June month of anticipation

June 2, 2010, this is a month of anticipation.  Anticipation of being done with work for the summer months, looking ahead to lazy summer days of floating in the pool, exercise and most importantly my paper crafting.  A couple of projects loom in the near future.  Papercrafting for me is about purpose.  Right now I need to focus on a creating a mini book gift for a co-worker, a wedding gift for my son to give to his best friends and a two page layout for my LSS alias my sister.  I usually have to think a bit about my projects before they come to completion or even beginning.  Once I have successfully thought long enough an idea comes to me and the project is completed.  However right now I have the ideas and need to sit in my space and start the creating process soon.  This weekend looks hopeful as the weather will probably not be beckoning me outside, because when the weather is nice it is really hard to be inside looking out.  Our summers are short and I enjoy every precious moment spent outdoors with my camera and basking in the beautiful sunshine watching the gardens grow...

Superbowl Sunday

I am working on a mini album from House of Three and it is coming out so cute I can hardly stand it.  When I get it done I am going to try and post some photos here.  It is really fun and easy to do.  It was a downloaded printable and really cute.  I may just do another one just because I love it so much!

Looking forward to my son coming home!

Four days til he comes home hopefully the weather will be quiet enough for air travel.  The winter has been roaring it's ugly side lately.  Can't wait to see him!  Cleaned his room today to make sure it will be ready for him when he arrives.  A few details to finsh and then the wrapping.

Christmas Cookies

Today I finished the cookies.  My niece
Sarah came down to help, she was a great helper.  She learned about the different kinds of cookies.  My
BC cookie cookbook tells you about the different types of cookies. 
She seemed to enjoy rolling and cutting the cookies out as well as putting the cinnamon candies and colored sugar on them.  Maybe next year she will be ready to put them in the oven and take them out.  She brought home some to the family when she was done.  Good job Sarah.

First Post

Hopefully this will work out OK and I will enjoy doing this as much as I enjoy reading all the other stamping and scrapbooking blogs. I hope to eventually figure it all out and to be able to post some of my projects for sharing.
