My Favorites from 2011 (Photo Heavy)

 Hi Scrappers!!!! While I am out of town visiting my parents, I wanted to reflect on my work and acknowledge some of my favorite pieces of work. Here is what I came up with.....

 

Oh, I so loved creating each and every one of these!!!!! I can't wait to get started on a new year and new adventures. January begins my time with Sketchabilities, so stay tuned!!!! I don't know what my future holds beyond that, but I do know that I will be scrapping and creating and loving the paper crafts industry. I wish all of you a safe, healthy, and happy New Year!!!!!! Much Love....

Chronological or Scattered???

Hey Scrappers!!!! It's about 10:30 Sunday night and I am reminiscing with the kids through old yearbooks and baby books. My kids are loving every minute of it. Makes me wonder how much more they will enjoy my scrapbooks later in life. So, my subject matter tonight is on whether or not you scrap in chronological order or do you skip around????? I scrap like I live life....scatter-brained!!!! I am soooo ADD that it is hard to keep my focus unless I am inspired. Once I am inspired than I am able to completely immerse myself in what I am creating. With that in mind, here are some of the layouts I have been working on this week. One is from Thanksgiving about 4 or 5 years ago and then the other is from one of our family vacations. See, I told you....scatter-brained!!!!!!

Some more Bella!!!!!

As most of you know, I am a HUGE Bella Blvd fan!!!!!! So, you can imagine my thrill to be added to the Bella Blvd. Dec. Newsletter. Please go check it out for loads of FUN and Inspiration!!!!!

Christmas and Family

Hi Scrappers!!!! I hope all of your days have been Merry and Bright!!!!! I have a few Christmas layouts that I wanted to share. The papers and embellies will all be familiar. I have a desk full of "mix-match" products from all of my Christmas kits I ordered...The ScrapRoom, Noel Mignon, and My Creative Scrapbook. Usually I am so intimidated by Christmas layouts but I have conquered my fear, pulled out my Christmas pictures and buried myself in all my scrappy sweetness!!!!

Family is everything to me and nothing makes Christmas more special than to be surrounded by the ones I love. I hope you find your inspiration for you inner scrappy diva and work up some magical Christmas pages!!!!

Lots of Hugs and Love

On a side note, I started my physical therapy yesterday. Since my lumbar fusion, I have been having a lot of left leg pain. The doctors say I have some nerve damage so I thought I should try to do what I can to keep my muscles active. Looks like a have a lot of therapy in my future but I am optimistic in the fact that it can do nothing but help my situation.

Well, that's all for now! I hope you stay warm!!!!

Hugs,
