Sketches

I love sketches! They are a great way to jump start the scrapping proess, especially when you are in a slump. Check out Lucy Chesna's blog for great sketches. http://mysketchworld.blogspot.com I hope to start posting my own sketches soon. Maybe as school winds down and summer is here I will have time to do so. Until then let me know if you find awesome sketch sites out there. I have a few more to share in the upcoming days.

Life's Happenings

Wow, there has been so much going on with us. We have been out of town the last two weekends. We went to my moms for Easter and can you believe that it snowed 4 1/2". That just doesn't happen in Texas. Made for some great Easter pictures to scrapbook. Last weekend, we went to Abilene to join my dad as he participated in a BBQ competition. It was fun, but cold and windy. The kids did all kinds of things from visit a Model Railroad museum, National Literacy Center exhibit of Richard Small, and Musical of the Berenstain Bears. Plenty of photos to scrap now. I have been checking out two new awesome scrapbook sites: www.webscrappin.com and www.feelingscrappy.com , go visit and tell them you read about them here. They are off to great beginnings. Can't wait to get my next kit from cutabovescrappin.com , it should be out next week. The girls there have also started a Yahoo group. So fun to chat with the rest of the design team there. Well, off to cook the dh some meatloaf. He just thinks he is starving.

For all of you with kiddos

www.FamilyWatchDog.us


When you visit this site you can enter your address and a map will pop up with your house as a small icon of a house. There will be red, blue and green dots surrounding your entire neighborhood. When you click on these dots a picture of a criminal will appear with his or her home address and the description of the crime he or she has committed.

The best thing is that you can show your children these pictures and see how close these people live to your home or school.

This site was developed by John Walsh from Americas Mo st Wanted. This is another tool we can use to help us keep our kids safe.

Please pass this on to everyone!!!

Camping

Back from camping. I took 3 of my kids on a three day camping trip at Hords Creek Lake in west Texas. We had a great time even though it got really cold at night. I was so glad that we decided to rent a cabanna when the winds got up. We would have blown away in a tent. I took a lot of great photos of the kids. They fished, rode bikes and flew kits. We enjoyed cooking hotdogs and smores. Sage calls the smores "SNORES". Can't wait to scrap the photos.

Spring Break is here!

Yippee, a whole week with no work and no worries. I am so excited that I have already completed two layouts since I got off work this afternoon. My family is well on its way to being healthy after a whole month of being sick. I am so excited about the layouts that I just completed as Guest Designer for Scrappinwithgrace.com. Come on over and check them out. Well I am off the enjoy the warm night time air and work on another layout. Happy Spring to you all!!!

Marvelous Monday! 2-5

Wow, falling behind here! Seems like forever that I have blogged! I have been so busy. I am competing in 3 different survivor games: Scrapbook Chalet,Timeless Inspirations and Turtle Soup. Can you say I am addicted? I am also a new Design Team member for CutaboveScrappin.com. Can't wait to get busy with their kit. And then there are my kiddos. The little ones are on a roll, they keep me laughing daily! What would we do without the funny things kids say. My kindergartener has her first boyfriend. It is a hoot! The basketball season is winding down for the 13 year old. So many things going on! When is spring break? Have a good one and see you soon!
