Sporty girl!

HI! I'm leaving for a youth retreat this weekend, and will miss my daughter's first little league game, as well as T ball pictures. I decided to take some of my own today! I like that I can always capture her REAL smile, something professional photographers don't always do because they think her "cheese" smile will pacify me. I'm a proud momma! My girl was chosen as one of her cyber school's student of the month this month, an honor you don't usually see given to kindergarteners. School is winding down! Maybe then I'll have time to scrapbook again!

Scrap Happy!

We are all unique

I took this picture on Easter Day. I wanted a picture of her looking at this glass trinket because it means a lot to me. I loved to look at it when I went to my Great-Aunt's, and one day, she gave it to me! I only bring it out at Easter now. This picture won't be going into her album, but I do like it. It tells a lot about my daughter. How silly she is for one! Can you tell she's smiling? Her smile reaches her eyes. The other thing is the stickers all over her hands! She just does that! The "bracelet" was a set of beads we found for sale. They had them at the craft store in the beading section. They have them on clear bands all grouped together. Her wrists are so tiny, that it fit her! So, she wears it as a bracelet!

Here's what's going on in my life, as far as scrapbooking goes! I did finally get started on my vacation in December, but I just keep stalling out. I have everything laid out on the table downstairs in the basement, ready to go. My husband is working on a project for our kitchen, so he has started to bring items in for that and lay them on the table right next to my pictures. So, now they have wood dust all over them. I have to move my scrapbooking area for now. I have brought a table up to the office on the 3rd floor, and now I just need to move my supplies up here. The only problem with scrapping up here is that it's right next to my daughter's room and I may keep her up. Yes, she's an only child and not used to a lot of noise when she sleeps! But I need to have a place to work, a place where I can lay everything out and leave it out until I get caught up! My goal is to be caught up by June. By then, I'll have pictures from my daughter's birthday party that will need scrapped, so I won't be comepletely out of things to scrapbook, don't worry! Not with the amount of pictures I take!

Scrap Happy!

Spring Soccer!

My daughter isn't playing soccer, but it seems like everyone else is! So, I thought that I'd include a page I did for someone else's album, just to give soccer moms a page idea. An idea that everyone can use is on this page as well. Do you notice the picture in the upper left hand corner? It is behind the soccer ball, which would make the soccer ball look like it was closer than the rest of the page, if I hadn't laid a few pictures on top of it. Space was an issue here, as I tried to fit 7 pictures onto the page. I also did another page titled, "Soccer Stars" and used black stars to decorate it.

I'm sorry that I was so late with this week's blog, and it is hardly worth it, I know. I have just been spending very little time at the computer lately. It's amazing how much you can accomplish when you cut out your daily computer time!
