rock scrapblog

I heart scrapblog.com.  I use it to make a new desktop for my laptop every month.  It’s fun.  Here’s my rockstar, Andrew wrapping a mix tape around the sofa.  I think he has a career in music.  Or demolition.

no sleep ’til Birmingham

Things were looking good for me last night, I finished packing my scrapbook stuff and got in bed at 11:30 — that’s early.  I tried really hard to sleep, really I did.  Sleep wouldn’t come.  So, I got out my laptop, tried to order a dress, didn’t order the dress; the ship date is next [...]

a little show and tell and a little history

I don’t usually (ever) post pics of anyone else’s children, but I’m breaking my own rule today.  My bff in S’port, Darla, and her hubs Chris had twins in the spring and they are my unofficial nephews. And her dog is an old friend of mine, too.  This was going to be a short post, [...]

new banner, just bored

Hey y’all.  I was bored with the fall banner and I can’t leave well enough alone, so I made a new one.  It’s the OCD in me.  I don’t have the good kind of OCD that makes you clean like crazy or comb the carpet fringe, I have the kind of OCD that makes me [...]

new banner for fall

I’m ready for fall, ready for it to be a little cooler here in the hot & sticky south.  So, I thought I’d give the blog a little makeover with a new banner.  I made it with Rhonna Farrer’s digital scrapbooking kits from twopeasinabucket.com — great site.  I’m new to the whole digi scrapbooking thing, [...]

Back to school scrapblog

I made this on scrapblog.com in just a few minutes.  I kind of like it. I tried to draw colors from their backpacks, since that’s the only colors I had to work with.  I love that Scrapblog is making little journaling cards, brackets, and titles that look like overlays.  Pretty neato.

Early bird, shmirly bird

6:15 is way too early to wake up to get a seven year-old ready for school.  Like a moron, I set my alarm for pm, so I didn’t wake up, so this is what I wake up to: Mom, I think I missed my bus, did you forget to wake me up? I guess [...]

the not-so dark (k)night

Started watching a doc on the History channel, Batman Tech, tonight (it was good — try to catch it August 11th when they air it again).  Anyway, I love superhero stuff, so I had to watch that.  Andrew was still up, and once he saw “Batmain” there was no going to bed.  Had to put [...]

Eggs to Dye For

So, OCD mom that I am, this was the first year I let Andrew dye Easter eggs.  It was a complete mess, of course.  I couldn’t find the dye kit we used last year — it came with gloves — love that.  I should have just bought gloves.  Moron. Oh, well, he loved it.  I think it’s [...]

Andrew’s 1st Haircut

Andrew’s haircut went great last year, but every one since has been a nightmare. 
I went out of my usual color palette for this one, ’cause the smock they put on him was a color I’d never use.  Still, I like the argyle pattern I made & I think this layout was the first in my [...]
