Project Life...and I'm lovin' every minute of it! I'm amazed at how easily some weeks come together all because of the kit choice. I wasn't sure what I was getting into, but I enjoy setting time a side to work on this, and have enjoyed looking back over the weeks I have completed. It will be fun to see what this looks like at the end of the year in PRINT! :) That's the goal anyways...

Happy Friday! It's been a busy week. I've been trying to get caught up with my scrappin', but my computer has different ideas, so I'm not nearly as productive as I'd like to be. So, I figured I'd do my blog post, instead!  So, I couldn't pick just one kit. The first one I will consider an oldie, but I still use it quite frequently. It's the Superlatives Bundle. It's full of neutrals, and

Hello out there! Is anybody there? I know it's been ages since I've posted here, but I know there was a reason why I didn't just delete this blog. I like having the ability to come back here from time to time! So, I am now an avid digital scrapbooker. Any chance I have a spare minute, I am either at Pixelscrapper, or doing my own scrapbooking, or both, at the same time. I have been

Happy Weekend to you! I received some pretty flowers yesterday and had fun playing with my textures, which I really haven't done in some time. 1. This morning my older son and I brought out the crafting box and put together some crafted cards. He helped me pick out the paper, and cut some of the different shapes with our paper cutters. 2. It was mostly a distraction as he and I stayed

It's nice to see the sunrise in the morning again. They say it's spring, however, the low for tomorrow night is suppose to be -4, so I'm not sure what is going on. There has been a fair amount of snow melting, but seeing as it is March, and it is Minnesota, snow is never out of the question. Hopefully the warmer temps will be here soon, and will STAY! Happy Weekend!

Hman is one to acquire many things. When he was a young lad, he would frequently bring home emptied milk jugs from daycare because he liked to hold the handle. There was a point where I had to draw the line with that. Most often, now, he brings his own toys and comes home with his own toys. Well, yesterday, when I went to get him, he was holding a Honey Nut Cheerios box. I was horribly

Well, I've been horribly unmotivated as of late taking pictures. I have been taking pictures, but some days I take one with my camera, but within the last week, I think I have used three of my phone photos for my project 365. Winter is just dragging on, the kids are both on antibiotics, and are finally sleeping. After all the ear infections we dealt with last year with TRex, Hman ruptured his

Not much new to report here...just trying to endure the winter. We are trying to get ready for a birthday party, so let's hope there are no snow storms anytime soon!

We went out to eat on Sunday, and they still had flowers and decorations set up from Valentine's Day. Cute little carnations were on each table.

Linking up with the Random Friday 5 Happy Valentine's Day! The kids' had a little party at daycare yesterday, and I think it is safe to say they had a lot of fun with it...especially the boy. 1. I have been so cold lately that, even though the temps have been above zero, I have been wearing at least one sweater. Most instances at home, I have an undershirt, sweater, vest, and sweatshirt on.

This week we made a new treat to take to daycare for their Valentine's Day party. I found a couple of recipes here, with variations of Muddy Buddys or Puppy Chow. So, I gave it a try. We ended up making Cherry Vanilla White Chocolate Muddy Buddies, and they are highly addictive. I could see use doing other variations on this, or even using those colored melts that you find at Michael's to mix

Despite the cold temps, I decided it had been awhile since I took a sunrise photo. Now that they days are getting longer it's no longer pitch black in the mornings, which is really nice!

1. It's January 31st and I've been ready for Spring ever since mid-December. 2. The kids really want to play in the snow, however, it's been way to cold for them to do so, and now the snow is taller than them. 3. On the commute home yesterday, both of the kids were going 'wheee' 'wheeee' as I was driving down the unplowed roads. 4. My winter boots look like I've owned them for more than one

Well, as much as I wanted to get a couple of posts up, I really have been unmotivated. The cold, now, we've got the bug...sigh. I've been doing the bare minimum to keep up with my photo a day. I haven't taken a shot with my lomo camera in almost a week. I think the kids are doing better than me with the cabin fever. They definitely do come up with some interesting ways to play with their toys!

The more you know, the more you grow...there is your PSA for right now. So, frequently when my husband and I are watching programs, we try to out-identify characters (without using the internet) we've seen on other shows and identify what show or character they played. The most recent occurrence of this was about an hour ago while watching episode 7 of The Mentalist. I identified Ashley Johnson

I am in the middle of a month long scrapathon, well, that's my term. But I've been getting caught up on my digital scrapbooking layouts. I had photos from Thanksgiving and Christmas that I needed to get completed, and have made some pretty good progress. I haven't, nor do I plan to upload them all, but as of now, I am up to 24 for the month. I am up to date, and mostly just have to work on the

Happy Saturday....what's new?! 'Twas a long day for us...cleaning, moving things, grocery shopping (ug!)... 1. Friday I got some decent shots of the moon. Probably the best ones I've gotten, to date. About an hour after I got to work, when I was getting some tea, I saw the moon still up, and had to go outside. I regret not taking my gloves and scarf. 2. Both of my children can sing the
