summer scrapbooking

Jenny Larson put up a journaling prompt list for summer. Here are my answers for her list:

1. summer: sleeping in, staying up late, watching movies, swimming (pool. goggles, new suits, flip flops, new tricks), friends, football, gymnastics, house projects, flowers, trips, dog stuff)

2. senses: 

hear - crickets, lawn mowers, giggles, squeals, water

taste - watermelon, salsa, fresh fruit, frozen grapes, slurpees

smell - grilled meat, sunshine heads, sunscreen

touch - water, chilly night after hot day, warm pavement, wet morning grass

3. scrapbooks:

relationships, laziness, camping, ice cream/popsicles, girls nights, festivals

Ready for tomorrow!

My one new resolution is to make layouts based upon layouts in our write. click. scrapbook. daily posts.

Here is the first. It's based upon Amy's layout on Saturday. Go me!

it's nearly August

It's nearly August. Here is a peek at my new gallery layout! I am excited for this one. It was a good to get this story recorded. I have a feeling it will be one that my children face as they get to be mother's of busy kids. It will be fun to see the similarities in years and year.

The other exciting news is that the newbies at write. click. scrapbook. will be showcasing their talents in the new gallery. It so exciting!! They are amazingly talented. I can't wait for you to see fall in love as I have.

Happy Birthday! write. click. scrapbook.

Thank you for stopping by! I hope you are enjoying your birthday blog hop!

To help celebrate, we are all sharing something we love about write. click. scrapbook. This is a tricky one for me, as I spend about 30 hours a week with my baby and am at a bit of loss as for what to say, besides everything.

First, the team. For me, it is having the camaraderie of the team. Together we have babies, lose jobs, get jobs, say hello to babies, and goodbye to teens. We sometimes giggle so hard we snort. We laugh. We smile. As I read their blogs, and their pages, I am blown away by the quality of soul that they have. Amazing women who are so much more than their pages. I am honored to have them in my life.

The thing I love most about the write. click. scrapbook. site is that we create pages that are real. Pages that represent our real lives. Ups and downs. Pages that are artistic, but that remain true to their purpose of storytelling and memory preservation. I love that we are longtimers. I love that we are more concerned with your pages being authentic than we are with them being trendy. I love having a scrapbooking place to call home where the team is supportive and amazing, and where I can grow old. A place that celebrates our craft and hobby. And realizes that scrapbooking is a way of life and a way of living. I hope when you stop by, you feel our passion for scrapbooking, and are filled with a desire to make more or better pages.

This month, for our gallery, we paired up with a teammate. I was fortunate to get Karen Grunberg. The thing I love most about Karen's pages is how tenderhearted they are. I love that she fills boy pages with pink and butterflies. I love her design sense. And her titles. Her long journal-rific titles!

Here is a peek at my layout.

You can see my layout in the write. click. scrapbook. Perfect Pairings gallery.
