Happy Birthday!!

I have become very attached to my co-workers. They are very good hearted, sweet, and caring people. Today is Julian's birthday, He is the warehouse manager, and i have created this card for him on this birthday. Honestly, I don't know why but i wasn't completely happy with my card, but i was excited to use my embossing tools for the first time! I got a 50% off coupon from Michaels, and i love it! I need more practice, but i think i did good. :) The Kich n Bleus design is from a new set of digi stamps that im currently working on for Birthdays... They will be ready in two weeks! Very exicted! :)

Lil Chris & Abby

Ever since i was little, I grew up along my cousin, Cachito (His nickname) We were born 7 days apart, and we were always a pair. Even though we had fights, arguments, tantrums.. (Well.... ME, he was very calm) We were always happy in the end. At the age of 4, We moved to Pomona, CA... Cachito, stayed in Mexicali, Mexico.. and even though we were far away... He and I remained really close.. even now :)

The reason why i share this story is because my boy, Lil Chris, and Lil Abby (My sister's girl (scrapbookaholicbyabby.com) Were born 4 days apart, and were always together. Every single day would be a play date (and fight) until the day my sis moved to North California. Sadly, they will not be going to the same class, the same school, nor grow up with the same friends... But even though they are far away... They will remain close, and they will grow up being best friends... like Cachito and me. :)

I Created this card using one my Kich n Bleus Designs. I also used the Snack Stack from DCW (Gosh, I should really know my paper stacks names!) I am a fan of Prima Colors, but i am wondering and thnking about using Copic Pens (Name please!!) to try them out.

Here is a picture of my lovelys!!
Abby (Abyta :)) Love you!!

Lil Chris... :B Love you!!

A Bitter Sweet Pet Story :'')

I am an animal lover... If i had a house, i would seriously get all the stray animals i could find... Even mouses... I love them all... 22 years ago... We moved into this house we are now... two weeks after that, one of my uncles gave me a puppy (Only weeks old) I remember thinking of her name a lot. I was four then... One night, maybe two weeks after that... I was sleeping with my mom and dad, and i remember clearly when the name came to me and my mom.... PINKY!

Pinky was my adoration; she was my partner, my love... We grew up together. I loved her puppies, and cried when we gave them away. I remember being grounded once because i faked being sick in school just to come home and play with her puppies... aww..
the beauty of childhood when you have a dog to share it with is priceless....

2004... Pinky was already 15 years old. I was about 21, 22... and in denial that Pinky didnt have much time to live. Denial for sure. One day, i woke up... It was raining hard... and all i could hear was a bark... something, wasnt right. I walked outside... and called for Pinky. No answer. At a distance, and in a puddle was Pinky.. her legs had given out, and she was in the middle of the mud and in the rain... so i picked her up.. and i sat her down near her dog house, and i started bawling. I cried that day for about two hours straight... just with her, because i knew that this was her time. I had my friend Ulises call the humane society to let me know what had happend. We took her in, and the girl told me that her organs were giving out. I asked her why, and she simply replies.. "Because she is old already"

I remember we came home, and my friend explained that it was better for her to put her down because she couldnt even walk anymore. The next day... we were heading to the humane socirty. I got her, she was really bloated and looked real bad. I went inside this office, and they walk me to a little room, and they ask me to put her in this little bed next to the door. She asks my friend to leave the room, and she said i could have a few minutes to say goodbye. Bawling, all i could say was "Love you pinky"

Minutes later, She walks in... My friend sits next to me, and she puts her to sleep... This was one of the most hurtful days of my life. I dont remember much that day, all i remember was coming inside my house... Pinky-less and my mom, just with one look... started crying.

Two weeks later, Ulises came with his moms new dog... her name was Sisy. Sisy was in many ways like Pinky, only in a smaller version. She was well educated, and trained. She was clean, and calm. She is almost a cat inside a dog's body. And well, I got attahed to her... a lot!

Two weeks after that, Ulises asked me to keep her, and i asked my mom. "NO" she said. I dont want any more animals. "Please!!" "NO" She would say. "Ok," I said. "Let me take care of her for two weeks so i can find an owner... " She said ok. A month passed and my mom called me one day because one uncle of mine wanted Sisy.. what did i do? "Im sorry.. I already found an owner" (i Lied) And that night i talked to my mom... i begged that Sisy was going to be good, and that she was going to be a great dog... Six years its been since she said ok, and she has. She is our little princess... Our new princess.

You would think the story is done right...?? No... In October 2010.. Halloween to be exact. I left trick or treating, my mom stayed to take care of the trick or treaters... My sons dad was outside the house... and the next morning... Sisy GONE. No where to be found. I was again, heatbroken.

I drove to the pound, maybe once every two weeks, I would literaetely drive street by street, crying because my Sisy dogg was gone. She is spoiled, so the streets werent going to be good enough for her... By the ending of December, I was starting to loose hope. I was begining to tell myself that someone found her, and that maybe... just maybe... she was ok.

Last Tuesday, One of my friends text me at work... "I THINK I SAW YOUR DOG AT THE POUND" I rushed to the pound. Praying all the way there... and when i entered the first shelter... She was behind another little dog... "Sisy!" I called. She didnt answer. "Sisy!!!" And when she walked up to me... I extended my hand towards her.. and when she smelled me, she started howling. LOUD.. People around me were looking at me and smiling... I had FOUND SISY!!! I excitedly go to the girl in the front lobby, and she tells me... "Do you know your dog had a chip?" I said no. She said "I cant release her until the chip's owner contacts us. Either that or you have to wait till Monday so you can legally adopt her under your name" REALLY??? Adopt my dog that I had since 2004??? (Only me) Anyways, i called the previous owner, and she said she would call th pound, and by Monday... January 10, 2011... I hope and pray that Sisy will be handed over officually. I CANT WAIT!!

I have created this dog layout in honor of Pinky and Sisy.. for making me happy throughout my childhood and throughout my adult years... They are my adoration, and my loves... I may sound CRazy.. but i am a dog lover, and mostly, a Pinky and Sisy Lover. I also created a card for Pinky.. because she brought Sisy back to me :)

Sisy is in the bottom and Pinky on the top

And here is my Kich And Bleus Designs card:

Chrismas Snowman card

Well, I'm getting the hang of using my Cricut, and as well as using the stamps, dew dots, etc... I think i need a scrapbook room! Usually when i scrap, i bring out all my supplies that are stashed away in my closet... then i get lazy to put them back... but i still do... Unless i want to hear my mom mad at me (no, no, no) But anyways, Scrapbooking is fun! I love participation on the Gaby Abby Challenges, but... of course, i cant win... but scrapbooking is a win win situation (If you ask me ;))

I went to Michaels the other day (Saturday...?) And i found several paper stacks on sale, as well as some Cricut cards on clearance for 19.99... and some for 39.99... They also had Christmas stamps from like 9.99 for about 3.99 or less...But, the place where they had them was all gone, so i got myself some paper... :) (more!) The K & Company Paper was on sale from 19.99 to about 9.99... there is another one... I think... (DWC???... Please correct me) it was also about 50% off... so i got this Christmas paper that is super cute! I created this Snowman card using my new paper, and the Joy of the Season Cart from Cricut...I colored him with Prisma Color Pencils (My Fav!)I used stamps for the bottom designs, th lettering, and the deer... ... tell me what you think... :)

Chrismas Card for Co-Worker...

One of my co-workers, Julian is a guy. Usually, when I think about making him a card, I try not to make so girly because, well... he's a guy! He still loves them though... I made him a Pumpkin card for Thanksgiving, and he loved it... Anyways... I try working with different kinds of Scrapbooking materials so that i learn how to Scrap like my sis... Scrapbookaholic by Abby, but i think i need more training! hehehe... Anyways, its fun to learn, and try new things.

Its so fun to scrapbook because my mom usually walks by and adds some ideas, which makes my scrapbooking more unique... The mistakes?? I know... I was going to finish putting the glitter on when Little Chris (My 2-year old trouble Maker) Ran off with my mom's Christmas decoration, and when i returned, i sat my hand down... and pressed the P, :S

I shall make a perfect one next week! hehehe
