6x6 Family/Friends Scrapbook(s)






I finally made time to sit down and start my 6x6 family scrapbook. After this is caught up I will start my 6x6 "Friends" scrapbook! You know all those little photos that friends give you of their kids and their families - especially at Christmas time? Well, with the 6x6 scrapbook I have a place to store those pictures and journal so I don't forget over time who they are! Not that my memory is going or anything like that!! I have quite a few to go but it has been fun getting started!

Back from a trip North!




Well, we went back to for a long weekend and had fun! A birthday party, shopping and a wedding Saturday... Church, kids visiting friends, and stamping with new product for me and also I learned to play Guitar Hero for the first time on Sunday!! Monday was a visit to the hospital which ended up being a little frustrating but it was followed by swapping SU product with an other demo and lunch at BK (don't have one in the valley) and then a pedicure (which was badly needed) then over to Apryll's to make brownies (and more GH) and then her Body Works home party! More foot pampering!! and then Monday was over and we were on to Tuesday..... Checkup for Jason - not 100% yet on the hearing but very close.... then picked up Jason's friends, last order from Suppers, picnic lunch in F/C and back on the road home. I have 3 new cards posted using some of the new "In Colors" that will be available next month!!!! and 1 new stamp set "Sock Monkey" which is very cute!! The sock monkey is my own creation. The other two cards I CASED at my friend Linda's house and I don't know who to give credit to but I really liked the cards - enough to recreate them!!

We have been here 4 weeks as of tomorrow... I still feel disconnected. From friends, life, everything. I have always had a job to jump right into when I have moved in the past so my days right now seem almost meaningless. I have never been "just a mother" so it is really a hard adjustment. I do need to find a job and get my SU business going again if possible. But, for now I am still unpacking/settling in the rest of our household that finally made it here last Sat about 4am.

I haven't done any stampin either. It is always more fun for me to stamp with someone.... hoping I get some creative juices flowing soon....

Happy 4th of July!!!

From March to June a lot can change!

Well, I was just reading my last blog and a lot can change in a short amount of time! In March I was cruising along... working a FT job and a PT job..... happy.... then the first part of April Drew applied for, interviewed for and was offered a job 250 miles away. In the middle of nowhere! All I can say is it is actually pretty here - mountains all around and a Ski Resort less than an hour away.... God's country Colorado!! Nice town from what I can tell so far. Everything seemed to fall into place and on June 7th we headed here. Drew did the drive back and forth every weekend for about 7 weeks. I am hoping that we will get settled and back into some sort of routine again soon. I still feel like life is on hold.

Okay, I was looking on the computer to see what I could post that was current and I seem to not have anything! So, this weekend the goal will be to get some new photos to post...

This isn't Stampin' Up! but there is some artwork on the wall! Not sure why someone is ON the table.... she is a ham though :)

I have jumped in with at least 1 toe!

Okay, so everyone seems to have a blog now so I guess I will jump on the bandwagon! I will try to keep it updated but who knows how that will go - hopefully I will actually get time to "sneak" away and get some stampin' in soon!! I actually cleaned up my stamping area so I can start fresh with all new creations!! The kids are out of school for spring break over the next week so that should be fun... maybe a little more relaxing days than the norm :)
