Happy Thanksgiving

Do you want to see what I’ve finished since yesterday?  I’m getting closer to finishing the layouts my cat destroyed but it’s been slow going as I struggled with the choice to start from scratch or try to recreate the original layouts.  In most cases, I chose to try to recreate the pages because I [...] Filed under Freebies, I Scrapped!, Stuff and Rants | Comments (16)

Chipping Away at the Never-Ending Story

I’ve been MIA, I know.  I’ve just had so much going on that stopping to blog has been the farthest thing from my mind.  I’m moving overseas (this is a move back to the U.S. after three years in Germany) and there’s only a month remaining before we take that final flight.  I’d hoped to [...] Filed under I Scrapped!, Plugs & Reviews, Stuff and Rants | Comments (2)

Still Scrapping, After All These Weeks…

I Am The Memory Keeper

I was thinking about my current project - you know, the gigantic memoire album of our time living in Germany - and contemplating how I decide to create a page.  I have pictures of so many things - events, visits, celebrations and vacations and even just everyday random shots - and not all of them [...] Filed under I Scrapped!, Plugs & Reviews, Stuff and Rants | Comments (5)

Darned Head Cold!

It seems like all I post lately is layouts but I just feel like I’ve got a deadline hanging over my head and I really want to get these done.  I finished another nine today but I’m still behind because I haven’t done any since the last time I posted.  I’m going to blame the [...] Filed under I Scrapped!, Stuff and Rants | Comments (10)
