1 more page

Last night I was able to work on my 6x6 acrylic album thanks to my husband. He watched the kids while I scrapbooked. Here is the finished page. Maybe I'll be able to get more than one page done in a night next time. This is not the best pic.

January Workshop

Here are the picks for the workshop I am doing tonight. I used the Workshops on the Go--Aspen packet. I changed the base pages for the alternate pages to deseret sand from bamboo. Hopefully I will be able to get pics on them soon. I am going to add some pictures of our trip to Island Park to the first set and our recent sledding activities to the second set.

Mark 1 off my list

This past Thursday I went to my grandmother's and she taught me how to crochet. So I have completed one month of my project resolution. Yesterday I put my knowledge to work and finished a headband.

Goals for 2009

I have been inspired by my dear friend Jena to make some scrapbooking goals for 2009.

1- My first goal is to finish 2 pages a week for a total of 104. I am so far behind on my scrapbooking that maybe this will put a dent in it.

2- As part of this goal I am going to add pictures to the 40+ pages I have finished that I made for workshops and never adorned with pictures.

3- I am going to finish one project a month--January is sewing Kaia a dress and learning to crochet. Check back to see what the projects are in the coming months.

4- Start selling homemade items.

Getting back to work!

Last night some of my family came over and we had a scrapbooking night. We had a lot of fun and got some scrapbooking done. I worked on some thank you cards for everyone that helped us in December. I used the Aspen paper pack, bamboo twill ribbon, chocolate cardstock, feathery flakes stamp set, and sparkles. Now I just need to get them in the mail.

I made the next card for a friend in Kansas. I do not know quite who to thank for the snowman idea, but it is not my original idea. I have seen it on many craft blogs.

I finally started the 6x6 acrylic album I bought about 3 months ago. I finished one page last night. I used rub-ons, liquid glass, dazzling die cuts, and the Good Times L2 paper pack. Stay tuned for the rest to come.

Let's Say Thanks

Please join with me and say thanks to our troops who are serving our country. Whether they are here or over seas they need to see we appreciate them. I am glad that there are men and women out there that are willing to risk their lives to fight for freedom.

Therapy!

Today both my kids laid down for naps at the same time and took 2 hour naps, thank goodness. After the weekend we had I really needed time to myself for my sanity. But I did it to myself, I should have known better. Friday night we went over to my cousins to play cards and the kids stayed up a wee too late. Needless to say Sissy was awnry and disagreeable all day Saturday and I was home alone with the kids. I was glad we all made it through the day. So today I got to making cards. I have two Boy Scouts turning 12 and leaving our pack in December and one that will be turning 11 and coming into our pack. So here is what I got done, I am not sure about the brads in the middle of the stars, but I poked one hole and could not waste the card.
