Well it's been a while....

Figured it was time to make an entry here even though not much has been happening. Brad started his new job on Tuesday, and Mercedes had the whole week off from school so we got lots of mommy & Mercedes time! She is such a busy little girl, constantly wanting to be doing something...crafts, cooking, helping, just so busy, busy, and it sure makes me appreciate having Grandma next door. My mom laughs and said I was the exact same way so it's just payback! lol

I've been doing alot of scrappin/creative stuff lately. In fact today I realized that everytime I found my mind wandering it was thinking about scrapbooking. I did manage to make it into Lethbridge today and happily spent some $ at the lss. I got a really good deal on a set of stamps and I got some great paper.

I've been making lots of cards lately as I'm getting ready to start taking my portfolio around town to some of the gift shops. I have one store already that is just waiting for me to bring it in. I just want to make sure that I have a nice variety when I go in there.

I'm trying to work on a LO tonight, but I'm still in the trying to pick paper phase, although I have the pics printed and the journaling done. Now it all needs to stew in my head for a little while and hopefuly something wonderful will come out! lol

The LO at the top of this post is one I did last weekend that was a totally different style for me, but I challenged myself to give it a try and I am really happy with the results. I hand journaled, I doodled, I freestyled, I mixed and matched and just had alot of fun. Reminded me that I need to continually challenge myself or I begin to stagnate. Well, off to stew on this new LO....can I finish it before morning?lol
