My Book

Ok, here is my take on the Teresa Collins book we will be making on March 7th. If you haven't signed up yet, please hurry because we are almost full! Drop me a note here, or send me a email!

Well, here goes. some of the pictures are kinda blurry, sorry about that, but you will still get the idea.

All pictures were made on the kodak picture maker thingy at walmart. I made the mini pictures, and some of them are from the a 4x6 that has nine pictures on it, some from the 4x6 that has 4, and some with 2 to a 4x6. I also made a couple 4x6 pictures too. i hope that made some sense. lol

Front of book. Picture is 1 1/4 by 2.


first and second page. first page Picture is 4 by 3 and the envelope opens up and show another 4x3 picture under flap. second page pictures are 2 x 2 3/4. second page is a file folder and opens up.

first page opened up.

inside of file folder, which is pages 3 and 4. any moment now i am gonna loose track of which page i am on. it's no biggie really! i'm gonna journal on the left side, the pictures on the right are 2 x 2 1/2.

pages 5 and 6. pictures on page 5 are 2 x 2 1/2. Page 6 opens up and pictures are 2 x 1 1/2.

page 6 opened up. Cool, huh!

pages 7 and 8. picture on page 7 is 2 1/2 x 2. there will be more pictures on this page, gotta get them printed off. page 8 pictures 2 x 2 1/4 and 2x2.

page 8 and 9. hummmm. what am i gonna do here?

page 10 and 11. page 10 I may journal. page 11 picture is a cut down 4x6.

page 12 and 13. hmmmm.

page 14 adn 15.

page 16 and 17

page 16 opened up. coooooool!

page 17 opened up

page 18 and 19.

Now for some reason, i think i'm missing a page or two. but not completely sure. but you got the jest of this mini book. isn't it the cutest!!! It's got the neatest tucks and slots that you can stuff stuff in. Ok, so go scour your pictures and find just the right ones, go to walmart and print you off some mini pictures!!! Don't blame me when you get addictted to these little sweetie's!!

remember, shoot me a email or leave me a comment if you have any questions. If you want to sign up, hurry, hurry, hurry!!!

The Other 2 Page Layout!

Ok, so here is the other layout. I'm not sure if it is done yet or not. It's in the 'set it aside and come back to it later and see if it needs something else' stage. I'll know later! lol but I wanted you to see this pretty paper. I think I said it before, but I really like this dreamstreet paper. looking at here on the internet, i think it needs something else. but i don't know what. hhhhmmmmm.

Wanna See a Sneak Peak?

Of the project we're gonna do on March 7th?? You are gonna love this book! It's a Teresa Collins book kit and it is sooooo cool. The kits will arrive at my house on monday and I can't wait to dig into it! We will have one complete on saturday at the 21st retreat. If you participated in the kit club and did the November kit, you know how awesome her kits are. They sell out from the distributors really fast, so i'm excited to get a limited supply of these!!! (I wanted to do her valentine book using crush, but it sold out!) This is also her brand new line from CHA09 winter. If you love her stuff as much as I do, check out her blog, Just click her name over on the right and it will take it right to her blog.













So are you as excited as I am? Well then, how about another RAK? This is totally different from yesterdays, so be sure to comment on both posts, double your chance!!!! again, I will pick randomaly (is that a word?)

As Promised!

Here is one of the 2 page layouts we will do at the retreat on February 21st . This paper was so much fun to work with! and it is much prettier in real life. The 4 black 3.5x3.5 pieces are for photos. the white space is where i'll put a 5x7 picture, unmatted. the frame with the ribbon tied to it is a making memory metal frame. There is still enough paper left over to make another page or 2, so you may get a added bonus page! we'll see! Sorry the pictures are not that good. the printer/scanner is still at the bottom of all the junk in my scrapbook room.

Just some photo's and a RAK!

We've been busy around here lately! Here is the baby's room. It used to be Amanda's room, then the junk room (since we don't have a basement). It was pretty full of junk and alot of scrapbook stuff that needs to find a place in my scrapbook room. But now it looks like this!


He got a new dresser from Grandma Delores





We found this cool rocker glider on sale at Kmart for, get this, 66 bucks and it is really nice! It glides really good, i was worried at first, you know the saying you get what you pay for. but so far it is great!

The bed we borrowed from Amanda (she found 2 she liked) and the all the vintage pooh stuff we got a deal on. I think it looks sooo sweet! oh and that's a bear in the corner that you can hear a heart beat. how cool is that!

And the beautiful changing table our friend the extremely talented Tim Holshouser built. This thing is so pretty an sturdy! Tim really out did himself, and we are tickled to have it! man we have some awesome friends!

The next 2 pictures are the closet. I'm in love with the closet! Mark found this cool organizer thing at a auction for ONE dollar and it is so neat! The baby's clothes fit so good in there. The green and blue tub things she got at her shower from sweet Lynden. We wanted more but couldn't find anymore around here and finally found more in st louis. They are from the dollar tree! aren't they the coolest! oh, and speaking of the dollar tree, we found a really nice one on LeeMay Ferry right off Lynberg. It was really big and very organized. I miss the one in Jackson!!

Now. This. Is. Disqusting. This is my scrapbook room. I really think you could call it the junk room now. :( Well that's what is in there anyway. So I started working on it last night. didn't get very far. but i will. I am in the mood to scrapbook! So how long do you think it will take me to get enough of it done where i can at least work at my desk????

So, I will give a nice RAK to the person who can guess the day i finally get into my room and can stand at my desk and actually find my scrapbooking tools. If there is more than one right answer, i will draw someone out of a hat. Unless there is only a couple, then you'll both get something. I can't tell you what it will be, because i can't get in there to decide what it will be! so. very. sad.

Exciting News!

Ok it has been way to long since i've done anything scrappy. It was way back at the beginning of december and i am so excited!!! We've been wanting to get a crop together for sooooo long, and we finally have! I am so excited to be getting to help with this. Here are the details:

now with all that said, we planned this thursday night. Markie had a OB appt friday morning and had a ultrasound before (unofficial, the quirks of working where i do) and the us said the baby was weighting 7lbs 9oz, and she is only 37 weeks. lol soooo he said if he continues to grow like he is he probally won't let her go to her due date, induce a week before. Well that is the 20th. soooo if she is in labor and i'm suppose to be teaching a class, well, lets just say i've made other arrangements, lol. Nikki will teach for me, she's nice like that! adn i really don't expect her to go that long. she gained 11 pounds in one week, so, well yeah. So hopefully Chunky Monkey (Dr Morton gave us a new name for him, since markie doesn't have one yet. lol) will be here soon! and then the real fun begins!
