108-pound woman thwarts would-be purse snatcher

Okay, so I must admit I am not much of a newspaper reader but when my hubby showed me this article it made me laugh:

A suspected would-be thief was arrested Monday after a woman whose purse he tried to steal chased him and held him down, Police said.

Taylor Kahus-Saccio, 22, was arrested on suspicion of two counts of theft at about 1:40 p.m. Monday at the Fry's Food store.

Police said Kahus-Saccio took a woman's purse from her shopping cart and ran off with it.

The woman then chased Kahus-Saccio and continued to do so after he dropped the purse on the ground, police said.

The 27-year-old woman, who was not identified but was described as 5-foot-1 and weighing 108 pounds, caught up to Kahus-Saccio, grabbed his back and held onto him until store management arrived to help.

Kahus-Saccio was arrested and sent to jail.

He had no prior criminal record, police said.

Doesn't this guy know, you never mess with a woman and her purse!  NEVER!!!

Labor day fun!

Yesterday was so nice not to have a schedule and just relax, I was able to finish a card and this fun layout.

I found the pictures in my pile and decided I should probably do something with them. I had the perfect Sassafrass papers and had fun layering up. This is DS about 5 years ago, so cute!

Christmas in August!

Okay, so my kiddos helped out with these cards. We will probably distress, and put sequins on later down the road, but they were so happy with what we got done I had to share. This is the second year we have done this, and truthfully it is a stress reliever. I cut my shapes out from the cricut and do an assembly line and let them have at it! Anyway, here ya go:

all the paper is Imaginisce, buttons are dress it up (I have had for a while, I was glad to use them up!) stamp is Provo Craft, and stickles.

Happy Halloween!

Oh, yes I LOVE Halloween! Not the scare your brains out, but the excitement of dressing up and candy and decorations. And yes....the cute scrap booking stuff! I made some cards using the new Imaginsce line:

Turkey and my cricut

I was playing around with my cricut the other day and figured out the measurements for this little guy:

I made this just using the George cartridge. The plaque I bought at dollar tree last year, but you could use chipboard and cut it into any shape you wanted, and crop-a-dile some holes for your ribbon.

For the measurements: For the body I cut the regular oval at 5 1/2" on real dial size for the head I cut the circle at 1 1/2" real dial size, for the beak I cut the diamond set at 1" on paper saver (I cut the diamond in half), the Gobble part is actually the parenthesis (just one side) cut at 2 1/2" on paper saver, the feathers are cut with the skinny oval, the back feathers are set at 3 1/2", and the front feathers are 3" both on paper saver.

I inked all the edges, and for the feathers I folded them in half to give dimension. I sewed around the body to give him some dimension and hold the feathers down. I loved this because I don't have to many decorations for Thanksgiving, and now I have one more!  I made this for the contest over at BBTB.

Big toot for me! Woohoo!

So I was in my LSS yesterday and I happened to glance at the magazines and I see this:I said to myself: "self, is this it?" (sort of still in denial) Yep! I flipped to page 69 and there I am! Sort of a surreal experience....I am still waiting for mine in the mail. I did call around to Joann's and Michaels to see if they had it yet, nope! Just wanted to share my exciting news!

Monsoons are here, I love the storms....My creative blogging buddy Rebecca Tresler took these pictures last night, and I had to borrow. The drops of rain for a time were like golf ball size....totally crazy!
I know I haven't posted anything creative lately but I am planning on it later today. I do have a line up of things that I have done and wanted to share!

What kind of Cullen are you?

Saw this quiz on my friends blog (look at my side bar). Sort of silly but fun! Take it and see which Cullen heroine you are!
