week1

The last album I scrapped and printed is from 2007. 2007! I simply can’t keep up and it bothers me.  Between family life and designing there isn’t much time left to create my own pages.

I don’t have a fancy Christmas tree all decked out in the latest styles. Instead I have a tree that is perfectly imperfect to me. Foam ornaments, vintage glass, popsicle sticks, souvenirs from trips, candy canes, and a footless gingerbread man with a bite taken out (cause he smelled too good not to eat!) all sit side by side [...] Read more »

Our Halloween

I hope all of your trick-or-treaters had a not too spooky night! We hit the streets with a myriad of football players, witches, and a scientist. We bumped into some clone troopers, knights, minons, and teen boys in drag – that’s one costume that never gets old…hehe. The weather was perfect and by 8:30 we [...] Read more »
