Time flies...

YIKES! It seems like it was just yesterday that I last posted.  I see it was April 8, western Easter!  We were running around like chickens with our heads cut off during the week of eastern Easter, with tons of special church services and visits and preparation!  It was a lovely week!  We even managed to get out and see the parade full of Palestinian scouts and more Easter fun!  I've been scrapping in these last few weeks, too, of course!  What is life without scrapbooking, right?  teeheehee.  Just kidding!  Here are a few layouts I have to share!

Just did this one this morning using Indigo Nights, the gorgeous new kit by Jennifer Labre Designs and Flergs.  A picture of me that I actually kind of like from my sister's wedding.

A new favorite layout?  This one, featuring my amazing Na-na celebrating her 90th birthday!  Unbelievable!  This kit is Pure Happiness by Jennifer Labre Designs.

And this one features a few pictures of Scot and I just days before Thomas' arrive in 1999!  I used the kit Only You and I by Faith True Originals and a template, Fuss Free: Tag, You're It 3 by Fiddle Dee Dee Designs.

These are a few pictures of Scoty's first lost tooth.  I used the kit, Toofless, by Faith True Originals and the template Fuss Free: Ornately Framed by Fiddle Dee Dee Designs.

A fun 4th of July layout I created using Jennifer Labre Designs' Glory kit and Fuss Free: Vegas Strips by Fiddle Dee Dee Designs' template!  I made it a double-pager!

Another adorable kit by Faith True Originals on this layout from our time in Disney World!  The kid is Chomp, Romp, and Stomp:

Finally, I used  Just Chillin' by Jennifer Labre Designs for this layout featuring Thomas and his silly antics!

Lots happening in our lives!  We had a great Easter and are looking forward to the last few weeks of school and our family's transition to the US for a one year home assignment!  Which means I'm going to be crazy busy in the coming weeks doing all the things I've waited until the last minute to do!  UGH!  Packing, planning, giving away, and possibly moving out of our apartment into storage if we can't find renters to take our place!  Not a fun prospect.  We're still praying that someone will come along who would like to live in our home for a year.  Or most of a year!

In any event, hopefully I will keep scrapping and keep up with my ministry and life. Hope all of my faithful readers are well!

Until next time...

Feeling Scrappy Once Again! :D

So, I did get to scrapbook!  I did not, however, get to Maggie's birthday pictures yet.  They're next on the list.  These are some memory lane kind of pages!  I don't have many of my pictures from pre-2004 digitally.  Back then, to get them digitally I had to scan each picture in one by one. And the quality was dubious at best. But, the few pictures I did scan in were precious to me, so I started to wonder why I wasn't scrapping more of them!  I pulled out some of Thomas' yearly studio pictures and some of Maggie when she was just a baby, and I came up with these 2 layouts.  It was super fun to look back on these photos, but it made me think about how quickly time moves on.  I can remember when they were all this small, and how I found out when I first had Thomas that, in spite of my lack of baby experience, I simply adore babies!

This first layout is a double pager using Elise's Pieces lastest release: Well Read.  Love this kit!   These are pictures of Thomas, beginning with his first birthday in the year 2000 and continuing through until 2011. It's it amazing to see the progression in just 11 years?  WOW!

The second uses Faith True Originals and mle card's latest collaboration, Daddy's Girl.  Appropriate, seeing as how Maggie is her Daddy's girl!  :D  Both layouts used Fuss Free: Third Time Is the Charm templates by Fiddle Dee Dee Designs.  These are pictures of Maggie when she was just a few months old, from the summer of 2001.  Love her precious smile!

Finally, a layout featuring my cat, Jesse, and a kit by Elise's Pieces called Lucky Me.

Well, that's all for today!  I'm supposed to finishing a monthly financial report which is already more than 10 days late.  I will get it done soon.  Today.  Right.  Until next time!

Scrap Theray. Or how much I miss Davy Jones. :(

I scrapped wto Monkees and Davy Jones related pages over the last few days.  It helps to remember.  Because of all the fun memories, while talking with Mara last evening, I laughed as much as I cried.  These two layouts are only the beginning.  I need to get more of my memories digitally so I can scrap my Monkee life.  But for now, these will have to do.

The kit is Love Is All Around by Elise's Pieces and the template is Fuss Free: Yesterday Once More by Fiddle Dee Dee Designs.

And this kit is Snap and Scrap by Faith True Originals.

This page is not related to The Monkees. :D  The kit is Family Rules by Jennifer Labre Designs.  The pictures were taken and designed by my friend, Babs.

My heart is still sad and likely will remain so for a long time.  I have lost my first love, the crush of my childhood...the entertainer I loved more than any other in the entire world.  I'm forever grateful for the joy he's brought me..for the music, the laughter and the childlike innocence and love.  Missing Davy.
