Baseball Opening Day

Yesterday was opening day for Manatee East Little League. This is Andrew's first year playing and he is really enjoying it.

ATC Card Holder Mini Africa Album

I had my ATC card holder for at least 2 months sitting on my desk. Last week there was an awesome post on TwoPeas showing how someone made a vacation album with their ATC holder. Ever the scraplifter I loved the idea and knew I had just the perfect pictures from our Africa trip. I really loved how it turned out and am hoping to teach a class on how to make one at K2 sometime soon. I was able to use supplies I had been hoarding for a long time!

More new layouts

I had the great honor to meet Ingrid Fliter, a world class pianst when she was in town 2 weeks ago, she played a private concert at the my office. She was such an amazing person to meet and to hear her play brings tears to your eyes.

New layouts

I have been busy scrapping. I just love the new 5th Avenue Collection from Making Memories. I did these pages for K2. Stop by and see them in person.

My Valentine

What a week. Lots going on at home and at work. I have my own private office now at work! I have finally gotten out of the "cubbie" as I like to call the cubical. I am in a big girl office! I got moved in on Thursday but had to leave for a luncheon and then got back late, so I am partially settled in.

We had a quiet Valentines Day, I will have to upload the photos of the beautiful roses Jeff brought me home. The best present was he got home early enough to take Andrew to baseball practice and I got to make a lasagna for dinner. I have been busy scrapping, I promise to take photos of the layouts I have been working on and post them tomorrow.

Scrap and Dash tonight

SOLD OUT!!! Karen called me to say they had to make more kits. The crops have been really full at K2. Looks like everyone is getting a head start on scrapping for the year.

This has been a crazy week. An event at work, baseball practice, I was the host of Bunco tonight, spelling test, math homework. Busy, busy. Loving the weather in Florida.

Valentines Photo Shoot

Melissa, Sienna, Andrew and I took our annual pilgramage to Picture People in Brandon today (why don't we have one in Sarasota?)for our Valentines photo shoot. Picture People is finally digital and boy was it cool. They can show you your pictures all different ways and crop things out.

I can hardly believe they are both 9. They are growing to fast.

We had a yummy lunch at The Cheesecake Factory and stopped in at Books a Million while we waited for the pictures to be printed.

My old Epson printer finally died last night. Tonight I got the new and very fabulous HP Photosmark C6280 All in One printer. It is really amazing. It scans, prints and even prints photos.

Happy Birthday Shari, Barrie, Larry

I can hardly believe it, my baby sister will be 40 on Sunday. 40, is a milestone in my family. It is a benchmark. It was the age my mother was when she died. Shari was only 10 when our mother died and in two days she will be 40. It seems like a lifetime ago. I love my sister so deeply that when she is hurt, I feel the pain too. My sister is beautiful, bold, smart, loving, funny, driven and wise beyond her years. My sister is my best friend. She is my secret keeper. She is the only one who understands everything little thing about me. Shari said the other night that, she can't believe she is turning 40 and both her parents are gone. I am so sorry Shari, so sorry they won't be there to celebrate this milestone with you. So sorry you had the shortest time with our mom. I know you will celebrate on Sunday with your incredible husband and beautiful girls. Celebrate big. You are loved. You are my sissy and I will love you forever.

Some new layouts I have been working on

I love when I visit peoples blogs and they put their scrapbook pages on it. I will try and do more of that. Since I am a huge TV watcher at night and since the writers strike has totally crammped my TV watching, I am forced to watch BRAVO and scrap most nights. These are some layouts I did this past week.

Happy first day of February

I am wild about the BoBunny Word mini books. I just made another one last night for Andrew's 9th Birthday. The word is PARTY and I used tons of my Disney stash to complete the album in under 2 hours.

I can hardly believe it is already February. We are under 100 days away from our big cruise on Liberty of the Seas in April, I can hardly wait!
