So I hope some people are considering entering the Card Challenge. I am going to ask Michelle for the coupon code for the National Card Making Day promotion. Couple weeks to working on it. I can’t wait to see what every one comes up with.

So my son and I are home today. Wew. We made it through the first 3 days of the week. I had a foundation meeting on Wednesday and we are trying to come up with some creative ways for fundraising and publicity for the foundation. So that will probably be on my mind the next few weeks. I have been trying to revamp the website some for it. I have limited knowledge of website creation, but I try. This Blog is soooo easy to run.

so hopefully in the next few days, I will get some fun time in on my Klic-n-kut instead just cutting files. I took some pictures of last years scrapbook to post in the gallery at Paperthreads. I will have to get those up later today. I think this years scrapbook is going to be an 8×8. Try something a little different. I have been sorting pictures I want to use and themes and figuring it all out. I cannot believe it is October. I usually do a few pages a month. My only goal in life to scrapbook is my yearly one. My son loves it.. as does my family.. he can sit there for hours and pour through the pictures. Then along the year I pick up other little projects to make. This year I hope to make some mini albums for family members. So I need to start listing those and getting on top of them. I have made three fill-in-the picture albums this year for friends of mine who love scrapbooks, but just want to add the pictures. I usually do these 8×8. I still cannnnnot imagine doing one of those huge 15×15 Martha Stewart books. Wow. My back hurts thinking about lugging it around.

This is a layout I did with a card from my hubby’s Aunt Nancy. She sent it to me out of the blue one day. I was having one of those days where you just wonder what the heck am I doing in life and there it was in my mail. It is a positive Thank you letter for who I am in life and in her life and in the families. It was around Thanksgiving that I received it. It came on the right day and the right time. So rather then lose it and lose that great moment for me, I put it in my scrapbook. Sometimes the little things you can do in life can make such a big impact. Aunt Nancy is definitely an impactful person.

Well I better get moving. Lots and lots to do over my next two days, but it must not be to bad because I feel like I can breathe. Either not so bad or I am in total denial of everything going on. hahah.. Could be the latter. hahaha. I am sure it is the latter…

Oh and if Lori stopped by to read my blog today… Go hang out with your Hubby and tell him Welcome Home. I am glad he made it safely.
Enjoy! Chris
