My how time does fly

I went to check thing here on my blog and what happened..over a month ago I was here wow...This working thing really puts a dent into my scrapbooking....well I am still getting pages done but I am not able to blog about them....
Today in the mail I recived my new Scrapbook ECT and now I am starting to fell really really behind...It was all Christmas and thats fine with me but...it just makes me think I had better get to doing my Christmas stuff and forget all alout Halloween and Thanksgiving....
Lots of others stuff going on....on the dog front...Vito our Seeing Eye Puppy #16 went back last week....and we have a new foster puppy....Maverick he is a 6 month old male Husky...looking for a forever home....well thats it for now because all the dogs are quite and that must mean they all are into something BAD

When life gives you a rainy day......

You spend the morning scrapbooking....The phone rang 5:30 AM...."No School" today flooded roads...heavy rains....buses cant pick up the kids...that means no school no lunch...ARTastic challenge blog...have not done a layout in a while so when I saw this months challenge I wanted to give it a try..So here it is...thanks for looking and have a great day.

Lots to say lots to do

I was picked as a FAVE over at Sketchy Thursdays...go check them out I really love this blog sketches are a great way to get started...

Trying to beat the deadline

I am trying really hard to get a few last layouts done before the end of August is over. But first I have a few things rolling around in my head...It has to do with my thoughts on "scrapbooking". I love pictures and I try real hard to scrap as many of these photos as I can...I have been know to even scrap the same photos many times but this is ok with me...Some layouts I will keep on working on till it is a "masterpiece" and other layouts I am fine with the "less is more" idea..I have many albums going, many photos to scrap I no longer worry about what others will say about my layouts I scrap for me....this makes me happy...
NOw with all that said...Here is a layout I just finished...It started by a challenge....this is one of those pictures I think I used in atleast 3 or 4 layouts already...but this picture my daughter played around with the color and because of that color the picture fit the challenge. But most of all I am happy with this layout... it makes me happy...simple and to the point...Sometimes a picture is enough, it can tell a story on its own,

Pink...splash of yellow...2 pieces of trim..tree also

Challenge over at The Moments just a few more days to get the challenges done.
Recipe challenge by Jess...
This layout just makes me smile...I am prretty sure I already scraped this photo but for some reason I had about 3 copies of this whole group of Photos my Daughter sent me...The challenge was to use one photo with a tree....pink pattered paper....2 pieces of trip oh and use a splash of yellow....When I read the challenge I knew just the photo for this challenge...go check them out...you still have a few more days to get them done...

Just a waiting game

I think we are ready...water...food....candles....flashlights....all good....just waiting to see if I will need to move my scrapbooking to higher ground later on tonight...in the meantime I did a layout for Sketches in Thyme "open" challenge
I went with Tiffany and her layout choice from Once upon a Sketch.
I love this picture of our little Aubrey look at those little toes and her smile...she is always smiling...Love ya Aubrey hard to believe you started out as a preemie...

Well that's it for now...I am off to make lunch then back to scrapbooking...
