late, late, late
*eta: playing with the format of the blog – sorry if it’s confusing while i switch back and forth I am so far behind on photos. And layouts. And generally everything in my life. And looking at this photo from last weekend reminds me how much I want this little baby. Sigh. I’m going to… Read more

overheard
things overheard around our house: "Where’s the phone?" "Emily’s on it." "No, Daddy, you’re too ugly." (part of a joke between the boys) "Emily, where’s the remote?" (said by all of us) "OWWWWWW – Andrew get off me!" (said by all of us) "Mom, when will I be old enough for sleepovers?" (said by Elizabeth)… Read more

Inspiration
Four years ago yesterday, a friend dragged me to a Creative Memories crop. I took a pile of pictures with me and really thought I would make a cute little brag book for my daughter and that would be it. I was there to make friends and that was my only goal. Four hours and… Read more

hanging on
This week is going to go down as one of the hardest weeks of our lives. We’re hanging on, but barely. Em’s not managing very well and is struggling to hold it together every waking moment. We’ve shed more tears than I thought possible. And so have the teachers, the parents, and the other students.… Read more

Inspired by Ideabooks
I have been so inspired by Ideabooks, lately. Of course, Jessica’s new book got me started – it is sooooo cool and I think it will inspire everyone who reads it. And then I pulled out Ali’s latest book and remembered why I loved her work so much – there’s something about her process that… Read more

Leaving on a jet plane….
Okay, no. I’m totally not! LOL!! But that song gets stuck in my head every single time I get ready to go a trip. This trip will be less than 24 hours, but fun! I will be spending Friday night with the Fabulous Miss Wendy and then spending Saturday TA’ing for the Amazing Jessica Sprague… Read more

Breathing easier now.
I hadn’t scrapbooked purely for myself since early December. I had done a lot of layouts, but they were all for design team requirements and, as much as I love my teams, there are still some requirements to be met. And no matter what, I always feel better when I get some time to create… Read more
