What I've Been Doing Lately

Other than being under the weather and taking care of either John or Steve who have been experiencing ickiness and owies in one form or another I've been scrapping!
Surprise? I thought not. Hee hee

So here is some of the happy things I've created most recently.

This page was created to showcase Mac, a cat that I owned previously.
The hidden journaling (behind the large tag) talks about how unique of a character Mac was and how heartbroken I was to have to leave him behind with a friend when I moved.


This page was created to use up some scraps from my stash and to play with a hand held sewing machine that I was given a while ago.
I started applying the scraps to the background paper before I really knew what I was going to do with the page - then when going through my pictures I came across the large one of John - and since green is his favorite color it was fitting that I do a page about him.


This page is a direct lift from a magazine: Scrapbooks, etc. The Aug/Sept '06 issue - Jamie Waters' "Little Fish" page. I created it for an online challenge that was to do a monochrome page with light blue as the main color and the twist was "out my backdoor" in some sort of interpretation. I used a white pen to write in part of the lyrics of Creedence Clearwater Revival's song, Looking Out My Backdoor, in the line underneath the photo. While working on the page for the challenge the song just kept coming to my head so I thought I'd go ahead and add it.


There is a lot more than those, but I thought I'd just share a small bit.
I've also been gathering items for a Mad Tea Party next month and I'll be working on making all kinds of decorations and party favors for that.
I've also been working on helping a friend with some of her wedding accouterments, which I enjoy doing very much!

The Scrapbook Expo is next Friday, so it will be fun to see what comes of that.

Lastly, John and I went to Disneyland for our anniversary a couple of weeks back, we had a wonderful time and enjoyed ourselves immensely!
Here is one of my favorite pics of the day.


Now I've gotta run...I need to pack up some items, I'm going to a friend's house for some scrappin' time!
I hope everyone is well!
Until next time, take care! Sending out lots of happy vibes to everyone!!
