August already???

So, it August. I cannot believe it is here, and soon a new little one be at my house too... Just six more weeks of knockedupedness left. I am going to be kicking in the high gear nesting soon... I am hoping to get the office aka my scrap space redone. Paint, set up my new table, (which we already have) and maybe, just maybe score some of the cool mo Expedite shelves from IKEA. Only problem there is that its as much to ship them as the stinking shelves cost! So... we'll see...

So, since I like stressing myself out, I am also starting a 31 day journal. I did this last August after seeing Toya and Adrienne's. The idea they have is simple... You scrap a page each day, for 31 days. I think it will be neat to see the things I was doing one year ago and then compare them at the end of this month. Anyone want to join me??? The idea behind the pages is quick and simple... no HOF stress here folks...


Here is today's page: Photo courtesy of Karla. Who made a sweet LO with it. (its on her blog) And she made me cry. Her and Ronda both!!











And here are my pages for Ronda's Circle Journal. "The Magic of Life" A special note... I did NOT use green and blue, and I did NOT sand a single photo. The tick in my face is sure to go away soon right???















And here is a LO from my trip to Denver. We all made Amber give us a mini class in the "Amber style". I embraced my inner Hambly, and that is a bad, bad, thing. I must not purchase Hambly until after the baby is born... saving money is goooood... these are the mantras I must force myself to say as I drool over the website. Amber was a great teacher, and I am glad I got to be in her first "class". Seriously talented folks. I mean, she even inspired me to use a bird on my LO! (SHOCK!!) And yes, that is a mannequin (thanks to Tannis for the proper spelling of that word. You Spelling Bee Queen you!!!) I am with. No need to fear...

  5. let's see here...i live pretty close to an ikea. would it be cheaper for me to just deliver the shelves? :) how cool would that be?

    your layouts look great and i am seriously considering the 31 day journal, but would have to start in sept. hmmm....maybe i should make a miniBOOK...i've never made one.

    hope you are doing great!

    love,

  6. Oh my goodness that is a bird on your LO *gasp*...was is a blog post once where the bird was shot down from all it's glory - LOL?!
    The other layouts look great!! I would love to do a 31 day journal - but I already have a little project for August :) Nothing major - just the type of thing that takes me lots of time :)

  11. Also...
    I used that quote by Marcel Proust in a CJ I was in with 8 friends. I LOVE that quote. It pretty much sums up the reason why I scrap.
