Even though we've been stuck indoors for a couple days, I haven't had much time to accomplish a whole lot. My "creative time" has been spent trying to creatively figure out a way to keep Bryn entertained, so I can sneak in some work. ;-) I did finish most of this new page after she went to bed the other night though... before Bob managed to successfully lure me away from the craftroom, that is. The rest of it had to wait until the next morning.
I wanted to do some paper-piecing on here by making my own chalkboard. I also asked Bryn if I could have the little girl sticker. It's from her American Girl paper pad. I swear I think I use that paper pad more than she does. The photo quality isn't so hot in my photos, as I was sitting as far away as I could possibly sit in the gymnasium, but that's ok with me. I told the story & that's what matters the most in the future...
The other day I received my copy of the October Scrapbook Trends magazine + some free supplies in exchange for my page they published...
Gotta love the "Boo-tiful" line from Nikki Sivils!
I told my dad he was famous now. :-)
Thank goodness we have a treadmill since the Y was closed on Tuesday (not my normal day to go anyway) and then opened late on Wednesday, leaving my Spin class cancelled in the morning. Seriously think I'd be going nutso with all this bad weather, if it weren't for being able to RUN!
And even though we have no school again today... I say YAY for normal hours at the Y today and my favorite class... Zumba!
What a charming page - and glad you could get some crafting done. Have fun at Zumba!

That is a super cute layout. I've had a hard time scrapping bad pics lately--thanks for the reminder that it is ok because the story still needs to be told. Have fun at the Y! I'm in a slump . . .send some exercise mojo my way please :)

Your layout is so stinkin' cute! The chalkboard is such a fun idea. I love all the little scenes you create! I recall seeing that Halloween page :) I can't believe it takes so long to get the actual magazine copy out to those who are featured in it.
Keep warm!!!!!
