Getting Inspired

Hey gang, getting ready to settle down for the night but also wanted to share with you that while working on those 3 l/o's this weekend, I also have been inspired by Jennifer McQuire's scrapbook room, have you seen it!! OMG!!!!!!!!!! yes, I have been rearranging and putting things in a box for the T.M. garage sale coming soon! I will be taking some pics of my room to maybe share some inspiration for organization and using some things you maybe never thought of!!

Pics coming soon!

ps. have you gone to theadvertiser.com to get inspired for exercise!! I have been doing a once a week tip for Fit and 40 ( yes, I am over 40). The paper shows the tip in print every Thursday and you have to click on local news to get the video that goes with the excerise tip! I think--not bad for an amateur!

Have a FABulous week!

Fall 2008

Here is the last of the l/o's that I got to finish!! Here is another HDYDT l/o that I taught @ T.M. The pics from last year's fall were picture perfect for this l/o. I hae 3 differ flip books on this l/o to add tons of pics. I just loved this paper and you can see again--more hand cutting. I did add some ribbon to the finished l/o. I just can't help myself!

Summer l/o

I have been trying to play catch up!! Ha, that 's a joke!! can you ever get caught up?? Here is another l/o that I taught @ T.M. last year!! I always LOVED this l/o -could it be all the hand cutting--YES, i do love hand cutting--have you noticed!! (smiles to all my students)

I couldn't decided what pics should be put on this l/o so I finally decided that Alexis's first time in the water @ 3months was a good choice

Hey Scrappers, well another weekend has come and gone sooooo fast. What do you think of the weather today??? My mom cooked a gumbo for joe's b-day and it was so delicious and the weather cooperated --who likes to eat gumbo when it's 90 degrees outside?? ha ha ha

Here is a l/o using some old SEI paper and envelopes!! You can make a "flip book" using envelopes to add more pics! How cute is that!! I can't hardly remember when Alexis was this little!

Weekend Getaway

Hey Scrappers,

Can you believe it is already August! Well, I have to send a shout out to Karen--Thanks so much for a fabulous weekend and have a FABULOUS B-day tomorrow!! Here are a few l/o's I did this weekend. Yes, I am a slow scrapper and wendy wins first prize for doing the most l/o's in 2 1/2 days! you rock!! Janet came in second and Connie came in with an unbelievable number of 6 l/o's!! We are all still in shock!! I thought she was slower than me but she was really pre-planned and made sure she had enough to work on. Yes, wendy, I will try my best not to over analyze everything I put down and just do it!!

It was so relaxing to scrap just for me and have fun all at the same time!! We started the fun on the drive up north! All I have to say is that "brunette's rock" (meaning connie and I) and blondes (meaning Janet and Wendy) shouldn't drive alone!! HA HA HA

We laughed all weekend from morning till night like little girls in grade school! The competition was who could get out the most l/o's done! It was such a good time. Thanks again Karen!!

I only brought 3 and here are the 3 l/o's I finished! Duh on me -- I didn't bring enough to do so I walked around and harrased everyone!

Hey Aphra, here is a shout out to you----- I used your paper bag technique on my western l/o and made some rope!! It was fun and easy!!
