Scrapbook Withdrawls !

Is it possible to die from scrapbooking with-drawls? I hope not :) I have not scrapbooked in 2 weeks! AAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGHHHHHHH!  I am jones-in' for a paper/ embellishment / ribbon fix! I think today I'll set aside the responsibilities of life and make a couple pages. . . . you know after breakfast, science fair project presentations, doctor appointments, lunches, dishes, school pick ups, dinner, laundry. Ya, right after laundry . . . . NOT! What can I say, I guess I'm just blessed with a full life :)BUT . . .If I have to stay up till 2AM, I'm a gonna get my scrap on!!!!!!

Technically speaking, Stacy Julian says even when we are sorting, and organizing we are still scrapbooking. So I'm going with that this week. Besides, after I'm done with her Library of Memories class, I'll be so organized I will scrap to my little hearts content!

Here are the last pages I did - I'm working in my "all about me" album, and my "wedding" album. . .

 

Amazing Talent!

Okay, she'll probably kill me, but my step-daughter Stacia has one of the most amazing talents. One of the first times I really saw her sing in choir it brought me to tears. When she sings, she sings with her whole being. It's the most beautiful thing. We recently got to see her in a play called "Thoroughly Modern Millie". She was so at ease on the stage like she was just relaxing in her room or something. She taught herself to play the piano, she plays the cello, and sings like an angel. I hope she is able to have a career in the entertainment industry because I think without a doubt it is what she was born to do. For her birthday next month I'm taking her to the Keller Auditorium to see "Wicked"! I can't wait!

She's the gorgeous girl 5th from the left :)

My poor Sammy . . .

My poor Sammy has been sick for a week now. He has a cold, and when he gets a cold he gets viral asthma. He has to have treatments from his nebulizer every 2 - 3 hours. It's so exhausting for him, and frightening. He has barely left my side for a week, but the upside is I've been the recipient of many cuddle sessions from a other wise not so cuddly boy :) I hope he heals soon. It's really awful to see your kids sick. It just breaks your heart :(

I surrender!

I surrender to the mess that is my studio! I am giving myself a new deadline . . . March of 2010!!!

Hopefully I'LL GET IT DONE BEFORE THEN!!! I have been blessed to be given the opportunity to attend Stacy Julian's class at BPS, Library of Memories. I'm hoping that with this chance I'll be able to organize my studio from the inside out! Until then . . . I will squeeze in time to organize my studio in between, asthma treatments, making pink waffles for valentines day, breaking up fights over who remembers the cartoon correctly, and lots and lots of laundry  :)
