yo yo yo

Hey guys, if I have any readers left!  What a winter!  I decided to hibernate but now that the weather is getting warmer I have a bit more to share.  My boy turned 3 at the end of last month, that might have had something to do with my lack of posting.  I love him to death but man was he driving me crazy!  We are getting along better now that he's a bit older.  I am taking deep breaths and enjoying these easy days. 

Also wanted to share some scrapbooking with you.  Had a fun weekend with my mom, my aunt, and my aunt's friend Kim.  Here are the results:

Happy spring! 

this is why

hi!  i have so much to share (what a weekend) but i don't have the time right now (owen is eating lunch almost on my lap as i type this).  but i wanted to give you this, just for now, just for today.  I never thought I'd say this, but I love scrapbooking.  When I said that to a non-scrapbooker last week she said, oh, owen will appreciate that when he's older.  I didn't have the heart (or the energy) to explain otherwise.  But Shimelle has done it for me.  Thanks Aunt Beth for sharing her site (I'd only seen her as a guest blogger on other sites before)!



Hope your week is going well, I'll share more as I get a chance!

exhaustion

in a nutshell, that's what i feel.  just can't recharge the batteries.  but that's just how it is sometimes. 


here are a few layouts i've worked on this week:

hope you're having a good week!

A bit of disappointment

Hello all,

I suppose I put this off long enough.  After building up your hopes over the past month, I will not be able to show you what Owen was for Halloween.  Because he was nothing.  He would not put on his costume.  Not one stitch of it.  In all honesty, I was more disappointed because I could not take cute pictures and show all of you than I was because he didn't wear it.  I actually wasn't that surprised.  Nonetheless, here's what he would have been, had he cooperated:

It's Max from Where the Wild Things Are.  I was going to let him gnash his terrible teeth and roar his terrible roar.  But it was not to be.  If anyone needs a costume for next year, size 2-3T let me know!  Owen just might be this next year too.  Hopefully he won't grow the way little boys grow...  Nope, I take that back.

Instead, Owen trick or treated with three of his cousins, Ben, Sam, and Anna.  The two bigger boys ran up and down the streets in excitement the way boys do on Halloween.  The two younger kids stayed in the wagon and let the adults do most of the work.  Which we were happy to do.  The weather was nice (no rain, not freezing) and we made it up and down several streets.  What a crazy neighborhood we live in, and ours is the craziest street!  Here is our motley crew (Ben was a Wii remote, Sam was Spider-man in cowboy books, and Anna was a kangaroo.  Owen of course, was nothing):

Sorry these are the best pictures I've got.  I was a bit disscombobulated...

So to make myself feel better this week, I organized my scrap area.  I added a shelf from IKEA and redistributed supplies that I use a bit more or less than I used to.  This is my corner:

Look at these drawers, stuffed to the gills.  Ehrin, you would go nuts!

Here are some layouts from last weekend and this week:

 Hope all is well for you guys.  Daylight savings this weekend, everyone without a toddler gets an extra hour of sleep!

Sharing for Studio Calico

A real quick Friday post.  Halloween is almost here, I just can't wait.  I don't have any decorations up, I don't know why, busy doing other things I guess (see past posts this week!).  Hope you guys all have a great weekend too. 

Hello Thursday

Four more layouts (I know, I can't stop!!) done yesterday and today.  You know, this is how life is for me.  When I get going, I just go.  It's like that with everything.  I can be a bit obsessive.  It's kind of important to keep positive things as the things I'm obsessed with.  I'm working on that.  Sorry about the quality of this pics.  It's a cloudy day here today.  Click on any picture to have a closer look. 

This one is a studio calico lift.  I added a bit but pretty much took it right from the example.  The paper is gorgeous, isn't it?  It's Sassafras' new line.  I added links at the side of my blog.  Sassafras is the hedgehog.

Also wanted to share this.  Can't stand Katy Perry but love this version of Teenage Dream by the Rescues.

It's beautiful, isn't it?  Takes the yuck out of the song I think.  Happy almost Halloween!

No title ideas

I've been blogging so much I don't have any title ideas.  How boring.

But I do have another page to share with you (scraplifted partly from Kelly Purkey at Studio Calico):

One of the awesome things I feel like I got out of Amy Tan's workshop is that I should do pages for myself!  So I am!  This is like the second one I've done just about me.  I really really like it.  It's okay to be a little narcissistic.   Say that ten times fast.  Oh, and that's totally me standing on my head.  I even took it with the timer so I had to run down the hallway and hop upside down really quick before the flash went off.  It was fun!  I recommend it!  And doesn't Joe look like he's wearing blue blockers??  Ha hahaahaha, maybe that is a good idea for Christmas...  he is getting up there...

So that's that!  Hope you are having a wonderful Wednesday.  It is so windy here it feels like the whole house is going to blow away.  Still trying to get my kid to stay in bed, arg...

Amiee!  (you're welcome for the little something extra today!)
