Still Dreaming of Summer...

I found this cute picture of Alex and his buddy JP back from when we lived in Centreville, VA (which I spelled wrong on the layout, but NOT going to change it) and knew it needed some fun orange papers:


I used the left side of this Let's Scrap layout:

I'm looking forward to a weekend of scrappin in the basement - Alex will be at his dad's and Andy is having a John Wayne movie marathon that I won't be enjoying with him! (We have him a JW dvd full of old movies for Valentine's!). What are your plans?

Celebrating Summer...

We're having a heat wave here in MN - it's 34 degrees!! So I'm dreaming of summer and created this layout:


Can you believe how little Alex was? Oh my he's such a cutie!! This is from July 2006!


The layout is based on the right side (& turned sideways) of this Let's Scrap sketch:

It felt good to get this lil stack of pictures scrapped!!

Newly Listed...

I added some new items to my Etsy store!

I had this set listed for a while, but refreshed it with some crotchet ruffle border:


Girl's Chocolate Covered Strawberry set:


Baby Girl Hat:


Ugh, I need a little girl, can you tell? Ha! Love all things pink and girlie!!

My Funny Valentine...

We had a very sweet Valentine's Day here!

It started with a beautiful (& yummy) cake from our Sunday School leader:



I received this sweet array of goodies from Alex and Andy:


I was lucky to get to attend Alex's school party!
Here he is with his buddy Carson:


Making a Valentine frame:

(notice the red face!? They had music and he was a dancing machine!!)

Playing twister:

Heart stacking:

Making a Magic Heart:

Love the concentration on his face and his tongue slightly sticking out!!

Playing Hot Potato with a heart pillow:

Their teacher, Mrs. Pond with her circle of sweeties:

After the party, I went to lunch with my other Valentine, talked to my Vandy Valentine (miss you H!), snuggled on the couch with Alex to read all of his Valentines from school, had heart shaped pepperoni pizza for dinner and took my funny Valentine to taekwondo! I'm so very blessed!

Scrap my stash....

I joined a group at Let's Scrap that's "Let's Scrap our Stash" and we're encouraging each other to use what we have, don't buy new scrap supplies. I have enough supplies to open a store! Ha! Seriously. :)
This layout uses old papers and stickers:



Journaling at the bottom:



I used the right side of this Let's Scrap sketch:


Hope you're having a Terrific Tuesday!

Happy Valentine's Day...

Happy Valentine's Day! Here's some sweetness around my house:

I'm headed to Alex's school for their party! Cannot wait!!

Daisy Sunflower

I love the saying, "every boy needs a dog" so when I got this sticker "every puppy should have a boy. - Gene Hill" I knew I wanted to make a layout around that lil sticker! Luckily I took some good pics of Daisy while we were in TN for the holidays.

I love having my scrappy mojo back!
