Family Fun!

I made a layout yesterday...Smile features my cousin's precious daughter, Anna. I created the LO for the MLAS Template Challenge. Kate made a fantastic template...I just love it!

All but one member of my Dad's family went to a family gathering Saturday evening at Donna Pat's house. She cooked two awesome soups for all of us to share. We so enjoy getting together and keeping up with everyone's lives. I took bunches of pictures...including the one of Anna that I used in the LO!

A Few More LOs and a Funny Cat!

I completed a few more challenge LOs at MLAS. By the way, tomorrow is the last day to get the freebies from the MLAS Birthday Blog Train! I just downloaded the train and it's full of wonderful surprises!

Mom, Dad, and Anna features my cousin, his wife, and youngest daughter...I created it for the Gourmet Challenge using elements from several MLAS designers. Jack features my niece's soft and fluffy cat...it was created for the ScrapMix Challenge and also uses elements from several MLAS designers. Mako features her big girl doggie...it was done for the Friday night Speed Scrap and uses mostly elements from Abby by our newest designer, Chickensocks Scraps.

Don't forget about all the wonderful challenges at MLAS...not only our normal challenges but, also the special Birthday Bash Challenges, too!

I have to share about my Molly...I just went into the kitchen for a late night snack (she thinks that anytime I go into the kitchen...it's cat snack time!) and she followed me. I told her not now...you just had a snack earlier...this one is for me! I came back to the computer and heard noises coming from the kitchen (she and I are the only ones awake)...when I went into the kitchen...she had gotten onto the counter and opened the cabinet with the treats and was trying to make the bag fall out of the cabinet! I had to run for my camera...you will see a LO soon! Well, as you can guess...she did get her treats and she's now snoozing in her box by me!

MLAS Font Challenge LO

I made a LO last night using Sonny by brittbree. It's a great kit that she made in her Grandfather's memory. Holly and Mike features my cousin and her boyfriend. I used the Sugar Frog font...SF No Frills.

I made 2 other LOs Monday night, Who Dat? features our Super Bowl Game fun and uses MLAS Designers and Princess, features my friend's precious furbaby, was created using Dream Big Designs' L'Amour Kit (MLAS Font Challenge).

Super Bowl Champs...Saints!

It's like a fairy tale...I still can't believe it really happened...the New Orleans Saints won Super Bowl 44. It was an awesome game. We ended up watching with some friends and eating Earline's wonderful crawfish ettouffe at halftime. The area went wild at the end of the game...fireworks, people screaming outside...everyone was just so excited! Louisiana needed the win! I think that the moral of our citizens will be greatly improved! :)

I took pictures today of family, friends, animals...will try to scrap on Monday! I've got some cute pics of my niece and her boyfriend. I even have a picture of Charly's big screen TV when we were watching the game! LOL!

Who dat say they gonna beat those Saints? No dat!

Super Bowl Sunday

Yea! The day has finally arrived...and the New Orleans Saints will be playing in the Super Bowl this afternoon! I am getting excited...we have been invited to our niece's house to watch the game on her big screen TV! Geaux Saints!

Thursday was a lazy day...John didn't have to work. Late in the afternoon, we went to Books-a-Million for John to order a book and for us to visit the Joe Muggs Coffeeshop! I love their Chai Tea Latte!

I just finished making a huge Taco Soup...hopefully, we won't eat it all and I will be able to put a couple servings in the freezer! It's great to have a bowl of homemade soup when I don't feel like cooking for myself!

Layouts and More!

Yipee! I finally got my computer back last night! I celebrated today by making 4 LOs. Wasting Time featuring my feline nephew was created for the MLAS Scrap Mix Challenge using Bubblescrap Designs newest kit, Cappuccino. Typical Day was created for the MLAS My Life IN Scrap Challenge Week 3 (I am trying to get caught up!) and was created using Moonlight by Samceline. Family, created for the MLAS Project 52 Photos Week 3, uses Tulipping by Rebecca_psp. My Feb. 2010 Desktop (MLAS Desktop Challenge) was created using Love is Funky by Rebecca_psp.

We celebrated my sister-in-law's 49th birthday Tuesday night. The birthday girl (Elizabeth), my other sister-in-law (Patricia), and Elizabeth's son (Nicholas) went to Deano's Pizza for supper. John was so happy that he received the left over pizza for his breakfast!

I did a little grocery shopping after my blood work on Tuesday. I was very excited to find two packages of ground meat on sale. (Albertson's puts the freshly ground meat from the Butcher Block on special when it closes at night. You can get great quality ground meat for $1.49 a pound.) I put 2 packages of 1 pound each in the freezer and made hamburger steaks for our lunch yesterday. It was so yummy!

Groundhog Day!

Will he see his shadow or not? It's a cold night in south Louisiana...I am glad that we have had a cold winter. It's nice to be able to bundle up...I hope that we have a few more cold nights in Feb.
