Little Girl Dreams? What is better than that? You know, there was never anything I wanted more in my life than to be married and have children. Seriously. That is all I ever really wanted. I’ve been chasing it my entire life. Seriously. Ask any one of the men I dated in the past. The Rocker used to tell me that I didn’t care who I was married to, I just wanted to be married. Well… When push came to shove, I did care … [Read more...]
LOAD, Day 3, 4 & 5
February 6, 2012 by Leave a Comment
Really, I’ve missed 3 days? It seems crazy. But true. I cropped on Saturday and Sunday. It’s been busy. Day 3: Who I am now: Wow… I got the challenge and I started looking at old pictures. I found one my my sister and I. I decided to do it. To just mention how I feel. This is how I feel. That’s it. Day 4: How things change: Yeah! Happier subject. Great pictures of Sean at Disneyland in the same … [Read more...]
LOAD, Day 2
February 3, 2012 by Leave a Comment
My favorite picture. Hmm. I have so many. I really do. They are all of Sean and John. But I decided to go with one of them sledding last year in Tahoe. John was unemployed, we went to Disneyland, we went to Tahoe. We spent money. We had such a good time. I was so happy to have my boys in a “vacation” type mode. Knowing that John would be working shortly… And life would go back to normal. Ugg. So, I picked … [Read more...]
LOAD, Day 1
February 2, 2012 by Leave a Comment
The prompt for today focused on food. Wouldn’t you know it? I have been working on an Easter LO with the left overs from my design team box for, oh well, a week or so. I had put it away, figuring that I would finish it up after LOAD. HA. Once again, Lain and I are thinking about the same thing at the same time. I had pictures of Sean eating a peanut butter egg. PERFECT! By 9pm I was done with my LO, and I was ready for the next … [Read more...]
Why I LOAD
January 25, 2012 by Leave a Comment
It’s January 25, one week from today LOAD starts. When I first tried LOAD last year, last February to be exact, I was scared. I was sure that creating 28 layouts was well outside of my ability. I was full of doubts and honestly… I was so EXCITED. I so wanted a new challenge. I wanted to feel like all these papers, embellishments and tools weren’t just sitting around my desk gathering dust. Which they do, sometimes. How thrilled … [Read more...]
Pay Up

This weeks challenge was to do a LO in 30 minutes. I so missed the mark. I mean really, even knowing exactly what I wanted to use after picking out the photo, I still preened the hell out of it. I couldn’t decide what color letters I wanted to use. Then I decided that I needed to use the washi tape. Then I decided that I needed a car. Then I decided that it needed brads… The list goes on and on. Let me just say that I am not a 30 minute LO … [Read more...]
Mom wants that SHOT!
July 28, 2011 by 1 Comment
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
July 19, 2011 by Leave a Comment
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
July 14, 2011 by Leave a Comment
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...]
The Mother LOAD
July 7, 2011 by Leave a Comment
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...]
