Inspiration Anyone

I thought this was a cool challenge - The challenge is to essentially pick your top 5 songs that represent something in your life, invoke emotion, or remind you of someone/something significant.

Things of Interest

I spend a lot of time surfing the net, reading articles and genereally looking for inspiration.



Well here is a list of things I found today that I found to be inspiring:


Have you checked out the Random Challenge Generator at CK?



Do you have friends that tell you they don't have time to scrapbook? I know I do, some people just don't get it... anyway I found this site called smilebox You put your pictures in and whoala done!



I found this one to be a great post about using fake flowers instead of purchasing the $$$ scrapbooking type!

Happy Anniversary Baby!

Yesterday, was our 10-year wedding anniversary. We took the kids to some friends house to play while we spent a nice quiet evening at home by ourselves. DH and I made dinner together, watched some TV and just snuggled. It was a good thing! When we went to go pick the kids up they had made a cake and frosted it for us, it was so sweet! It was a good night!

I've Completed a Sketch

I should probably start by saying that typically I sketch my layouts by hand. I've long since been a fan of Becky Fleck and I just keep thinking... I wonder how she does that... Well, I've been playing with a bunch of different software this evening and I'm thinking I need to do some more research but I was so excited I decided to make do with what I have and forge ahead. Here is my sketch!

If you decide to use it please post a link in the comments so I can come and check it out.

Catching Up

Well today I'm just doing some catchup and getting organized. I'm working on my sketching style and finding a program that works for me to create sketches in. Once I get that figured out I'll be posting my final sketches right here on my blog... so if you don't see one today check back!

It's Been How Long???

I cannot believe that it has been over a year since my last post!

There has been a lot going on and it seems like it has been that long since I've seriously done any scrapbooking or creating of any kind. So I've decided to search the web for some inspiration and get back to it.

You know how sometimes you see things and you wonder...hmmm I wonder what that is all about and then you somehow stumble on it one day and think... Geeze Luis... I'm such a dork!

Well that happened to me tonight. In August I bought an Ipod Nano and I'm happy to say that I am addicted to PODCASTS! I honestly thought I would only use it for music but I've discovered a whole new world!!!

So I'm out there searching for downloadable content to play on my ipod and I stumble across a whole bunch of sites that have RSS feeds. Now at work I have Office 2007 so I'm able to add feeds to Outlook but at home I don't so I was copy and pasting all of these links ino an email to send them to myself out work so I could subscribe to all of them tomorrow.

Then I noticed on one of the pages that the feeds button in my IE tool bar was orange... never noticed that before... so I thought hmmm what the heck I'll click on it... Then I realized that there was a subscribe button... so of course I click on that... then my favorites menu pops open and low and behold there is a RSS Feeds tab that I never notice.... Right about now all sorts of light bulbs start going off in my head... *ding, ding, ding... we have a winner* so I spent most of the evening going through all of my bookmarks and checking for feeds... which is how I ended up here again!

So I'm super pumped and I believe it is time for me to clean up my scraproom and get reacquainted with all my tools and create something!
