What Does Your Birthday Mean???

>> Wednesday, February 18, 2009 – FOB2Y

From SSD's Blog:

You Are a Revolutionary

You have many talents, and you are great at sharing those talents with others.

Most people would be jealous of your clever intellect, but you're just too likeable to elicit jealousy.

Progressive and original, you're usually thinking up cutting edge ideas.

Quick witted and fast thinking, you have difficulty finding new challenges.

Your strength: Your superhuman brainpower

Your weakness: Your susceptibility to boredom

Your power color: Tangerine

Your power symbol: Ace

Your power month: May

Wow, things have been so busy around here that it's been a while since I've posted new layouts. My designers have been cranking out some amazing designs the past few weeks and I've gotten a lot of scrapping done. I've also had a couple of new layouts published! I'm very excited about that!

First up, this layout, Milkshake, using 2 Straws by Traci Reed, Dani Mogstad, and Shawna Clingerman, and DJB Christine C by Darcy Baldwin will be in the March 09 issue of Artisan.

Then, I have another layout, using Always and Forever by Christy Lyle that will appear in the March 09 issue of The Daily Scrapper.

Now, onto the layouts. First up are some pages using the gorgeous designs of collabs featuring Scrapkitchen Designs.

FOB2Y

>> Thursday, February 12, 2009 – FOB2Y

How fun this is!!!

Your Word is "Love"

You see life as possibility to form deep connections with a few people.

Relationships are the center of your world, and you always take time to bond with those you love.

You are caring and giving. You enjoy helping those you love.

And when it comes to romantic love, you feel passionately ... even in a very long term relationship.

What's Your Word?

FOB2Y-Birthday Edition

>> Thursday, February 5, 2009 – FOB2Y

So today we're supposed to blog a bit about a memorable birthday. All birthdays are special around here...we love to celebrate together. Because my birthday is on kind of an awkward date (July 5), we sometimes end up doing unusual things. Last year, the 4th of July parade we always go to just happened to be on the 5th...so of course we went! It was a blast, even though it did rain for much of the parade. To me, the most important part of all is being with family. :)

Fun Challenge

>> Tuesday, January 27, 2009 – Family

Okay...so I was challenged by Amy to do this super fun game! You go into your photo files, find your 6th file, and the 6th pic in the file...and blog about it. So here goes.

This is baby Ryan...September 2003. He was 6 months old and such a little joy. This is is first ever bedroom--we were still in Burlington. I loved this room. He was almost ready to sit up and loved using the Boppy for sitting and propping, like he is here. I love this photo because he just looks so deep in thought! Memories....

I'm choosing to challenge:
Annie
Becca
Leila
Shawna
