Domo

Another layout! I used the Cogsmo line from Cosmo Cricket. The kids named this little guy Wall-E.

Imounted the black cardstock on chipboard scraps.

I went to the catholic thrift to donate a bunch of stuff today. Didnt find anything too exciting. 2 packs of sequin pins, a creamer (maybe to pull a small plant in) and a cork memo board. I have been looking for one of these to redo and I finally found one.

I also had to run to the mall today. I went in Old Navy thinking I would get some of their flip flops that are on sale for $1 a pair today. O.M.G. It was worse than Black Friday in there. Lines from the front of the store all the way to the back. And there were maybe 4 colors left. It looked like half of Polk County was there! So needless to say, I was not standing in that line to get flip flops! I took the kids to the Children's Place and they each found a pair for $1.99. Works for me!

Have a great weekend!

Recent Crafty Stuff

I thought I would share a few crafty things I did recently. Paper-crafty. I did this for Blake's album. The journaling is the same as the one further down for Layla. Since we got Pumpkin, I started calling her P. Somehow, it started me calling the kids B & L. So I thought I would do a page about it.

I also finished this. I've had these pages back for a while, so I figured I would finally finish it all. I'm sure some of you know what a Circle Journal is, so what's an Un-Circle Journal? We completed all the pages, sent them to the hostess, and then she divided them up and sent them back.

Here is Layla's version of the B&L Layout. I didnt have two sheets of that blue, so I decided to reverse hers.

A close-up of the journaling:

I whipped these up the other night. Really fast and simple! I think the pinwheels themselves turned out good, but I'm not sure about the end result. The little bucket I got on Valentine's Day clearance awhile back.

And some crafty-ness from the kids. Or creativeness atleast. Atleast they are finally playing with the Tinkertoys!

And finally, not crafty. But cute. Chicken Dinner is sitting on 17 eggs. I have not seen her leave this bucket. We don't think she laid them, but she is sitting on them. There are 4 Aurucana eggs in there that we got from someone Mike worked with. They are the ones that lay the blue & green eggs. I can't wait till they hatch! Even though we can't keep em all :(. (not enough room!)

Have a great week!

Another one??

Two layouts in one week! This isn't the best scan... for some reason it looks kind of washed out. And I'm not sure I love the journaling.

But I love the picture!

Catching Up

I used to scrapbook quite a bit. I was almost always caught up and there were times I didn't have any pictures to scrap! But I haven't done it as much, or at all lately. Blake has 2 complete albums, and Layla has maybe 10 pages! But I finally broke down and did a page yesterday. It felt good. So I'm gonna try and do it more often. I haven't hooked up the scanner or installed the stitching software on this computer yet, but here is a photo:

Maybe I can get another one started tomorrow? We'll see.

On another note, we went to the thrift shop on lunch today. I was looking for frames for three prints I picked up on clearance at Tractor Supply. I did find them, $.25 a piece. Can't beat that. But look what else I found!

Notice the Zodiac signs on the bottom? I sat it on top of the little desk I picked up at the same thrift. Actually, everything but the book on the bottom came from that thrift. The red book on top is a math book from 1912.

Let's just hope I can keep the kids from destroying it!
