These Are A Few of My Favorite Things

So last night "Modern Family", which is one of my very favorite t.v. shows, was a repeat! I was bummed but it did allow me to have a lot of time to read (another favorite thing)!

And today in the mail I got my April kit from My Scrapbook Nook! WOW!! (These kits really are my favorite!) Here are some photos of this month's kit:


It features Crate Paper's Storyteller line & it is packed full with papers, sticker sheets, brads, trim, chipboard....!! I was thrilled to open up this kit & dig through! Now to do a few more layouts with the March kit & break into April's!    

Here is the latest  layout I did (which features my favorite people):

I took a class back in November through a local crop taught by Nicole Samuels & learned how to make the chevron design on this layout. I love it & it is probably my favorite scrapping technique right now! (If anyone could tell me how to turn my photos I would be so very grateful!!)

Here is a snapshot of one of my favorite dogs (who happens to now weigh in at 116 pounds!!):

And now I am off to watch "Grey's Anatomy", another favorite t.v. show!!
Good night all!

Isn't She Lovely

Hi friends!
The latest layout I completed (yesterday) I did for a color challenge at My Scrapbook Nook. The challenge was to use the colors grey, yellow, blue & pink. The colors from the March kit fit this challenge perfectly!



Everything here is from MSN's March kit, mostly using My Mind's Eye's Miss Carloine collection.  The flower is from Petaloo & the blue tiny alphas are from October Afternoon.

These pictures were taken when Leah was almost 3 by a wonderful friend of mine who now lives out of state & I miss dearly!! It's so fun to look back & reminisce about when our little girl was still SO LITTLE! It really does not seem like  that long ago! Sigh.

I hope everyone has a good Wednesday night. I am so looking forward to watching "Modern Family"!

The Latest

Hi guys!
I know I have been neglecting this blog recently & I hope that with the days getting longer & I can soon remedy that!
I have been very busy around here, but unfortunately not scrapping!
I started keeping a neighbor's 4 month old baby about six weeks ago to help her out when she returned to work. Wow! I forgot how much time a baby takes! And as fun as it is to have a little one around, it has made Drew & me realize that we are done having babies!! (Especially since our youngest is 5 & pretty independent.)

I was able to complete a page yesterday for this month's MME blog challenge. The theme was "anything goes" & here is the sketch they provided:

This is may layout:


Everything here is from My Scrapbook Nook's March kit & I love it!! It features the My Mind's Eye "Miss Caroline" collection. Everything in this kit, from the papers to the rub-ons, is fabulous! I loved all the colors & butterflies. This one was right up my alley! The only products that are not from MME are the American Craft Thickers, the liquid pearls & the glitter dots.    The photo is from December when we decorated Christmas cookies at my sister's house. The kids had so much fun!!

Thanks for stopping by! Enjoy the rest of your Sunday!
