We were talking on TallyScrapper one day about the reaction you get from people when you tell them you’re a scrapbooker. Some said they get “the look.” This is either the look of “Why do you waste your time and money on such?” or the look of “I can’t believe her husband lets her spend [...]

Fed UP!
I’ve had it. I’m ready to move to Canada or anywhere else where I can get health care/insurance coverage that doesn’t cost me the majority of my paycheck every month. I’m a single mom-you know that. I have a 4-YO boy. We are healthy aside from my being overweight (I’m working on this.) and even still [...]

Cyber Crop Coming 01/30 Through 02/03 at TallyScrapper!
You’d think I work for TallyScrapper as much as I talk about it, but honestly I don’t. I just love it that much! I’ve found such a wonderful group of ladies -and gents!- and made some great friends. I can’t wait to meet them all at some point!
Get ready because Tally’s cyber crops are over-the-top fun! [...]

Post Secrets
Do you anticipate Sunday afternoons and the new Post Secrets Postcards as much as I do? Why on earth would something like this be so addictve? I feel like I’m looking through someone’s bedside table or snooping in their desk or something. Oh, and if you know a way to view the archives on this [...]

My Very First Layouts Versus Some of My Latest
The second page of this layout was a total scraplift, and now I can’t remember from which magazine, but I loved it. The pages I did after this one weren’t nearly as good in my opinion, because I was using my own ideas and as a beginner, they weren’t all that great. I had to get [...]

As If Time Had Not Passed
Saturday evening, despite the prediction of more snow, which didn’t amount to much, I met my friends for dinner as we’d planned. I was excited, but not nervous and not concerned at all that things wouldn’t go well. Jake and I were a little early and I hadn’t thought to ask what type of car [...]

Snow!!!
Finally, Jake got to see a real snowfall!! He had a blast yesterday making snow angels, throwing snowballs at me, and I helped him build two 12 inch snowmen who we left sitting on our deck furniture. Jake wanted to bring one of them inside, but I had to explain the whole snow melts thing. [...]

Wasn’t this blog supposed to be about scrapbooking?
I think it was at one time or another. I cannot believe how long it’s been since I’ve scrapped a layout. At least it seems like it’s been a long time. Let’s see, I think it was the 8th. Yes, that was the last day I did a layout for the Big Picture Scrapbook LOAD [...]

So Happy!
My friend, Lisa, and I finally got to talk today after 13 years! I felt like I could talk to her all night long and wish I could have because we have so much to catch up on. At first, we just chatted, small talk, but we eventually got around to talking about how what happened [...]

TallyScrappers Traveling to Iraq and Back!
Unfortunately, Christine’s (the owner of TallyScrapper) hubby will be returning to Iraq in a short while. Along with Christine, some of the Tally Gals are walking, rolling, running, and however you exercise to Iraq and back! That’s 14,000 miles that they need to cover this year! I’ve been inspired to join up after my good day at the [...]
