I never had birthday parties with my friends when I was little – my parents believed I got enough presents from my family that I didn’t need to ask all my friends to give me some too. I usually had a friend stay for a sleepover and a trip to an amusement park or some … Continue reading
In honor of the Fourth of July holiday tomorrow, I thought it would be a good time to post yet another scrapbooking layout from my Power of 3 theme. I’ve already posted several ways three photos make an amazing layout, and this one is very similar to my first post on Donald Duck. First Fourth … Continue reading
It’s been over a year since our two little monsters joined our family. Buffy was 3 years old and Phinneus only 5 months old when they descended on our home last January. This picture was taken a couple of weeks after their arrival – in a rare moment when Buffy was relaxed enough to come … Continue reading
Even though I’ve been scrapping for years, I’ve yet to do a layout focused on Christmas. It took having my first child to inspire me to finally make some holiday-themed layouts. This one is particularly special because I was able to showcase a great random picture I took of Silas in his Santa suit outfit … Continue reading
Further to my “3” theme in scrapbooking layouts, check out this one I adapted to fit the subject of my photos.

It’s the most wonderful day of the year – HALLOWEEN! It’s no secret that Halloween is my favorite holiday – I live for October 31st. I usually start planning my outfit in mid-May. Every year I strive to be something that requires me to paint my face or wear prosthetic body parts. I love dressing … Continue reading

Basically I’m the definition of a simple scrapbooker – not too much cluttery crap or embellishments – a uniform look that’s pleasing to the eye and allows you to appreciate the photos themselves.

Scrapbooking is my favorite hobby – I cannot begin to describe how much fun I have designing pages and picking out new embellishments and cardstock. I’m lucky enough to have my own craft room in our home, complete with over-sized desk (made by my father – thanks dad!) and probably thousands of dollars of scrapbooking … Continue reading
