Pages!

I have finally taken some pictures of some recent scrapbook pages. Neither is 100% finished. I still have to include journaling on each and a few finishing touches. I cant wait to start scrapbooking in my new room. I still have layouts all over my desk to put into albums, so I cant scrapbook until I do that. Im trying to set it up so that it is convenient to get at everything I need. I dont want to post pictures until it is completely finished (or at least nearly). I still need to hang pictures, find pictures, make a slip cover for my chair, and find a few pillows for the furniture. If only I had the money to do it all at once. Anyways, just wanted to post a few pages. I will take pictures of more soon and hopefully this will be the start to regular blogging again. I still check several blogs everyday so I really have no excuse not to post myself.


This is a layout of my niece Ella. She has on her mommy's cowboy boots from when she is a little girl.Its hard to see the embellishments in this photo of the layout. The lighting wasn't very good when I took the picture. There are three photos in sequence of her being goofy with her sippy cup.

This is a layout I did of myself. It has a photo that Melina took of me. My favorite one that she took. I love the colors of this layout. I still have the journaling left to do and it will go on the lined paper underneath the butterfly. I took a closeup picture of the butterflies because there is a rubon and then a ghost shape on top of it. The ghost shape is outlined in glittery stickles which you cant see. I also havent finished the title and im not sure what it will be. The journaling will be related to it, if I ever choose one and I also have to get over the fear of using my handwriting on a page. I wish I had beautiful writing like so many people that scrapbook.

Valentines Day

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!
I love doing little projects for people and when work asked me to make 100 Valentines tags, of course I couldnt say no. The funny thing about me is that I have problems working on a low budget. This makes it difficult for me when trying to make them fabulous. I was pretty happy with how they turned out. It is really difficult working on a 1" x 2" space. Oh and of course is Laura is going to bug me and mention to everyone that "I USED STICKERS", so now I am officially not a sticker snob!


I am currently working on my new scrapbook room. I am so excited as I have never had one and have ALWAYS wanted one. I feel a sense of calmness as soon as I walk into my room. It mostly just needs finishing details now, like photos and little accessories. Right now my desk is currently filled with layouts from 2006-2008 and none of them are in albums (because why would I ever put my layouts in albums). So once I get that done I can start blogging regularily again. I actually have quite a few things I can post considering its been so long. My hope for this room is that I am in it every creating something! I will also post pics of it as soon as its done being decorated. So I will leavce you with a picture of my tags. I hope that everyone has a great Valentines Day. Im spending mine at work and then with Quincy (thats wat I named my pup). Hope you check back soon.

Tulips are my all time favorite flower. I bought two bunches the other day and I just thought they were beautiful.
