Golf

My husband absolutely loves playing golf. At the same time he hates to play golf. He gets so frustrated when playing. I asked him one time after he had gotten frustrated after hitting a bad shot "Why do you play golf if it gets you so aggravated?". His response was simple "I love the game". So I guess he loves to hate it :)

This is my entry for The ScrapRoom Blog's November JumpStart Sketch Challenge. This is the sketch that I had to follow.

My entry for the November "Squares" Layout Challenge at Lasting Memories Scrapbooking

Hi everyone!!! I've got my layout finished. I'm going to be entering it in the November "Squares" Challenge at Lasting Memories Scrapbooking. My daughter has quickly become the "Selfie" Queen. She will be a teenager next month so I guess it's about the right time for the selfies to start. :)

I haven't scrapbooking in around 5 years. I've missed it so much. It feels so good to be back at it.

Got my scrappin groove back!!!!

It's been WAY too long since I've been here. I kind of lost my scrapbooking groove for a few years. I've found it again though. I just finished my first layout!!! I'm trying to enter it in a scrapbooking layout challenge but having some snags getting it uploaded :( I have been crafting in the last few years though. I've fallen in love with mixed media. I love working in my art journal and making canvas art. My daughter does too and she has made some amazing chalk pastel drawings. I have to familiarize myself with blogging again and as soon as I remember how to upload pictures on here I will share some of our work with you. Just trying to get back into the swing of things with the computer. I have to get a new computer. This one is so old that nearly everything I open says my browser isn't supported or videos won't play or some pages simply won't load. So I'm keeping my eyes open for hopefully a good deal on Black Friday for on a new home computer. Well I guess that's all for now. Everyone have a great day!!! :)

Been a long time since I blogged :)

Well I guess it's time to kick this blog back into use. I've kind of lost the scrapbooking mojo. It's been a couple of years since I've done a layout. I miss it but at the same time I don't. Jacey has hit the age where she doesn't want her picture taken obsessively like I used to. No activity could go on without a camera in her face so I guess I'm to blame for her hatred of having her picture taken. :0) One day I'm sure she will appreciate the pictures I did take of her but for now she doesn't. The camera comes out and the eyes start rolling and the shewing starts. So now I only snap the important stuff and her being goofy. She always willing to have her picture taken if she is getting to act like a goofball. :)

Anyway my new hobby is sewing. I've always dabbled in sewing here and there. I could sew a hem if needed or repair a tear but I had never really sat down and decided "hey I'm going to make a purse today" until now. Thanks to Jody, his mom and sisters I'm the proud new owner of a brand spanking new Brothers sewing machine. Thank you all for the wonderful birthday present. Makes turning 40 alittle better.

I've sewn a few simple tote bags for Jacey to put her lunchbox in. I've also made a fall purse. It turned out alot better than I thought it would. Yesterday I made a case for my Kindle Fire HD 8.9. I really love the way it turned out.

So now that I've caught the sewing bug what will my next adventure be???

Some New Layouts

Here's some new layouts that I've done recently. It's been awhile since the scrappy bug has bitten me. I've been into altering picture frames and working on mini albums too long. It's time to get back into layouts. That what I've spent all this money on these scrapping supplies for right??? :)
