Scrapbook Sunday Week 2

Can you believe it… a challenge I started and that I am actually going to see through…at least through to week 2.

I am happy to say that all 116 pages are in their protectors and in 3 albums!!  Looking awesome on my shelf.  Next up Finishing touches on Katy’s 1year album!!

DISCLAIMER: I surf the net and many scrapbooking blogs, boards etc. I am 99.9% none of these pages are my original design… I am sure I saw them somewhere, or they are my interpretation of a sketch. I am not a professional scrap booker… although I would like to be! I don’t list supplies and keep track of what came from where… that would take away valuable time that I can spend creating.
If you have a question… feel free to ask and I will do my best to answer you.

Scrapbook Sunday

I got this idea for a Scrapbook Sunday series from another blogger, she shares the pages she has worked on during the week on Sunday.
I am really hoping to get some use out of my Craft tab.  I have been cruising through pages these past few weeks and I am excited to share them with you.

I’ve Been Busy

I know you have heard me mention a mysterious new blog.

It’s a no go.  However I am going to try and be more purposeful in posting more under my craft button.

I have been busy, busy doing one of my favorite hobbies, paper crafting, particularly scrapbooking.  I have recently found my mojo after being in a creative slump for so long, and it’s great.

Some ladies have asked me how I got motivated again, I think for me it is because I have just jumped in and have taken away all the rules that were embedded in my head from my days as a Creative Memories consultant.  My books will still be chronological (I haven’t lost my mind) but, I am not necessarily scraping them in order, which is something I was limited to when I was exclusively using CM albums.  Now I just work on what makes me happy,  I have been working on our 2010 Family Album and Katy’s 1st Year. 

I have also began doing single page layouts, which has freed my creativity.  I have been stalking Nichol Magourik  she is so talented and inspires me to get in my craft room and play.

Also, I had my great idea that I was going to have a craft blog…hahaha! So I had to have something to write about. 

Here is what 40+ pages looks like

Catch All, Catch Up

WOW 10 Days since my last post!  The old saying holds true, NO News is Good News.  Not to say that I don’t have anything to say, because really, when is that the case?!

So this is going to be a catchall of our happenings some of these tidbits may turn into their own posts but for now… here they are!

As I am sure you know we here in New England have been getting SLAMMED with some serious snow! As I type this the white stuff continues to fall.  I don’t mind the snow, I expect the snow, I see no reason in complaining about the snow.  That said I HAVE NO IDEA WHERE WE ARE GOING TO PUT ALL THE SNOW! I can barely see around snow banks while driving, and every time I pull out of my drive way I am risking my life  since I have no idea if there is a  car on the other side of that snow bank.

Snow play with a 2 & 3 year old is really more like snow torture for all involved.  We have gone out and really no one enjoys it, but we do it to say we did it.  We much prefer to make snowmen from the comfort of our warm living room in our jammies.

Potty training was a complete success!! We couldn’t be more proud of Kate! Pee, Poop she does it all! She can even hold it, if needed and has no problem using a big toilet if her potty is not available! WOOHOO!

I unknowingly made the Dean’s list at school! Which was very exciting!  To be honest, I am shocked I am still dedicating my Saturdays for 10 hours, but I am and could not do it without Mike’s help!

I tackled my scrap room:

We went from this:

to this:

I’ll share more once I decide if I like it or not!

Sunday we were celebrating Mason’s 1st Birthday Party…When Katy spiked a fever of 103.7… thankfully turned out to be short lived and with a few cuddles, some Disney Movies in mama’s bed, Tylenol/Motrin cocktail she was fine by Monday morning! 

Most of our days are spent like this:

You know Embracing our life! Heck usually we LOVE this life.
