Piper in Fairy WIngs

Well, I've been on a roll today bu I think it's time to take a break. I scraped a few more pages of Piper in the fairy wings. Next I'll work on the other two girls...but at least I'm making progress. It feels good to get some pages done and it's way faster than doing it with paper. It only took me about 30 minuets to get these pages done. I use Microsoft publisher and it goes pretty quick once you know how to use the program.

Starting to scrap again

I just finished all these fairy wings for Girls Camp that I didn't have to go to this year because of bed rest...there are blessings in difficulty! Anyway, I really need to get back into scrapbooking again so this is my first page in awhile. I just can't let these pics go by the wayside. They're too cute!

 

 

 

 

GET READY PEOPLE

Um just so you know.....now that today is July 4th, soon to be over in roughly 9 hours, I thought I would remind you that there are only 173 days until Christmas. The time is short and will pass quickly. I know that means I need to start decorating right now because I have a problem getting things up in a timely fashion and also getting them put away before the next holiday. Not to mention that I'm pregnant and will need extra time to move (or roll) this short little plump body around. So wish me luck as I too am wishing all of you the same for this coming season! I'm also looking forward to "The Road Rally" for Halloween this year. Very excited and fun times ahead!

Need I say more?

I think this pretty much sums up the way I feel about all the "CHANGE" Obama has promised...

It's True

Well it's true people, yes I'm pregnant with our 5th baby. I'm due the end of January which means I'll probably have it a few weeks early as usual. My short little body can't take all that cramming for a full 40 weeks. I'm good to go around 37-38 weeks. I've had a little trouble with some bleeding and cramping but so far it looks like this baby is going to stick. I just have to take it easy...with 4 other kids...that's going well! I sure did fatten up in a hurry, as soon as I found out I was pregnant my body remembered EXACTLY what to do....look way more pregnant than I actually am. That's been fun to have people look at me and wonder why I've let myself go.... Anyway, I'm hoping to be better at blogging and get caught up on some of my scrapbooking stuff. Melissa is coming out with Manhattan and Marin and I'm hoping to have a few days of digital scrapbook sessions. She'll be able to keep me on task. I really need that right now.

And the time went....where?

So...apparently I've done the "classic" ADD thing and neglected to maintain yet another thing. How I wish I could keep a handle on my spinning head. Even though medication helps...I'm still me and I think that's the foundation of my problem. I'm my own worst enemy. So I guess in the past month things have come and gone. Valentines was just another day. I was too busy working on a presentation for girls camp to enjoy or do anything on the designated "LOVE" day. Nephi turned 33 on the 20th. We just had a quiet night at home and watched a movie. Christmas finally got put away just in time for February to be over. Easter is just around the corner and I'm suffering from anxiety at the never ending list of 'To Do's". Most things I think are pretty simple for most people but for some reason it's all very overwhelming to me. SOOO, maybe I can figure it out by the time Christmas rolls around again. I think I need to advertise for a "Task Buddy" to keep me focused on what needs to be done. Anyone want a job?

Two More scrap pages

I need to change a few little things but they're done for now and I'm happy. I'm getting faster at it. Part of the problem is remembering all the different functions to get the embellishments just right. I don't have any page templates so I'm just messing around. It's so much fun but terribly addicting! I must be off to bed now.

Yes I'm still here!

Ok so I've continued to be quite neglectful with my blogging updates. I am however still somewhat alive and would really like to sit and play around on the computer all day. The problem is that I have other things I'm suppose to do like feed the kids, shower, take kids to school etc. Do I dare admit that Christmas is still up...like I said a month ago...I'm ahead of the Christmas crowd in '09! YES!!! Good for me. One thing I would like to share are my very first digital scrapbook pages. I did them about 21/2 weeks ago but I've just never posted them. It was fun to do and I think I'm getting it all figured out. I actually use Microsoft publisher to do the pages instead of scrapbook flair. I can manipulate everything better on the page. We had so much fun in the snow that day. It was cold but we all had a great time. We went again the next weekend. I still have to scrap those pages...
