It was a great weekend to stay in my jammies and scrap and I actually got ALOT done!!!!!!!! Friday night it was cold and yucky so the jammies went on early and I sat downstairs with my little space heater and did a few layouts, but more than anything tried to corral my mess and get things somewhat organized as it was very much needed. Saturday I did get out of my jammies as I did the cook book class at the Playground, then when I got home from that, EVERYONE in my house was asleep!!!!! How perfect so back downstairs I went and did a few more layouts, then back on went the jammies! On Sunday I got up and took a shower and put on clean jammies to spend the day in!!!!!!!!! I just love those days! I got my Project 365 caught up todate (you guys really shouldn't have quit so early, it is actually quite fun and interesting!), I worked on May baskets for my kids' classes and attempted to put my foot high pile of finished layouts into albums and realized I really need to start scrapping chronologically instead of always doing new pictures first because then I wouldn't have to take my books apart everytime I go to put the pages in there. I also realized that I don't have nearly enough page protectors or albums or space to put the albums when they are put together.!!!!!!!

Love this layout. I stole this idea from Kendra (Thank-x Kendra) I didn't have the cool chip board she did, so I just pop dotted each of my layers and it turned out really cute!!!!

These are the same pictures as above, just different papers. I really try to do two layouts of each, then my kids have one for their book and I have one for my family album.


It is a good thing my daughter didn't look at all of my finished pages fromt this weekend because I did all Hayden pictures and she might feel a little left out!!!!!!! (This weekend he was much easier to scrap because Haley was being a little pill and it is really hard to do "princess" pages when she is acting like she is 2!) Have a good week.

I made these adorable strawberries for my bunco group. These pictures aren't very good (sorry) but they are super cute and super easy. I am going to make some more for the kids' teachers' may baskets. They are filled with M&Ms. (splitcoast) I wish I had some of the old green plastic woven baskets that strawberries came in, but can't find them anywhere, so if anyone has a stash pile they would like to get rid of, let me know.

This weekend we went back to my mom and dad's in Murdo and the little tiny town (yes, they come smaller than Murdo) just outside of Murdo had a carnival that we went to. I remember always going as a kid and my kids have went every year. Every year we try and try to win a cake in the cake walk and up until this year my kids have both went home crying without a cake, but this year Hayden won one and was so tickled. It probably ended up costing us $30 as many times as we went, but we came home with a cake, then he was so proud of it he wasn't going to let us eat any of it. I am not sure what exactly he thought we were going to do with it if we didn't eat it but.........
Yes, yes I know, these don't do any of you much good now a month after Easter, but that is just the way my life functions right now. I made the fry box rabbits for Haley's class (thank you Cathy for the cute idea and use of your Big Shot!), the buckets were for the teachers and were filled with alcohol ink eggs and the carrots were for Hayden's class (modified a template from splitcoast to make it work!) The teachers loved them (probably more than the kids, the kids just want the candy)!!!!!!!!! So to all of you, I hope you had a happy Easter!

Finally, I am updating my blog!!!!! ~ I know it took me long enough!!!!!! These are some of the pages that I did during one of the MANY snow days we have had in the last month. I love snow days, sitting inside in my pajamas, baking cookies, watching it snow, watching the kids play in the snow, scrapbooking and watching movies, but ENOUGH is ENOUGH. We have had enough snow for this year. I am ready for spring, ready to plant flowers and mow the lawn and go camping, but according to the news, it isn't done yet and we are supposed to get another one this week. ERRRR. I think I will go by the 7 day forecast in the paper instead of the one on TV. According to today's paper it is supposed to be 60° and no snow!!!!!! Also my house could use a break from snow days. It is amazing how much bigger of a mess things are and how much more food we go through when everyone is snowed in!!!!!!

About Me

I have 4 kids (17,16,8, and 6) I work at home doing medical transcription and love being at home (most of the time). Life is very chaotic at my house and my little kids (and big kids) keep me on my toes!!!!! I enjoy scrapbooking as a stress reliever and it gives me "ME TIME" which some days is much needed. I have been married for 7.5 years to a wonderful guy who supports my scrapbooking addiction! (He doesn't have much choice as I support his hunting addiction!)
