All Caught Up With My Scrapbooking!

I am completely caught up with all my scrapbooking pages.  I had one final batch of pictures from December, January, February, and even the first few days of March com in.  I spent a weekend sorting them, labeling them and scrapbooking them.

It's kind of a weird feeling to be completely caught up to the "now" since I've been working on that goal for years.

    Well, that is a good thing about this quarantine. Getting stuff done! My sister in law used to scrapbook years ago and I would love looking through all of her albums.

    Such beautiful pages! I'm sure it feels great to be all caught up. I feel busier than ever with all the extra people around so I'm not getting much accomplished other than gardening, which I have to make time for.

      It really does feel great! We haven't had nice enough weather to garden just yet but I hope today is a sign of what's to some. My gardens need some attention!

    Your scrapbooking pages are so fun! I love the yummy in my tummy and pic of your son intently decorating his cake.

      That's my favorite! I think partly because I got to use pink (which is rare with boy pages) and partly because it is such a passion of his that watching him work always makes me smile.

    I am impressed! I am a solid two years behind with photos. Being caught up would be surreal. I would love to read a post on your favorite books to use for scrapbooking.

    These look amazing! Somewhere during this college year, I stopped scrapbooking, I need to pick it up again. You know I used to be a scrapbooking judge at our local fair and I would give all these blue ribbons!

      Thank you! I got into scrapbooking years and years ago when I was getting married, building a house, and then really began in earnest once I had kids. I haven't always kept up with it but I have always found my way back to it.

      It feels wonderful... but I admit I'm kind of at a loss as to what to do with my time now.

    Pretty certain that I will never know this feeling!! I am so behind. Your pages are lovely. I don't journal much (at all) on my pages so use the title to tell the story. And the date, and of course, the photos. Your titles are always so creative and cute. Love the bold lettering. If you get bored, just holler, and I'll send over some of my photos you can work on! XO

      I am definitely getting further and further away from journaling.. I really just don't like my penmanship so I try to avoid it.

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

Things That Make Me Laugh

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

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
