What I love about being laid-off

I've spent the last 5 weeks being frustrated and extremely stressed about being laid-off. I decided yesterday to stop being so negative. Finally, getting hold of unemployment and at least getting enough money to pay some bills helped! I love Michigan - not...

Anyway, I created this layout yesterday with a little help from Category Stories Challenge blog. They asked us to create a LO that started with , "What i love about ___________". It took me a bit to see the light but I adore this LO. I should have made the ribbon a heart instead of a circle though... oh well. Most important is that I realized that I have been very lucky to have more time with Paige!

Hope you all have a great day and thanks for reading my jabbering! ;)

Thank You!

Gotta take a moment to thank my Secret SIS from SIStv! She sent me some lovely Valentine scrappy goodies! Take a look-see!

Thanks so much! I've made quite a few lovely things with these goodies! Wanna see?

I'm working on a sewing tutorial... check back soon!

Thursday

Hello!

I was chosen for pick of the day over at All Moment Remembered. I'm very excited... The community seems very friendly and talented. What a great compliment! http://amrforums.altrock182182.x10hosting.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=22181

My pick of the day was for this layout:

Isn't it funny how sometimes you put so much into a layout

and other times it just flows and looks great.

I try to make them all this easy... of course the color

matching is so key.

Most of this is all prematched. It's from the SIStv Songbird kit.

Hope you all have a great day!

Laid off again! I really don't like being out of work... Besides the money part I'm bored. I always have fun the first week with the kids and organizing but now that's all done...

I took Paige to the Library this morning; that took an hour... and I'm having trouble trying to think of what we did last week that was so fun. My mind is consumed with just wanting to be alone or be BUSY! My hands and mind are itching to scrap so badly...

This was a sweet moment...

while I was making dinner

Bel was reading to Paige.

Funny how I want them to be close

and yet I'm not with my sister...

Anyway, have a great day! I'm going to see if I can sneak a little late night scrapping after the kiddies are sleepin' tonight. Hopefully, I can get my Color Combo, Pencil Lines, and Scrapping the Music Challenges started...
