It’s cold…just plain cold. Right now it is 8 and feels like -2. Â Every day that it’s cold I remember that I’m just not meant to live where it’s cold! I hate it with every fiber of my being. But for the time being, I guess I will make the best of it and do nothing!! I did really clean the house yesterday and then today I spent a good part of the day laying on the couch. I have some scrapping that I need to catch up on tonight, but I’m trying to be up to date on all my uploads and things.
MOC is in full swing at The Lilypad!! If you don’t know what that is, a new challenge is posted every day in the month of January. If you complete all 31 challenges, you get a $20 gift certificate to the store. This is my 4th year playing along and I love it!! I’m a couple of pages behind as of today, but I am going to try to get caught up tomorrow. Here are the pages that I’ve done so far:

I’m going to get my PL all updated tomorrow as well, so I hope to be back to post about that!! Until then, Peace, out….
Yep, the holidays got the best of me. Even with 2 weeks off, I couldn’t find time to get here, or maybe I was just lazy. Probably more the latter. I also took some time and finished up my Life in Pockets for 2016, and I’m really excited to start 2017. I haven’t updated the page with layouts yet, but I will get to that in a day or so. I also need to update my December Daily for this year. I always love that project and the final result. For now, I thought I would just come by and share some pages from the last couple of weeks. Actually most of them are from this last week.

In case you didn’t notice in the credits of the layouts, the wonderful Crystal Livesay is designing again and has a brand new store at Sweet Shoppe Designs. I absolutely adore her templates and am so excited to be a part of her CT!!!
It’s also MOC time at The Lilypad. If you haven’t joined in the fun, you really should. One challenge, one layout a day, every day in January. The best part is you get a $20 gift certificate just for finishing and a chance at a Polly spot! This is my 4th year participating and honestly, some of my most favorite layouts have come from MOC!! My pages from last year are HERE on the blog.
And if you’ve made it to here, HAPPY NEW YEAR!! I’ll be back soon! Peace, out…
I’ve been working on my pages as I have a chance. I absolutely love this project every year. This is my 5th year doing it and I enjoy it so much. I love looking back on past years as well. My photos are not all Christmas related, they are mostly just a glimpse in to what was going on that day, no matter how small a thing. I thought I’d run by tonight and share what I have done so far. I have yesterday and today mostly done, and hope to get them uploaded tomorrow but here is my cover and days 1-8 🙂

The QR code on the last one is to a recording I did of C’s concert. My phone cut off before the very end. One day soon I will have my Life in Pockets updated as well hahaha. Hope everyone is having an amazing weekend! Peace, out…
This week and next are probably two of the busiest of the whole  year. My goal is to be done shopping and such by next Friday when we are out of school and this weekend will be spent getting everything ready for all that goes on at my school and C’s this week. I need to do some serious catching up on wrapping and make a few gifts. I also have 2 pot lucks this week to prepare something for. This past week was spent with C’s first band concert and rehearsal. So, needless to say, not a lot of scrapping got done this past week. Actually none during the week. I hope to do some serious catching up this weekend. I have a couple of layouts to share that I managed to get done last weekend before the craziness!!

I’m going to try to catch up on some December daily pages before bed. Hope you all have a fantastic weekend!! Peace, out…
Gahhh I’m not really sure how it got to be December! Wow! I am seriously feeling behind on life right now. Yep, all of life. I do have a good bit of shopping done and some wrapping. My goal is to be done before Christmas break starts in a couple of weeks, but we’ll see if that happens. I’d like to be able to relax and enjoy my time off this year 🙂
With all the Christmas scrapping I’ve been doing lately, it’s felt like 100 Christmases already hahaha. But seriously, if you have not seen this month’s BYOC at The Lilypad, you are missing out. It’s amazing! Here are a few of the layouts I did this week:

With the exception of today, I am up to date on my Document Your December layouts, but behind on Life in Pockets. I hope to get that updated in the next week or so, but we are tied up most days this week with band concerts and such. It’s the most wonderful time of the year…repeat…. Have a wonderful week!!! Peace, out…
We are at the beach for the Thanksgiving holiday and it’s been awesome. Temperatures have been mid 70’s perfect and I got a little Christmas shopping done. I just hate that it’s about over and we are headed back to the cold, but hopefully we’ll be back soon. I thought I’d take a few minutes while I’m relaxing on our last night here to share some amazing newness in the shops this weekend. I think this is the most layouts I’ve scrapped in a week for awhile.
Check out these amazing new designs that you can still catch on sale at The Lilypad:

Hope you all have had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday! I’m off to see what else I can get in to this weekend! Peace, out…
Saturdays rock! They really do. Even if I spend a good deal of it cleaning. I love the relaxing time in the evening when I can catch up on things I’ve missed on line and not have to be worried about getting ready for the day coming up.
I’m headed to catch up on PL as soon as I’m done here, but I wanted to drop by and share the gorgeous newness this week.

A lot like Christmas!! Especially if you have been over at The Lilypad this weekend. The designers have knocked it out of the park this week with all their amazing Document Your December creations! This is one of my very favorite projects of the whole year! I try really hard to have all the pages mostly made before December starts so that all I have to do is add photos and journaling. I did a cover pages and several other pages this past week, so I have a good start! The photos it my layouts here are from last year, but I will redo them when the time comes with this year’s photos!

I’m going to spend the rest of the weekend working on PL for this week and trying to get some more DYD layouts ready to go. December will be here before we know it!!
There’s something refreshing about a new month. Time to start over, start fresh. Here we are in November. As much as I dread the cold weather cBOYoming, part of me loves this time of year and starting to think about the holidays. Football is over now and we have our evenings back again. Maybe with the new month and more time, I can spend more time here.
What a great  weekend it is in digiscrapping!! Designers never cease to amaze me with new and gorgeous creations!!

I’m going to spend the rest of my evening doing my PL for this week and hanging out in the gallery at TLP. So much wonderful inspiration there. Have a great rest of your weekend!! Peace, out…
I love them. The chores are done. The house is clean. The laundry is put away. Football is on tv this time of year. I am a happy girl. Now if I could get back on track with posting here more often, it would be great haha.
Football practices are still eating away at my evenings. I’m not sure what I will do with my time when we don’t have to go any more. C has decided that he is not playing basketball this year, so we have the winter off from sports. Honestly, there is a part of me that will miss it, but I will enjoy the extra time and not have to go out on cold snowy days.
Exciting news in my scrappy world – I am now a Polly for the Lilypad! How awesome is that. I’m still just kind of hanging around getting in the swing of things and learning how things work. It’s been fun so far!! I’m looking forward to being more a part of such a great site!!
I’m a bit behind on sharing pages, but here’s an update on what I’ve done the last week or so:
