Digi Scrappin'

I got the itch to scrapbook last night, and between last night and today, I've finished two layouts from our vacation.

You've already seen these pictures, but I wanted to show the layout I created with them.
Credits: background paper from Shabby Princess "Splendid" collection. Orange circles were "cut out" from the paper and darkened. Font: Footnote Light

And this is when we were waiting in line to get on the rafting ride. I entertained myself during the l-o-n-g 45 minute wait by taking pictures :)

Credits: background paper is a cream-colored paper (I don't remember whose) and I added the map photo, enlarged it and seriously altered it colorwise. The alpha for "Shipwreck Rapids" I created from a picture of a sign I took near the ride. Journaling stamp--Jubilant Kit from DigitalDesignEssentials. and the frames are from Katie Pertiet (Vintage Photo Frames 2) at DesignerDigitals. Font is Catchup Thin.

Great pages and photos! Do you print them all up when you're done or do you just store them on CD?

I print A LOT of them, lol! Just because seeing them on the monitor in not nearly as satifying as seeing (and touching!) my handiwork (can't really explain why).

What I've decided to do with our vacation layouts, though, is create a real book using "Shutterfly." This will be my first time. It will cost less than getting the layouts printed at Costco and buying an album to put them in ... because I took a gazillion pictures, so that's a lot of layouts :)

Missing You

We've been having internet problems since last Friday evening. It goes on and off sporadically. Someone should be coming today to fix it (and of course it's working perfectly right now, lol!). I don't usually blog in the middle of the day (too much house stuff to do) , but I gotta grab the internet while I can. I'm desperate! It has actually startled me to realize how connected I am to all of you--even you, Ronalyn, and I have never met you. I have so missed reading blogs, commenting on them, and posting. I have really felt disconnected to you all (yeah, I'm a "recovered hick" but I can't erase that expression from my vocabulary--however, I don't say, "y'all." I do draw the line there. Sorry if I'm offending anyone--as in my sister and brother-in-law, but I don't consider you guys hicks.) . So I hope the person who comes to repair the internet issue can perform a miracle so I don't have to miss you anymore :)

A Rare Moment Captured on Film

No, it's not a rare moment that my kids brush their teeth (well, it would be if left up to them!). I walked into the bathroom tonight to see both my kids in the bathroom brushing their teeth ... and this is the rare moment--they actually got along! I had to run and get my camera to document this rare moment of parental bliss. And now I'm sharing it with you. Now isn't your day more complete?!

Time Will Tell

It's always so "wow" to me when I'm going about my business as usual, and "out of the blue" God answers a prayer. I think He's answering my prayer. Time will tell. I've been praying for quite a while about what to do about employment. I want to find a job that I can do only during the day when the kids are at school--I still need to be available to take them to school and pick them up because sometimes my husband needs to go to work early. I have thought about various jobs (subbing, tutoring, doing something with technology 'cause I'm good with computers, finding a business I could do at home that doesn't require much training, etc.) , but child care is usually an issue and for the life of me I can't figure out what I could do from home. I'm soooo not business-oriented. It is so important to me to be there for my kids on a regular basis. I enjoy taking them to school. I enjoy being the one who gets to pick them up from school (exc...
