I think . . .

my scrapping mojo is back thanks to my 3 bestest scrapping buds!!

Tracy, Mimi, Mary and her daughter and I got together on Friday night for a scrapping night. Get this, we all actually scrapbooked! Usually we bring our stuff and just eat and talk and laugh the whole night! Not this time!! We each got about 2 pages done and boy did it feel good!!

I just finished my layouts now and would love to share them but I'm saving them for a Memory Makers issue. I am still going strong with my goal of having at least one layout in each issue for 2009! I just had one picked up last week! Go me!

I will share this one. I did this back in October when I was trying to find my groove (not so successfully, though!). I just love this picture of Macy that I took when we all went to a fall fest. Very simple, just a Radiant Rain spray background!


I go pick up my new laptop tomorrow. A few weeks ago, I was surfing on my old laptop, picked up my coffee mug and the stupid handle busted off!! Yep, coffee all over my laptop, and me but I wasn't concerned about me! So, we all mosied on over to Best Buy and put the extended service plan to work again! They had to send it out for repair. Well, they called last week and heard back that it would cost $2000 to repair, so they were giving me a new one. Jack and I went over and picked one out. I'll be getting an HP this time instead of a Sony Vaio, they were clearancing out the Sony's. The great thing is that the new one will be about double the storage size of the old one, yay! That's one good thing about computers being upgraded all the time! The old one had the max amount of storage on it when I bought it less than 2 years ago and now it's hard to find one of that size!! Can't wait to get it and get everything reloaded!! Getting email contacts organized again is such a pain!

Hope everyone is having a nice week!! We are supposed to get winter weather tonight and tomorrow.

That's such a beautiful picture of Macy... so pensive and grown up looking!

And yay for the new computer! It's like a whole new world when you get to start over with a new one.

That's awesome that you're getting your scrapping mojo back! I'm looking forward to seeing your creations! That is a wonderful photo of Macy, but then she's a beautiful girl anyway you look at it. Enjoy your new computer--sounds like a nice one.
