Lisa and I did it again. The funny thing is
we didn't think we'd pull it off. I personally think the kit came out adorable! I sure hope that everyone that was at the crop/chat enjoys it as much as I do. 

What scrapbooking lines/products/etc do you dislike?
What do I dislike? Yikes, tough question. I dislike sloppy products.
What is the hardest thing you've ever had to scrap?
The hardest thing I've ever scrapped would have to be Christmas! I don't know why, but for as long as I've been a scrapbooker I hate scrapbooking Christmas snapshots.
What technique do you use more than any other?
I love torn papers. I also love inking.
Ever been published?
Yes!!! Three times in Ivy Cottage Creations (now no longer in business). Once in the Stamper's Sampler, and currently in the new issue of Digital Scrapbook Magazine!
What's the smallest scrap of paper you save?
Well, I don't!!! When I was a paste eater I used to save anything bigger than 3x3.
Ever have any scrapbooking-related injuries?
Goodness YES! Let's see my cutterpede scissors took a chunk out of my leg. My sizzix threw my back out.
Finish the sentence "If I wasn't a scrapbooker, I would spend my money on
Ohhhhhh... is this possible? How about new clothes or new accessories for the house.
Give us your best storage or organizational idea.
For my paste eater friends, it's my HUGE Ikea Expedit bookshelf! I am super organized with this system. For my digital friends, a HUGE hard drive and a HUGE external for backups.
You just won a week-long scrapbooking cruise for 5. Who would you take?
Oh, only five? Karen B, Lauren Bavin, Tina Chambers, Lisa Carter, and Marcee Duggar.
After you've answered the questions, tag 6 of your scrapbook buddies!

I was reading a post titled "what scrapbooking product are you?". I had to give it a try.

This was my response:
You are STICKERS!You like brightening things up in life and decorating your living space with your own personal style. You are versatile and able to get things done with a stick-to-it attitude. People love your colorful personality and personal flair! You like exploring new things and are willing to try anything once. But Stickers beware - sometimes you like to stick to someone that you like a little too much and take them into your confidence a little too easily. Your personality tends to make you a steadfast friend, but make sure the friends you choose are worth your efforts!

I was working on this layout of my daughter and I stopped to ask, when? When did she change from a baby into a little girl? When did she become so opinionated? I'm so excited to see what her future holds, but at the same time I'm so scared. I miss holding her in one arm, I miss buying her tiny little outfits. But you know what I love? I love going into her room at bedtime and talking with her about her day. I love the excitement she feels when she does something correctly. I love when she standing proudly before me and exclaims, "I a big grill." As she enters this phase of girlhood, I enter a new phase of motherhood.

I'll have to get back to that!!!

I go back to work tomorrow! UGH!!! I have so enjoyed being off for the past four weeks. I loved being home with my two kids and honestly, I wish I did'n't have to return. I used to love going back, loved being able to get out of the house. But now, there is something about my kids smiling faces that changes things. I love to have my daughter wake me up and I love my son for turning on cartoons for his baby sister. I get to do this everyday, but now it will be RUSHED. HURRY UP, get dressed, eat this, get in the car, let's go, LET'S GO, let's go!!! It's all a mad rush. I wish it didn't have to be this way. I wish that I was able to be home with my kids full-time. Summer is only 6 months away...until then! 

This is the story of how we met. Stacey is running a challenge over at DSP. I decided this would be a great opportunity to put this event down on paper.

Do you ever just not have the flow? Yesterday I sat down in front of my computer wanting to create masterpieces, instead I create NOTHING!!!!

Ugh, I hate that.
