And let me tell you....it's NOT about the recipe

I don't know why I seem to find almost no time for my scrapbooking/card making/stamping anymore. I made a whole bunch of stuff not long after the babies were born and yet I do almost nothing now. Of course, I didn't have the computer then and that might have had something to do with. *shrug*

Nowadays I only seem to do something when I have to. I was in one card exchange group that sort of fell apart, and then I signed up for another group that I've missed both times. But these are what I made for it. This group does a theme each month and in March they had a dessert recipe exchange. But this is not your typical recipe exchange....this is all about who can present their recipe in the cutest way.

And I have a confession to make....I've never even made my recipe. I found it online because it went with a S'more stamp I had. That's how much it is not about the recipe. It was fun anyway.......

And here is my baby card from February. When I take pictures of my cards they never seem to turn out so I tried scanning this time. It seemed to work pretty well except for it seems to mess with the colors a bit. The green paper and the green words in the stamp are supposed to be the same. So that's it. The extent of my craftiness for February and March. I have a feeling it's going to get more seldom rather than more often from here on out. But I figured I'd share anyway. If you like the scrapbooking/stamping stuff you have to check out my friend Emily's blog. She's the expert!

W-what??!! V-day is like way over?

Then why on earth have I not posted my Valentine's pictures yet? What kind of slacker am I??!! (By the way, feeling better today. Still got a sore throat and achy pains but no more hot and cold shiver shakes fever, thank goodness)

Anyway, about Valentine's day, I shouldn't feel bad, I didn't post my V-day project last year until March. (you should check it out, I was more creative then) But this year I made treats/cards for my preschoolers, some for Roo to give to his class (he was not interested in helping, I tried), and then of course helped Ebug make his valentines. (He actually did do a lot, and picked the stamps and everything, I just helped decide where everything he picked would go. So I totally didn't do it, or even most of it. Really, I didn't.)

They show up in the order I mentioned them. The ones I made to give my preschoolers, the ones for the preschoolers from Roo, and then the ones Ebug and I made together for his 2nd grade class.

Sorry my pictures are not very good, I could touch them up but my program for that takes forever and I just don't feel like it. Sorry. Hope you'll forgive me.

Now for actual valentine's day Eldon and I went on a date! We got a babysitter and drove 45 minutes to the nearest town with anything (although still not much) to do. We ate at a little place that had a dutch oven prime rib special (one of my favorites) but it was really gross, undercooked even after I asked them to cook it more, potatoes were crunchy, salad was wilty, apple crisp was okay, but apples were too crunchy. Luckily Eldon got something else he really enjoyed.

Then he took me shopping for a present. (I got a couple of cute things from Maurices) Then we went bowling, which is something we haven't done for a long time! We had so much fun! Here is my man with his studly bowling moves! Really, it was a nice day and a lovely weekend. Just sad it's over. I can't wait until we can go on a date again!

P.S. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR COMMENTS!!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE THEM!! YOU ALL REALLY MAKE MY DAY!

P.S.S For those of you who read a certain post with a certain secret something, don't forget that you can say that secret word in any and all comments you make until the end of the month to get certain extra entries. Don't know what I'm talking about? You might want to go back and read all the way through my posts. ;) Good luck!

Get ready to Scrapbook

I am determined that I am going to start getting some scrapbooking done this week! So first I need to get my scrapbooking table cleared and organized and then I'm going to start on the scrapbooks for the twins' first year. So stay posted for pictures of the scrapbook pages I do. To get me excited I found a contest where you can win $100 worth of scrapbooking stuff. Click on the link below to check it out.

valentine project (a bit late)

Here is the Valentine project I did. Soon I hope that I will be able to post with RECENT projects I am doing. I seem to have a hard time scrapbooking and making cards and projects with no hands. (They seem to always be filled with babies). But here's what I did last month using mostly Stampin Up! stuff. (But I'm not a consultant yet so I can use whatever I want.) hee hee And yes, it's supposed to be screwompus, I was trying to be creative with the camera.

past projects

Here are some past projects that I have done. If you are interested in how I did any of them just leave a comment.
