Today is photo sharing day... I hope you enjoy!!

Jarod is enjoying his football practicing. He is there every night, Monday thru Friday... 6pm - 8pm. That's ALOT of practice, but I guess football is alot of work. I am enjoying going to watch him learn the fundamentals of the game. (Oh yeah, Jarod is in the light blue shorts)
Miss Meghan... was a bit bored at practice the other night. She got a bit bouncy and went to sit in her chair. Her chair decided to give her a flip. LOL

I caught a few smiles in my pics, before she got embarrassed and grumpy.

And a few layouts to share... (I've been busy!!) Click on the photos and they enlarge, btw. I have been into fairly simple layouts. Playing with techniques, titles, and paper rather than alot of stickers or embellishments. Scrapbooking is WAY cheaper when you don't feel the need to add STUFF to your layouts. :)
I do like the STUFF, I just don't use it often. I still need a room for my Stuff though. I am tired of cleaning my 'space'.
I love this paper! It's from
I am also working on using up older paper, borders, etc. This is a layout made from an old pad of paper and a clearance sheet of paper that I simply HAD to have. I feel accomplished, having used it.
I don't often take photos of myself. I am normally behind the camera. Sean grabs the camera every-so-often. This was a teachers gift / beading project, that I enjoy thinking about making. I really enjoys the giving of this gift, and now I can enjoy the memory when I browse my layout.
This is yet another slab paper usage. I liked that the letters came with the paper. The paper fit the layout. I always like being able to see what I want the layout to be, and feeling like I got there when I slide it into its protective sleeve. :)
These pics were from a family hike. Just a fun time with my kids. I couldn't decide on what the layout was to look like. I just knew I wanted COLOR. It's one of those... Slide it in the sleeve, it isn't a perfect layout, but its DONE. You have all the memories there, that is after-all what matters. LOL
A little squishy. The photos didn't lay out well. Yet there wasn't a wish in my head for another layout, nor the want to delete a photo... so you get what you get.
And finally... (still with me here??) I LOVE the color in this layout. Snow layouts are always hard for me. I want snowflakes, fun, and color. Ok... It's really simple, a bit fun, and colorful. Best of all... It's a completed layout.
Some day though... I will have to rearrange my album pages. I scrap what I feel like, at the time. I scrap ideas that come to mind. I am rarely in order, and often disorganized. That is who I am. I spend alot of time at work being organized and on time. Scrapbooking is my creative release that allows me to be who I am at the time I am sitting at my table. What is better than that?
