How's the weather in your neck of the woods?

We've been having a great time the last couple of weeks (minus a couple of rainy days here and there). Playing outside and airing out the house. The kids have been all over the woods and on the swings. Hubby has been cleaning out the garage and shed. And wouldn't you know it...










IT
SNOWED!



I know the pic is a bit dark but that's Paige eating snow off a spoon this morning...





It's just like this in Michigan... I grew up hearing that same comment... "don't blink, the weather will change!"


I hope you are having better weather! :)

March is almost over!

Can you believe it? Time flies when you haven't enough to do... HA! that was a joke. Seems like I haven't had a chance to be bored yet.

School it going good. I really like going to class and listening to the instructors. I'm not a fan of reading the books but I like the quizzes and tests (odd aren't I?).

Scrapping is insane lately... I've had to really slow down on my challenges. I picked my Fav's and am trying to stick with just those... Here's a newer layout:

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

I know it's a day early but I believe I may be kinda busy tomorrow ;)


I'm so LUCKY to have you
My Girls... I just love them!
They fill my bucket to the brim...
I had a lot of fun making this layout. I started out making this layout for the design team submission, then I thought I'd submit it for the Spring Green contest, then just as I was finishing it Category Stories posted a 'lucky' challenge... I was kinda surprised how hard it was to line up the lines for the floss on the shamrock... but at the same time I think it really didn't matter if it was straight. It still looks cute. Make sure you use a good stock of paper! if you use something thin it will be wrinkled like crazy when you're done! And the I traced and cut-out the cute little Hambly butterflies.
Have a great day!

Busy, busy, busy

Well, between Fiona getting skunked TWICE (and all the bathing and washing of the house), looking and interviewing for a job, and studying for school I have neglected my sweet little blog here. So sorry to not keep up.



First, I would like to take a moment to thank my SecretSIS who sent me some amazing scrap-goodies (not once but twice). She sent me a card a week or so back revealing herself as Cassie. http://somethingfromcassie.blogspot.com/ I personally think she has awesome taste. I'm certain I wasn't as generous to my SecretSIS as I had hoped to be when I signed up. Sorry MaryJosie for being so tight... it's tough times for me this year.



Second, I want to brag about my excitement. My layout "What I love about being laid off" was chosen as one of the top 2 layouts at Tallyscrapper for the Category Stories Challenge (see it here: http://categorystories.wordpress.com/)! I won their February kit for free. Oh and Christine at Tally chose my layouts for Tuesday and Wednesday for their daily challenges. I'm so addicted to challenges. My goal this year is to scrap at least 5 pages just for me... lol



Here is my layout for Tuesday...

I combined the movie title challenge
with Pencil Lines Sketch#125

TFL!
