I was going to...

...do a 5 for Friday posting but....

I'm GONE SCRAPPING.





I forgot how hard it was to pack for one of these things. Usually I scrap at home and can get at anything I want, whenever I want it. But, I'm going to have fun and make do with what I have packed! Lots of SC kits. That makes life easier, let me tell you.

I'll let you know how it goes. First crop at a new store! Maybe I'll make a scrappy friend.

Scrap Cave

You know how some men have their 'man caves'? That elusive place that's tucked away where they can go hang out and just be a 'man'? Well, my husband doesn't have one of those places. At the moment we're living in very close quarters actually. But, on Sunday, our 2 year anniversary no less, he surprised me with what he deems the 'Scrap Cave'.



It's a lovely spot in the basement of my parents house. While the floors and walls may need a little work, it does have a sturdy table, a tv complete with a DVD player and all my scrapbooking supplies. It's amazing what you can do with so little. So, I have a 'scrap cave'. I'm embracing it in fact. I'll have some layouts to show later this week. Here's a few more shots because you know you're jealous. ;)





Happy hump day!

AND I"M BACK!

Ever notice that summer can seem so short but so long at the same time? Well, camp was awesome. I had great kids and counselors to take care of and boy, did we have some serious summer fun. I shopped, got to hang out with great friends, even made a new "bestie" and best of all-got to spend my summer in a place that I call my 'home away from home'. It's a place I love with all my heart. Pictures of said friends and location are forthcoming!

But here I am back in the 'real' world and adulthood is calling my name again, beckoning me to return to reality where swimming twice a day and riding around on golf carts singing campfire songs are not the usual fare. That's unfortunate really.

I'm easing back into blog life this week but I do have some super exciting news that occurred while I was in my little camp world.



I WAS PUBLISHED. Scrapbook Trends August issue is on stands and they've published a layout by ME. Yep, ME! I was so excited when I got the email in March requesting a layout that I could hardly contain myself. So I did a celebratory dance around the living room and then sent that layout packing-literally. Upon my arrival at the airport I was greeted by my parents, my husband and that beautiful magazine-fresh off the stands at our local bookstore. And there it was-my layout-all about me no less-in the magazine.

So I'll leave you with the layout. I love this photo. It was a very good hair day!




Have a great Tuesday!

Just a quick note...

...to say I am back to reality and in the land of the living again. Camp is over. Booooo. More to come on that this week.

But much more importantly, today I celebrated 2 years of sweet marriage to this guy.



He's pretty awesome. And we have a lot of fun together. Even if he doesn't really like to take posed photos with a camera remote.



Here's to many more years together.
