Finally! Some scrappin!

WOW! Cannot believe it has been almost 2 months since my last blog post! Crazy...well my life has been crazy! We have been moving and trying to get settled and I've had jewelry shows and rally.  Not much time at home to get really settled in.  With that said, I worked all day today on our house so I rewarded myself tonight by scrapbooking some.  Two things have come to my attention: 1).  I do not really enjoy scrapping late at night.  2).  It is a challenge for me to scrap boys!  I have been scrapping for about 4 years now and it's been ALL girl.....what a change! I'm still not completely happy with jackson's layout but it's cute! :D

Catching up and moving

Wow didn't realize it's been almost a month since I posted a blog! Until my mom sent me a text this morning reminding me! Hahaha....sorry folks.  It's been crazy busy around here.  The kiddos and I packed up and spent last week with my grandparents.  We had so much fun...life is just simplier and quieter there....don't know why that is.  They just are hard working people and there's no time for junk....like tv, internet, shopping unless you actually NEED something.  It was great.  I did take my computer and answered a few emails but mostly I just enjoyed spending time with them as my grandpa is 80 and my grandma is 76 I think.  I should do that more often and they enjoyed the kiddos for sure. 

Last night we finished up savannah's tball.  She had her last game, no umpire and everyone batted every time.  The rules seemed to change every single game, glad we won't be part of that club next year.  She did really good though.  Afterwards we attended her team party where pizza was given to the kiddos, a cupcake and trophies!  Then we went back to the field for closing ceremonies where each childs name was announced and they were handed medals.  She was so excited over her awards! Lots of scrapping moments captured for sure!

We are also in the process of trying to move! Ugh! I HATE moving!  I tried doing some packing yesterday and that is more on my list today for sure.  The hubs is off today and tomorrow and he is up there and said he is going to try to finish up the painting today and hopefully they'll get the floors in...they had to rip out the carpet and replace with hardwood floors.  Anyway....enjoying some alone time....listening to cmt, one kid napping and the other is outside with grandpa! :)

Busy Times

Hey all! I don't have any pictures to share today.  It's been a crazy couple of days for sure! I have an album order I have got to get busy on! I have my own scrapping projects I want to work on, two small kiddos to take care of who seem to think they need to be fed on a regular basis! And my normal wifely duties. I intend to find some crafting time for sure today though! i hear lil man crying now...so I just wanted to share really quickly I have become a blog follower of samantha over at scrapmast paradise.  She is wonderful with her creating abilities! I LOVE her projects...she is a stampin up demonstrator...I'll add that link later!  Anyway she is having a design team call at scrapmaster paradise so check it out! :) I am way EXCITED to get to know her better and the others who are joining the forum! Have a great day and I gotta get my lil man before he thinks I ran away...which by the way is tempting! (hahah..just kidding.)

Mother's Day Bliss

Wow what a whirlwind few days! It has been crazy busy around here! I can finally post my mothers day projects since all the moms have their gifts! :)

Now for my mother's day gift!

Week in the Life 2010: Final Project

After finally getting my pictures yesterday I got to finish up my pages, pictures and embellishments today.  I did not do the same layout/book as the FABULOUS ali edwards but I took the idea and made it my own this time around.  Mainly b/c I have not had a lot of time to scrap lately so this was a great catapult to get me on board!  It got me thinking creatively and got me to use one of my monthly kits that I hadn't even opened yet! Ha! All I have to do now is put it in an album which I am fresh out of so that's next on my list hopefully tomorrow! Here are the pictures and I hope you all enjoy a glimpse into my life!

This is my first page which is not a particular day...just my family and about the project itself.

Monday

Tuesday

Wednesday

Thursday was the BEST!

Friday

Saturday was all about lounging!

Sunday! :)

A day to blog

• Hi everyone! I don't have any pictures to add today b/c I have made some submissions for things that I'm not sure I can post yet and some projects I've made for mothers day! So I obviously cannot post those.  I have been working on my week in the life project still and I FINALLY got my pictures today so I intend to work on the project either tonight or in the morning.  We'll see after I'm done on the web!  I also am trying to get my scrapbooking business up and running...how that works is I am making scrapbooks for people who either do not like the hobby or don't have time but like the idea of a scrapbook.  I have 6 orders pending...one of which I have the pictures for.  Let me tell you this is a process. I picked the pictures up and started sorting through them and picking out the ones I think I might use.  This has been a great idea for me....I get to do my favorite hobby of all time for extra money and it gives me a reason to get my stuff out everyday! :)  So if you are interested or know of someone who is.....please refer me.  I'm mainly just servicing the people at my church and my friends around the country....b/c I know of a few others who do this service to make money too! It's been great b/c I've just been sending people I know here to my blog to look at my work! Awesome! I hope you all have a great night and hopefully I'll have some new pics to post tomorrow!

Nice Day

It's amazing to me how one day mother nature can be so destructive and the next it is absolutely gorgeous outside! I plan to let Savannah spend the day mostly outside today.  I on the other hand am an indoor-sy kinda girl.  Which is ok b/c I have some scrapbooking projects I want to work on for design team calls and such! Yay! So exciting. I'm going to keep working on my week in the life project, speaking of that I checked on my pics today and they are supposed to be here tomorrow.  That's great news!

Today I also started something new...working out! Before 8am I have managed to blog hop and get some amazing inspiration for today, workout, feed the baby and change him and now he's back down for a nap, check and answer emails and have a peach smoothie for breakfast! My new goal for this next year between birthdays is not only to get some experience on a design team and challenge myself creatively but to lose 90lbs! What a quest! I'll let you know in a year how I did and progress along the way!

Enough blogging for now....I wanna work on something for Gallery Idol over at paper crafts magazine.  But to leave you for the day here is some more of my work!

These pics were taking mothers day 2009! Love the layout

This picture was taken on Garretts birthday...Sept 2008...znc i outlined the swirls with stickles...a lot of work but I am happy with the way it turned out.

This was Savannahs school picture fall of 2008!
