On a roll…

 

It’s official!

I have officially created more layouts in the first two weeks of 2011 than I did in all of 2010 – and maybe 2009 as well.  I am not sure what has spurred me into action, but I’ll take it!

Here is a layout of my parents that I finished yesterday.  I love these pictures of them.  My dad is actually smiling, and I adore the look my mom is giving him in the bottom picture.

Snow Day

I was planning an afternoon of scrapping this afternoon, but it was not meant to be.  It began snowing in the morning and hasn’t stopped. They released school 2 hours early, and cancelled pre-school.  So my afternoon was spent listening to the shrieking that comes when my kids play Wii and making cookies. 

I did do this layout this past weekend.  It is the first 2 pager I have done in several years. 

A New Year

I am trying to do a little bit less scrapbook shopping and a little more actual scrapping in this new year.  I’ve actually completed 3 layouts in the past couple of days.  That has got to be some kind of record.  I had been hearing a lot about the series of sketch books, “Sketches for Scrapbooking”.  I picked one up the other day, and I really like it. It has helped me with my indecisiveness. 

This first layout if 2010 at a glance.  Of course, we had to start out with Katy for January, since it is her birthday month.  She will be 8 tomorrow. 

So, I’m now closer to 41 than 40.  But better late than never, right?  I am wearing the infamous “39 forever” t-shirt in the picture on the right.  Grace took the picture of me on the left!  She got her own camera for Christmas, so maybe we will see some more pictures from the budding shutterbug.

Here are some pictures of Grace and her favorite cousin, Gigi. They are like two princess peas in a pod!
