been working

I've been working long and hard on my countdown to chirstmas book and I'm really liking the way it's turning out I really must post some pictures. I am so glad I followed Ali on this venture It really looks like its going to be a book to be proud of in the years to come. I can't wait to start putting pictures and journaling it is going to be a great book.

been a while

havent been here in a while, been very busy scrapping and other things, well first off I have decided to join Ali Edwards in her December Daily challange I have to make or find a album that will have at least 25 pages or more number them all 1 - 25 and wait for december to roll around, when it dose I will post a picture and journaling for every day in December, that should be one pretty mean book

This is Ali Edwards book for 2008 its suppose to be about texture, telling your christmas 2008 story about being there in the moment and being able to document the here and now when it happens. If I can keep up this will be a very special book for my family. Wish me luck I'm gonna work one it once I get from under this dryer.

Used my new system

I finished a new book tonight and I am very proud, I gashed a big hole in my finger trying to open some glue so I could fix my liquid chalk so I could finish this book but I finally finished it and I'm very proud, its called pieces of home just some pictures and journaling about the bits and pieces of my house that make it my home.

page one and two tell about the bookand it goes on about my little things but the point I was trying to make is that when I decided to make this book it was just a thought and I looked into my little file of all about me pictures and pull the pictures that I wanted to use right out, it was so easy I didnt spend three weeks looking for the pictures and loose intrest after a week, I pulled them out and took pictures of what I didnt have that I wanted and bam here is the book I'm so proud.

did a couple of layouts to and they were easy to just looked throu my photo albums and pulled out the pages and wham put the pages together (I must say I scrap lifted them from Becky's 2nd book) that was easy too I love those books.

this is the second page I will stich them together one day to tired tonight but I really did want to post them. o.k I will post some more tomorrow. good night for now

GREAT WOLF LODGE

Well we went and ohhhhh what a place it was, I loved it I have never seen anything like it an indoor water park, spa, game room, it was all so nice I would like to go here every year I must start saving my money now.

our room was on the fourth floor, and a long walk away from the water park (note to self next year make sure you get a room a little closer to the water park) but that aside the room was just what I saw on line when I made my reservations. I loved the balcony I spent a lot of time out there just watching things move around me

I have never seen a indoor water park before this was turly amazing ther was water spriting out of every open hole a big bucket that filled up and dumped water on any one that was standing there, if your not here to get wet this is not the place to be.

this is the spa and I treated myself and my oldest daughter to a massage, our first and oh it felt sooooo good this is something I have to treat myself more often I just felt so good so relaxed everyone should have at least one in their lifetime.

the girls loved the water they stayed in there as long as they could, every day we were there I had to pry them out the water to eat

all in all it was a beautful trip and I am gonna take another as soon as my money is right.

WHY

I just had to share this, here is my Ashley who crawled into the dogs kennell, Why I don't know sometimes I wonder about that child when she gets board.

more cards

this is another card I made with this paper and another one of mish sketches I really love this paper I will be making more cards with this paper, well needless to say after I started turning out these cards everybody wanted to make cards to and so we were off into mother's day card making land and had a good time at it.



with this card I decided to give myself permission to use paper that I purchased back in October of 07 because it was so cute and I just couldnt bring myself to use it but once I started on the cards I just wanted to use all the pretty paper I had, on this on I used my new cupcake stamps, oh I am in love with these stamps, thanks again Mish I cant wait to see what cards and things I will turn out with these stamps.

Now say hello to my mojo, yes it is back and kicking up dust every where, this is the cover page to my all about us album I am so proud of it, now I am working on the divider pages for each of us here is the one for Ashley,

I have decided to make all the divider pages pink because when I have to remove the pages into their own books they will be pink, I have already done so many pages on Ashley that her section is almost full wow I had no idea that I had done so many pages until I started to fill up the books I just love this system IT ROCKS THANKS STACY. Well I gonna go for now until my next post
