A Busy Life

Olivia keeps me busy by making messes wherever and whenever so that I can clean up! She is at a stage right now where she likes to take everything (and I mean everything) out of a drawer, cupboard, etc and just throw it!

And here is Ella - keeping me busy by looking after that hair! We used the straightener on it and now it looks like she is 3 going on 9! Not sure if I like the looks of this! Stay 3 forever - it's a fun age.

Now that I am back at work I am VERY busy keeping up with everything! Trying to keep this hectic life somewhat sane!

Happy Spring!

New Layouts

Since I have self proclaimed this a scrapbook blog, it would probably help if I would post layouts. My sister took these family photos of us in the fall - she is not a professional and I am not really sure why she doesn't start this as a business, but that is for another day. We are all huge Johnny Cash fans and this is our ode to him, as we are all wearing Johnny Cash t-shirts. Even Olivia is wearing a Johnny Cash onesie! I trying to finish scrapbooking the many pictures she took of us.
Enjoy!



We had tried doing our family pictures earlier at a little church just out of town, but we had a "tombstone incident", so we did them at an old church on Ave E North.

Holy Blog Batman

So excited! I actually have a follower! Does this mean I have to blog more? I will try really hard to make this blog worth following, I promise!! For now here are pictures of my little gals.

All In A Day's Work

So I was cleaning my house and a light bulb went off - since we don't have our 4th level complete which will hopefully one day soon will be a playroom - I decided since we spend most of our day upstairs in the kitchen and living room that I would paint the back of my cupboards with magnetic and chalkboard paint. It was really easy and only took me a day. Hopefully one day soon we will also be getting rid of these cupboards as well (since they are only 30 years old)! This is the before picture:

And this is the after. Please let me know what you think. It is not quite complete. I have to install the rods I purchased from Ikea - one for a roll of paper and the other with containers on it to hold chalk, crayons and what not!

Project 365

Here is my version of the project that is taking the scrapbook world by storm! I scraplifted a digital version of it from 2 peas. Once I got a template down and organized - it is easy, I just add my pictures every week! I plan on giving it to my husband for Xmas.

Keep blogging!!

So I started this blog to show my scrapbooking and arts and craft creations and so far out of the few posts, I have done none. I guess I will make this my belated new year's resolution to post more often and my creations. I always look forward to other blogs in order to get inspiration!
Take care,
Tara
