Unity Blog Hop!

Woohoo! Time for Unity Blog Hop! Did you just LOVE

ROBYN'S beautiful card?! Make sure you start at UNITY to catch ALL of the Fun! My scrap pages are done using CTMH Emporium Paper and Unity Stamps Time for Travel.

My favorite saying right now is, "Today is the Tomorrow we worried about Yesterday."

Thanks for stopping by. Your next stop is KENDRA!

The Very Thought of You!

This layout was for a challenge at Scrap-Tastic!
and I love the way it came out! These pictures
are some of Brandon's Senior pictures and I love
the look, pose and colors. I'm sure there will be many more of these pages as I'd like to scrap all the proofs, I love looking at them. My girlfriend, Ida, took his pictures and all of them are awesome! He was so relaxed with her which gave us some great shots! Wow!

Can You Hear Me Now?

Brandon got a Blackberry Storm for Christmas, it's what he really wanted. It does work good for as much as he text messages! Wow! Good thing we have unlimited, of course, I find myself texting him as well, just as easy. I love this layout. It came together for the SCS Challenge so easily and I just love when that happens. All Supplies are CTMH

Snow Play!

Notice something about these picts? YUP! They're the SAME pictures just on different layouts. That's what happens when your Mom scraps a book for both boys. I was using different scraps and sketches so thats why they are different. Both pages were very fun especially since it's me getting "older" pictures done again! Woohoo! I will get all of the young pictures of the boys in scrapbooks soon. I'm finally getting started on them. It's so much harder. When you're not a scrapper, your pictures are different. These however were very fun. Makes it bittersweet because of couse, I miss my babies. What sweeties they were. Guess they still are, just bigger.

I Do It!

This weekend I worked on layouts from
"older" pictures. While it was fun, it definitely feels in some ways that time "got by me". Where did all those minutes go of either of you at this age? What happened to Barney, Poe, Buzz LightYear, Yugio....I remember when I got this FP Camera for the boys and they both wanted to take their own pictures. They're funny to look at now, off center, not lined up. It was all part of growing up - learning to do it for yourself. How independent and wonderful you both are now.

This layout came from SCS Unity Scrap Layout #4. Amy has been posting some Fun Sketches to use. I think I like her as her blog name is "Caffinated Cropper" and you all know my favorite caffeine -- COFFEE!! Thanks Amy for the inspiration.

WOW! A First

YUP!! Woohoo! Happy Birthday to ME....ok a little early but it's still FUN! My Darling Scrapping "Distress Diva" Friend Gina (who I aspire to "distress pages" like) sent me this! How Fab is THAT! Now that I've updated the look and add more entries more often, I think my blog is finally coming around! Along with this award, I am supposed to list 5 Addictions and then pass the award on to 5 other gals.

My Addictions

1. My Boys (all 3 of them)

2. Scrapping

3. Coffee

4. SCS (Splitcoast Stampers)

5. Photos (I love to take picts)

I'm TRULY, TRULY thrilled to list these and think how far I've come. You see, it wasn't too long ago I had a Career Coach tell me I needed a "hobby"! I needed more balance in my life because I was very much a stressed, work-aholic. It would have been first on this list...and well, maybe 2nd, 3rd, 4th...you get the picture! Little did she know, it was some of the BEST advice I ever got! Here I am a MUCH more well-rounded, at peace, fun, family person!

I am passing this on to some of my friends from SCS (Goal Thread & Proj 365) & Nona whose blog I just love to view because you never know what wonderful crafty idea she'll be working on!

I'm Passing this AWARD to:

1. Val

2. Jenn

3. Patter

4. Donna

5. Nona

How VERY Fun! Thanks Gina!

Remembering...

Oh these pictures bring back such fond memories! Chuck E. Cheese used to be one of the boys favorite places to go! Mine too! I actually liked all the noise, lights and rides. What a great place for a Birthday party or a rainy/snowy Saturday. This was for Sketch #2 at "52 Sketches...52 Weeks" . Lots of fun to complete. This is my first page for Brandon's older scrapbooks! I would like to get them done by graduation but not sure I will. Still fun to try!

Supplies: Paper- CTMH Good Times, Ink - CTMH Chocolate, Twilight,
