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!!

These are all amazing kits! I am thrilled to have been able to work with each and every one!! I’m off to do the chore thing. Hope you have a fantastic Sunday. Thanks for looking. Peace, out…
Well, normally I would be happy to see Fridays come, but this one not so much. It is technically my last day of summer vacation. Looking on the bright side, let the countdown begin again! Part of me does crave the routine of the school year, but the evenings do become so rushed and there never seems to be enough down-time. But like it or not…here it comes again!
Fridays are pretty awesome in the digi-world. Lots of gorgeous new releases! I have a few new pages to share.
First up is Lifetime Stories Kit and Document Set by Etc. by Danyale at The Lilypad. I did this page for the Journaling Challenge.

I am totally enjoying being a Guest Polly for this month, especially since I get to work with amazing designers like Sissy Sparrows. It’s been a bit since I got to play with one of their kits and they are so fabulous. This one is The Marble Jar.

Over at Pixels and Company Celeste Smith has curated this adorable kit called Foodie. that is a great compliment to the August Collection as well as a great stand-alone kit.

And last but certainly not least, and brand new tonight, is Little Miss Sunshine by Traci Reed. Adorable!

Looking forward to a relaxing last weekend before the rush begins. Enjoy yours!!
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 last, but certainly not least (this is one of my all time fav kits), this one uses Gypsy by Etc. by Danayle

I’m out for now…Have to take DH to the dentist and maybe take C shopping for some school clothes while we wait. Have a great rest of the day!! Peace, out…
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…

August also means a brand new collection – Bon Appetit –Â from Pixels and Company. They are always so amazing and this one is no exception!

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!!
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:

Now to get them added to the gallery and finish up that floor! It’s also a beautiful day, maybe a little trip to the pond with C for some fishing is in order. Hope you all have a wonderful Sunday! Peace, out…
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:
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…
The start of a new month also means a brand new collection from Pixels and Company. I so look forward to these every month, they are always amazing and I am able to use them over and over again, all month long! This month’s collection is called Wanderer, and the matching Journaling Cards are so awesome!
Here are two of the pages I have created, so far, with this fabulous collection:

Stop by and check it out! And come by the Pixels and Company Friends group on Facebook and chat with us!
I’m off today to clean out the car and start getting ready for vacation! Woot! Peace, out…
Yikes! July already. The summer seems to go by sooo fast. But I do have to say that July is my most favorite month of the year! Here’s to hoping it creeps by!
I have exciting new stuff to share today! First of all, registration is open for Stash Bash at Simple Scrapper!

Next, as I said in previous posts, Etc by Danyale’s store at SO has closed. But she is not gone! Now open is the Etc. by Danyale Shop! And with that comes a beautiful new kit called Lifetime Story. There is also a matching Document Set and an Alpha Set. And that’s not all…there is also a Free Mini Kit. Come check it out!!! Here’s the page I created with these beautiful new designs:
It’s going to be a great month! Let’s get this thing started!! I’ll be back with more awesome stuff soon! Peace, out…
I was going to title this post Manic Monday, but it wasn’t really manic at all. I spent the first part of the morning on the deck reading a new book and then cleaned out the hall closet. We had sloppy joes for dinner and I’ve been scrapping ever since. The title also reminds me that next week we will be at the beach and I can eat at one of my favorite places, Mellow Mushroom!
Just swinging by to share my latest Life in Pockets pages. I am all caught up!!
Pocket Life ’15: June Collection by Traci Reed Weekly Edition by One Little Bird
I have training for work tomorrow and working at my dad’s old office with my mom on Wednesday to try to get it cleaned out so they can sell the building. Hoping to get another baseball game in there as well. So, I’ll be back when time allows. Have a great start to the week!
A day of rest. At least I hope to make it that way! It’s been a busy couple of days. We had C’s end of season pool party with his baseball team on Friday night. They are a really great group of kids and everyone had a blast. The moms that worked to put it together did such a great job and the cake was awesome! There were even little jersey shaped cookies with the kids names and numbers on them.
Yesterday, I spent the day cleaning out two rooms of the house. M had come and picked up her bed for her new house, so her room was a complete disaster. I worked most of the day in there. The next step is to paint her BRIGHT pink walls! I’ve been wanting to do that for years!! And then I’m hoping it will become my new craft room. Today, I think we are headed out for a while to eat and just get away from the house.
But first, I wanted to come by and share a couple more layouts that I worked on for this week. Both use All Year Round: Destinations Collection by Traci Reed and Jady Day Studio at Sweet Shoppe. The first is a pocket style page and the second a more traditional layout (using a retired template by Zoliofrope).
All Year Round: Destinations by Traci Reed and Jady Day StudioAll Year Round: Destinations by Traci Reed and Jady Day Studio
I’m looking forward to using this one again when we go on vacation in a week! I’m so excited!! We didn’t get to go last year for various reasons, but this year I am ready to get out of here for awhile!!
And one more reminder that it’s the last days to get in on the fantastic deals from Etc. by Danyale before her store closes at SO. Make sure you grab what you can before it’s gone for good. And make sure you are following Danyale, either on Facebook or by newsletter to find out all the exciting things to come!
And I am out of here for today. Hope everyone has a sweet Sunday! Peace, out…
