I Scrapped!

For the first time in weeks (months, maybe) I pulled out the old scrapping supplies yesterday. Since neither of my printers are working I couldn't print recent pics, so I went through some old ones & found these great black & whites from my trip to Fort Collins, Colorado back in 2000.



I went there in November that year to visit Pam & her now husband, Rob. I was there for 4 days & had a great time. We tried to go sledding in the foothills. We hung out in Denver for a day. My favorite day was when Pam & I went shopping in Boulder. What a fabulous little city! I know I'm missing several pictures of this trip (all in color). Maybe I never developed them, I don't know. But at least I have these pics of that great trip. The next time I visit Pam & Rob (and now Mom Brann too!), I'll be sure to go when it's warm!

Another Blah Day

Will Spring ever make it's true appearance here in Maine? I actually do feel somewhat fortunate in that we have less than 2 inches of snow left in our backyard. Mostly it's just frozen mud out there right now. Cary still has close to 3 feet & she's only 30 minutes inland from our house. Yuck! But today is just one of those gray & chilly days. I did hit the gym this morning, & of course, today is library day before dropping Jake off at Gramma & Pa's house so Emma can go to dance class. Other than that, I don't feel like doing much of anything around here. I am allowed a day like that every once in a while, right?

Oh, and I can finally post a pic of a star I made a few weeks back. It was something I sent in a scrapbooking package to one of my Scrappintologist friends on 2Peas. I really hope Britt likes it enough to hang it up!

And I think I'm going to start attempting to make my own clothes. I know, a little weird for me, but I found some gorgeous fabric at JoAnn's that would make a really cool skirt (again, weird for me since I'm not much of a skirt-wearer). I only bought a yard, so I need a little more than that, and a pattern to follow. But it will happen, I promise.

Goodies Up Close

Just For You, Kara! (Oops, I think I forgot to add the flower punch in there!)

MY Easter Goodies from Rhonda

I LOVE my Scrappintologist friends on 2Peas. We send each other cards on holidays & we do these awesome swaps. For Easter, Rhonda in GA had my name. She is the best! Here's a pic of my basket (minus the candy because, unfortunately, it's already gone!) that I received yesterday. I am in love with the Queen & Co. flowers (in the black containers), and there are so many stickers that you can't even see. Put it this way, Jake LOVES some of the stickers (dump trucks, tractors, spaceships) and Emma loves the girly flowery stickers. There are also a ton of Easter themed stickers & 2 stamps. I can finally get caught up on some Easter layouts!

Thank you so much, Rhonda!!! I LOVE IT ALL!!!!!!!!!!!

New Favorite

I was inspired this morning & made a scrapbook page with the pictures I took of the kids last week. I also used the same paper that I used on my Mom's star. I really like this page

a lot! It's my new favorite layout!
