grandma's and Uncle Bill, Aunt Elaine, Elizabeth, and Mark were coming to go out to eat with us at CiCi's. Needless to say, with our little ice storm, that got cancelled. She was pretty bummed but we wound up having a great time with just the 4 of us. We're gonna do it this Tuesday instead.

I am so looking forward to Spring Break!!! I love having my kids home with me! Today was a flex day that Brooke's school didn't use for a snow day so she had NO SCHOOL! We slept in and I loved it. I am a night owl, NOT a morning person.

I have done a little scrapbooking. I'm working on Brooke's Girl Scout pictures.

I have done a little organizing, too. Christopher helped me move the LR around and I love it. In the process I did some cleaning and I think this will be so much easier. A friend of the family passed away so I've been a little blah and not done as much as I would have liked to.

Monday, My best friends mom is having surgery so if anyone does chance to read this blog, prayers for Shirley would be appreciated.

I think I'll head over to my favorite organizing blogs and see if I can get motivated. Maybe I'll find a challenge! :-)

Have a great day!

Getting back in the mode......

Of cleaning! I had a bad few days and didn't work on my organizing but I'm ready to get back to it. My sis is beating the socks off of me! She's on a roll! I think the only way I can get Brooke's room to be easy to keep clean is to organize toys in more totes, label, and put part of them in the garage. When she's in the mood to play with something I can just bring in that tote! We'll see how it works. :-) I even got my friend, Darlene, on the ball. She took pics of before and after to show me. It looked pretty awesome. Lisa...............She is an organizing queen and her house always looks awesome. Well, unless I'm there scrapbooking. LOLOLOL When I grow up I'll have a clean house like her! Bwahahahaha!

Well, I'm gonna share a few sb pages. The first one is one that Lisa likes. I paperpieced an Uno card because I couldn't find anything at the sb store for Uno.

The next one I paper pieced the Phase 10 card as a border.

And this page is my baby boy when he was a Tiger Cub in Boy Scouts. My baby is now 17 and 6'5". :-)

Wow, I wish someone could give me a swift kick and get me going! I have all these ideas I want to do to get organized and I just don't know where to start. Maybe I'll check out some more oganizing blogs to get me jump started. I hope everyone has a great day!

Scrapbooking and More Organizing

Scrapping fun!

I had a great time over the weekend scrapbooking with friends. My best friend from kindergarten, and another friend from kindergarten got together and we had so much fun. Well, except for the times when I kept having stickers from a prickly pear removed from my hands!!! Did you know that when you buy a prickly pear at the grocery to eat that there are still stickers on there? Big time!?!?!?!?! I got like 15-20! No fun at all! It felt like we were kids again. We went to the scrapbook store and then to Miejer and bought so much junk food and drinks it was unreal. I got quite a few pages done and tried my hand at paper piecing an Uno card and it turned out pretty cute. I'll try to scan some tomorrow.

Now....................I found another organizing blog and they had a challenge .http://www.biblicalwomanhoodonline.com/blog.htm You were to pick an area to clean and I needed to move this scrap stuff to my scrap room so this is what I chose to do. I was a day late but decided to do it anyway today! Here are the pics....

.Before.....

After! I got so motivated that

I took everything but the fake old time radio off the piano and cleaned it and also on the buffet. I feel pretty good about what I got accomplished today and hope I can feel like doing more tomorrow!!!!!
