Time certainly does fly.<br />
<br />
I saw this on Facebook and it really spoke to me. I need to stop waiting to enjoy my life. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-B2Qy-16PEyY/U6wmsFXpmKI/AAAAAAAAVpE/RHbHlLxBASY/s1600/1554625_10152261234848877_3672917102651390347_n.jpg" height="314" width="320" /></div>
<br /> Then I saw this <a href="http://www.thehandmadehome.net/2014/06/how-to-decorate-fall-in-love-with-your-home/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">post</a> on Instagram from The Handmade Home. OMG how this spoke to me. About taking your home and loving it, living in it, enjoying it, making it your own. Owning it. And for me, there is just too much stuff in my home. I need less stuff. So, day by day, a little at a time, I am packing up the clutter and giving it a new home. And eventually I won't have the clutter. But I am going to love my home and enjoy my home while I am tackling the issues within - because - really, I have no other choice. There is no other option for me - I need to love my home - it's mine - I spend my days and my nights here and I want, want, want to be happy here. If something is not working for me in my house I am going to change it. Like taking the doors off the master bathroom and closet and replacing them with curtains. It might not be to everyone's taste but for me - it works. And so I am off to enjoy my home.<br />
<br />
Happy Thursday. ~Chris<br />

Time really does fly doesn't it? I spend a weekend in Naples visiting kids and grandkids and celebrating Nicole's birthday. I didn't get to see Brent as he was off to Universal for Grad Night. Spend the night at Nicole's place. Brandon brought Bella over and Nana watched the girls while Nicole and Luke celebrated Nicole's birthday.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I usually DVD shows so that I don't miss them on regular TV and I spent part of today catching up. I REALLY like the show Believe.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The other show that I am really enjoying is Private Lives of Nashville Wives. I am usually not into reality TV but I am liking this show. I love country music so I think that is part of the appeal for me.<br />

I spent some time this morning cleaning off my desk - it is no where near to being done but I made a bit of progress and found a bit of space to do some scrapbooking on. I also completed my Spanish II homework for Tuesday.<br />
<br />
Happy Sunday! ~Chris<br />

It's only me and I don't want to eat the same thing every night for a week so I buy frozen meals and quick and easy dinner ideas instead of cooking. Last night I made my Mom's Best Meatloaf, Special Potatoes and french green beans with almonds for a special friend. It's nice to have a special person or event to cook for. Dinner was awesome, the company was awesome and I have a refrigerator full of leftovers and a whole peach cobbler pie. After dinner we rented Saving Mr. Banks. What a great movie. I love Disney World and all things Disney and after watching Saving Mr. Banks I want to go and rent (or buy) Mary Poppins.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

On another note, I have this itchy, bumpy rash on my hands, arms and chest. I have no idea what it might be - I haven't changed laundry detergents or soap. And of course, the more I scratch it the more it itches and then bleeds and hurts.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I need to go to Wal-Mart and the library in a while so I will try and get some medicated, anti-itch cream. Nothing I have here at the house is helping.<br />
<br />
Happy Saturday! -Chris<br />

I can't determine whether I have something to say or if I just want a place to post my craftiness - but I am going to say some stuff and post some stuff.<br />
<br />
The older I get the worse my sleeping gets. I get tired early in the evening and go to read in bed awhile. It always takes me some time to get to sleep and I feel like I am tossing and turning all night. So, I did some research and found the Fitbit. Now amidst all my other stuff to do I am also trying to eat better and exercise, so the Fitbit works for all these things. It is a wristband that keeps all sorts of data that gets synced to your computer or phone. Read more about it <a href="https://www.fitbit.com/store" target="_blank">here</a>. So, I got my Fitbit yesterday and wore it last night while sleeping and here's my stats:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3bx87CDsSz26XC16vmEy795PKQCL61NjyqHh6pN9d5brLTmI15DrHDOM1IyWnqU989hyE05BGWpn4F0XWsRy4cMFWakMNW289l8lcDSPb0Hh6k1bmQKqVDREiJbRoZLtpi4UP1TyvRKKV/s1600/sleep+040314.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3bx87CDsSz26XC16vmEy795PKQCL61NjyqHh6pN9d5brLTmI15DrHDOM1IyWnqU989hyE05BGWpn4F0XWsRy4cMFWakMNW289l8lcDSPb0Hh6k1bmQKqVDREiJbRoZLtpi4UP1TyvRKKV/s1600/sleep+040314.JPG" height="276" width="320" /></a></div>
I was awake 30 times - no the wonder I don't feel rested when I get up in the morning. I am hoping this Fitbit along with better food choices and some exercise will help me feel more rested.<br />
<br />
Happy Friday! -Chris<br />

Each day for May there will be a new prompt all centered around the game Clue. It is day 5 and I haven't done one layout that went with a prompt but I did get five layouts done this weekend. I guess it doesn't matter what gets me scrapbooking.<br />
<br />
I get a couple of kits each month in the mail and one of my favorites is from <a href="http://www.scrapbookgeneration.blogspot.com/">Scrapbook Generation.</a> You get enough supplies to make five double page scrapbook layouts including sketches. I usually buy a few more sheets of patterned paper and some embellishments so that I can make a few more pages. This is the kit I worked with this weekend. It is called Down by the Shore and is by Fancy Pants. I made two double page layouts - the first one is Bailey at the beach. She went with a friend of her Dad's and it looks like she had a great time.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ndf8RfwK1oM/UYbTiqgJglI/AAAAAAAAASs/F8okU00Befo/s1600/DSCN4101.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="158" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ndf8RfwK1oM/UYbTiqgJglI/AAAAAAAAASs/F8okU00Befo/s320/DSCN4101.JPG" width="320" /> </a></div>
The second double page layout is of Nicole's end of school year party at Sun n Fun Lagoon. I think she was in the eighth grade.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-AKEL8uBOdNs/UYbWqUz1XuI/AAAAAAAAAS4/vvMKzUagCPs/s1600/DSCN4102.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="156" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-AKEL8uBOdNs/UYbWqUz1XuI/AAAAAAAAAS4/vvMKzUagCPs/s320/DSCN4102.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
I had so many good photos of the girls that I made a third page. I used Down by the Shore rub-ons with gelatos like Wilna did <a href="http://www.twopeasinabucket.com/gallery/projects/videos/1912631-in-the-mood-to-scrap-tia-by-wilna/">here</a>.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-MaWutec-lnw/UYbQIXZzshI/AAAAAAAAASc/kXRsS-I8EHQ/s1600/2013-10.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="312" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-MaWutec-lnw/UYbQIXZzshI/AAAAAAAAASc/kXRsS-I8EHQ/s320/2013-10.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
I am up to ten pages completed this year which is way below my average. Since my classes are done until August maybe I will get more scrapbooking done.<br />
<br />
Happy Cinco de Mayo!<br />

I went to my Mom and Dad's for lunch today wearing a green shirt.
I stopped by the office at my park and the gal who works in the office told me how nice I looked in my green shirt. Then my Mom told me how nice I looked in my green shirt. So, I guess I better rethink green!

I used the sketch they provided and made this layout of my sweet granddaughter Bella on New Year's Eve.

I love the way she uses full 4x6 photos in her layouts. Photos are of my youngest, he is 17 and a rather nice looking young man.<br />

I have started it at least five years in a row in some form or another - 2009 I did a digital Project 365 version and actually completed that one. The next three years I did some form of Project Life but none of them are finished. And I may or may not finish my 2013 Project Life album but I want to at least give it the old college try. I am not using a kit this year but am pulling pieces together from the ever growing stash that I have. I am using Simple Stories Sn@p collection for the color pallet.<br />
<br />
Some ideas that I have adapted for my own Project Life - the tile for each week will be shown on The Week of - including a calendar for the month with the week highlighted. I am also including a currently insert and a week in review insert. Week 1 is complete and the Title Page is half done - need to print a 6' x 12" photo.<br />

This first layout is from sketch 15 and I am not loving this one at all, but it's done.<br />

We had a busy weekend - getting ready for the big birthday bash and then the actual bash. Mom, Dad, Diane, Jordan, Nicole, Brandon, Sam, Brent, Bailey and Bella were here. We were celebrating three birthdays - Brandon's was June 27th, Bailey's was July 31st, and Mom's was August 4th. I made Korean Beef and roasted zucchini and carrots. I made two different desserts - one was a Banana Coconut Upside Cake and the other was a Cream Puff Cake. All the recipes were ones I got off Pinterest. I think everyone enjoyed themselves. Bailey stayed with Nana and got to play with some of her new toys.</div>

I am off to have a piece of Cream Puff Cake and head to bed. Back to work tomorrow - yuck!</div>

Eric was still there but we had lots to go over and I have plenty of work to keep me busy a full 40 hours a week. It will be great to get the bigger paycheck.<br />
<br />
Even though I have been working more hours I still got some scrapbooking done this week.<br />
<br />
I have been watch Lain Ehman's <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/ScrapHappyLain" target="_blank">31 Days videos</a> and one day she talking about using up scraps and showed a layout with punched circles on it. This layout was inspired by her layout and video,<br />

I have signed up for two more classes at <a href="http://www.bigpictureclasses.com/workshops.php" target="_blank">Big Pictures Classes</a>. I actually won a spot in the 28 Days of Sketches class but had already enrolled so they gave me a gift certificate. I enrolled in Multi Photo Solutions and Kit-astic. I really enjoy being pushed to create and taking a class pushes me.<br />
<br />
I have been bookmarking many scrapbook sketches and ideas for inspiration. I have so many pages saved and I have been feeling very inspired and crafty lately. I love it when I am wanting to scrapbook.<br />
<br />
Have a great Sunday and I will be back later with some pictures of my favorite five year old. <a href="http://s1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/freedomthriftstore/Misc/?action=view&current=Christine.png" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" height="192" src="http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n572/freedomthriftstore/Misc/Christine.png" width="320" /></a>Christine Duffhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17379726292030481665noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7190003263535523649.post-29811270209780541612012-07-28T19:27:00.003-04:002012-07-28T19:27:51.939-04:00Layouts to ShareBoth the girlies are gone. Brent took Bailey home last night and Sammie came and got Miss Bella this morning. The house has been very, very quiet. I got the living room all straightened up and vacuumed and the kitchen is clean as well. Tomorrow I will finish up laundry.<br />
<br />
I have some more scrapbook layouts to share. The first one is from a <a href="http://blog.basicgrey.com/?p=3633" target="_blank">sketch</a> posted on Basic Grey's blog and is designed by Valerie Salmon. I love her sketches so this one was an easy one for me.<br />

It is great to be using up supplies and getting some older photos on layouts. I have both Day 9 and Day 10 started and I will get them finished either tonight or tomorrow.<br />
<br />
Hope the rest of your weekend is awesome!<br />

I love having the girlies here but after a few days of togetherness we all start to get stir crazy. So, this morning we all got up, got dressed and headed to Goodwill. Little did I know how a couple hours out of the house would refresh us all. And in ways I never imaged. <br />
<br />
A few years ago my word of the year was JOY. I loved living that word. I found joy in so many unexpected places. Today my world is still filled with joy and my granddaughters bring so much of it into my life. What I tend to forget is how much joy that can give others. As I am walking through the aisles with Bella in the stroller and Bailey walking along side we can across a lady who started a conversation with Bailey. Bailey is very friendly so she found out the lady's name and told her that Bella wasn't her sister but her cousin and shared their names and how old they are. Carol told me she had 9 grandchildren aged 21 to 15 months. We chatted for a few minutes and off we both went, me with Bella and Bailey both waving bye to Carol. At the checkout two older women both wanted to wait on us, because of the girls. When we were done checking out, the clerk didn't want us to leave as she was having some much fun the the girls. Joy - I got filled by watching the interaction between my girlies and strangers - and the strangers got filled just from talking to the girls. Amazing.<br />
<br />
Here's a funny little story from last night. I was sending Brent out for McDonald's and I asked Bailey what she wanted "a cheeseburger or chicken nuggets?" She replied "a cheeseburger". I asked her to ask Bella what she wanted and Bailey told me she didn't think she knew Bella's language. I laughed and told her she was the best one to translate Bella's language since was the closest in age to her. Very seriously, Bailey leaned down and asked "Bella, do you want chicken nuggets or a cheeseburger" and Bella answered with a baby babble. Bailey looked up at me and said "Bella wants a cheeseburger, Nana!" Love, love, love those girlies and those moments.<br />

So as tired as I am and as messy as my house is, I treasure and cherish these moments. The children of my children - the best gift of all.<br />

Having her here reminds me so much of raising my kiddos. I was fortunate enough to stay home for 15 years with my kids. I love puttering at home, taking care of babies and being a Mama (or a Nana).<br />
<br />
I have some layouts to share that I completed a week or so ago. With all the thundershowers we have been having I haven't been able to get photos of them, but here they are:<br />
<br />
A single page layout of Bailey just having fun.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I am taking a class at <a href="http://www.bigpictureclasses.com/" target="_blank">Big Picture Classes</a> - 28 Days of Sketches Round 2. Sometimes all the motivation I need is a daily email reminding me to be creative. Lisa's emails are even better because each day along with an email I get a sketch. I am loving this class. Here is Day 3 Sketch:<br />

Each day Lisa not only gives you a 12" x 12" sketch but an 8 1/2" x 11" sketch as well as a double page layout. Awesome!<br />
<br />
I am going to go and play with my grandbaby and then pick out some pictures for my Day 5 sketch. Happy Monday!<br />
