Life Happens...

I had a plan, I would have a second child. That took four years. Then there was the pregnancy and all the fear that came with it. Then the sleepless first year. In August of 2008 Liam would turn one, the clouds would disappear and the light would shine through right? Then it was MY year! Finally time to concentrate on my weight. Finally time to hang out more with Emily. Finally time to scrap more. Finally time to breathe a sigh of relief! Yep, in theory it was finally my time. But...life happens....and it's never perfect. Right now I'm learning how to balance my life and keep my sanity. For me, scrapping IS sanity...so my goal is to accomplish a little something each day.
This week I actually finished TWO projects! The first should have been done a couple of years ago. ;) I had posted about the Cosmo Cricket TSV from QVC. I finally dove into that amazing kit and started putting some things together. I'm still working on the photo cube but my "LOVE" banner is done!
I've also been working on a set of word cubes. I put some oddly shaped shelves in my dining room and they were itching for these little blocks!

That's it for now. This Saturday is "National Scrapbooking Day" so my daughter and I will scrapping all day. She looks forward to it every year but is disappointed that there are no shows on QVC! It won't matter, we always have fun. She wants to work on book with her and her brother and I quote "Mom, can I use some of the photos you have used in your 365?".. Ah, 7 going on 27. ;) My plan is to start working on the 365 album and work on a Hershey Park album as well. Enjoy the day!!

I love those blocks! You are extremely creative and talented. I think I have a general idea, but would mind sharing with me how you made those?

Hi Stephanie :)

They are really easy. First I painted them. The letters I bought at Michaels...they are wood but usually I use chipboard. On one side I added paper, on another photos. I inked the edges of all sides and then just went crazy with rub ons! I have an unhealthy addiction to rub ons so I have all different sayings and words. Now I need MORE! LOL

That's it! I may go over each side with Mod Podge just to seal everything up.

I think blocks are cool because you can use any word and any photos...they make great gifts too!
