1st Layout share for the month

ok so the last post I made I was talking about the Two Girls and a Kit. Well to be honest I didn't make a kit. I started to and then just kept going back and pulling more and more scraps out of my scrap box. So what I did instead was use stuff out of my scrap box, adding the background page from my stash. I didn't purchase anything new to do any of my layouts, I just pulled from my stash. I know thats not how there thing works but it got me scrappin again,lol.



They may not be that intricate but I love how they turned out. I've been helpin my mom out with her scrappin to. Tryin to get her to use up her scraps on her layouts instead if just adding more and more to the scrap pile. Shes enjoying it to and its fun for us to do together. My goal is to have at leas It 6 layouts this month, maybe more but shooting for at least 6. Next month I'm going to shoot for 10. I'm optimistic that I can get more and more done, the more I get back into my scrappin. I'm always looking for more challenges and sketches for inspiration, so if anyone wants to share where they go for there challenges or sketches it would be welcomed to. I probably have plenty to use, lol, I have a lot pinned for sketches and inspiration on pintrest. Also thinking about trying a scrapbook kit club, if anyone has any wants to share the ones they like, Id love that too! lol thanks and Happy holiday weekend!! Hope you all have a safe and fun one with family and friends!!!

Here we go again

It looks like I can never keep up with anything lately, or for the past 6 months or longer. It seems like things just keep comin at us here.  Some good, some not so good.

We got married!!! That’s definitely a good! We got married in a small ceremony in our back yard, under a big tree, with just family. We actually got married before we had planned,lol. It just kinda came together. It was suppose to be our rehearsal, it was months in advance but it was the only time we could get everyone together before the wedding,lol.  I didn't have an actual wedding dress or my bridesmaids or anything, they were there but no one was in there dresses and my husband didn't have his groomsmen either. But it was so great!! I have some pic I’ll be scrapping before too long. But we are still planning our “Wedding” where we’ll get all or our friends and family back together, with the dress, bridesmaids and groomsmen.


So the day after we got married, our oldest was on his bike and of course didn't listen and put on his helmet and he wrecked. He came in covered in blood, he had a small gash on his head but head wounds bleed soooo much and it scared him and us to death. Then it got worse. We got him cleaned up in a matter of minutes and told him he had to sit with us so we could watch him to make sure he was ok. Well he wasn't, he started looping questions and had no clue what had happened. He lost a whole 24 hours with in minutes. We got in the car and headed for the hospital, we didn't even make it a few block before it seemed worse and the questions were closer together. So we went to the EMT station and they loaded him in the ambulance and took off. The whole situation was so scary. I rode in the ambulance with him and my husband fallowed behind in our car with one of our other children, the youngest.  They told me he had a concussion, and had to strap him down in case there were other problems. Thank the God there weren't other problems, but we didn't know this for hours! They stuck him and got the IV ready, and they had to do it multiple times and he didn't cry about it once, so that worried me ever more. He only cried when he would ask questions and couldn't remember. We were at the hospital till around 2am maybe even a little later. But when he finally started to remember things and the doctors had checked him tons, they finally let us go home. But he want allowed to watch TV, play video games, read or have any physical activity. Telling this all to a 9 year old, its crushed him,lol. It seemed to cause him to start forgetting things again when he did any of these things. We got threw it, again thank God,  and he’s great now. And always, ALWAYS wears his helmet!!


After that we all got sick, AGAIN!! I love that my kids wanna share, but some things they can keeps. Lol. My husband started a new job, planning our honeymoon, doin some DIY around the house, potty training, and getting the older ones use to their chores. The last one is probably the hardest! But they will get it!!

So again, I’m going to try and get full forced back into my scrapping. I have so many pictures and so many memories to scrap, and I soooo miss it! I was on youtube today and to be honest that and pintrest have been where I've been, instead of scrapping. But once of the channels I subscribe to: Amanda O’Banion, Had a video about Two Girls and a Kit. So of course I clicked on it. And I love the idea her and Carrie had.  They put out a “recipe card” that you can print or see on their blogs or their pintrest board. I've  been in much need to get back into my scrapping as I've said, So I’m going to give this a try. I love the idea so much, so here goes nothing! I’ll post what I pull together for my “kit” and then I’ll post the outcome of what I make too! Anybody else that needs some mojo might wanna go check them out and see if this works for you too!
