This week at the Mother LOAD we were working on using products that we really like. Many of us apparently horde the products that we love. I do not have that problem. I buy 2, 3, 5 copies of things I love. That way I’ve got another when I’m ready to use it again. How I got started with this LO was… I first decided that I was going to do a Christmas LO. I love Christmas, and have quite the Christmas stash. Then I picked my newest … [Read more...]

My scrapping process
Last night I got home and made a bird house out of a shoe box and a pencil for Sean. He has a parrot toy that can go on his wrist, and he was convinced that he needed a house for the bird. He wanted something made of wood. I thought, there is your new shoe box. It’s the perfect size for a bird to sleep in. I used my exacto knife to make a window, then poked holes into the sides with my crop-o-dile. I stuck the pencils through the holes, and there you … [Read more...]
Make Me a CAPE Mom
With all that is going on in the house right now, one would think I wouldn’t have time to make a LO. Lucky me has the Mother Load over at Big Picture Classes, and assignments to do. So, I was supposed to use old stuff. I didn’t. Most of this is from my last Studio Calico kit. So, I loved those pictures I took of Sean in his new cape I made him, so that is what I went with. I also bought him some super hero pajamas, which he loves. He really wants … [Read more...]
A Batman cape!
Sean asked me for a Batman cape yesterday. He went wondering around, looking for cape, asking Nana to help him.

So, after dinner, we drove over to Beverley’s and bought some pretty blue fabric, then some yellow fabric to line the cape with. I also bought some thread and bias tape to help complete the cape. So, easy peasy mac and cheesey. materials: 1 1/4 yards of … [Read more...]
The Mother LOAD
I’ve been a bit behind on my Mother LOAD at BPC. I still need to take a picture of my scrap space, but I’ve completed the first assignment… Create a LO of why you scrap. Honestly, I scrap because I want to remember everything about Sean. I’m just starting to remember stories about myself and my family. But, I want to remember these little things, and hopefully help Sean remember. As always Lain gives a great challenge. This is a memory … [Read more...]
Back home.
It never seems like we are gone long enough. Lately we have been taking mini breaks. A long weekend here, 5 days off there. Never a week at the same time. I so need a week. This time it was 4 days, 3 days at Disneyland and 1 day at home, just being at home. Sean really seems to need that. The skinny on the trip… 3 times on Star Tours. 2 times on Little Mermaid. 3 times on Astro Blasters. 1 time: It’s A Small World, Autopia, … [Read more...]
