Wowsers! It's summertime!

Ok, so I've neglected the blog! Not like anyone has read it anyway! I just had a week of vacation where I had a pretty productive week! Pretty excited about that! I did get a better grip on the scrapbook room! I've weeded through and put together a keep/toss/sell pile! I'm a huge fan of craigslist lately and have really had a lot of success selling items on there. I've also advertised my scrapbook services and have had a couple of bites. So excited about that! I love to scrap and doing other people's scrapbooking seems more fun right now than doing my own!

It's going to be a busy summer! The kiddos are growing like weeds! My youngest turns 2 this week and it just about breaks my heart that she's no longer a baby and turning into a toddler! My oldest is sooooo smart, she really needs to keep busy or she gets herself into things she shouldn't be in, including my scrapbook stuff! Too cute though some of the things she comes up with!

Summer for me includes, lots of days at the pool, lots of cookouts and lots of playing outside in the yard! Looking forward to a fun summer, just so glad it's warm outside!!!

Scrap lots & according to my wall art "Scrap your heart out"!

Til next time...

Happy Monday!

It's another week filled with lots to do as usual. I'm still working on my scrapbook room, I took a ton of pictures this Easter weekend and feel so overwhelmed with how behind I am on scrapping my photos. I'm vowing now to do a layout a week.

I have come to realize I need to be happy with where I'm at and keep making those memories, time is flying by and my girls are growing so fast. I will be able to scrap for the rest of my life but I won't have these BIG moments with my girls forever.

Live for today!

Decluttering!

It's that time of year again, time to clean out closets, scrapbook rooms, cabinets and desk drawers. I've been busy trying to declutter everything! I have so much stuff, I just can't get motivated to do anything when I have millions upon gazillions of items to scrap with that is in an unorganized mess! It's crazy, I can organize everyone else's stuff and scrapbook for other people but I can't seem to get it together to do my own stuff.

My goal this week is to declutter my creative room and get back into business!!! Hopefully I'll have some new things to post in the next couple of weeks when this scrapper's block is gone! ;0)

Have a great week!

Fancy Bag Book & Other Scrappin from the Retreat

Here's a pic of the mini bag album I created this weekend for my little one who is in LOVE with Fancy Nancy books! We're creating her own book of Fancy words!




I've also included some pics of the pages that I was able to complete this weekend, it's amazing what you can do in a weekend without kids! ;0)












Here's an Easter goodie that I love, this was a project we did at one of Kelly's crops a few years ago and I love putting it out at Easter time on the mantle! So cute!!



Enjoy!

Scrapbook Retreat Weekend

So sad the weekend is over! This weekend my sis and I went to a new retreat, Sweet Adalene's in Mitchelville~ it was so much fun!! I made a bunch of new pages and an adorable "Fancy" book for my little one who's a big Fancy Nancy Fan!! Here's some pics of the chica's I spent my weekend with (I'll post the rest later)! Made some new friends this weekend (Addie's Angels)! We had a great time and I look forward to many trips to Addie's!! Well, it's spring break here for all of the kiddo's, but not me, a long weekend and now it's back to work! It was fun while it lasted!

Happy St Patty's Day!

Happy!

I'm so happy today! The 70 degree weather really lifted my spirits! Now if I could just get some of my latest work posted on here I'd be even more happy!

It's almost Friday and this weekend I'll be doing another weekend of spring cleaning and starting on my scrapbook room! It definitely needs an overhaul!

I hope to find some inspiration in some of the stuff I forgot I even had!!

Stay tuned...

Spring is coming!

It has to be here soon! I think the only thing that will get me out of this blah mood is if I can have a little faith that spring will soon be here! Since tomorrow is President's Day I get to spend the day scrapbooking!! YAY!! I hope to have some awesome pages to post after the day is done! Stay tuned, I've found some adorable spring items to add to my pages, I can't wait to use them!

Have a nice day of rest and we'll hope this week turns out to be sunny and warm!
