BLOGOVERSARY BONUS + Scrap Weekend

This Post is OBVIOUSLY a little late in coming....MY BAD!!! I was MORE concerned with going away to SCRAPBOOK this weekend than I was about giving my Blogoversary give away!!!

I can only hope that the lucky winner KELLY @ Our Family Ramblings will forgive me...because after all I am sending her an awesome YOGA bag + DVD !!! If you have not checked out Kelly's Blog...please head over! She is an awesome Christian, Mom and bloggy friend!!! Congrats!


Now, to post a little collage of the pages that I completed this week. Yes, I love scrap booking and more importantly..getting away with the girls...it was a weekend of say "Squeaks" and Binging on food from every spectrum!!! Great time ladies...hope to do it again soon!

Finally...and I do mean Finally....today is my Birthday...Not disclosing age here, I am just saying that for every birthday that I have I like to reflect on what a great life I have...
so cheers to the LORD, all 3 of my boys, my great parents and brother and my family and friends for always keeping me moving.

I♥Faces...No Flash

Another week...and another adorable contest from I♥Faces! If you have not checked out the site, please do yourself a favor and check it out!

This weeks theme is "No Flash"!

I took this picture this morning in my kitchen while QB2 was sniffing a couple of flowers that my in laws brought to me as a present...so, they were so cute and so was QB2 so I could not resist.

I had the camera set on Aperture Priority and No flash fired.
I edited the photo after the fact using cross process and black and white coloring.

This is a great contest, not too easy to win because there are so many other great entries. Good luck to all who enter this week!

Spring Break Catch Up....+ BLOGOVERSARY BONUS!!!

Ah yes, the dreaded or beloved Spring break is finally over....if you have been wondering where I have been in the blogging sense than you will understand when I say that SPRING fever hit the whole Eyeglasses & Endzones team as we headed up North to the beautiful cabin (well, on its way to beautiful...check out Here if you are curious)!

This weeks has consisted of a lot of FIRST for our little brood:

1. The 1st time skiing for both QB1 & QB2...they did GREAT!!!

They just had a blast.....and we also had another First...that would be the Head Coach...sort of getting stuck in the Magic Carpet lift with his pole and flipping over the side...of course, this picture was taken BEFORE that occurred...Sorry babe, I had to share!!! Inquiring bloggers want to know...right?

Another First this week was QB1 playing in between periods for the Gopher / UMD Bulldogs WCHA Game! Of course, it was his whole Blaine Hockey team but I am just highlighting my Quarterback!! It was the fastest 4 minutes of his life, but it was in front of 19,000 fans!!!

Yet another is a FIRST for QB2 was his 1st soccer practice that will have an end result of GAMES! He has been to small to actually have games! So, here is a practice photo!

Then we went to the cabin for a couple of days of renovating....=) And I came back to me thinking that I need to do my BLOGOVERSARY Giveaway!!!! Yeah, for you for sticking through this really really long post!!! So....(DRUM ROLL), Here is what I am giving away for the 1yr tribute to my lovely followers:

This bag is great! It fits a standard yoga mat so that you don't have to do the annoying "TUCK" under the arm action...I am also sending a Body Fusion DVD for your workouts at home...it is a simple workout but you will love it!

So, if you are a follower and leave a comment, just mention that you are a follower and you will get 2 entries into this little prize. If you are a NEW follower and leave a comment, you will also get 2 entries and lastly...if you decide to post about my giveaway please let me know that and you will be entered a total of 3 times!!!

Messy Car...

So, today I have been running around like a banchee trying to get ready for Spring Break next week up at the cabin (we are renovating and it is chaos)!

I was getting out of the car this afternoon, and I just so happened on this lovely view of my front seat....

I just want to say, I am typically a neat person!!! My house is always picked up and everything in its place. But sometimes my car looks like a homeless person is living inside and I must admit, some days there might be someone in the back of the car and I would never even know.

If anyone has the number for a good car detailing place...please let me know!!!!

Honestly...what does your car look like?

Happy Blogoversary To Me.....

Yeah oh Yeah...its my BLOGOVERSARY TODAY!!!

I'm pretty sure that you are hoping for a lovely prize give away like most of the other bloggers...however, this is not MOST blogs...
let me propose a question that all of you can comment to..

Why is that when it is your BLOGOVERSARY that YOU are required to give something away? Shouldn't it be the other way around???? Like all my bloggy friends should be sending me presents???? Now, I know this may sound selfish but honestly..doesn't that just make more sense?

Stop kidding yourself...you know you already bought me something lovely =)

You can send it to....HA! I fooled you!

While I am still thinking of something really great that I can raffle off, I am paying a homage to all things BLOGGY....Yes, that is right we are starting our own BLOGTIONARY..right here!!! You are witnessing BLOGSTERY in the making!!! I will start out slow and get more creative as I go...

It seems to me that we all have a little blogdiction going here....I hope I don't cause blogdemonium when creating this post! I've really had a blogdiction the past year, one that might be cause for a blogcation. If you are a follower of mine, you might being showing blogertism (and for that I am grateful)!

Have you applied blogssure to any friends or family to get them started? Then you are a blogdeeva!!

I hope your not getting blogdom because I might have a touch of Blogblock. Its time for me to go Bloggercize and have my own Blogabration for my Blogoversary.

Now, my only request for presents...send this little ol' blog who is one year old..to your blogosphere friends and create a little blogbuzz...it might just send me into BLOGFAMOUS levels!!!

Stay tuned for prizes....and please leave a comment with your own bloggy terms...maybe I missed something?

I Heart Faces...Creative Cropping..

Before Photograph

So here we are again for another installment of I Heart Faces.
This weeks post is Creative Cropping...and I am entering in the adult category this time.
Last week I was fortunate enough to make the top 10 in the beginner category, so I thought since all of us usually use our children as subjects, I would spice mine up a bit this week.

Some of you might have seen my finished photograph on a couple of posts past but I am using it again because I love that it was a simple crop but still makes a great statement when placed in a collage format.

After Photograph

So, Good luck to everyone this week.
And congrats to all who made the beginning top 10 last week!

Messy Faces...Beginner...

Here is another week of the I ♥ Faces contest...this weeks theme, Messy Faces! Something new that has been added to I ♥ Faces is the beginners section. I am really excited about this because I am an amateur / novice and I would love to have some critiquing that comes along with my photos to make me better!! So get out there and join in! It is SO fun!!

This photo was taken at the Minnesota State Fair this year...just deciding to chill out with a bucket of chocolate chip cookies...What could be messy about that!!!

Good luck this week to all who enter...I love looking at all these great pics!
