Happy Scrappin'

Good afternoon!  Wow, it's Thursday already!?  Hard to believe.  May 10th...  Where is this month headed?  Got any plans for interNational Scrapbooking Day?  Or is it week?  I'm honestly not sure... but I'm hoping to get some time to scrap tomorrow.  The kids have "field day" at school in the morning so that'll be fun.  Perhaps I can sneak out tomorrow night for some mom time scrapbookin'. 

I'm having a riot on my Alphabetize Me 2012 book!  Only 3 letters yet to go!  I've loved the suggestions for words that have been given to me on my Facebook page, what a hoot.  The most recent to make me laugh out loud being the suggestion of "naked" for N.  HA!  Let's just say, I didn't go that route but it made me smile.

Hope all is well for you!  Happy Scrappin!

Y!

I must admit, "Y" didn't come easy for me!  I tossed it out there on Facebook and got some help, as I often do :)  A friend suggested "youthful" and I liked it!  This page was made using odds and ends paper/embellishments. 
Always a kid at heart!

In Rememberance

 Gramma with Molly

 Molly, Dad, me and Gramma

 at my sister's wedding where Gramma was matron of honor nearly 2 years ago

a few Thanksgivings ago

We surrounded my "Gramma" last Friday as she breathed her last.  Today is her funeral.  Just looking back through some scrapbooked memories...

X is for Xtras

kit : Shabby Kitchen by Jessica Edwards

Ohhh, how I wish Jessica Edwards were still in business!  She had such adorable kits!

Here are some random facts about me, some "xtras" as I call 'em :)  I keep plugging away at my Alphabetize Me 2012 pages and it's so fun!  Hope you are having fun keeping up with them as I go along!  More pages are posted on the orange clothesline's FB page so check it out!

C is for Clothesline

I thought you'd get a kick outta these, with the CLOTHESLINE and all :)  hehehehehe - I had fun making them.  Using the kit "Backyard Bliss" by the Lilypad.  The letterset is also from the Lilypad, it's called "Clipped." 

Pretty simple pages but they say it all!  Continuing on with my ALPHABETIZE ME 2012!  Check out the orange clothesline's FB page for more!

"U"

I would honestly rather pluck out my eyebrows right now than go grocery shopping, know what I mean?  Talk about unmotivated!  I have my list made and coupons clipped, I just need to do it but can't seem to get up and go!  Sheesh!  I wanna just sit and scrapbook ALL day! 

Speaking of which, I've been having fun scrappin' when I can!  I've had some recent doctor's appointments for my "chronic" headaches that have been keeping me busy so that kinda bites... but I want to get to the bottom of it.  I had an MRI this week as well as my first ever physical therapy. 

Enough about that mumbo jumbo, I wanted to show you this page that I'm kinda excited about, for the letter "U."  I had fun journaling this one!  I repeated the journaling, but in a different fashion.  I wanted it to have a "newspaper" kind of feel, does it?  Let me know what you think!  See even more of my pages on my FB page for the orange clothesline!

my Uggs, they are so ME!  Just as my ALPHABETIZE ME 2012 book should be! :)

more ALPHABETIZE ME 2012 goin' on

Here are some more ALPHABETIZE ME 2012 pages I've been having fun creating! 

I was asked the other day if these pages were from a kit.  NOPE, I've created each of these pages on my own - and had fun in doing so!  And this wasn't an idea I stole from someone, I came up with it one day when I was relaxing with my kids and hubby around, just putzin'.  I rarely have scrapbook pages about me.  And what a fun way to celebrate who I am than an alphabet book about what makes up ME!?  So from scratch, this is ME, alphabetized :) 

I hope you are enjoying the ride to learn more about me!  Some of the letters have been tricky to come up with words, in fact, I still have many without words yet... but I'll get there. 

The beauty is there is no rush. 

FUN stuff, something different and FUN, a rewarding scrapbook guaranteed!  Not just for me, but my family too.
