Monday, January 23, 2006

Wow! Tagged again!

I am loved! :) This time, I was tagged by Mirandalea. Thank you! I scoured the web for more people to tag too, so read on! LOL

WHAT SCRAPBOOKING PRODUCTS DO YOU DISLIKE?
Digital ones that have stray pixels or "jaggies"

WHAT IS THE HARDEST THING YOU'VE EVER HAD TO SCRAP?
My hubby - he won't let me take pics of him, so I had to catch him sleeping!

WHAT TECHNIQUE DO YOU USE MORE THAN ANY OTHER?
I don't think I have any certain techniques, I just try to make it look good. :)

EVER BEEN PUBLISHED?
No, but I've only submitted one layout to one mag. I need to make a resolution to scrap and to submit more.

WHAT IS THE SMALLEST SCRAP OF PAPER YOU SAVE?
Since I'm all digital, so I have to answer in kb?

EVER HAD ANY SCRAPBOOK-RELATED INJURIES?
Not yet, but I'm sure I'll develop carpal tunnel at some point.

FINISH THIS SENTENCE: "IF I WASN'T A SCRAPBOOKER, I WOULD SPEND MY MONEY ON... my kids, the mortgage, vacation

GIVE US YOUR BEST STORAGE OR ORGANIZATIONAL IDEA:
Get an external hard drive and back it up! LOL My subfolders have subfolders, so I know exactly where everything is on my external.

YOU JUST WON A WEEK-LONG SCRAPPING CRUISE FOR 4. WHO IS GOING WITH YOU?
Ooh, my mom (who has never scrapped), my friend Christi, and my friends Michele and Liz who also have never scrapped. I would make it my goal to get everyone addicted!

TAGS:
This was the hardest part for me. Here are my tags: Rose, Heather, Meredith and Sarah.

New Layout




I actually got to scrap! Yay! I contribute this small accomplishment to the fact that my DH started back to work today. LOL My DD has been jamming to Laurie Berkner while I scrap to my heart's content. I have missed my computer time so much. I feel like I've neglected my inner scrapper too long. I used my Timeless Vintage Collection for this page.

Funny story...

I walk into the room and hubby is sitting at the computer. He realized that I had walked in and quickly turned off the monitor. He looked mortified. I'm thinking, Grrr...scantily (or non) clothed women, with the door open where the kids could walk in! This is totally NOT like him! I asked what he was doing and he said, "nothing just playing around." I reached over, turned on the screen and saw... one of my Jiffy Scraps with our kids pics in it? Huh? LOL He was so embarrassed to be caught scrapping a few pics to print out for his mom. ROFL My man felt his male pride was in jeopardy. Oh my. See, this hobby is totally addicting. Even contagious!

Better late than never...

Christmas is my absolute favorite holiday. There is just such a feeling of love in the air, not to mention the cold, crisp air, smell of goodies baking and the anticipation of what Christmas morning will bring. Yes I'll admit it, I am a big kid. LOL The best part for me used to be racing to unload my stocking and rip open pretty packages. Now, I love to sit back and watch that same light in my children's eyes. It is simply magic! Now, I may be a bit biased, but I think they are just precious. :)

OK, so I am a little late with my Christmas kit, but it has been hectic around here. :) I started this kit about 2 months ago, but it just didn't get finished. Well, better late than never I always say (or at least quote - who said that anyway?). My friends Beverly and Jennifer did some beautiful LOs with it for me.
I really need to start scrapping more. (Good thing they added that extra second to New Year's, huh?) There never seems to be enough time for the things I like to do. It seems that the kids just keep growing up when I'm not looking. I think I should make a resolution to take more pictures, video more, and just spend more time doing "nothing" with my kids. Sometimes that "nothing" means more than all those little somethings. I think I need to go play trains with my 3 year old now. I hear the whistle calling...
