Life keeps comin' at ya!!

Yep, no matter what you do, and how much you wish it wouldn't, Life just keeps comin' at ya!! Thanks to the constant encouragement (um, nagging) of Rach, I am adding an entry. (You know I love you Rachel, and am sooo looking forward to this weekend!!)

First of all, March's kit is up at More Than Scrapbooking! It has mostly Autumn Leaves Rhonna Farrer French Twist stuff in it! Oooh La La!! Check it out!! http://www.morethanscrapbooking.com


Just a few of the things that are going on around here - first of all, we did some major rearranging of our house. I am a gypsy at heart, and could truthfully move to a different house/state every year, but my dear hubby loves to stay in one spot. Before this house, the longest that we were in a house was 5 1/2 years. In July, we will have been in our house for 8 years! That's a record! So, instead of us moving, we just moved a couple of bedrooms around. Our house is a rambler with a basement. On the main floor is 3 bedrooms, and in the basement, we have 3 bedrooms. It's been nice, because each child has their own bedroom, and I have a scrapbook room. Well, I had outgrown my sb room, especially with all the mailing boxes, and kit supplies from More Than Scrapbooking, so I decided to take over Devin's room in the basement. My sb room was the smallest bedroom in the house. Carly's room was right across the hall from the master bedroom, so we moved Carly into my sb room, and Devin into Carly's old room. Before we moved all of Devin's stuff into her new room, I painted it. Then we moved all of my stuff down to my new sb room, and boy do I have soooo much room down there!! Plus a nice sized walk-in closet that I can put my mailing boxes and kit supplies in! Here are the before and after pictures of Devin's room!




I am heading up to scrap the day away on Saturday with some wonderful friends (some I have met, some I haven't), and am sooo looking forward to it! These ladies have already won my heart, and I wish that we all lived closer to each other so that we could get together more often!! C'mon Saturday!!

Oh, for Valentine's day, my wonderful hubby, Willie, gave me a plane ticket to fly down to Arizona to scrapbook with my cousin/bff Jana. He is such a good guy!!

New Look!

I decided to update this blog! One reason why, is I added an ad from a favorite site of mine, Likenit.com! I have tried to make Sunday's a little different for my family, than every other day of the week. In theory, the kids are not playing video games, we don't play with friends, we don't watch regular TV or cartoons, go to the store, basically things that we can do every other day of the week. Well, one thing that I have found that helps, are these wonderful movies that Lightstone has made. These movies have singing, a lot of humor, great scriptural stories, and they really help to bring the proper Spirit to our Sabbath days. The kids even like them, and we all enjoy singing the great songs that are in them.

My awesome friend Jaime Lea (When I grow up, I want to be just like her), and her friend Rachel (whom I get to meet in March!!!) have great, inspiring blogs. I really need to learn to get my feelings and thoughts out as well as they do. You ladies truly are an inspiration to me!!



My parents sent me a picture of my Dad from when he was very young. In the picture, he is standing with some of his cousins. When I saw this picture, I know that I wanted to scrap it. So, I am including the page that I made with this picture. My layout is entitled "Mis Primos" or My Cousins. Love you Dad!! I'm soooo grateful for my wonderful Heritage!!


And lastly, can't forget More Than Scrapbooking!! We are having our first on-line crop (scrapbooking party) on Friday, February 1st, at 5 pm (Mountain Time) until Saturday, February 2nd, at 5 pm. A FUN 24-hour crop!! There will be lots of challenges, and of course PRIZES!!! Oh! posted is a picture of the February 2008 kit.

Catch up if you can...



Ok, I know that the title is supposed to say "Catch me if you can", but I think that I would be very easy to catch... I'm a little behind in life right now, but I've decided not to try to catch up with anyone, but just to stretch and do better each day.

We had great Holidays, basically good health, and we enjoyed being together as a family and playing with all of our new toys and games.

We found out yesterday that we will be having a new GRANDSON join our family sometime in May! We're excited to spoil the little booger!

Now, I am loving my new site! I am hoping that more people join the fun over there, and check out what a good job Paul Foote, of Rakan Design, did with More Than Scrapbooking! There are only a few more days to order the fabulous BoBunny Love album kit!! Hurry over!!
