What in the World?!

We have been trying to find something to hang over the mantel for oh about 10 years . 
Mitch surprised me with this. A deal he couldn't pass up. 

Mitch got his emp. discount and

It goes from $69.99 to $6.18. 

Here it is hung above the mantel.  I love it!  Thanks Honey!

2011-Day 13

So like everyone else, I wanted to make some changes this year.  And so like everyone else I have begun to fail.  Here is my short list.

• Stay off of FB every  morning and use the Wii  instead.
• Redesign my Scrap space to be more efficient.
• Start scrapbooking layouts again.

I had decided last night to not wait until Monday to start, so I stayed up late (10) for me getting my Fronterville passion out of my system.  I do not know why I play that game it really is habitual.  Anyway so because I stayed up too late, I actually overslept this morning until 6:08.  You have to understand that I usually rise between 4:30 & 5 so that would have given me plenty of time to use the Wii and shower and do all my other morning stuff.  Maybe tomorrow I will try again.  I am banning myself from Fronterville for a while.

I am putting off the scraproom redesign until I can find something I am happy with.   It is just such a small space there is not alot of room for change. 

Lastly my friend Shell has given me a great idea for my scrapbooking.  See this post she suggested that I start doing at least one Christmas layout on the 25th of every month.  So I am all over that idea.   She also did a great visual board to inspire her.  See that here.  I have a very large frame that I redid a long time ago, so I my use that as my inspiration board.  It was way back on 2007.  See that HERE.
That is all my crap for today.  Hope everyone is having a Great week and if you are lucky enough to have Friday and Monday off be creative and come back and share your creations with me.

Happy Thursday!

Thinking of doing Friday Cconfessional again tomorrow, anyone up for it?

Friday Confessional

Every Friday the Blog shown (click on picture to visit) below posts a Friday confessional, so I thought I would give it a try.  It's a way to update you a little and gets some things off my chest. 

Happy Friday!


I am new at this so cute me some slack.....

• I must confess and I love Fridays!
• I am super excited that Franklin now has a scrapbook store-But I'm bummed because I have no scrap funds to buy anything.
• June is getting closer and closer and I am not ready for my little boy to grow up
• I haven't done a scrapbook layout since March!
• I confess that all of the above is uninteresting to anyone but myself, maybe I'll do better next time!

Do you have anything to confess?  Feel free to share!

A New Year

Just a layout to acompany my post

     So here we are again starting a new year and I find myself lost with no direction.  I have been contemplating letting this blog go dormant for a while and just posting on my Project Create Blog.  I have been thinking about it alot and I have really gotten away from doing my first love Scrapbooking.  My pictures are piling up and no pages are being produced.  Frankly I have enough supplies to produce pages and pages.  So with that thought I need to make a decision.

     Judi and I started a project last year and well I fell short and never finished. I am ashamed of myself.  I may start up that project and finish before moving on to the next thing, which of course I have no idea what that will be!  LOL  I have thought of doing a Christmas Album of just Christmas pictures, but 25 years is a lot so that may be an ongoing project. 

     So you see how indecisive I am?  If you can offer any opinions that might help me I would so grateful.
Although I am not sure anyone even reads this blog so If you are out there, please just a small comment may help. 

Thanks & Happy Tuesday!

Happy New Year

We can do anything Together!!

Turned 18 this past year, perfect grades, a job and a sense of what he wants to do with his future

Turned 10 yrs old this year and testing us every step of the way!

As the year comes to an end and the New Year is begining we all reflect on the past year of our lives, I think alot of us have so much going on that when we think back, so many wonderful things have happened and some not so wonderful things, but we made it and the start of the New Year brings a sense of Hope! 

I have listed my favorite Crafts over the past year at Project-Create and I hope to finish up my list soon for this blog. 

Happy Sunday!!
