Cards and Scrapbooking Pages I Made in February

Technically these first three cards were made at the end of January but I didn't get to share them in January's post.  I worked on some fun folds and using a few card sketches I received from a fellow card maker. 











I started putting together our Disney trip pages... it's not nearly as fun when there aren't many people in them and we didn't meet any characters to get photos taken with them.  

You'll see lots of overlapping photos because I made pages for Evan's, Alec's, and our family album for each day of our trip. I was just so happy to get the whole trip done and now I can start on the Universal Studios pages. 




The blank box is for journaling.

    Such beautiful pages to showcase fun memories! I also love the cards- the Life is Sweeter one is my favorite but they're all really good.

    You are so smart to do this! I remember taking pictures and thinking I'd know where and when. Obviously, I did not!

      I am pretty fanatical about labeling the backs of photos (that aren't IN scrapbooks obviously) too.

      Thank you! My youngest son had a stuffed otter from a zoo trip that he slept with forever so I just KNEW I had to use this stamp for his card.

    Such a great assortment of cards and pages you made in February! Lots of beautiful Valentine's Day cards and love the way you used the heart frame die cuts!
    We had an internet outage for a few days and not having access to the internet I finally started sorting through photos on my desktop and I'm determined to go through all the pictures! What a task that will be but I'm hoping I will make some photo books when I got everything sorted.

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

Image
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 mai...

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 ...

Favorite Moments and Memories of 2024

Image
 Oh 2024... it was a challenging year for sure but we had so many fabulous moments and memories. I fully admit that many of my favorite memories this year have no pictures-- like Easter dinner with the family, Alec's acceptance day at JWU, etc. But I am more interested in being present these day then I am in getting the exact perfect photo. In January  we started the year with a big family breakfast out to lunch before my sister and nephews headed home. It's an awful picture but we were all laughing because my mom tried 4 times to get us all in there! Then a week or so later my husband and I did get to go on our cruise (we weren't sure right up until the last minute since my mother in law was in the hospital just before we left).  Roatan Grand Cayman We celebrated Alec's 18th birthday nearly a full month late in  February but he didn't mind. Evan got his license in February. And we checked out a new hiking trail. Alec presented his Senior Culinary Arts Project (SC...

Share 4 Somethings in December

Image
Tomorrow is the last Saturday of the month and time for the Share 4 Somethings link up with Jennifer. We're flying home (if all goes well with our connections we should be home tomorrow morning-- though I am REALLY worried about the "adjustment" the airline company made so we now have a much shorter connection time than we planned!) so this wrap up is pretty much all about our trip to Hawaii!  Once again we'll be sharing some things we've  loved and/or disliked, accomplished, some things we've improved upon and/or that need improvement, and noticed. Loved/Disliked:  We LOVED our Hawaii trip but we really disliked those long flights/travel days! sunset Maui top of Haleakala summit; Haleakala National park road to Hana Whales spotted on our snorkel tour, Maui botanical gardens; Maui Both our rentals had beautiful sunset views! volcano national park; Hawaii the volcano began erupting less than 2 days before we got there we hiked out to a green sand beach touring ...

Favorite Outfits from 2024

Image
 I thought I'd do something a little different this year and share some of my favorite outfits from each month of the year.  I got to wear some fun and bright spring/summer clothes on our cruise in January.   Then it was back home to sweater and pants.  It was well into April before I finally started packing away winter clothes and brought out some spring stuff.  But May found me mostly wearing long sleeves and pants.. still..  June finally warmed up and I wore everything-- shorts, skirts, dresses, capri pants, t-shirts, tank tops, etc.  July was pretty warm too August was really rainy and cooled off fast by the end of the month September started cooling off so I pulled out more pants  October's weather was all over the place with everything from frost and freezing temps to weather in the 80's.  November was kind of all over the place too weather-wise.  December really started to feel like winter again
