altering mood...

i did this last night. it's a $1.00 shadow frame from the Dollar Tree strore that i've had for awhile. i love the photo of my kiddos and thought this would be perfect for displaying it.

this is where i create

i am not done but i have reorganized my scrap space enough to share a photo or two. i still need to label drawers, organize ribbon and hanging embellishments yet. i am feeling a bit inspired today though.

busy Saturday!

mostly unplanned but still busy. it was a good day. beautiful weather, no demands, etc. we visited our bank which was having a customer appreciation day and the kiddos got to pet animals, play games, and check out the local fire truck. Brody received a fireman's hat and loved it! when we returned home we matched his hat with the truck he had received at Daddy's work picnic awhile back.

we visited the inlaws and stayed for a yummy dinner. came home, walked through our park (across the street) and ended the day with some ice cream.

hope you are enjoying your weekend!

are you up for a Cyber Crop?

come over to ICS and join in a weekend of scrapping challenges and prizes!

TGIF! i'm looking forward to chilling this weekend. no big plans....no deadlines of any kind. hopefully i can scrap and enjoy the outside with my kiddos too. hubby needs to be building me some shelves.

have a memorable weekend!!!

no interesting entry

i'm updating my blog but i don't have much to report...lol i have started a layout and i'm just not feeling the papers i have used so i might take it apart. i want to start scrapping fall photographs. i never thought i was a seasonal scrapper but i think i am! i couldn't scrap my winter pages during the summer so i have a few that i will work on when the weather gets a little cooler. go figure. lol

9.11.01

i strongly feel the need to post about this date today. yes, it's the 5th anniversary of this horrible tragedy. as i watched this morning's memorial service televised on tv from NY, i shed a few tears. i was not directly affected by this happening. i guess i was lucky?!? i caught a program last night about the children that were left without parent/s. i can't imagine how their lives will unfold from this. i can't help but wonder today just how many feel that we might be attacked again...somewhere....somehow....today maybe??? i strongly believe that things happen for a reason...i don't always know what that reason is...but i still believe. i know that's why i think about everything-all-the-time. i have headaches often. i still wonder what my purpose is in life. do you?

sweatshirt weather

ahhh, i LOVE this time of year! i'm so inspired to scrap. i'm eager to go outside everyday. i'm taking photos constantly now. would you believe there was about 3 weeks that i didn't take any photos??? this is an absolute first for me since about 3 years ago. what a rut i was in. NO MORE! i'm enjoying the moments again.

scrappy hugs!
