what a crazy couple of days! i have been working esp hard these days getting some things ready for a Dt supbmission and I am not sure what I am thinking but I think I should go for it! But it is really hard to keep it all together while I am applying for jobs as well. I def. couldnt' do it if I was working full time.

went shopping yesterday, malls are crazy and so are the people. I love giving or I wouldn't put myself through it. Next year I need to make more things myself to give!

bought the new energy saving light bulbs though and I think it is important. If we would all just replace a few bulbs we could make such a difference in the CO2 output we create. My husband thinks I am nuts, esp when I pick things out of the garbage to recycle etc but I think it is necessary. We would really like to have a green car of some kind but they are just not affordable enough yet for us. We need to plant 3 trees next year to help get to our goal of zero CO2 for this house but I think we can do it. When I think of what a pain in the butt it is, I think about our son and what the world is going to be like for him when we are no longer here.

gonna post one of my fav pics in the whole world...our little man upside down. luv him! enjoy!!!

okay, so i don't make that many paper bag albums anymore but i made this one as a donation to a local charity. and in this one i made some of my own paper. i have been really trying to do more of this lately with paints etc.


this particular paper i took leaves from outside, maple leaves, pressed them and then used them as a stencil. i painted over one and spray painted the other with speckle paint. it was fun and i think it turned out pretty good!

my neighbors must of thought i was nuts b/c i did it outside in the driveway!?!!??!?

fun stuff.... and for a good cause!!!

what a morning...i couldn't get moving until 10 am and that was with lots of coffee!

so i am working on invites for a someone and of course i made them too complicated! they are for a friend so i wouldn't do anything less!

so i am loving red lately! i dont' know why i hve been working with it so much, its intensity, i guess. it really fits my son, he is a pretty intense little kid. his dad and i are pretty laid back, at least i think so i am not sure where it comes from! pushing boundaries too, man can that kid push some boundaries! but that he got from me!!!

i have been trying to incorporate my own painting in layouts too so we'll see how that goes!

oh ...p.s....get the new sarah mclaughlin holiday cd! it is really really really good!

okay so it officially begins! my blog. I have this account set up for some time now but today it starts.

i recently quit my job and i have some time now before i have to committ to full time employment again so i am going to make the best of it! i am also dedicating my time the art of scrapbooking. i love it and i want to start taking advantage of the opportunities out there for those of us who work so diligently in this area.

recently, i have really been working on taking better pics.....you can have the best layout but if you pic isn't so hot, what is the point. I saw a great title once...it said "even though the picture isn't clear, the memory is!" i wrote that one down b/c i have sooooo many pics that aren't worth sharing. digital has helped with this trememdously though but i have so much to learn about taking good pics.

speaking of that, my camera broke recently so i can't even do that...using my advantix right now, LOVELY! okay...time to run, i am sorting through some stuff to start posting to my gallery....

have fun with it!
