Another oldie and a couple of cute valentines

I am still battling sickness in the house...this time it is me again. Needless to say, there hasn't been a lot of scrapping energy, but today I decided to scrap a Valentine page for each of my kids. Usually I try to be a little more unique for each of them, but today I just felt like making a few changes here and there, but otherwise doing the same LO for each one. One thing I LOVE about Valentine's LO's is the excuse to use PINK in my boys' LO's, LOL!!!!!

I do have one other LO to post. I finished this one earlier this week, but didn't get a chance to post it here. This is from 2000, when Noah was about 15 months old. I used to let him sit in the kitchen floor and play with the pots and pans. This day I had picked him up, frying pan in hand, to put him in his high chair to eat and when I looked back at him, he was strumming the pan like a banjo...even had his ear bent in as if he was tuning the thing.

Hopefully I will be back in the swing soon. Have a great week and thanks for looking!

Going WAYYYYY back in the scrapping time machine

Just a quick LO today from photos taken in October 2000.

I'm back...

after a crazy couple of weeks, I am back with a few LO's. I have had so much going on, with company, sick kids, etc, that little scrapping has been done, thus the lack of posts here, LOL. Here are the few I have done:


Journaling reads: In November of last year, you asked about getting Harry Potter to read. You were nervous about trying it when you realized that there were no pictures at all, but you had been reading early chapter books for quite a while and you told me that you would just picture the story in your imagination.

We bought the book and a new love began for you. For the next few days, you would carry your book with you everywhere. You were reading it before bed each night and even in the car. You were having a little trouble with some of the words (especially names) and concepts, but you still seemed to understand what was happening in the story.

After a couple of weeks you began to slow down with your reading. You started reading more of your other chapter books and only read Harry once in a while. We thought that maybe it was just too much and that you had lost interest, but after all of the Christmas excitement died down, you picked Harry Potter back up with determination. Once again you were reading it daily In January you hit the half-way point in the book and you became more and more excited about finishing it.

As February approached, you could see the end in sight! “”Four more chapters, Mama!”...then three, then two...until the night you came running out of your room, book in hand, screaming, “I finished!!!”.

I also managed to finish the kit that I used for my LO about my Nana, so in her honor I am offering this kit as a freebie. All I ask is that if you download it you please leave me a comment and I would LOVE to see anything that you have made with it, so send me a link. I will offer it for the next week, so if you would like to get it, click here now.



Hope you enjoy it!
