Sean asked me for a Batman cape yesterday. He went wondering around, looking for cape, asking Nana to help him. So, I suggested that we should go to the fabric store and buy the fabric to make a cape. Of course, Sean was ecstatic. 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

2011
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...]
The Epic Battle of Good Versus Evil

2011
Since we are going to Disneyland this weekend, I decided that I had better get a LO out before I left. I leave you with a LO from our trip to Disney in November 2010. We went for Uncle Stevies 40th birthday. We had dinner one night at the pizza place at Downtown Disney. The kids really wanted balloon hats. Uncle Stevie got one too… Chris said it should be “the epic battle of good versus evil” This is what he got. And he wore … [Read more...]

This is the first LO that I’ve done since May’s LOAD challenge. I’m always this way. I work really hard on LOAD, then I pass out for a month. I actually did this one last week, but I really do love how it turned out. It’s got some hidden journaling, some memorabilia from the trip, not much… But honestly, it is the story that matters most here. Andrea and I took Sean and Jack to Disneyland for Mickey’s Happy Halloween. For breakfast, I made reservations at Storytellers Cafe. Jack was … [Read more...]
A new card!

After finding that my scrap bag (and I’m pretty sure that that isn’t all) was thrown away by the cleaning people, I’ve been staying away from my crafting station. But after my class at Scrapbook Island with May Flaum, I had so many new supplies I decided that I needed to at least clean up. After a bit of cleaning, the scrap bag did not turn up (nor did the other bag that I think is missing). But, I looked through the kits that May gave us on Sunday and said, I should make a card for Susan … [Read more...]
scrapping this week…

2010
So, lucky me made some scrapping time this week. I’m beginning to get frustrated with myself because it’s taking me so long to make LO’s. I think I should be able to get 2 done in an evening. Nope. From 8 pm until almost 11, I’m working on one thing. Maybe it’s the television… Maybe it’s stopping to take a fudgecicle break… Maybe it’s talking to my husband rather than working. I don’t … [Read more...]
Breast Cancer Crop - Day 2

2010
Unfortunately, I missed day one of the Breast Cancer Crop at Scrapbook Island Saturday. Granted, I was driving 5 on the way back from an awesome evening trick or treating with Sean on Friday… But still, I was really looking forward to this crop. I got in about 11:10, and didn’t get started until almost 12… My first page, “Subway Ride”, I used the uber cool subway tape I bought on Etsy. I’ve been dying to use it since I bought it. … [Read more...]
Doubles Purge Swap!

2010
I’ve been reading on the CK Boards, and trying to be a part of the community. It’s hard, these women have know each other for a long time. But I did try a purge swap. Simply because I had doubles of things that I had no idea what to do with. So, I’m posting the images of what I was sent, what I sent, and the two layouts I created. I’m really bad at the brands of things, and I guess I’m going to have to get better at it… Or just not care and hope people can guess, if they like what I … [Read more...]
Weekly Gratitude

One of the people I’ve met since I started scrapping is Lori. She has started the Weekly Gratitude Project. I’ve decided to give it a try. It’s a weekly thing, and I think it might get me back to blogging. You never know. This months theme is “Work.” Hmm. Grateful for work. Hmm… “The theme for January is work. This applies to work of any kind. It can be a job you have. It can be all the work you do at home. Or raising your kids. Or a volunteer job. Or school. And if you don’t work at … [Read more...]
