Yep I'm a bad blogger!

Hello, I know I am a bad blogger!! I had a busy week and weekend!! Went to a friends wedding that they put together fast, had supper out with a friend and his parents! We ran to the cities yesterday, went to church this morning and got to hear the kids sing for the first time in childrens choir!! SOOOOO CUTE!!!

First of all............did you check out Sketch This #31?? This is the layout I did for it!
Don't forget if you use a sketch for a layout to link to it so we can see! :)
After church I decided to scrap, the kids played outside for a bit. Nate watched the race/football and baseball so I had some time today while I was doing laundry!!
These are the layouts I got done:

Don't forget to check back for Sketch This 32 which will be up on Tuesday!!

I also know that a couple of you have tagged me.... I haven't forgotten like I said I've just been a bad blogger :( I will try to pop in on everyone tomorrow!

I'm 31 and I Scrapped!! :D

Well my birthday came and went (on Friday), I'm not sure how or why time flys by so fast. I remember like it was yesterday the day I turned 21! I had a great day with my mom and older sister Melissa shopping, having lunch and just hanging out. We got back to town and met Nate and the kids for supper, went home and opened another present from my mom and cuddled up the kids before we went out with some friends. That was fun, I was even dancing by the end of the night. Nate and the kids got me a movie and gave me some shopping money :D

Me my mom and sister at lunch:

The weekend flew by, but I did find some time for scrapping on Sunday and I was so happy about it! :) Seems like its been awhile since I just sat down and spent more then an hour or so being creative and on Sunday I scrapped pretty much all day! Here are my layouts I did:

There was a challenge at Scrapfreak to only use circles on a layout and I wanted to try with--this is what I came up with:

Both of these layouts (above and below) are inspired by some of Janelles sketches at Sketch This!! I was hitting a road block and went and looked through some sketches, love them!!

Thanks for stopping by, I hope you had a great weekend! :D

Sketch This #30

Here is my layout for Sketch This #30! I loved the sketch! (of course I love them all)I've had this Autumn Leaves flourishy paper for awhile and I've wanted to use it for so long! This picture is sooo cute but makes me so sad that Ciaara is a big girl now in all day Kindergarten!The Journaling reads: You are growing up to fast and I am having a hard time letting go.I need more time! I miss you now that you are in school all day.


This package came in the mail for me today!! My friend Shannon got all these for me and sent them my way!! :D I can't never find there around so she picks them up for me :D I was soooo excited!

Friday is my birthday, (argh turning 31!!!) my mom and sister are coming down to see me. We are headed to the cities for me to spend my birthday money!!

Thanks for stopping by! :)

For my neice.....

My neice Stephanie turns 10 on October 30!! I can't believe that, I remember sitting in the waiting room waiting for her to be born and holding her just minutes later. She is so sweet. I am sure I won't get to see her on her bday and we will be home next weekend for a wedding so I wanted to get this done for her now.

I left the pages blank for her to fill in and added some pictures for fun!!

Thanks for stopping by, Happy Monday!!

My first layout for SKETCH THIS! I was so excited when I got the sketch, I got right to work! I had a moment of freaking out wondering if I would do a good job, but I do really like my layout!

Catch of the Day

Check out the sketch and my layout over at Sketch This!


I also did a little scrapping this weekend....Ciaara pulled out her little scrapbook cart and scrapped with me. We had a pretty lazy weekend which was nice. This weekend we are headed to a Wild game and next weekend we will be up in Grand Rapids. Here are my layouts:

"Mommy my Hair looks like Auntie Jessie" I took the

picture before I did the journaling but I talked about

Ciaara making that cute observation and how she doesn't

know that her mommy's hair used to look like that too!

French Braid Thanks for stopping by, have a great week! :D
