Some new scrapbook pages

These are some scrapbook pages I have finished this week. It felt great to actually scrapbook again.

 

These photos are from last week when my parents took the girls to Chuck E Cheese. They had so much fun with Grandma & Poppa.

These pictures are from Hannah’s first day of school last year. She is so grown up and it’s hard to believe that she is even more grown up now! She can read and write and tell time and count.

This is just a cute picture of Ainsley from last fall. She, too, is really growing up and it makes me sad that my baby is almost three!

This is a photo of Ainsley, almost exactly a year ago. Even though she has gotten so much bigger and older, she still loves Dora!

These are more cabin photos from two years ago. We took Ashley, Dylan & Zoe up to the cabin for a weekend getaway.

These are from a year ago, one weekend when Ainsley was sick. Poor little girl. I still get sad when I see these photos. She was so sick.

This is a picture of Hannah and one of her cousins at the family Easter Egg Hunt this spring. She loves her cousin and gives her a hug every time she sees her.

These are the only pictures I got from our sisters’ weekend a few weeks ago. We all had glitter toes put on. It was so much fun! Mine came off a week ago, but they were fun while they lasted.

Busy weekend!

Thanks to my mom & dad, my house looks like a home! We worked our behinds off for three straight days and got my entire lower level of my house & most of the main level organized and decorated! I still have several boxes of paper to sort through and organize and file. I have to clean out my storage room, too. But the rest is DONE! I love ya, Mom & Dad! :) I’ll post photos in a couple of days when I get everything finished!

Before my parents got in town, I squeezed in a scrapbook page.

I am trying to get all of my previous Easter photos scrapped so I can print them all. So, I used this really cute kit by The Ettes. I love it!

Some Scrapbook Pages

I have been a complete slacker about posting on here lately! Life has been really busy, but good busy… most of the time! :) My parents are coming for a visit, so I have been getting the house ready (don’t stress, Mom, there’s plenty for you to help me with when you get here!) And I finally made some time to scrapbook AND actually post them. Three of these were completed about two weeks but I just hadn’t posted them. Oops! Sorry Fayette & Annette!
These are photos from the Flashlight Egg Hunt at my sister-in-law’s house the night before Easter. Don’t worry Aimee & Chrissy, I have more photos of your kids. I’ll email them to you.

These photos are actually from LAST Easter, but when I got this kit, I didn’t have photos from this Easter. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry!

These are photos of my little Ainslers. She is so funny. It’s a good thing she is cute or she would NOT survive around here! (Okay, I’m kidding about that!) Seriously, this kid gets in more trouble than Hannah ever thought about getting into. She snuck out of bed and into her playroom to find her little fairies.

Hopefully it won’t be another month before I post more photos, but it might be! :)

Wish me luck this week… maybe I’ll even get enough stuff done around my house to finally post photos of it! At the very least I am hoping to pick out paint colors and reorganize some furniture!

Girls Weekend Scrapbook Pages

I spent last weekend with my sisters-in-law scrapbooking, eating, laughing, shopping, more scrapbooking and even more laughing! I had such a great time. It was a very much-needed break. I ended up with 31 completed scrapbook pages by the time the weekend was over. A 2-page spread counts as 2 pages. Aimee blew us all out of the water with more than 50 completed pages! Not that it’s a contest, but it’s kinda fun to keep track and realize how much you actually are able to get done! I scrapped all my 2010 photos so far. I still have thousands of photos to scrap from years past, but it feels good not to have hundreds from this year, too!

So, here are all my pages I scrapped in chronological order. I didn’t do a great job of keeping track of credits. So, if you see something and recognize who created it, leave me a comment and I’ll fix it! :)

Picking Dandelions Scrapbook Page


Adoration by Misty Cato

These are some of my favorite pictures of Hannah from last spring. Hannah LOVES dandelions. The bright yellows in this scrapbook kit were just perfect for these pictures!

The girls and I baked pretzels yesterday. As soon as I charge my camera battery, I’ll come back and post some pictures. The girls had a blast and I am really enjoying all the freshly baked pretzels.

A couple more scrapbook pages…

I got this adorable new kit Lucky Me from The Ettes last week and quickly whipped up three pages! They are releasing this kit this week, so you can go snag it this afternoon.

These are just some silly pictures of Ainsley being herself last fall. She’s a crackup!

***
These are some pictures from the summer. Hannah was frosting some cupcakes and somehow managed to get frosting all over her face! Ainsley was just giving me her little cheesy smile. These are the best days. The days when we just have a good time and enjoy each other.

***
And this is a picture of the front of our house. I believe this was the first time we actually saw the inside of this house. We definitely need to add some shrubs or something to the front of our house to add some depth. It looks like a breadbox right now. Maybe changing the paint color would help, too.

***
We haven’t really been up to all that much lately. I am in the middle of trying to organize our house a little more. I feel like I am always in the middle of trying to organize our house. The girls have been sharing a room since they were tiny. But Ainsley has been keeping Hannah up at night. So, we are moving my craft room from upstairs down to the room we were using as storage. Ainsley will move into the old craft room upstairs. That’s also where all of Thomas’ clothes are and the overflow from the linen closet since we have no bathroom storage. I don’t think we are going to paint or anything yet. She just needs a bed and a dresser for now, which we have. We’ll have to come up with a theme for her room soon. Maybe we’ll just do a duplicate of Hannah’s room! But for now, all the stuff that was in the downstairs storage room is in our downstairs family room & bathroom. It’s really annoying because I keep tripping over everything. But I have no idea where to put this stuff. Where do you store golf clubs when you don’t have a garage? Where do you put your box fan in the winter? What about picnic baskets? And where do you put all your off-season candles? Am I the only person who has these things? What about the empty tv box and software boxes? I need a home makeover… but one of those ones where they come in and tear out walls and rip your house apart and rebuild it. Grrr! It’s one of those weeks.
