On a Roll!!! Challenge 10 Wrapped Up

Woo Hoo!!!! I can't believe I used this very sophisicated color scheme for a Cub Scout layout, but I loved how the colors worked together.

In this layout I especially love the very last picture.

Woo Hoo I'm Scrapping

I finally got another page done. I've been doing so many things other than scrapbooking. This was great because I did an exact copy, no thinking involved. Whee, I needed that.

Obviously I didn't have the exact paper, but I had fun stamping the "easter" letters to add a little umph.

I'm a bad scrapper

I can't believe how far I've gotten off the beaten path on the Scrap Sistas. I was so busy moving Griffin from one school to the next and prepare for my little "open house," scrapbooking has been put on the back burner. Maybe I'll get to it next week. I still have an album to complete about our Germany trip and oh yeah, the last year. Oy! I refuse to get stessed about it, because it's all for fun . . .right Tina. :) But, I do have several things I'd like to scrap. I keep looking at the challenges, loving them and then end up making a doll or something.

Great segway . . . here's Petal.

Bud's Here

Spring has arrived and Bud is ready for a new year. I've created this little guy with the first days of Spring in mind. He comes in his own sweet little box, but the best part is he's detachable via the magic of magnets.

Bud measures a staggering 2 ¾ “ tall and his little home is 4 ½ x 3 x 1 ¾. There’s a little magnet in his clothes and one on the box to hold him in place, when it’s time to chill out.

Impending Relaxation

My parents . . .Yes, my fabulous, wonderful, incredible, parents are taking my three little boys for 4 nights. I can not believe it. I have dreamed about being alone in the house with Joe for years and it's actually going to happen.

Now I know what you're thinking. But I'm thinking alone in the house with Joe to clean, organize, donate toys (lots of them). I can clean all day the it won't be trashed by 4:30. I might actually get a leg up. --Who came up with that saying? Leg up on what?-- Anyway, it's just darned exciting.

They are mutliplying like . . . Rabbits!

Isn't it great how my creativity kicks in at the last moment? Basically a week before Easter I come up with this cute little bunny design. Well, I'm trying to make a warren of rabbits to sell on Etsy before Easter. I figure even if they don't sell now some collector of rabbits will find them.

Major Changes in the Air

Griffin has expressed that he “hates schools.” This attitude started at the beginning of the 2008-2009 school year and has increased exponentially. Over the pass four months he has starting crying in the morning about school and throwing temper tantrums, if school is mentioned on Sunday evening. He walks down the driveway every morning head hanging, shoulders slumped, and feet dragging. As they say down on the farm, "Somethin' ain't right wit that boy."

To our surprise Griffin requested something we'd not really considered. He said we wanted to go to Will's school, our local elementary. Because he's hard-of-hearing (HH) he's attended another school system since pre-school. That's all about to change.

Joe and I decided it was time to mainstream this little guy . . . at least for a couple months. As of this morning the IEP (Individual Education Plan) states he will indeed attend Will's school. Such a huge change I can't wait to tell him tonight. I hope he's excited!
