We all recovered from my first Scrapbooking Crop held at my house on Saturday. DH took the children to camp for an overnighter and had a great time. They returned home around 10:00 p.m. to four of us diehards still scrappin'! We had a fantastic time! I can't wait to organize the next one ;)

We had church this a.m. and I was having a hard time staying awake..big surprise after all that scrappin'! Anyway, we made it home for me to prepare some breakfast. I ended up making breakfast 5 times...once for each person! Sheesh! Make up your minds already! We ate leftovers today from the Scrapday, so I didn't have to cook anything new...how cool is that?

I took several photos of myself for Sassacraft's - Sassavivor and The Memory Safe's - Spring Survivor contests. I thought they turned out pretty well, but I took so many of them with the digital camera I was bound to get one eventually. I used Picasa 2 to edit and "enhance" them. So, no, I don't think I really look like that, but it will look good on a layout :}}}

I did my little ebay job today as well for about 1 1/2 hours. So, I decided I'd earned the right to scrapbook. Well, it's 2:00 a.m. and I haven't figured anything out yet. Also, big surprise! I'm exhausted. Here's hoping for a more productive day tomorrow...

Now, what to feed DH for lunch, besides pb & j...

Saturday morning...a day I think everyone should be entitled to sleep in. Ask me if I really ever get to SLEEP in. Ha! If that's what you'd like to call it! I scrapped until 1:30 a.m. working on my Playing Along entry for Sassavivor at Sassacraft.com. I didn't even start until almost 10:00 p.m. I had numerous interruptions from the children. Does anyone else find that extremely frustrating? I know Friday night is a "stay up as late as you want" night, but a stipulation for that should be...if you don't bother Mommy!

Anyway, I finally crawled into bed at 1:40 a.m. I was dragged out of bed four more times before 6:00 a.m. What is up with that? When will these kids sleep ALL night EVERY night? It makes for a very cranky Chicki, ya know?

The kids are all outside with Daddy right now. Ya gotta love that! I plan on cleaning and scrapping and cleaning and scrapping today. That's the story of my life!

Well, here's hoping something actually gets accomplished today :)

See ya!

It's a great day to be alive here in Western Pennsylvania, but I would seriously love to see some signs of Spring besides the birds taunting me. I am SOOOO ready for Spring this year. I can't even tell you how fast these first 2+ months have gone so far. It's just amazing!

Well, I went scrapping at my friend, Lori's house last night until 2:30 a.m. That may not seem very late to some of you, BUT she lives an hour away from me. Boy, is that a rough ride home. So, by the time I got home it was 3:30 a.m. I crawled into bed and not 15 minutes later, Kaila needs a drink! Then 1 hour later she needs something else. Then about 15 minutes after that Blake is up and ready to take on the world. Okay, so that takes us to 5:00 a.m. Blake will go back downstairs and let me sleep. Long story short, I catnapped until 10:00 a.m.

I have a couple errands to run today, as well as make some bread. Then, the night is mine! I shall be scrapping again. I have sooooo many things to get done it isn't funny. I did accomplish a couple things last night. I don't have much time for any other hobbies besides SCRAPBOOKING!

Well, it's now 11:08 and I need to get crackin'!

Later!

Hello, Blogger World!

This is my very first post and I thought I'd never see the day! Me have a Blog? I thought not!

I never would have thought I'd be typing my thoughts, feelings and everday ramblings to the cyberworld. I guess stranger things have happened.


I'm a SAHM to three beautiful children. I enjoy scrapbooking, family outings, volleyball, reading and cooking...not necessarily in that order.

Signing off for now until I figure out all of the other cool stuff I can do here.

Thanks for reading!

Shawn
