HOORAY!

My husband is home for a little while! It has been SUCH a great weekend, even with me having to pick up after to males again. We have been so busy since I last posted, that it had completely slipped my mind to update! SORRY!



My birthday went well. My co-workers are so completely awesome to me! They all got together and threw a food-day in my honor, as well as a nice big gift certificate to Hobby Lobby (YAY for supporting the habit!). AND I got some AWESOME, BEAUTIFUL cards from my ScrapStreet sisters! (Thank you ladies!!!)




Dh got in late that night and we caught up. I missed him SOOOO much. SO glad to have him home, even if it is only for 45 days. Ahh, the life of a military wife. Well, that is a story for another day.




Friday, I left work a little early to hang out with my two boys. We had a nice dinner together and relaxed all evening. Started working on a few scrapping projects I wanted to get accomplished by the end of the weekend.




We had absolutely no plans for this weekend (YAY!). Saturday was perfectly wonderful. We went grocery shopping, did a little misc shopping at Wal-Mart and the PX, and then hit the swimming pool. By the end of the day, little man was tuckered out so he conked out early. MORE SCRAPPING TIME! Oh and time with dh .



Today, dh slept in (again) so Matthew and I hung out in my scrap room. He was busy playing with all of mommy's "toys" while I was laying out a few ideas for the layouts I was trying to finish for the contest over at Scrapdango. Week One was tough. With so many restrictions and rules, I didn't know how I would finish...



Enter Week Two. Well, for week one's bonus challenge, we had to draw a sketch. For Week Two's challenge, we were assigned another scrapper's sketch to base a layout on. And THEN the bonus round was to do our own sketch as well. Here is what I came up with:

I am pretty happy with the results.




Week 5 @ TheScrapbookSite




Week 4's Layout:









I have to admit, I LOVED this round. I LOVE telling stories with my layouts. I have been meaning to scrapbook the story of Matthew's tubes and just hadn't gotten around to it. FINALLY its done and in his book. If you would like a closer look at the journaling, you can find it here: 35 Minutes






You can vote for my layout by private messaging Kelly Shults with the name of the artist and the title of the layout. (i.e., Breeze7 with 35 Minutes)





Btw, Kelly is an AWESOME designer over at Dream Street Paper. If you have a chance, check out their blog here: Dream Street Paper

Ok enough from me! I am off to bed ( you know, beauty sleep and all...).




Talk to you soon!
