Not Today

This WordArt request is from Sivan. OK, really, how many of us feel like this at least ONCE A WEEK! Ha! Is it only ME? Hehehe, unfortunately, as a mom to 5 kids, this isn't an option most of the time :) Good ole Dr. Seuss always have a nice quote for us!!!

What a busy Saturday we had! We were gone from noon to nine! So much for my day of designing. But, I did manage to design from 10-midnight! We had a fun day as a family, shopping, putting winter clothes in the storage shed, helping a friend clean out his horse stable, and driving around. Nothing too important, except some good old quality family time!

This WordArt request is from Angela - What a great saying! I like it :) I'm really glad that I have the extend family that I have, even if they're all a bit weird. Ha! LOL! If you really knew me, you laugh! I'm the weirdest of the bunch :)

Be Little

Wow, is it already the 21st of JUNE! (Isn't this the first official day of summer?) How did that happen! Time is sure flying by fast at the Harty House :) The kids are having fun just hanging out and having fun. They do chores (yeah, that's not their favorite part), play on the computer, swim in the pool, play in the backyard, card games with mom, coloring and drawing, letters to pen pals, movies - what could be better! Don't ya just love summer!!!

This WordArt request is from Maria - Isn't it cute! I do like my kids at the ages they are right now, and try not to wish too hard that they were older (and less messy). I"m sure i'll look back with fond memories on this time in my life :) The messy, but cute and cuddly, stage!

Click HERE to go to Benevolent Boutique to download the alpha.

I took this AWESOME alpha, and made a neat WordArt for you all. It's SO COOL! If your kids are anything like mine, they LOVE the pool and the water! They spend SO much time in the water, I'm surprised they haven't sprouted gills! Ha! Here's a really cool WordArt to go with all of your pool pictures (or fishing would work too!).

So, just click on the image below to go to my 4shared account and get the PNG file, and leave some love if you like my work! Thanks you guys! (It seems in my haste to post this and lay back down because of my massive migraine, I forgot to link it up - sorry girls! It's all linked up now!!!)

This is a pic of my niece, Ella - Isn't she adorable! I think she may be getting ready to flop in the pool. My youngest son, Jimmy, did this too! Must run in the family!


This layout was sent in by Kim - Isn't it sweet! She did a great job :) I LOVE that face that your little girl is making - so adorable!!!! Kids are so much fun :)

Happy Family

OK, this isn't a request - I TOTALLY ran out of time yesterday to make a freebie (but I did get a lot of designing done!), so I had to give you all this - I was saving it for a WordArt pack, but you get it instead! WooHoo for you!

I'm taking all 5 kids to the doctor today for check-ups, immunizations, camp physicals, regular physicals, a wart to be checked out, and an undescended testicle (yes, I'm sure you're SO glad that I shared). Hopefully they're on their BEST behavior, and it goes QUICKLY! I may have to resort to "If you do good, we'll go to the dollar store, and you can pick something FABULOUS out!" That might just work with this lot!

And yeah, this is ORCHARD-WIDE, so feel free to browse the other stores (after mine, of course - LOL!!)

WordArt Wednesday Week 2

Yah! It's WordArt Wednesday again at the Orchard! Here's the COOL WordArt you'll be getting this week - a request from Judy. I'm so glad that I have a sister! She's the best :) She's 10 years younger than me (so we weren't too close growing up - I mean, come on, when your 15, the last thing you want in your room is a 5 year old), and just starting her family, while I'm just getting done. I do wish that we lived closer together so we could hang out! She's in Utah, and I'm in Ohio, so gmail chat is as close as we get. Miss ya, Madi!!!!

So, head on over to the Orchard to get these fun new WordArts (yeah, I had to put more than one in there - can you tell i'm a people pleaser? always trying to make it fit for everyone!). Just be sure that you're LOGGED INTO THE ORCHARD to be able to download the freebie - One more thing, if for some reason, it takes you to the main page (with the apple tree), just click on WEBLOG to see their post about the WordArt- Thanks everyone :)

Remember You

The kids and I get to go to a bowling party today at noon for our homeschool group. We're all non-bowlers, but have a LOT of fun doing it. I'll try and get a few pics (for you, MOM!)

This WordArt request is for Laura. What a nice scripture! I thought that it would be GREAT for all of those "friends" layouts. Well, it would work for even more than friends, wouldn't it.

Family Friends

Hope everyone had a WONDEFUL Father's Day yesterday! We had a little Father's Day party on Saturday night, since we usually don't see my husband much on Sunday's. He was out the door at 7:30am (no breakfast in bed :(), and didn't get home until about 3. He took a nap (that's always my favorite part of Mothers day!), then had to turn around and got out Home Teaching. The 2 oldest boys, and Captain America, and I did get a chance to play some games tonight, though. That was a lot of fun. We played "Magic, the Gathering", a card game. We'd just recently bought some new decks at Wal-Mart, and wanted to try them out and teach the boys how to play also. I won, and that always makes the game seem more fun! lol!

This WordArt request is for Dania, who's working on her parent's 50th anniversary scrapbook. She thought that this quote would be perfect for a photo of family and friends. I bet it would! Love this saying :) Thanks for the request!

Thin Feels

This WordArt request is from urgrlfrdy. She's doing Weight Watchers, and says that it's her favorite new thing they say there. I've heard it a few times, and also think it's great. I have to keep this in mind when I'm watching my kids eat things like Wendy's Frosty's, and fried chicken, and quesidellas (yeah, it's definitely not spelled right!) with ranch. While my food is tasty and satisfying, sometimes my brain likes to feel sorry for itself. I just need to repeat this saying more :) But, something is working, cause I'm 14 lbs down. Yeah for me :)

FONTS :
sorry, too tired, maybe tomorrow :)

Customized WordArt

I've gotten quite a few requests in the past little bit for Customized WordArt. You know, those quotes that wouldn't be good all the blog readers. Or that had specific names in the Quote. Well, rather than just turn you away (because I so HATE to do that), I decided to give you another choice! This new "WordArt" is in my Scraporchard store. All you need to do is purchase this "WordArt" (really, it's just a Word Document that gives you further instructions on how to get me the quote) to get started. Within a day or so, you'll have your own, personalized, customized WordArt that you can't get anywhere else! (I'm so smart - lol!)

Click here to go to my Scraporchard store and get started! Aren't you so excited! COST: $2.50 each

Tee Ball

Just had to say, Happy Anniversary to Me and My Hubby, 12 years today!!!! Woohoo!

We went to Cub Scout camp yesterday for a few hours, and it was just enough to make me sick from the heat. Well, not totally sick. But i started to feel yucky on the way home, and I didn't really recover from it. I'm definitely taking the day easy today, in my nice cold AC.

OH YEAH! I forgot to tell you all that it's FINALLY FIXED! Cold air once again :) We had to call different repair men, since the one from last time messed it up. When the new guy went into the attic, he found that the...um...unit? was not level, so the run off water wasn't going through the pipe. And , the drain pan wasn't level, so it was overflowing, right onto my bed. Nice. But, the new guy fixed it all, and we've had cold air since Thursday. THANK YOU REPAIR MAN! You're my hero!!!!

This WordArt request is from Darci - She wanted something to do with Tee Ball. Hope you like it, girl! My kids aren't in Tee Ball. We put my oldest in Tee-Ball when he was in Kindergarten, and it wasn't a good time. He just sat in the outfield and picked dandelions the whole time. Shame, too, because he has a naturally big body that would be PERFECT for sports, but doesn't seem interested. Oh well. What do ya do?

Sibling Relationships

We get to go out to Scout Camp for the morning today! Should be fun. Since my hubby is the District Director, he can show up at events and bring us with, and we can just walk around and have fun without having to be there all day long. Sometimes that's just the right amount for my gang! Ha! We're a little camped out right now. Our pack is there for Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, but Friday morning works perfect for me!

Oh yeah, it's Friday the 13th! Almost forgot. So, are any of you superstitious? Isn't it supposed to be a bad day? (I only knock on wood, no other superstitions - although hubby WON'T cross a black cat - lol!)

This WordArt is for Katie, who wanted something for siblings, but something more formal. Hope you like it, girl! When you're not specific, you get whatever my crazy brain comes up with! Ha! I like it :) Maybe you will too :)

Girls WordArt Mini Pack

Hi! I'm so excited about my new WordArt mini pack! It's all for girls (see, I didn't forget!). It's on sale at Scraporchard officially on Friday, but you can grab it EARLY in my "secret" orchard store by clicking here or at Designing-Moments here.

Riding

We filled up our pool (just a wal-mart one, nothing too fancy) on Sunday (yeah, keeping the kids out of that was fun!), and got to go and play in it yesterday. The kids played from 9am till 2pm. I had to go to Wal-mart, so I made 'em get out :) We hung out in the nice air conditioned room (our one window unit is upstairs in the kids room) for the afternoon, and read books. Then, after dinner, the pool was "open" again, and they played till 7pm. We all went back into the "cool" room and watched a family movie together, until the kids all drifted off to sleep, one by one. All in all, it was a very relaxing day :) I even got time to design a new WordArt mini pack (it's not ready for the store yet) and rework my Mom and my Aunts blog headers. Awesome day!

This WordArt request is for Laura, who's husband just bought his dream motorcycle (a Harley

Mother Who Read To Me

So today was H-O-T! I'm not loving life right now, girls. We even went to church 45 minutes early, just so we could sit in the nice AC, and stayed an hour past, chatting. Yeah, it's that hot. I'm miserable! And it's affecting the quality of my WordArt, and we don't want that! All I have to say is, those repairmen had better be here on Wed/Thurs, and they'd better fix it fast, or....or....well, it's just not gonna be good! Miss passive aggressive here will DEFINITELY have words with them in my head! So they'd better watch out!

Wednesday WordArt at ScrapOrchard

Hey all, just wanted to let you know that I'm going to be offering a weekly freebie over at the orchard, on Wednesdays. So, on those days, you'll need to go there to get it. I'll post a pic of it here with a link. We'll be doing a challenge with it there, so it should be a lot of fun! Thanks :)

We had a ton of fun at our campout this weekend. I know, I know, we camp A LOT! Hehehe. This time is was through Scouts - a baseball game and campout on the field. My kids had a BLAST! My oldest told me that it was the most fun he'd had ALL MONTH! heheheh, you know, that's a LONG time for a little kid - lol! The kids all found a new friend to hang out with after the game (11pm), and had fun running amok all round the field. They watched movies, and the ball field lights didn't go out till 1am! Talk about fun times for kids! We were up at the crack of dawn (literally), and everyone was out of the ball field by 7:30 am. I did get a nice nap this afternoon though! Gotta love naps :) Of course the kids trashed the house while I slept, but it sure felt GOOD!

Now mind you, this wasn't a lake or pond we went to - it was the park! We've had such bad rain the last few days, that the low areas are all filled up! It was stinky and nasty, but Jimmy was in HEAVEN!!!

Awe, aren't my kids sweet! (note to self - don't take 5 kids to a baseball game if your hubby is running the event - you'll have to corral them all by yourself :) lol

Ah Ha! He came to see us! He got to sit with us from the 5th inning on! Look how hot and sweaty we all are! Crazy heat!

Here I am! I'm liking my new big sunglasses :)

Joe is crazy! I told him to have a big smile, cause the last one was a little weak. Well, I guess this one is "stronger"!!!
