Motivation…

I’ve finally found a little motivation and have been doing some cleaning out and purging around the house. I hate taking the time to do it, but it feels so good to get rid of junk and de-clutter!! I’ve done 3 rooms now and today I worked on the out building, sweeping and cleaning. Now to just finish the rest of the house!!

Needless to say, I haven’t scrapped a whole lot because I’ve been doing all the other things. But I did want to come by and share what’s on sale this weekend. It’s some gorgeous stuff!

Starting with this amazing collab from 2 of my favorites – Just Jaimee and Sara Gleason:

And that’s pretty much it for this week. I have one week to catch up on in my Life in Pockets and tomorrow I will get my planner all prettied up for next week and try to get some photos. Hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend!! Peace, out…

Newness…

Ummmm, how did it get to be July already? I feel like I blinked and June was gone! If we are accomplishing anything with this summer break, it’s relaxing. We’ve done that very well!

Just stopping by today to share the newness that you can find in the digi-world this weekend. There’s still time to grab them on sale!

I am off to do some organizing on the computer and post updates to my Life in Pockets. I finally got all caught up with that. I hope to get some Planner pics and update that as well. Hope you have a wonderful Sunday and a happy, safe 4th of July!!

Newness and some prayers…

Before I get in to all the amazing new designs that are on sale this weekend, I want to take just a second to ask for prayers for so many people here in the state of WV. 44 of 55 counties are currently under a state of emergency due to devastating flooding in some parts of the state. Last I heard, 20 people are dead and many have lost their homes. It’s so sad. This all happened just an hour or two north of where I live and many are still trapped. Thoughts and prayers would be appreciated.

Now on to some good news. I have quite a few layouts to share for this week. So many amazing kits and collections on sale!

All the crazies…

I am not even going to look back to see how long it’s been since I posted! It’s been so incredibly crazy around here with baseball, end of the school year, graduations, dance recitals…you name it, we’ve done it. All while trying to finalize everything at work for the year so I can actually start summer break. Tomorrow is our last official day, and I am soooo ready for some down time.

I just finished updating My Scrap Pages and I won’t post all of them here, but you are welcome to go check them out if you’d like. Here are the most recent ones and the ones from all my fabulous designers that you can still catch on sale this weekend 🙂

It’s supposed to rain all day today, so I am hoping to get caught up on a few things and just have some quiet time. I am not stressing the housework this weekend, since next week, I will have all the time in the world 🙂 Where ever you are, I hope you enjoy your Sunday!! Peace, out…

Crazy Days…

The countdown is on and I am feeling it! Too much to do and too little time. Come June 6, I am going to crash! Even my scrapping has taken a hit and it’s not looking too promising for the next week or so. In addition to work crazy, we have 3 baseball games this week.

I’m just dropping by so that I don’t get terribly behind in posting layouts. I don’t have much for this week, but the kits I did work with are awesome!!

Routine? What routine?

So, I was in a pretty good routine posting here, and then…hello baseball season! Oh, and the end of the year madness. I’m struggling to catch a breath these days, but here in a few weeks I will get to take a really big deep breath for the whole summer!

I’m just going to skip to the chase and post all the layouts I’ve done recently and hopefully get back on track this weekend! Some were done as CT layouts, and others as part of all the festivities for iNSD, which I didn’t get to really get in to as much as I would have liked.

Spring time and Saturdays…

I love them both! Especially together when the weather is really is as awesome as it was today. Things are starting to get back to normal around here after the last few weeks. It really was draining and exhausting. I all in for a little normalcy. Baseball practice has officially started and school work is getting crazy. It’s that time of year and I am so happy to have it here.

I wanted to take a minute to come by and share some new releases for this week while they are still on sale, and a couple of pages from earlier in the week that I didn’t get a chance to share. I’ll start with a couple of layouts that I did this past week. These are no longer on sale, but still gorgeous at their regular price!!

Another…

This has really been a rough couple of weeks for my family. I mentioned in my post last week that we just attended the funeral for one of my uncles, and then on Monday we got the news that another of my uncles had passed away. We’ll be attending his funeral tomorrow. They both led long full lives, but it is still so hard to let go and say good-bye. I have no doubt that those two and my dad are filling Heaven with some serious laughter!! Oh my, the stories those boys could tell. All of us could sit and listen to them for hours! I need to take some time at some point to tell some of their stories.

I guess that goes back again to why I take time to scrapbook. To tell the stories, even if it is only with pictures sometimes. I’m not the best journaler, but I am trying! I am thankful to find a little down time tonight to come by and share new layouts with my designers amazing new products for this week!

At The Lilypad, Etc. by Danyale has a new chapter in her Lifetime Stories series. I used the original in this layout as well and everything works so beautifully together.

I’m off to get some things put in my planner, totally behind on updating it! Hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend!! Peace, out…

Ahhh Saturday!

And I am spending it sick! Of course, the first weekend I have free in months and I feel like crap. I hadn’t really planned on doing anything anyway, but not feeling like doing anything is different somehow. Basketball ended last Monday, and C’s team won 1st place in the tournament! Now we have about a month off until baseball starts up and we are on the road again!

Swinging by today because of the awesomeness that is going on this weekend. First of all, it’s BYOC at The Lilypad! Omgosh, I am so in love with everything!! Here are some pages I did, and I will have more to come soon!

Happy Valentine’s Day

We don’t do much to celebrate around here. I usually pick up a little candy for the kids and that’s about it. I’ve never been a big fan. I guess it’s fun for some and can be a special day, but it seems kind of forced to me. I don’t like cut flowers from the florist and my husband knows that if he comes home with them, I will probably fuss about the waste of money hahaha. To me, it is more special to get a rose from the convenience store on a random Tuesday than a dozen on a day you are “supposed” to do it. But I digress. I didn’t come here today to dump on Valentine’s Day. If you love it, celebrate it…if you don’t, celebrate something else about today.

I’m really here to share all the fabulous new releases in the digi-world! I’m telling you, these designers blow me away every single week! I have some pages from earlier in the week that I didn’t get here to share
