Life gets in the way…

No excuse, just haven’t been by for a bit. I haven’t really been doing anything productive, just putting things off lol. I didn’t really do that many pages last week, so I spent some time organizing some files and setting up some tracking pages so that maybe I don’t have so many sticky notes cluttering up my desk! But I do have lots of great stuff to share this week, so here I am!

This is what’s new, in stores, and on sale this week!

Valorie Wibbens has her Add-Ons to Memory Pockets Monthly:

Simply Sunday…

There is something so peaceful about Sundays…especially rainy ones. I so love the simple things on Sundays. I’m swinging by here today to share the layouts I did for Simple Scrapper this month. If you have not checked out the Premium Membership at Simple Scrapper then you really should. It is such a supportive community and full of inspiration and motivation to get you scrapping purposefully!

I loved the Story Starters and Templates this month and had a great time creating with them! For the first layout, I chose to describe myself using only word art. This was fun and I tried to describe myself the way I am most of the time! I used Think Happy Be Happy by Amy Wolff.

For the next one, I used a story starter all about my current camera and used a kit by Etc. by Danyale called Musings.

Happy Friday!!

So glad to see Friday get here!! It has been a busy and tiring week. Time to recharge the batteries and get some neglected things done. Hopefully there will be time to get outside and do some things before the weather starts turning colder. We had 6 trees cut down in our yard this week, so everything is in a bit of a mess.

I have a few pages to share this evening, and all these kits are live and on sale now!

First up, September Wolff Pack by Amy Wolff. I love everything about these pieces. I paired up the new releases with her kit Think Happy Be Happy.

Ahhh Labor Day

Starting school earlier this year was not on my list of favorite things ever, but I have to say it is nice to have a little break after only a couple of weeks. Usually we have to wait until Thanksgiving for a day off. I’m trying to enjoy every minute of it and not rush through all I have to do like normal weekends. I meant to come by earlier today to share this week’s pages, but I worked on catching up on my Life in Pockets a bit this morning and then mowed grass this afternoon. Mom came by for a bit and then it was time to cook dinner.

Lots of beautiful new stuff this weekend and there’s still time to get it on sale! I have a few layouts using BYOC products at TLP…mixing and matching by Etc. by Danyale, Amy Wolff, and Valorie Wibbens. You can still catch these on sale if you hurry 🙂

Layout overload…

I’m a bit behind on posting again. My only excuse this time is trying to get back in to the swing of being back at work. What a crazy week! And I don’t feel any more prepared for my students than when it started. We have relatively little time actually working in our classroom. Most of the time is spent in meeting after meeting. But, as I always say, the kids will come…ready or not!

Anyway, I thought I would take the time to come by and share my pages in case anyone is interested in checking out these amazing kits while you can still get them on sale!!

What’s old is new again…

I am having a really great time working on some pieces for M’s room that I’m turning in to my space. Last night, I painted a chair and worked on a couple of new wine bottles. Not as in drank the wine, but painted empty ones. I’m not sure on the color just yet. It looked like what I wanted in the store, but now I’m not sure. I’ll have to see how it comes together.

And along the same lines…it’s SOSN (Something Old Something New) at The Lilypad today! I have a few layouts that I’m working on getting uploaded to galleries this morning.

First up is Chasing the Sun by Amy Wolff, using Laid Out template by Amy Martin

Winding down…

Summer is winding down and I am slowly coming to terms with that fact. I’ve had to work several days this last couple of weeks, so I think that’s kind of easing me back in to things. I finished up my transformation of M’s room in to a new office for me and I will share photos of that in a new post. There are a few things I didn’t get to this summer, but no point in stressing about it. It is what it is. We’ve had a good time and been able to do some really fun things. I have one week left and I hope to pack as much fun in to it as possible!

The best thing about it being August for me is the fact that I am a Guest Polly at The Lilypad this month and getting to work with some absolutely amazing designers and scrappers! I think I have scrapped more this week that I have all summer. Look out…here come all the layouts…

River~Rose has a new guest spot at Ginger Scraps and I love this adorable new kit. I used it to scrap M’s kindergarten photo from 15 years ago. One of these days, I’ll be caught up on their childhood lol.

Whew! Thanks for hanging with me. I’m off to see what I can get in to today and hopefully get some more scrapping done. Have a great Sunday!!

It’s going quickly…

Summer vacation, that is. It’s been a short one this year. “They” decided that the school calendar needed adjusting, with school starting and ending earlier. But in order to make that happen, we have to deal with a couple of unusually short summers. I have a couple of weeks left, but, most of this coming week, I will be spending at work on some extra duty building a new curriculum for the coming year. That will leave me with one week to fill with all the things I haven’t been able to do yet. I have accomplished quite a few things, but there is still so much to do. Never enough time. C and I took off last weekend and went to Carowinds with A, his wife, and daughter. We had a blast, but were worn out. I love that we’ve been able to get away some this summer, but it seems like it takes days to get ready before we go and days to recover when we get back. I’ve spent some time working in M’s old room some more this week. We tore up the carpet in there and are almost done painting the sub floor. I just need to get my big area rug and move all of my stuff in there. It will be nice to have my own private space. I’m going to try to post some pictures of the process when I am finished.

It’s an exciting month in my scrappy time. I’m guesting this month at The Lilypad! Also, one of my favorite people, Etc. by Danyale, is also guest designing there this month. I’m super excited. I need to get my gallery here all caught up and get back on track with my Life in Pockets. These are some of the layouts I have created since the last time I was here:

I’m Baaaack!

Holy cow, I really didn’t realize that I had not been here in so long. I honestly think about this blog every day and open it to start a post and then BAM something or someone distracts me. We were gone for a week to the beach and I didn’t have as much online time there as I thought I would have, and most of the time the internet sucked. I am planning to add some pictures to my Photos page when I have a little patience time.Since we’ve been back, I’ve jumped in to a couple of project that really needed taken care of.

First of all, I painted my daughter’s room. I could not stand another day with the bright a$$ pink that was in there. It is one of the first things you see when you walk in the house, and there was always this pink glow every where. Here is the before and after:

10985353_10207421430239124_1025965240478342144_n

I absolutely love the new color! I am going to rip up the nasty carpet in there and have decided that I am going to try painting the floor underneath and adding a throw rug for the time being. We’ll see how it turns out and I will try to remember to take photos of that as well. Can’t wait to finish the process of turning this in to my new office/craft space.

Yesterday, I cleaned out my incredibly messing junk laundry room. It is a huge room and I would love to come up with some neat ideas for fixing it up. I think I need to hit up Pinterest!

I have scrapped some…not a lot, but some. I’m not too far behind on my Life in Pockets and I will update that page as well as my Scrap Pages. Here are the pages I have done since the last time I was here:

We are supposed to head up to my dad’s old office today and move some furniture and finish cleaning it out. It makes me a little sad, but I know that my mom will be relieved to not have to deal with it any longer. She needs to relax a little. Have a wonderful Wednesday!! Peace, out…
