Scrappy Stuff

While the kids are napping I often catch up on housework, browse around blogs, check e-mail and make phone calls. Once in a while - I try for at least once a week - I scrap while they nap. Sometimes I can do it while they are up but it's so much easier without getting up every two minutes to change a diaper, refill a sippy cup, get a snack, change the channel, get out a toy, kiss a boo boo etc. And much easier without Lydia digging around in my stuff - future scrapper? {I hope so!} Anyway, while I can get some done while they are up it's much more enjoyable & productive to scrap while they nap. It's even more fun when I'm able to talk with my friend Chriss{tine} while we scrap together. We drink coffee, snack, chat & scrap - just like when I was back home - except we've got our phones on speaker and/or using blue tooth and we can't borrow each other's stuff or ask the other if a paper should be placed vertically or horizontally on the page. {And sometimes it makes a big difference!} Okay, so maybe it's not just like being back home but it's as close as we can get. We've tried to web cam at the same time but I have to rearrange my furniture for that to work so we don't do that anymore.

We scrapped together on Friday for a few hours and she got way more done than I did. I had 3 pages completed to her 6 {though 1 she got done after I had stopped} but still, she was rockin. She said she was going to post her pages to prove it so we'll see. ;) So here's what I've been working on lately, the first three on Friday and the rest in recent weeks. You can see more of my work at my 2 peas page. So far I've finished our honeymoon album, my bride to be album {minus one page} and Michael's first year {not uploaded to two peas yet}. I'm slowly working on finishing journaling on some pages, taking pictures of them all & uploading my work. A few pages have to be redone and not because 'now my style has changed & I don't like them anymore' but because of a certain person being in some photographs or mentioned in the journaling and it makes my stomach turn. I've already removed the photos or torn his face out but I have to redo the pages. Maybe it will be therapeutic. I'm still working on Lydia's first year {not uploaded yet either} and catching up on the family albums {some is uploaded}. One of these days, sooner than later I hope, I want to start on my wedding album. It seems like such a daunting task and I haven't fully decided how I want to do it though the one I did on picaboo has helped me with some decisions and ideas.

Thanks for stopping by & enjoy the pages. If you aren't into scrapbooking don't worry - I know everyone isn't {though I don't quite understand that}. ;) Thanks for visiting anyway & have a great day.
