A pink file cabinet for my scrap space

My very very very sweet and loving husband took my old file cabinet and painted it orchid pink. It matches perfectly with my green and pink scrap area (which is now half the bedroom, lol). I plan on putting all my stickers in it. Yes, I have that many stickers (Not sure if that's good or bad?) but I LOVE stickers, I have every since I was a little girl. I just LOVE how the pink file cabinet turned out. I found a super cute green lizard at Joanns, I keep him on top of the cabinet. Here are pics....

My hubby posing silly. I love him sooooooooooooooooooooooooo much!

Thank you sweetie for all your hard work!

I have CM heart magnets on the side holding up photos

Butterfly stiches for Nicole

Well, Nicole was playing with her neighbor friend the other day and someone slammed a door while playing. Nicole was hit in the eye brow by a door knob. We went to urgent care and butterfly stiches were needed. She was very brave. This was much easier than the 5 stiches she needed in her chin 2 years ago. She has been very spoiled this past week and has recovered quite well. :)

Scrap Yourself "My Purse"

Another layout for the "Scrapyour self" online class I'm taking. This one is about my purse and all the things I keep in it, lol. The journaling is just below the photo...
My purse

In addition to my love for clothing I also love shoes and purses. While getting ready for this layout I took notes and did some journaling. I realized that I was unaware of a habbit that I have. I seemed to change purse often, usually with I get boared with one particular style. But last night I also realized that I usually move onto a new purse when my current one is too messy. I made a list of items still currently left in my old purses and item that are in my current purse. It made me laugh… expecially since I was recently looking at a very vute pink purse at Target the other day. I guess I better start cleaning out those other purses.

Items in current purse:
One tube mascara
2 tubes lipstick
a very full wallet/organizer
checkbook
Michael’s coupons
keys
cell phone
4 appointment cards
7 loose crumpled recipts
.44 cents loose change
3 ink pens
mini candy bar wrappers
2 lollipops
Nicole’s name tag from her last field trip
Ticket stubs to Nicole’s school play


Items STILL left in old purses:
Many many receipts!
Appointment cards
Coupons
Floppy disk
Old Make-up
Loose change
Movie ticketsCandy wrappers

My Baby turned 6!

Where does the time go? People warned me of this. I just can't believe she is this big. Part of me is in awe of how smart, talent, beautiful, funny and sweet she is, I love watching her grow and all the stages she is going through. Part of me wants to keep her little forver. Here are some pic for her family birthday parties and Easter....

Angels in Waiting-Scrappers Needed!!!

This is something I heard about on TwoPeas and is something that I'm currently working on. If you'd like to help the cause or know someone who would, check out their website! :)

This is a program that donates 8x8 and 12x12 pre-made scrapbook layouts to foster children and their families. If you have some extra scrap supplies that you're not sure what to do with, why not make a quick couple pages and send them over to them.

Taken from their website:
"Recently, California's Department of Children's Services has tried to address this issue. One of the new guidelines for a foster parent is; to provide a foster child with a "Life Book". Foster parents can help a child maintain links to his / her family's past by creating life books together. A life book is a scrapbook that contains photos, Children's artwork and memorabilia that records the child's life while in a foster home.

Your pages will be packaged and delivered to the Department of Social/ Children Services the child's social worker will bring the pre-made scrap book pages to the foster home. (The pages will be gender and age specific).

We need help from you to donate scrap book pages with spots that pictures can be added, to start making positive memories for these children. Be as creative or simple as you want, we do ask that you use words of encouragement, words that are positive and ego building."

You can read more about the program on their website

pages and donations can be sent to:
Angels in Waiting P.O. Box 1221 Blue Jay, CA 92317 1 (800) 974 4274

Scrap Yourself "always HOME" layout

Another layout I did for Debbie Hodge's online class "Scrap Yourself"

journaling reads:

Grandma and Grandpa’s house will always be home. It is where I have lived for most of my life. My Grandma Betty’s parents first moved to the North Highlands area in 1928, originally it was called Rio Linda. First living on 32nd street and then later moving to 34th my Grandma has lived here for most of her life. Here, her and my Grandpa Leroy raised my Mother and Uncles.

This is where I grew up and I was surrounded by my family. My Mom, Step-Dad and little sister live in the house in front of my Grandparents. My Aunt Marge lived in the house behind my Grandparents, but now my cousin Joyce and Maynard live there. While I was growing up my Aunts and Uncles also lived in the neighborhood.

I have so many wonderful memories of North Highlands, 34th street, and Grandma and Grandpa’s house.
Grandma and Grandpa’s doors were always open. When I wasn’t living there with them, I was running back and forth from Mom’s house to theirs.

Grandma cooked huge Sunday dinners every week for the whole family, huge, wonderful, delicious dinners. I remember the sound of laughter. I’m sure there probably wasn’t only laughter all the time, but it is what I remember most. Grandpa was always out “tinkering” in his garage, that is to say when he wasn’t fishing.

My cousin Michael and I rode bikes, roamed in the fields, and played in the dirt. We fought a lot too. There was never a shortage of someone to play with. My neighbor friends were always around; we ate otter pops in the front yard, caught poly-wogs at the creek, or play Nintendo inside. We practically lived in each other’s homes.

When I think of North Highlands, I picture my Grandparents home, Grandpa’s Garage, Mom’s house, open fields, rolie polies and frogs, cats everywhere, the sunset, and the creek. I remember the sandbox that Grandpa built for me, spending time with Grandma and having all those talks with my Mom.

This was my home.
