Happy iNSD Weekend!!

iNSD.... WHAT???? Tomorrow is (International) National Scrapbooking Day!! Did you know?

My scrapbooking home, ScrapMatters, is having a HUGE celebration!!

I love scrappbooking celebrations because that means GRAB BAGS!!! Love 'em!! I've said it before, but I'll say it again....they are the BEST deal!!

Here are a couple of the grab bags that I've had the chance to play around with this week.....

From Haynay Designs' Grab Bag.....Haynay also has a great collab. grab bag with WM[squared] Designs (unfortunately my layout won't upload......darn Blogger!) If you have any Summer weddings or anniversaries coming up, you're going to want this one!!

And using another great grab bag from Stolen Moments.....

Hope you have an awesome time shopping, scrapping, chatting, and playing this weekend!

Oh, and one more thing.......The Design and Creative Teams at ScrapMatters have put together an AWESOME blog train that will be starting TOMORROW!!! There's over 50....yes, 50.....stops!!! How crazy is THAT??? Be sure to check it out tomorrow morning. The train will be leaving the station from HERE.

Have a great weekend!!

Gettin' Scrappy and STUFF!

Well, a couple more weeks have passed by without a blog post. But I promise it wasn't my fault. Poor little laptop.....had to go to the computer hospital for a few days. But now it's feeling (mostly) better.

Been busy with our home addition. Did I tell you that we're putting an addition on our house? It's a bedroom andhandicapped accessible bathroom for Sam, plus mud room, and garage. It was started way back in the middle of October and we're finally coming down to the home stretch, we think. Hopefully we'll have our final inspection in the next couple weeks. I've made more trips to Home Depot in the last month!

And I haven't told you what else is coming up! Three weeks from today I will be HERE!

YEA BABY!!! Just me and my Honey! Five nights, six days! Just the two of us! We haven't been alone on a trip for more than 2 nights since, well, since we went to India to get Sam! That was definitely a trip of a lifetime....but it was NOT a vacation! So, I'm SO excited! Our dear friends the Riedels are coming to stay with the kids while we are gone. (Bless them, bless them, bless them!!) I've been having fun planning all that we will do.....and now we're only three weeks away. Can't wait!

A ton to do between now and then, between getting the house, new part and old part, in order and just getting ready to go. But it's always nice to have something to look forward to.

I guess that's all of the "newsy" stuff. Here are a few layouts that I've managed to do between computer issues.....

As always, see my gallery for the credits.
