Oh Snap!

Here is my first layout using products from the new Pink Paislee Fetching collection.  I also used a piece of paper from the captivating collection as my background (the woodgrain paper.)  I love love love these new paper designs.  So easy to work with and mix with my photos.

Now…if this looks crooked it probably is.  I have decided once and for all that my Making Memories trimmer cuts at a slight angle.  I have to really watch the way I hold the paper to keep it straight and frankly I don’t have a lot of time for that.  When the paper is slightly crooked then I end up placing everything else slightly off and when I photograph it all the flaws come out!  UGHHHH! I might be back on the hunt for a trimmer that cuts straight EVERYTIME!  Sorry MM.  Love your products but unfortunately I just might have to “shelf” the trimmer.

This photo is from our trip last summer to King’s Dominion Theme Park.  My son was seriously so scared and really wanted to get off this kiddie roller coaster.  The photo is terrible because I cropped it close so we could really see the expression on his face.  I think he is close to “loosing his cookies” during this turn.  Since Oh Snap is something he says every now and then I decided to use it as the title!  Overall I think this layout needs something else but it is so crooked now I am going to just slide it in the album and move on…LOL!

I know it is Valentine’s Day and I should be sharing a “lovey dovey” layout or project but the truth is I don’t have any!  I didn’t even make any handmade valentine’s this year.  I am awful!   But….I do hope you are enjoying your weekend with all your “sweeties.”

Wow!

Seriously! How in the world does a month go by before I get back to this blog?  Ya know…..ever since I joined Facebook it seems like I use that to catch up with friends old and new.  I wonder if anyone reads blogs anymore  :-)    It just seems like everyone reads all the status updates from their friends on Facebook each day and then they move on.

So what is going on in my life?  Lots…..here are a few tidbits:

1.) my son is learning to read.  I mean really READ.  I hardly even have to help him right now.  He is sounding through all the words really well!  I am so proud of him!  He is a little math whiz too!

2.) my husband is going to turn 44 in a few days (the 15th) and we are both talking alot about the future and just how old we are starting to feel…LOL!

3.) my 20 year high school reunion is this year and I will be helping organize and brainstorm ideas with a bunch of other girls.  Anyone have any fun ideas??

4.) my motto that “change is good” is still true!  We are taking our business in a new direction and it is scary and exciting at the same time.

5.) I am just waiting for the weather to get a little warmer so I can start walking / jogging.  It is finally time to lose the weight I have added over the past 3-4 years.  I am hoping 3-4 months is all I need to get rid of it.  Wish me luck!

Well I think that is enough sharing for the night.  I hate blogging without photos so here is a quick one of me goofing around with Connor! ( he loves taking photos with the MAC photobooth)

Talk to everyone soon!
