Sweet Summertime!

It's been a busy summer so far! I've got so many new great pics to scrap! I looked at my books a few nights ago and saw just how far behind I am, further than EVER. I LOVE summer time. Playing in the park, swimming, barbecuing, camping! My kids are very fortunate to have a new city aquatic park and new city park to enjoy! Now that we've moved we are within walking distance of both so we've been getting lots of good use out of our double jogging stroller. The kids and I went on a 5k to raise money for MDA last weekend! I'm not really a runner, but I did run a little bit of it and I LOVE to be able to run a whole one some day. I've got a LONG ways to go before I'm up to it;) Here's a little preview of all the fun pics I have to scrap so far.

I'm Back!

I've been MIA for a couple months now, but now that I'm semi moved I'm back! It's been an extremely busy couple of months!

The new house is coming along and we moved into it a week ago. The bedrooms are all pretty well done, just some fun decorating left to do! I'm pretty ecstatic about how my new bedroom turned out! The chocolate brown panels I ordered for the windows just showed up yesterday! Hoping to get the hubs to hang them for me this weekend!

I was able to set up my scrapbook room a couple nights ago also! I haven't been able to spend much time in it yet, but it's nice to know it's all set up and waiting for me! I've still got a little more organizing to do and need to get some different paper storage. This is just an unfinished room in the basement with concrete walls and floor and a couple scraps of carpet pieced together. I had big ideas for paint and decorating it, BUT after remodeling the rest of the house I decided I wasn't ready to begin painting MORE. I'm sure eventually I will though. I do have 1 layout in progress out on my work desk. I found this desk for $25 and the tables for $10/each at a garage sale. The sale was for the old family practice office because they have a brand new clinic attached to the hospital now. All the proceeds are going towards remodeling our Labor and Delivery rooms. It's a MUCH MUCH MUCH needed remodel! This is something that I'm very happy to help support as it will make my job a TON easier once it is done and I will also be able to enjoy as a patient in the future if we decide to have another child.

Trying to Catch up!

I've been trying to get my digi family album caught up, so I did some pages for 2008 tonight. I'm WAY behind on it. It's going to be a few weeks before I have much time to do any more since we close on our NEW house tomorrow afternoon!!! I'm going to have a scrap room finally!!! I just won't have time to use it for a few weeks. lol Here's my latest.

New House

I created a shutterfly share site with pics of my new house!!! The closing date isn't until the 17th now:( I'm going to be off work the 17th-23rd though, so I guess that works out well.

This digi layout was inspired by the Clay Walker song, "Before she was Mama." Some of these pics I just don't think I can put into my Family Album, since I plan to make copies for each kid and I'm sure I'll be showing it to lots of people;)

Digi Challenge

I won the "Who needs glue Digi Crew" challenge!!!! That means it's my turn to host it, so thought I'd do a sketch for everyone. Here's what I came up with. I'm so excited to see everyone's projects!

Unfortunately I don't get to do any paper scrapping tonight:( I did get it all organized though, so I might just have to wait until we close on the new house to set it up.

A few new digi's

I'm hoping to get some Paper Scrapping done later this week when I'm off work for 3 nights in a row!!! I might have to pack up all my scrapbook stuff soon though and wait til I have my new room to use it in! It's still going to be a couple months before that happens:( I did manage to do some digi last night, although I shoulda been in bed at the time, here they are:
