A little behind

I really love digital scrapbooking but it seems everything gets in the way these days and there is no time for it. I am so behind in my pages, but trying to catch up. I am still working on Spring break 2008. Halloween just passed and now I am even more behind. BUT what should happen to me - the worst thing ever- my camera broke!!! i have no idea how I bumped it- but I did and it is now broken. So I am not taking nearly as much photos as I usually would- so this is a fine time to catch up!

All done

We finally put the play structure together for the kids. I cannot believe how many parts there were. It took me almost a full afternoon to sort all the screws into their own little areas. We then spread the 200 pieces of wood out- across the entire yard! Then it took us 4 days of working together to assemble the thing. I tell you I thought Ike@ products were bad. But we are finally done- the girls love it and that' s all that matters! I hope that the sun actually stays out for the next few weeks so they can enjoy it- the days are already getting shorter, don't take the sun away!

Disney Photos!

Yahoo, I have finished scrapbooking all my Disney Photos. I still have to do the Santa Monica ones but at least these are done. What fun it was too...

My grid stage!

I am so far behind in scrapbooking but feeling a little uninspired. Not sure why as I have so many wonderful photos to scrap. i am just getting to Xmas though and it is so hard to scrap Xmas in May- what with birds chirping, flowers smelling lovely and weeds waiting to be dug up! I am trying to just put photos on paper and then move on. So it seems I am at my grid stage- I like grids as you can fit lots of photos on a page. I need to be done 2007 so I can start in on this years photos!

I need a holiday

I am so amazed at how fast holidays fly by. We went away for 4 days over spring break and it flew by, but we knew we had a 10 day holiday coming up in April. We were so looking forward to it- and it was a fantastic holiday! But now it is over! I can't stand that we look forward to holidays for months in advance and then poof they are over. Anyway Cali was amazing - the weather was great there were many memories to be had, The girls LOVED Disneyland and 5 days was perfect. Then 5 days in Santa Monica was great, relaxing and awesome. Oh- I need a vacation.

Violin

My DD has taken up violin- her choice. I cannot believe how good she is. She has been playing since Sept 07 and I was fully prepared for the squeaking and awful sounds that might come form learning a new instrument. Much to my surprise there is the odd squeak, but she is amazing. She had her first recital on Valentines Day and I thought for sure she would be nervous- no way. She played the song and it was perfect!

Memories of summer

I am still scrapping memories of last summer and am really looking forward to this summer. It has been a very rainy winter and I am not usually one to complain about the rain- but oh my gosh-enough! We have booked our holiday to Anaheim (wink, wink) for April- but that seems like an eternity away. I am trying to catch up on all my photos so that when I take 1000 photos in DL I will be able to come home and scrap them right away. I hate nothing more than waiting 6 months to scrap stuff and then I have forgotten all the great thinks I was going to write about! So I am in August 2007 right now. I discovered MAC books too- which are the greatest books- I love them- if you have a mac and iphoto it is the easiest thing to scrap- chose a book - flow your photos and 5 days later a coffee table book is delivered to your door- WOW! Anyway here are some pages from last summer of Galiano Isalnd- what a great place to go.
