Prompt # 5

Craft Room in REAL Time:

Sorry about the stamps picture being on its side. This is how my craft room looks. I love that everything is right there easy at hand and I can always just close the door when company
comes by.

Prompt # 4

The Best Laid Plans ............

Ever make a decision and then have a lot of things get in the way of your good intentions? That's what happened to me.
I was having company come over so I got everything out to make some special cookies. Then I thought, "I really need to find a better way to "celebrate" than with food. So I put everything back in the cupboards.
When my friend arrived she handed me her "out-of-this-world" peanut butter fudge. It is so good and I wanted to be a good host so ---what could I do but serve it and, of course, have a piece myself.
Shortly after she left, a neighbor came by with, you guessed it, another batch of peanut butter fudge. She used her mother's recipe--the one I remember growing up. YUM!
Once again, I have to be a good host so I had another piece.
I've thought about freezing some but I haven't done it yet. You never know when more company will show up and I'd want to serve them something.

Favorite Things; A Work in Progress

Some of my favorite things at the moment are:
spending time with my friends,
having gotten to know my mom as a kid (she has Alzheimer's and she's back to her childhood--which I am enjoying right along with her--VERY different from the woman I grew up with),
scrapbooking and card making,
reading,
and working with a few kids at a school
AND, oh yes, trying to find other ways to celebrate, other than CHOCOLATE. Not sure that is possible, but I'm working on it!

Prompt # 2

At the bottom is the photo I choose for this prompt.
On the top is the page I made from that photo. We got 6 inches of snow on the first full day of spring this year.
I cut a blackout snowflake for the journaling appearing on the front and I made a card-like item, with a little girl peeking out the window, for my hidden journaling.

Doggie Page

I used Create a Critter Cricut cartridge to help make this page.

Prompt # 1

Here are two pictures I definitely want to scrapbook later. Right now I'm really busy making invitations to a bridal shower and a retirement party. Hopefully, this way, I can record something faster than scrapbooking and it will enable me to remember when I do have to time to put it together.

The first photo I took at school on, obviously, St Patrick's Day. Kelsey is being her usual self when a camera is pointed her way and her kids don't even notice as it's part of their life with her. Lucky kids!

Suzy and Kelsey came for a visit. Suzy still gets car sick so it's a hard 20 minute ride for her. Once she's here, though, she's her usual "puppy" self.

WELCOME
