Second cup of coffee is almost gone. I guess that means it's time to tackle the mess in the dining room scrapbook room. And keep children entertained enough so that the rest of the house doesn't become a disaster in the process. Right now they are busy filling the pinata for the big birthday party this evening (it was either a pinata or Chuckie Cheese...not that there's anything wrong with that.) The chances of lice with a pinata are less, so that was a no-brainer!
I'll be glad to get the scrapbook area cleaned up. It's been a few weeks since I've done anything in there. This week (Hey Robin, this is where you can stop reading!) I ordered Becky Higgin's School kit and I'm anxious to get it. I haven't done anything since Zachary's Kindergarten pages. It sold out in just a few hours, so I'm really glad I ordered it when I did! For those of you that received a Christmas Card from me, this kit is from the same artist that made the Christmas Card kit.
Speaking of scrapbooking and artist, my BIL Matt was kind enough to send me a link yesterday. I was amazed at how serious some women are! I am passionate about scrapbooking, but really? Going to this kind of extreme? Maybe they need something else in their life to focus on for awhile...
Here's the link.
And Matt, here's a picture just for you:
With that being said, I love being a "life artist." I've put out Nicholas' scrapbooks for his party, specifically the album of his first year, and of the last year. It is such a joy looking back and reading what I was feeling and what was going on at that time in our lives.
Time to cross more off the list. I'll have a piece of Mimi's yummy birthday cake for each of you tonight!
Edited to add: Two months from today is the first stage of Nicholas' Microtia reconstruction! I know the time is going to go quickly!
