Scrap Whispers Layout

Hello, Lovely People! My last Scrap Whispers round is over so I can now share this layout. It's the only one I've done in months due to school. I really need to figure out a way to include scrapping in my week since it is so grounding for me.

***If you want to play along at Scrap Whispers, the new round is starting soon. Just sign up by December 24th.***

Let's Say Thanks

Which Survivor I Am...

Which Survivor Castaway Are You?

More on Survivor. Created by BuddyTV

I just took this quiz over on BuddyTV. I am really enjoying this season of Survivor along with my friends at the Survivor Fans Podcast. However, after some exciting blind-sides, I think the rest of the season is going to be pretty predictable.

Halloween Pictures

Hello there! Mostly I have been busy with schoolwork and renovating my scrapbook room, so I haven't had much scrappy time. I have been playing Scrap Whispers, but I can't post that layout until the current contest is over.

In the meantime, here are some pictures from Halloween. We went trick or treating in the neighborhood, then took the kids over to my in-laws. There we had a tasty chili dinner and my MIL took the kids to the neighbor's house for more trick or treats. Then we went over to my friend Sara's and spent the rest of the evening in their wonderful company. Fortunately the kids' soccer games got rained out the next day, so Jerry and I spent the day painting. I should be able to post those pictures soon.

Exciting News for Jennifer Moon!

I am so excited for my sweet friend Jenn...she is getting her very first gallery show this weekend! Check out her blog for details. On Saturday you can meet with the photographers at Downtown Plaza. It has been amazing watching Jenn grow as an artist, she has a true gift and I am just thrilled for her...

As for me, I have not found any time to scrapbook or to even make cards lately. I feel kind of like I am on a speeding train and hanging on for dear life. I'm not stressed really, it just seems like there are never enough hours in a day. Maybe that's just what it's like being a grown up. My scraproom is a gigantic mess, but I have other pressing matters right now. I miss my scrappy time!

Miriam has now, in her words, "transformed into a Brownie." We had a lovely little ceremony for her troop last week. I must say she looks beautiful in brown! Miriam and I are having a blast in Girl Scouts, it is so well organized and teaches wonderful skills. We are fortunate to have a fabulous Troop Leader and a great group of girls and mommies as well.
