Well, I haven't been on here in ages...
it's a New Year, hopefully it will be a much better one.

I'm back on the DT for another six months at Turtle Soup...very excited about that.
I still try and participate at Chatty Scrappers on 2Ps, and also on My Scraps and More.
This past year I wasn't able to get a lot done, so I'm hoping I can get back in the swing
of things.

Since I've been off from school I've gotten some scrappin' done...a few DT projects
that are coming up, and a couple of pages for Chatty Scrappers.  I'm working on some
thank you cards for some really sweet people at school this Christmas. 

Here are a couple of the more recent pages I did for Chatty Scrappers; I'm still
working on some really old photos.  These are from Christmas 2004.  Why is it
the only time I want to scrap Christmas photos is around Christmas???

Well, hopefully I'll be back with more very soon :)

My Scraps & More Sketch No. 36

I've had a chance to scrap for the last couple of days, and decided to check out My Scrap and More's sketch blog.  Sure enough, as always, they have a terrific sketch for this past Friday. 

Here is my take on this terrific sketch:

Turtle Soup Reveal

Today is the day that Turtle Soup revealed its new DT and the wonderful works they created from a great sketch by Bev.

Here is the sketch:

and my take on it:

Now, head on over to Turtle Soup's Blog and then on over to the Forum and see
what they've all created...
We'll be happy to have you come and visit and stay a while :)

Welcome back to those that were here before and welcome to the newbies that venture our way.

Today is my baby girl's birthday.... as she's said, she's no longer a teen!  Where has the time gone?

I wish her a huge Happy Birthday, and hope her 20's will be rewarding and memorable for her.
Here is a simple card I made for her.

Love ya, Meagan.

It's been awhile ...

I haven't posted on my blog in quite some time.  Not much has changed; I still work two jobs, but right now it's summer so only working the one job, and mostly evenings.  Although I had hoped to
get a lot more done around the house, I get sidetracked :)

Anywho, my dear friend, Bev Code,  http://beeceecreativity.blogspot.com/  has wrangled me into working with the DT on Turtle Soup http://www.turtlesoup.scrappingturtle.com/index.  I was resistant at first.  Then I started looking around and saw what she was trying to do, so I dove in head-on.    So, thanks, Bev, for such a great opportunity.

I've also spent some time on My Sketch World completing some of their ABC Summer Crop challenges along with My Scraps and More in their Got Talent III Challenges.  These are both great for me to get me out of any lull I have in my scrappin'.

Also, to my dear sweet friends at Chatty Scrappers at 2Peas...you will always be dear to my heart.

So, that's it for now.  Will post some pages soon.

Love to all.

      Well, it's definitely been a while since I've been on here.  I had been in a scrappy slump for a little bit, and then we had our school testing, which pretty much wipes out an entire week.  Been a lot more
tired than usual too...probably just staying up way too late and not getting enough sleep.  Definitely going to try to go to bed earlier tonight...of course it's almost 11:00 now though, LOL.

      I did scrap a little this week, thank goodness.  The new month always brings about new challenges and sketches, which always inspires me.

      Here is the page I did for MySketchWorld's DT using Lucy's fantabulous sketch!

And here is a page I did tonight using  a LO by Monica B. for the scraplift challenge over at 2Ps Calendar Girls.  It's hard to believe that I've been scrapping with these girls for six - almost seven - years now.   They're just remarkable and I'm incredibly lucky to have them in my life...

 

     A  customer at JoAnns has let me borrow some of her MemoryBox dies; they're really delicate, and so lovely.  So I used a couple of them on the above page.  I've really grown fond of a couple of them :)  Thanks, Jill, for entrusting me with your scrappy supplies :)

     This coming weekend is NSD.  One of my favorite scrappy times.  Although I was asked by a co-worker to cover his shift Friday night, and I said yes without even thinking about the date.  So I'll
be working Friday and Saturday nights, and Sunday all day.  I may get lucky and get a page or two  done, but we'll see.

     Well, guess I better go try to get a few things done before bed...

      This is a quote that MyScraps&More used for a quote challenge last week, and I used it on a page, and I'm thinking of using that as a motto-type quote.  Don't know who said it.... I should probably look that up .... but it's just an amazing, and truthful, quote...

Here it is:

"Minutes are worth more than money; spend them wisely."

Is that not an amazing quote?

Anyway, good night all.
