My scrap room

About a year ago I decided that my scrap room needed to be another, brighter, cheerier color.  I wanted to go bold, so I chose an apple green.  B thought I was a little nutty in my color choice, but being the awesome hubby he is, told me that it was my scrap room, so go for it.  He moved the furniture out and I got to work.  Well, I couldn't JUST paint it.  I was still looking for the perfect organizational method for my scrapping madness.  I have yet to find the perfect tables and computer desk, so for now my plastic folding tables will just have to do.  I did, however, find the perfect shelves.  Ikea's Expedit shelves rock!  And they are the perfect size for 12x12 albums.  I have white and pink boxes that either have smaller envelopes or containers in them or just have the supplies on the label in there.  Each box has a flower label hanging from it telling me what I will find in there.  I did all of that pretty quickly, but it has taken me quite a long time to decide what to put up on the walls.  I finally figured it out and love it all now!!  I just finished hanging up the rod to display current favorite scrapbook pages.This might be the first time I've actually finished a project with no little details left undone.  :)



Those are my boys' little people toys from when they were babies. 



Got the idea to mount some photos on those wooden plaques from Pinterest.


Love my Ikea shelves.


The middle shelves have lego and kid crafts.


I have 3M hooks on the end of one shelf for hanging key rings of ribbon from.


This shelf has my goodies from around the world on top of it.

Snow Flakes in TX

Image
We woke up this morning to fluffy, white snow everywhere. The biggest snowflakes I've ever seen were falling from the heavens. It is just beautiful out there. Have I ever mentioned how much I love my house?? This shot totally cracks me up - Joshua on the receiving end of a massive snow ball from his big brother!! Joshua stuffing what's left of our broken flag pole... Just playing it cool until he could sneak up behind Bryan with that snowball. Not entirely sure, but I think he was taste testing that snow... Such a great smile - love it! Pretty sure he is up to no good. LOL ! Ahhh - the grassy snow man that just wouldn't stop falling apart. He was focused though... DEFINITELY up to no good! Check out all of that snow falling! Snow angel made by my #1 angel. Another gorgeous smile! I just like this photo because of all the snow falling around them. I think they both ended up with snow down their front collars on this one. It was a lot of fun watching them play in th...

First Day of 1st Grade

Image
Bryan has been in school for 3 weeks now. He is having a great time in first grade and doing pretty well. He is loving the fact that he is a "veteran" student and knows his way around and what is expected of him. First Grade comes with a LOT of homework and tests and we've all come to realize that it is going to require a lot more effort on all of our parts to keep him ahead of the pack. They have mixed up what were the two Kinder. classes, so some of his friends are in his class and some are from the other K class from last year. It's great since he will get to know a lot more kids in his year.

Blogging for Scrapbookers

Image
I'm taking my first online class from http://www.shimelle.com/ . Although, I've been blogging since the end of 2006, I think there is definite room for improvement. I'm not the most consistent person in the world (and boy, do I wish that was the case) and I'm not the most articulate either... There are a few things I hope to get out of this class: Some tips and tricks on blog design (I have already benefited in this department) Some friendly reminders pertaining to writing techniques I would love for this to help me develop some habits - like maybe posting more frequently I want to develop my blog into, not only a place to keep family and friends up to date, but a place I can go back to in order to jog my not-so-spectacular-memory. I love to scrapbook, but I find myself forgetting the details so often. It would help to be able to come back here and say "oh ya, that's what I wanted to remember about Christmas morning 3 years ago". Cause let's face it, I...
