Blog

Where did January go? Oh yeah, it was busy! I participated in the Month of Challenges at The Lilypad and finished for my 10th straight year. It was so fun and helps a dark dreary month fly by! If your interested, you can check out all my pages for that here – MOC 2023. In addition to that, my kiddo started his last year of MACC. It’s an academic competition team that he is part of. He is on the Social Studies and All-Around teams, and we are hoping for big things this year!!

Now that MOC is behind me, I’ve finally been able to get started on my PL series for this year! I’m using Scrapping with Liz’s Simple Life Templates, modified to an 8.5×11 size, along with Sahlin Studio’s Weekly Cards and Memory Pockets Monthly at The Lilypad. I’ll be adding all of them to my Project Life Section, but here are my first few pages:

I’ll be back soon to share more! Hope you have a great week ahead!!

I kind of fell off the wagon for a little while, December was kind of a mess of good, bad and busy! My mom was sick for a little while and it was pretty scary. She is on the mend now, but we’re still keeping a watchful eye. Then, on December 5, my newest granddaughter made her entrance in to the world, 3 1/2 weeks early. She is doing great and so precious.

Christmas became a little bit of a crunch but, once break rolled around, I was feeling pretty good about things and getting in the spirit. Then, bam, Christmas Eve at 3am we lost power with temperatures below 0 and -30 wind chills. We don’t lose power here very often, so I figured it would be up and running pretty quick. Was I ever wrong. We ended up without power for 36 hours. All we had was a little space heater to hover over, lots of blankets, and a bunch of rousing games of Trivial Pursuit. We spent Christmas Day opening gifts and trying to stay warm. Chance and I finally left around noon on Sunday to take a shower and cook some food at my mom’s. Then we went to visit the new baby. The power came back while we were gone, but it took a good bit before the house was warm again.

So, that’s where I’ve been. Plus the fact that the internet was out for a couple of days after the power came back. I did manage to get caught up with PL pages and DYD pages. I have those updated for the most part.

Now here we are! I’m mainly dropping by today to share a couple of things I’ve managed to get done in the last few days.

Rachel Jefferies is now a part of Memory Pockets Monthly at The Lilypad and I am so excited for what she brings to this collection! Here is a layout I created using the main kit and her add-ons!

I don’t think I touched my planner at all in 2022, but I am determined to change that in 2023. Here is my first page for January!

And so here we are. Let’s see how I do with keeping up with all of this! Only time will tell 🙂
I hope that you all have a fabulous and safe New Years weekend!!

I hope that everyone had a fabulous Thanksgiving and, if you participate, a successful Black Friday!! I didn’t do much shopping because I tend to get overwhelmed with all the things, but I do hope to look around a bit over the next couple of days.

I thought I’d take a minute today to share some new releases for this weekend! There are lots of scrapping Black Friday sales going on and it’s a great time to stock up!!

Here are some pages that I worked on this week!

Make sure that you check out these gorgeous kits and all the other great Black Friday sales going on around digiland!!

Hope the rest of your weekend is simply amazing!!

Holy cow! I won’t even tell you how many times I have said that I am going to get back on this blogging thing. We’ll just call 2021 and most of 2022 a wash! Life has truly been up and down, and you know what they say about good intentions!!

I have updated my PL pages through last week, so if you want to do any catch up on what’s been going on, most everything is there. I also added 2020 and 2021 DYD if you’d like to check it out. I’ll be adding all the credits as time allows.

I’ve still been scrapping away, although not as much as previous years. I’m going to do my best to update here with new pages going forward. I would really love to be back in this space on a regular basis, so wish me luck!!
