Thursday, April 9, 2009 at 10:17AM Yes, yes, I know I just showed you a layout a couple days ago about how spring is my least favorite season. Doesn't mean that I don't still document it. ;) In fact, my layout over on the Prism Papers blog today is all about spring. Check it out. :)
Tuesday, April 7, 2009 at 12:04PM Just three other awesome scrappy things to share...
1. Don't forget to check out Prism Paper's blog, okay? Lots of fun projects!! (Mine included, hee hee.) Here's a sneak:
2. Lots of awesomeness going on over at Little Dreamer. I'm particularly excited about Tiffany Tillman's new templates! Such an easy way to ease my way into digi scrapping!
3. It's probably something y'all have known for ages, but my friend Heather's recent blog post opened my eyes and provided a solution to something I've been thinking about lately...how to label my albums on the spines. I love how easy this is...just a binder clip and a tag. Woohoo! Guess what I'll be doing this weekend, lol! Love the rest of her work also!!
Okay, that was it. Don't forget to see my post below from just a few minutes ago. ;) I added all those Lists of Me layouts to my gallery here, too. Happy Tuesday to you!
Tuesday, April 7, 2009 at 11:50AM Yikes. I just realized I have seven, yes SEVEN, Lists of Me layouts that I haven't shared. Shame on me! Without further ado, then, here they are (in order of when I did them):
Whew. I feel better now. :)
Lists of Me Monday, April 6, 2009 at 04:10PM Um, what does it say when you and your three year old each get a fortune cookie...you read him his, "You are original and creative" and then read yours "A great pleasure in life is doing what others say you can't" and he immediately recognizes that he wishes he'd gotten your fortune and demands that you switch?
Sunday, April 5, 2009 at 10:48PM Sorry I missed the whole start of April and all. :) Busy times around here...just happens every year around this time. Here's a quick run-down of what's happened this past week:
Noah (and Asher, but to a lesser extent) was once again distraught over the cancellation of Saturday's soccer games. (Last week (3/28) the first games of the season were canceled, too.) Can't play soccer with snow on the ground. :) Noah, btw, would like to know why we didn't just have a winter soccer season...and he's right, the weather during January and February would have been dandy for soccer...barely any snow at all then. Weird. Regardless, at least they've managed practices...since they're during the week when it's all beautiful and sunny. ;P
Ash wasn't feeling well but no one could figure out why...not a cough and runny nose sort of thing, just complaints of stomach pain and lots of fatigue and loss of appetite. Some days he'd be fine during the day but then crash at night. He (and Micah who had the cough thing going on) were waking up fairly regularly through the night...yeah, lots of not so good sleep. In any case, Thursday in the early morning, Asher's complaints changed to including chest and back pain and he was in such obvious distress that Nathan took him to the pediatrician...who was concerned 1) because none of the complaints and symptoms lined up, and 2) because the only thing she could come up with was possible appendicitis or internal injuries. So, my boy got to have blood taken for the first time. The results? Nada. Nothing wrong with the boy. And later that day he perked up again and has been fine ever since. Go figure.
Micah decided that he needed his own "special words" for bedtime. Both Noah and Asher have been telling me "everything to say goodnight" every night for years, but apparently that's not good enough for Micah. On Wednesday, he announced to me that he wanted his own words. Took some doing (me throwing out ideas) but he settled on "have the biggest and best dreams" and has been telling me so every night since then. Such a character!
After scrambling on Thursday to run heaps of errands (including paying taxes and two soccer practices after Asher's whole dealio) we delivered our quota of filled plastic eggs for our neighborhood Easter egg hunt that's always scheduled for the Sunday before Easter. The hunt was, of course, canceled on account of the snow still on the ground today. Bleh.
Beyond all that, though, I've been having a rather productive week. Homeschooling's going well. We've begun our staging and prep for Noah and Asher's science fair projects. (Our homeschool group is having our first ever science fair on the 26th!) And. I mostly caught up on my journaling for my layouts. My system, you see, is kinda anal...I keep a running list of all the layouts I plan/want to do. I try, as I go, to do the journaling so that I just have to go back and pick that up when I'm ready to do the layout. I've gotten a bit behind on that, though. So. I went back through my list and updated stuff and added the journaling. (Trying not to dwell on the large number of layouts on that to do list, lol!) Now I feel like I'm ready to go and am stoked. :) Hoping to be way productive in that department in the coming months! (And I managed to finish a handful of layouts, too! Will share as I'm able...)
Whew. Now that that's all out of the way, lol...I'll post more this week, promise! I'm thinking I'll have some layouts to share and maybe even a giveaway! So, stay tuned...
