One More Down

One more school layout DONE!!! Only Valentine's and Graduation then Savannah's school album is up to date. Next will be Austin's. I try to have their school album's done before school's out...not so this year. That's why I am hurrying now. I always have them write at least their name and grade on a page to document their handwriting. They love that and it makes the pages their own.

I'm not sure you can see the detail on the circles. I added lots of brads and sequins. It really added detail.

I'm Doing It!!!

It is 1:30 Monday afternoon. I'm still in my pj's and so is my daughter. We have been scrapbooking and here are the results. I am trying to make it a point to have at least one lazy day at home a week so I can get last years school pages completed. We'll see how long this last. I can scrapbook and the kids can watch TV. It's a win-win. This is suppose to be therapy but I'm getting a little anxious because I'm not ready. What if someone calls to do something fun...I won't be ready in time...OK, I'm thinking about relaxing thoughts...you get it...it's not in my nature. Well times a wasting so back to scrappin' I go.

Today's the Day!!!

Well this is the last day of school. I can't wait to NOT have a schedule. I used to hate the summers because I have always been such a structured person. But now I look forward to the days at the beach with my feet in the sand. It's such a relaxing experience. (Expect for the fact my 7 year old is out too far jumping waves and my 5 year old is scared now she'll get eaten by a shark...so much for the National Geographic channel.) I can't wait to NOT get ready, go down to my "pit" and work on my pages. I'll have to post the results now that I am a blogger.

p.s. Does this count towards journaling??? You know, anything to multi task.

July Heritage Class

Here is my July class at Scrappin Good Times on July 19th starting at 6:00 pm. These are beautiful papers from We R Memory Keepers. I love their lines and especially the new Precious Metal Hardward. By the way, I just saw a new shipment of the hardware come in the store. Hurry if you're interested, it goes quick. There is still room in the class so next time you are in the store be sure to sign up for the class or kit.

My August class is out of Paper Loft, another one of my favorites. (oh, who am I kidding, they are all my favorites.) and I am working on September's class out of Foof-a-la. It's also looking really good.

If you love these papers but don't have "old" pictures, change current favorites to black/white or sephia and it will look FABULOUS.

Well this is it!

I've taken the plunge into the blogging world. Techology is supposed to save me time but new things keep popping up that are going to keep me better informed and communicate more efficiently....we'll see. For now I am just glad I know more about this computer and blogging than my kids...but that too will come to an end soon and I will have to ask my 7 year old how does it work again.
