I’m loving this new app Bj got for his iPad. I think it’s called sketchbook pro. I really miss sketching. It’s something I did all the time in art classes in college. These are for my current obsession, scrapbooking. But I’m sure I’ll be experimenting with digital paintings soon.

I hope this isn’t too annoying
I am having serious trouble standing over my layouts and taking pictures of them straight on. Since my lovely daughter has been crazy beans lately and I haven’t a chance to re-take these shots, here are some not so great pictures of my layouts. Gosh I bet that really makes you want to read on …
Just in time!
I’m not going to lie, my day is going from bad to crazier. One of THOSE days, you know mamas, right? I’m eating a lunch of natural cheetos and a full strength Tejava (yes, it’s after three!) as I try to muster a laugh that the garden center sold me cocoa shells instead of hazelnut …
The magical fruit
Today was a super busy totally fun day that involved swim lessons, chickens, a splash fountain, skinned knees, and long drives. But of course I took no pictures so I’m sharing some from a week ago. I got this tub of beans idea from Sew Liberated, who was a trained as a Montessori teacher and …
Showered
I had a fabulous weekend, and I hope you did too! Saturday after our toddler music class we drove to Corvallis for the fall festival. We got to hang out with Sarah who snapped this photo. Ah my two loves! So sweet. Sunday was the shower in honor of Kathy, who is due next month. …
On the brain
Ugh, Bj’s cold attacked me too! Yuck! I hate being sick, and having my ears plugged like this. I’m mostly better but it will be a happy day when I can pop my ears, that’s for sure! One thing I managed to do while sick was make up this cute banner for a baby shower …
Picking in the Rain
This morning their was a break in the drizzle we’ve had for a few days and Tuesday and I worked out in the yard trimming, dead-heading, and weeding. Tuesday didn’t just stick by the tomato plants and eat them non stop like usual (though she did pick a couple of peppers). I think that is …
Scraplifting, old school style
Actually when I first started scrapbooking I didn’t scraplift (copy the design or elements of an existing layout) at all. I just did whatever. Now that I have my own loose style I find it easier to look at other people’s work for inspiration and not loose my style in theirs. I pulled out my …
This and That
-what a day around here. I had a very upset toddler who was not telling me why she was upset. This is rare, I usually get a lot of signing on her wants/needs. -Finally in the evening we had the double combo of grandma coming over and getting her to eat (exactly what I had …
The Beach
We had a great weekend. Saturday we picked up Sarah and headed to the coast. Tuesday spots the big water (her sign for water is a finger by her mouth… she can’t quite make the “w” sign). For some reason the water was quite nasty, lots of foam, so she wasn’t able to play in …
