Two new things I'm really excited about!


We have a Rita's!  It is delicious and we are obsessed with gelati!
I finally have a Silhouette!  It has been an amazing week! :)

Sunday fun day


I declare this house organized & clean!  Still one library book missing, but we had success finding these.

Floors swept & mopped.  All laundry washed, folded, & put away in drawers.

Cookies baked.  Roasted chicken waiting to be shredded for enchiladas.

Happy kids & dog! 
Hope your weekend was good too!

Feeling scrappy




I put project life on hold for a bit to churn out some layouts.  I have a few others I haven't photographed  yet.  I like project life for what it represents and for holding on to our do dads and not, but it is not as fulfilling creatively as making a layout.  Hmm...but I do need to go back to it today and finish up June.  Sometimes it feels like homework!

School's out


Well, here you are summer.  It's been too long.  It's been busy, but here's hoping with you here, life will slow down a bit.

Tuesday


Something I found Monday at Trader Joe's on the bottom shelf in the coffee section.  I love chai tea and I was so happy to see this!  Trying not to drink it all in three days though.  It's hard because it's so delicious!



Project Life weeks 3 & 4 are coming along.  I've been a real monster taking photos with my iPhone and keeping track of the date and what we did.  Sometimes I pick up a real camera and I end up taking photos with that and it gets left out.  So now I want to go back and fill in some gaps.  I'll finish this up today and hopefully post mid week.


Only corner of my scrap room that is not a complete disaster!


Playing with gesso on a layout.  I'm finding all kinds of hidden gems while trolling through my supplies for PL.  


This layout literally came about because I found that glittered star tulle on the floor and I was halfway to the trash to throw it out and stopped, put it on a piece of white cardstock and started layering like a fool!  I like my new "ready set go" stamp I bought at Michaels yesterday.  I think it was .40 on clearance.  Good deal!


Craig hates the grocery store.  
It's the equivalent to a zombie apocalypse for him.  He willingly went.  I needed proof that it happened and I had to document it!

Second week


So I've been scrapbooking, how about you?

These are just a few of the layouts I made for the great CHA challenges over at Two Peas.  There's something about challenges that get the creative juices flowing!  So much Fun!


Here is my second week of Project Life.  To take on Project Life, I knew I didn't want to buy a kit or purchase new supplies monthly.  I have so much good stuff in my stash that sits unused that I knew I wanted to utilize it for PL.

So I plan on buying page protectors and using what I have sitting in my scrap room for my PL.  Hold me to it! :D
