I've been busy the last day or two. I've got several kits that I need to make layouts for so I'm trying to whip through them.

This first layout is one of Brooke when she was three. I love all the faces she gave the camera when I caught her smearing on her make-up. I have a feeling when she's a teenager I'll have to give her a lesson on "a little goes a long way." Credits here.

Journaling: Feb 2004, Brooke loves dressing up and she especially loves make-up. I found her this particular day in my bathroom with her make-up kit and she had applied about a two inch layer. I suppose this is only a foreshadowing os what's to come.

My second layout is a picture that I came across last night. Megan took this of Brooke when she was visiting us in FL one Christmas. I think it is such a great picture and I had forgotten all about it! Credits here.

Autumn Splendor

It's getting to be that time of year and so I was in the mood to do some fall layouts. This picture is two years old from a trip we took to visit my family in NC. Lucky for me, I was provided with this awesome kit because I was chosen to be a guest CT member (Creative Team) for Cori Gammon. Her designs are really fun and beautiful. You can see for yourself at the digichick and elemental scraps.

Being on CTs really pays off because you get to scrap with great products for free just for promoting the designers. I'm not sure who gets the better end of the deal - us or them :) But I'm not complaning!

Wow, has it really been almost a month since I posted anything? Well, my excuse this time - and i always have excuses - is that I am doing the Stand Up and Scrap contest. It's a 6 week contest and basically for me it's just a way to get me out of the little box I scrap in. So, I've done 2 layouts for that but I can't post them until the 6 week contest it over. So, the good news is that you'll get to see 6 LOs at once :)

I did manage to whip this one together tonight. I was a little behind on using Heather's latest kit so I needed to get a LO done and posted to the galleries.

Addicted to Scrappin?

At Sweet Shoppe this week they posed the question, "How do you kill time on-line?" What is my favorite "non-scrapping" internet time waster? I must say that pretty much- well all my "fun" time online is scrap related. Does this mean I'm addicted? I believe so. Now, if I were my sister, or my friend JJ (you know who you are) I could list a gadzillion websites that I HAVE to peruse daily. But for me, I'm happy spending all my time scrappin'!

Mischief

I took this pic last year of the kids and I just thought it was so cute! They were so intent on what they were doing it never even dawned on them that maybe they shouldn't be putting their dirty feet in our water pitcher.

You call it fun...I call it mischief. I should have know something was amiss when I heard the kitchen sink continually running. However, I was a little too busy scrapbooking to check on you two and when I finally arrived in the kitchen it was to find you both enjoying yourselves immenslely, playing in the water and washing your feet in the water pitcher. I scolded you for good measure and then ran to get the camera. It was just too cute and who cares about a little toe jam in the water anyway?

An evening at the Park

Dale's softball season just ended so we went to watch him play at one of his last games. One of the parks where he plays has a really nice playground and the kids really enjoyed playing before the game started.

An evening in the park before Daddy's softball game. What a joy to watch you laugh and play.
