My Latest Scrapbooking Pages

I got a really great start on scrapbooking for the current year!  I uploaded and ordered all the photos we've taken so far this year then organized them by month and activity; making sure to write names, dates, and details on the back. 

Once I had that done decided what to scrapbook was so easy!  I managed to get all of these pages done in just two days and have only titles left to make on all my other layouts.  I could not believe how easy it was to accomplish so much... all thanks to those scrapbooking kits I was gifted!  

Once again I turned most of those two page kits into perfect one page layouts.  









Though I did put one two page layout together and didn't change a thing.  




Have you ever tried scrapbooking using a pre- designed kit?  I never had but I do love how quickly it all comes together.

      Those cat ones are my favorites too; especially since we had to put him down recently. I know the boys will just love having these memories preserved.

    I love this!! I haven't scrapbooked in years! There's a store here called "Mighty Dollar" and they have a HUGE selection of dollar scrapbooking supplies! Do you have one near you??

    Your pages are adorable. I have lots of scrapbooking supplies in my closet. Maybe one day I'll return to it. I always enjoyed it so much, and I am SO thankful for the albums I did complete.

      Thank you! I took a good 3 year break (at least) and have just recently made an effort to return to it-- and I'm loving it! I think the boys being the ages they are and the fact that I have more free time makes all the difference.

    I think the kids would make scrapbooking so much easier! Thanks for linking up with Hello Monday! Tanya - The Other Side of the Road

Favorite TV Shows Growing Up in the 80's and early 90's

Image
Do you remember the TGIF lineups on Friday nights? I can remember planning sleepovers and time with friends around TV Show lineups of our favorite shows... or else trying to set the VCR to record our favorite shows if we weren't going to be home. And through the years I had SO MANY favorites! Growing pains aired in 1985 which put me around age 8 and it stayed on the air until I was 15 or so; I'm pretty sure most people in my age group watched mostly for Kirk Cameron and all his antics.  I still have a soft spot for family sit-coms!  The Facts of Life aired when I was just 2  and stayed on the air until I was 11 so I'm sure the episodes I remember so fondly were either some of the later ones and then reruns shown later on when I was old enough to watch from the beginning. I think everyone would have loved an Edna Garret in their lives.   Benson another sitcom that began airing when I was just 2 and was done by the time I was 9 (another one I must have watched mainly through

Things That Make Me Laugh

Image
I loved the challenge of this week's list for our 26 lists link up.  I don't know about you but I really need to laugh more lately.  It's such a great stress reliever. 1.  Books-- I love a good funny book that makes me laugh out loud.  I haven't read one in a while but if you have any recommendations I'm all ears.  The last book I can remember making me laugh was the Un-Honeymooners. 2  The boys being silly. 3.  Watching shows like America's Funniest Videos or Family Feud. 4. My husband.  Most people don't realize it but he's actually pretty funny and often makes me laugh. 5.  Whenever my sisters/ family get together and we get to reminiscing (particularly if my Aunt Elaine is around) we end up laughing so hard at all the old family stories that we are all in tears by the end of the night.  It's fabulous. 6. Movies like Mom's Night Out, Christmas Vacation, and Grown Ups make me laugh out loud. 7.  When my boys were youn

Dorm Move In & Alec's Dorm Photos

Image
 Alec and I loaded up the car Wednesday morning. I was literally unable to sleep the night before thinking there was no way we were going to fit all his stuff ( see yesterday's post! ) into my car. But first try we got it all to fit! There wasn't really any room to spare but that's okay, we all fit and so did everything he wanted to bring with him.  Since Alec is in the honors program he got to move in 2 days before the rest of the school (on Thursday).. which meant we didn't hear a whole lot from the school on what to expect for move in day. We were told to be there anywhere between 10 am and 7 pm so we decided to shoot for the 10 am and give ourselves plenty of time. His roommate wouldn't be moving in until Saturday and Alec will have a full day of activities and meetings today (on Friday).  We did label everything with Alec's name, dorm name, and room # just in case and printed out a parking pass (again, just in case)-- none of which we needed to do but were
