Friday Fives!

Hello friends and welcome back to my blog!
I'm sad to announce that Dawn has "did away" with Casual Friday *sniff sniff* but no worries here because I'm still going to post 5 fabulous "things" every Friday right here on my blog just to kind of keep up with the goings on in my real life and in my digi life ;) I'm going to call these posts "Friday Fives"!!
And to start off here is my first post!
Friday Fives for February 25, 2011

1. This week not 1 but 2 of my layouts were featured around the digi community! First was my layout titled "Let Love Grow"

it was featured over on the Polka Dot Plum blog as one of the challenge highlights for the last week of February 2011!
The second layout I had featured was my "Michigan" layout which was featured over on the Scrapping With Liz blog for a Product highlight layout.

I'm Super Duper Excited about this!!
2. My new van got a big ol crack in it's windshield how sad :(
3. Last night's dinner was very Yummy!! Pizza and stuffed crazy bread from Little Cesars Pizza!Pizza! LOL
4. I picked up the latest editions of Scrapbooking & Byond and Paper Creations-YAY for more inspiration!!
5. T.G.I.F.!!! Overall it's been an equally good and bad week and I'm SO glad it's over!

Well that's it for Friday Fives! I'll see you next Friday for another 5's post if not before then to share some NEWS and INSPIRATION (layouts) with you!

Happy Scrapping and TTYL

TGIF and Casual Friday

YAY, it's Friday and I am SO excited!!!
A lot of stuff has been going on over here in my Real Life world!!
First of all I had my Birthday on the 6th and got to do a lot of shopping and received a lot of prezzies!!! Had a gorgeous birthday cake made by the local family owned bakery here in town and to top it all off it was Super Bowl Sunday too, so I got to spend some time with lots of family watching the big game as well, tons of junk food, family and fun!!
I got a new van...well new to me anyways...it was used but we finally bought a Pontiac Montana and I LOVE IT!!! Tons of room for the whole family and they love the dvd player so I get stuck listening to Megamind and Despicable me all the time,LOL.
Other than that it's a lot of sitting at home...net was shut off and I could only get online at the library or sitting in the McDonald's parking lot,LOL.

I'm trying to get back on track with all my regular blogging but today I want to start my weekly Friday post titled "Casual Friday" you can learn more about it by visiting the link in my side bar. Basically it's taking five "things" from the week and sharing them whether it be photos, ramblings, recipes, anything!! So without further ado here is my Casual Friday Post.
Casual Friday at Dawn by Design

1. Monday (2/14)- Valentine's Day, hubby and kids took me to dinner, I got a rose and a soft teddy bear to cuddle with while hubby's at work at night.
2. Tuesday (2/15)- Kids 3rd day of school at their new school. They are loving it! I am loving that they love it!!
3. Wednesday (2/16)- Shaun and My 7th wedding anniversary was jam packed with family and "friends" (all I'm saying here) basically it was a bittersweet day for us, but hopefully things will calm down and get better.
4. Thursday (2/17)- Got new cell phone and wireless broadband so I can take laptop everywhere to do all my work. I even got caught up on some ct req's.
5. Friday (2/18)- Spending the day with my sister and our youngest sons and later this evening dinner and a movie with dh for our anniversary celebration.

That's it, I should be back very soon with some new layouts and the goings on in the digi community.

Talk to you later and Happy Scrapping!
