Scrapbooking Pages I made in December & January

I had set a goal earlier this month to get at least 5 scrapbooking pages done this month and I'm doing really well with that goal!  It's only 1/2 way through the month and I've already worked on more than 5 pages!

Technically these first few were completed in late December; but I didn't start working on them until after I had written up my goals so I'm still counting it, as that goal is what gave me the kick start I needed to get back into my groove.




I also started these pages in December but didn't actually finish them up until last week.



I also put together these pages.

    These are all so fun! Your posts always make me want to get back into it. I still have loads of supplies, but I just use all of my free time on blogging now.

      Aw, thank you. I found I really had to make myself take the time away from my blog to do some other stuff this year and I'm trying hard to keep that balance going.

    I have so many scrapbooks from when my boys were younger and they are so precious to me! I swear if there was ever a fire in our home, I'd beeline it to my scrapbooks!

    Do you share your scrapbook pages on a certain day each month? Would like to do that, too, if you do. I have been setting goals for completing certain pages and do much better when I have a goal to meet. It would be cool to know how you put these pages together. Did you buy the letters, the camera or use a tool like Cricut to make them? Love the photos from Cheyenne of the boots. And the braces page. Such work of the heart.

      I don't have a special day of the month that I share them (and I don't share them every month) just when I have a decent selection of photos to round up. Mostly I used my Cricut to make the pages though a few of them are scrapbooking kits that I've re-purposed or rearranged to suit my needs and tastes.

      Thank you! I hope so; we do tend to look through old scrapbooks more and more as the boys age and I remind them of things we did when they were younger.

      Yes, I had to start consciously setting time aside for scrapbooking too as most of my time was spent blogging before.

Favorite TV Shows Growing Up in the 80's and early 90's

Do you remember the TGIF lineups on Friday nights? I can remember planning sleepovers and time with friends around TV Show lineups of our favorite shows... or else trying to set the VCR to record our favorite shows if we weren't going to be home. And through the years I had SO MANY favorites! Growing pains aired in 1985 which put me around age 8 and it stayed on the air until I was 15 or so; I'm pretty sure most people in my age group watched mostly for Kirk Cameron and all his antics.  I still have a soft spot for family sit-coms!  The Facts of Life aired when I was just 2  and stayed on the air until I was 11 so I'm sure the episodes I remember so fondly were either some of the later ones and then reruns shown later on when I was old enough to watch from the beginning. I think everyone would have loved an Edna Garret in their lives.   Benson another sitcom that began airing when I was just 2 and was done by the time I was 9 (another one I must have watched mainly through

Dollar Store Candy Cane Wreath

Today I am linking up with some fellow bloggers for a Dollar Store craft challenge.  I don't often participate in these challenges since I try to stay away from our local Dollar Stores; I find they can be quite dangerous for me!  I knew this was the perfect time to find some inexpensive holiday decorations though and I just LOVE how my wreath turned out!  I hope you stop by and see what the other hosts are sharing. Meet this month's co-hosts! Across the Blvd | Purple Hues & Me This Autoimmune Life | Our Unschooling Journey Domestic Deadline | Sew Crafty Crochet Stone Cottage Adventures | Sum of Their Stories | Two Chicks & a Mom I bought the candy cane wreath base and a few rolls of mesh (not knowing how many I'd need I bought waaay to many; I only ended up using one white roll and one red roll. Using some chenille stems I already had on hand I attached the mesh to the wreath base trying to alternate the white

Things That Make Me Laugh

Image
I loved the challenge of this week's list for our 26 lists link up.  I don't know about you but I really need to laugh more lately.  It's such a great stress reliever. 1.  Books-- I love a good funny book that makes me laugh out loud.  I haven't read one in a while but if you have any recommendations I'm all ears.  The last book I can remember making me laugh was the Un-Honeymooners. 2  The boys being silly. 3.  Watching shows like America's Funniest Videos or Family Feud. 4. My husband.  Most people don't realize it but he's actually pretty funny and often makes me laugh. 5.  Whenever my sisters/ family get together and we get to reminiscing (particularly if my Aunt Elaine is around) we end up laughing so hard at all the old family stories that we are all in tears by the end of the night.  It's fabulous. 6. Movies like Mom's Night Out, Christmas Vacation, and Grown Ups make me laugh out loud. 7.  When my boys were youn
