Overheard

Do you ever wish you could remember a conversation forever? Anyone with children will know what I am talking about. You are driving in your car, pretending to mind your own business so your kids won't know that you are listening to them, and they say something that just makes you chuckle and smile. This evening, as I am driving the kids home from school, I heard a conversation b/w two of my kids (my 4 and 8 year olds) that I hope I remember forever -- a conversation that I couldn't wait to share with their dad, a conversation I just HAD to scrapbook, and a story my grandchildren will surely get a kick out of.



Sarah: Noah, I know everything.
Noah: If you know everything...Then is God a boy or a girl?
Sarah: I know, but I am not going to tell you.

You kids crack me up!! You certainly put a smile on my face after a long day at work!

YUMMY!!!

I am not one to make the traditional holiday cookies. I don't have the patience for cut-out sugar cookies or spending hours decorating cute little faces on gingerbread men. Maybe next year when the kids can do all of the decorating. This year, we made holiday peanut blossoms instead. We rolled some in colored sugars and others in peppermint stick. I wasn't sure how the peppermint ones would turn out but I will say, they are DELICIOUS!!

Sweet Angel

I love watching my children sleep. I love looking at their sweet faces. I always feel so at peace ....knowing they are safe and protected for yet day. Oblivious to the dangers of the world and the daily concerns we have as parents. If only they could stay this young forever....

Finally Some Layouts

Our life has just been too chaotic to get much scrapping done this past month. Between sickness, sports/activities, work, and the holidays there hasn't been any real down time. With the few hours I got last weekend, I did manage to journal on my stack of "not quite finished" layouts --- that was 16 layouts! I do need to get better about finishing my projects. I tend to get sidetracked with new ideas/plans.

My goal for the next few months is to use up some of the supplies I have on hand. As all of you scrappers know, it is much to easy to buy, buy, buy. I now have more stuff than I could use if I scapped a couple layouts a day for the rest of my life!!! That is A LOT of stuff!!

This first one is an old Basic Grey Line and Technique Tuesday stamp set that I bought years ago.


This second layaout is so so simple but the colors were just perfect. The paper is Studio Calico -- I must have 4 kits here sitting untouched at this point! I really must put them to use. SC is great at mixing and matching lines from diff manufacturers, and their own papers are just fabulous!!
