Yep, that's where I am. :)

Anyway, still incredibly busy trying to catch up with life after that long, long, long recuperation time (well, long, long, long for me--not really so long). I have been working my own job, but I am being "groomed" at work for a better job, so I am starting to learn some other departments. Exciting, exhilarating, but tiring. And the only scrapbooking I have managed is my desktop (and Eva's--because they are the same--just different pictures.)



This lovely desktop came courtesy of Shabby Princess, to whom I always fall back on when the going gets tough, and the tough get behind the wall of sleep. :)

Until next time!

and I've been working...well, not really. I did go to the doctor today, and he released me to go back to work, though! I got back from a mini-vacation to Reno last week, and couldn't resist using some of my newest pictures for wallpaper for my two computers.



This was a quick page from The Shabby Princess blog--I love them! It was quick and easy, all I had to do was drop in my pictures.



I can't remember where I got the papers from...But the pictures are awesome!

And finally, I created this layout (and a wallpaper version) for my friend Eva. She sent me a link to one of her daughter's kindergarten pictures from Sear's. Unfortunately, I am not sure how the layout will actually print out because of the quality of the pictures. Maybe as an 8x8.



Again, don't know where I got the paper or the accents, however, I do know that I adjusted the grunge pink to match the circle-y pink. Turned out pretty, I think.

Have a great week!

Ahhh... who knew it would be so tiring doing nothing! It seems like I am doing a lot of sleeping, which I suppose is part of the healing process. Anyway...

Dh was watching me scrapbook the first page of this layout the other night, making suggestions on which pictures to use, etc. Hopefully he loves it as much as I do!



I used ScrapKitchen Designs kit "Warm Embrace" by Susan Bartolini from Sweet Shoppe Designs, with a triptych template by Bree Clarkson.

I started scanning in my old pictures so that I could get them scrapbooked, and these layouts are the first fruits of my labor. Woohoo!

So, it has been more than a week since I posted, and that is mostly because I finally had my surgery. I went into the hospital last Wednesday, came home Friday, and have been letting everyone wait on me since. :)

Actually, everyone has been doing a great job taking care of me, and it has helped that I had all those meals made up in the freezer!

I started scanning in my old pictures for digital scrapbooking purposes, and I did a bit of scrapbooking today (which, of course! I am going to share!). This is the start of a 2 page layout about my son's Arrow of Light Ceremony, and graduation into Boy Scouts.



Scout stuff, including papers, from Raspberry Road Designs. Template (slightly altered) from Racketty Scrappety.

It's been a busy, busy week. I have been working and trying to get everything taken care of before my surgery next week. I have hardly been online at all, and I definitely haven't done any scrapbooking. I have done a lot of freezer meals, though! Thank you, Saving Dinner!

Today, however, I scrapbooked my July desktop (which I actually put on the computer today). Here it is!



All the papers and embellishments are from "Julie. It is." They are from her Americana kit (oh, so cute!), which you can download for free from her blog.

Well, the weekend was nice. I had to work yesterday, and I ended up assembling nine meals for the freezer (recipes from Homemade Gourmet). Sometime this next week, my friend Eva and I are assembling 15 more from Saving Dinner. That plus the two I had left from last week should hold my family over for a while. We (Eva and I) are having an assembly day at the beginning of August--22 meals. We are inviting friends and family to come assemble their own (we are just providing the companionship--they have to buy the groceries!). I've really needed to stock my freezer for a while--my family has been suffering with all my health problems.

Yesterday afternoon I came home from meal assembly and just hung out by myself, watching Camp Rock and doing a little scrapbooking on the laptop. I really need to start scanning in pictures--soon! Anyway, here is what I did yesterday. I used a template (all in french, oh la la) by v.vv. Most of the paper is Shabby Princess (if not all), as is the flower.

Ahhh...how nice not to have to work today. On the other hand, I have to go to the doctor to discuss my impending surgery, so...there you go. In celebration of summer (and the fact that I am way behind on my pictures), I have scrapped this page about our end of the school year party (yup, 2007). I used Julie Billingsley's kit "Old Beach House" from Sweet Shoppe Designs (one of my very favorite online stores), and templates by "Templates by Erica". Lots of fun, and makes me want to go swimming...
