one night we, the pink ninja addicts got together at mi casa and scrapped,, {well, we were missing one, so it wasnt a complete team,, but you know what i mean},,, we were working on the *carousel* kit,,, and carrie created this beauty,,, i tried and i tried to not think of how amazing that layout was when i continued to play with my own kit, and finally gave up on trying to push this amazing layout outta my head,,, i didnt wanna copy cat,,, even though carrie is rad, understands that inspiration comes from here and there and i know she would never accuse me of snaking idea or so, but still,,, im a big fan of giving credit where credit is due,,, and not to proud to do so either,,, ;-) so carrie, again, thank you for always inspiring me like crazy,,, i love everything you do, it all turns into magic,, so thank you,,, and with that, i guess the only part i copied was the darker page in the back ground and the same plaid paper,,, but again, giving credit where its due,,, its all her,,,

here is *love her*,,, my sweeet ballerina on her first day of dance, staring at the studio,,, taking it all in,,,

in other news,,, i jumped on the spring board bang wagon,,, love it,,, there is also a quickie link in the left side of my blog,,, and because ive been sorta good about updating my twitter,,, i thought i deserved another silly fun site that i get to answers questions and have fun,,, i am the girl, after all, that does those fun emails *what color shoes were you wearing three nights ago*,,, i like answering questions,,, so,, give it to me,,,

love, ally

i sent teresa collins an email with a few pictures from this class and she loved it!!! she wants me to try to get it published,,, what do you think?!?! im kinda shy about that ~ *i would totally need encouragement*,,, she also mentioned that she was going to put up pictures and class information up on her blog, but im sure she has a million and a half other things going on, maybe she forgot,,,,, oh well, it made my day that she loved it!!!!
~peace~
oh ~ p.s., this little baby is turning out to be everything i wanted it to be,,,, ill probably be done with it later tonight, but i have to take a quick picture and post it,,, i love this feeling,,,,,, this is *firefly chasers* class at ever after 15 august 4:00

heeeyyy,,,, i hope everyone had a fun weekend!! i did, thanks for asking!! so ~ as of around 3:00 today, ever after now has my *be happy* class sample up and ready for your eyeballs. im so excited about this too ~ ever after has some kits for sell!!! they come with every ~ EVERYthing that you need (well, not staples, but everything else!!). i have full 4X6 color photos included in the kits and i also offer my email if you should have any questions. im hoping to add to my busy life and continue to work with camille and sell kits there ~ or anywhere for that matter!! ;) let me know if youre also interested,,,,, the first kit we are putting up for sell is the 1000 words mini i have taught. the class went really well, so we thought that we would offer some kits to sell. keep in mind that all of the paper that comes in these kits is double sided, so you can totally buy two kits using each side of the album to expand your lil' guy. just a thought,,,,this is so funny!!! like my shoes?!?! alright so before you think i am a total freak ~ NO ~ i did not teach wearing these shoes, but if you took my class this past sunday at its about time, you totally get it,,, right ladies?!?! yep and thats about all im going to comment about this photo, i just still think this story is funny and i just could not resist!!!

so, yesterday i was outside (short story) with my kids we were playing with their bubble guns ~ which by the way are the greatest thing in history ~ but anyway, we saw a lizard on the stucco of our house. really no big deal because there are always lizards, but this one was so nice!! i picked it right up and it just hung out on my hand for quite some time!!! i pet its head and it was even closing its eyes like it wanted to go night, night,,, well, it might be because im kinda like snow white ~ you know all the animals love me!!!! hahaha,,,,,, anyway, when the lizard was all done with me, it jumped down onto the chair and when i picked it up again, it jumped and landed on sofias shoulder!!!! i still dont know if she knew it was there because i swear she would have lost it ~ but you never know with that chick, she always throws me for a loop!!!

so there it is ~ even complete with a lil' pieces of me action!!! i will be posting some pictures of my classes coming up saturday, but for now you can also check out this link and visit the right side of my blog, i have class photos there also, too, as well ;) ;)

i was going to put this bow in my hair, but thought that i would just save it for later on when my hair was crying out to be put back, so i clipped it onto my belt loop and thought it was kinda fun.... and these down below are my new shoes!!! i want to dress more girly now that its spring time, spring *always* inspires me to be more girly,,,, kinda brave of me, i dont usually "flaunt" my tattoos, but there you go ~ it is almost 10 years old after all ~ i guess its time......
okay, i kinda liked that little session of pieces of me,,,, hey blogs are all about whatever you want them to be about ~ right??? oh yeah ~ the top photo ~ i snapped a piece of me photo before i started teaching today....... makes me happy!!!
