Grand Plans

I had grand plans of getting the house in order this weekend....kitchen counters cleared, toys scattered around house picked up, pantry organized, etc. It started out well, I was up early Saturday and mopped the floors. But then it all fell apart. I was sucked into the book I was reading and wasn't heard from for the rest of the day. You certainly can't beat a good book!! Besides, the housework has waited this long, what's another week?! LOL.

Today we are off to the girls' last basketball game, N's last regular season game, and then H's last gymnastics meet of the season. I think that means I should have a couple of free weekends before baseball season kicks into gear! Maybe the housework will be done then?!

I also had hoped to do some scrapping but again, that dang book got in the way....A Discovery of Witches if you must know. It is a new series that is a mix of Twilight and Anne Rice with the potential of a little Harry Potter. I enjoyed this first book...the next one won't be out until June.

In between chapters, I did find the time to take pixs of the layouts that I made during the week --- this first one is based on the February sketch over at My Scraps and More. As you can see, it is a fairly simple layout...I went with H's gymnastics colors of pink, black, and white. She has already asked if she can hang the layout in her room :). I don't love the look of the handwriting -- I much prefer typed fonts but this will do.



I also whipped this one together -- unusual color scheme for me but it was a chance to put some of those Cosmo papers and Studio Calico stamps to use! I liked this layout better in my head than I did when I put it all together but it will do.

Great layouts! I like the pink and black on the first one. And love all the Cosmo on the 2nd!

I was that way when I read the Hunger Games series. I got nothing done except finishing those books!

I totally love how you have added those tiny bits of pattern paper behind the film strip in that first one!
