A little scrapping burst!!

We got back from Chattanooga on August 14th. I took about 1300 pictures from there, add that to all the pictures I took on the previous trips and that's a lot of pics! After a trip to Scraptacular and a bunch of new product, those pictures were just begging to be scrapbooked!! I sat down and did about 6 layouts in 3 days! Here's some of what I did!

Thanks for looking!

Wow!!

I knew it was a long time since I blogged, but didn't realize that it's been over 3 months!

We've been so busy with summer vacations that time has just gotten away from me! We've been doing our monthly camping trips including a week long trip to the 1000 Islands in NY. In less than 2 weeks we are heading to Chattanooga, TN to camp for a week with college friends and their kids!! It is going to be a BLAST!! We can't wait!!

Needless to say, I haven't been scrapbooking much, but the last few days I've got a little scrapping bug! I did some layouts for Scrapbook News and Review (link in side bar) and some for me.

I'll attach my latest. Macy got a gift certificate for an etiquette tea from my Grandmother. We went on July 2nd and she took her 2 BFF's and their moms with her! We had a really fun time. We all got to dress up, learned proper etiquette and had some tea, hot cocoa and desserts. The girls loved it!! This picture is of her in her attire. As part of her birthday gift, she got to keep the dress she picked out.

A few layouts

I haven't scrapbooked lately, we've been enjoying some wonderful spring weather instead, along with all the indoor and outdoor cleanup that goes along with spring!

I did come across these layouts that I don't think I ever posted though!

Hope everyone is doing well!!

Some new ones!

Here are a few of my latest layouts. I went to a crop with some of my best gal pals at Scraptacular last weekend which gave me a jolt of creativity!! It was a blast!

2009 camping season has begun!!

We headed out on Friday to Elk Neck State Park in MD to kick off the 2009 camping season!! We planned on going to Point Lookout in MD, but the weather forecast for that area quickly turned to rain/snow! So, we switched our reservations to Elk Neck instead. We were there back in October and always said we'd love to go back to explore the town of North East more. We got to do that this time around and had a really great time!!

The campground was full with the exception of maybe 2 spots. Believe it or not, there were quite a few tent campers out! The weather was nice. A bit chilly at times, but rain held off until the nighttime. We did lots of hiking, biking, lounging and exploring! It was a nice relaxing weekend!! There is nothing better than getting out having some great quality family time together!! We got home this afternoon. We can't wait to get out next month!!

Here are some pictures from the weekend!!

A few more

Of course my mojo is returning, I need to clear out my scraproom! I'm giving Macy the bigger room, so I've had the daunting task of clearing out. It's going to take a lot longer than I thought! I've got SO much stuff!!

Here are a few new ones I did. I actually did 3 layouts in 2 days! Go me!!

The pics of Jack are from Mother's Day last year when we went to Daniel Boone homestead. The other layout is from our camping trip to Elk Neck State Park, MD last October.

Thanks for looking!

Snow day!!

Today was a snow day. We got probably 4 inches or so, it's hard to measure because the wind is really blowing and making drifts.

It was nice sleeping in and just taking it easy. We had a great time playing outside with the kids. The neighbors came over to play as well. No pictures though!

We are going on the first camping trip of the season in less than 2 weeks, hopefully it'll warm up some and no snow!!

I was able to quickly sneak in a layout today. It took me about a half hour. The kids absolutely love this monster puppet!! They fell in love with it at Target, so we got Jack one for Valentine's Day. Macy got a sock monkey. Each night, this monster tucks in the kids. Chris does the best voice for it! For some reason, the kids love bonking him over the head, the monster, not Chris!

I used some of the new Jillibean Soup papers on here, along with October Afternoon and Daisy Bucket. Fun stuff!


I also did this one quickly, a few days ago.

I just LOVE this orange Pink Paislee paper!!
