Well, it's been awhile. I haven't fallen off the face of the earth, I promise. For the sake of explanation, here is a list of the top 5 things I've been doing while my poor neglected scrap stuff is gathering dust.
5. I've been summering. Trips to the park, playing in the back yard with my little guy. He keeps asking to go " 'side, 'side, Mama!" How can you say no to that?
4. Noah has been spending more time with us while he is off school. I can't tell you how excited we all are about this. He's never spent extra time during the summer with us. It is so nice to have him here more. Kevin just adores spending time with his brother. Every morning he wakes up and looks for Noah. And with an extra family member, comes a little less time for myself and a little extra laundry. I don't mind at all, he is so worth it.
3. Cleaning, cleaning, cleaning. Wow, does it never end? Please don't answer that. If I find out it doesn't end I might just never clean again. My sweet husband likes things a bit more clean than I do. I'm a bit more laid back. I like things clean, don't get me wrong, but I find a lot of the things that I do, I do for him, not really for myself. And with a 2 year old and a 10 year old, it can get pretty messy. Given a choice between a messy floor and scrapping, I choose scrapping. The floor will get messy again, but mojo only lasts so long. Memories are forever. Or so I tell myself.
2. My scrappiness went on vacay. It forgot to take me with it. I have actually been trying to scrap. I've just had a really hard time finishing projects and liking what I have been doing. I think it has more to do with my mood than with the actual scrappiness itself, but that is a theory. Perhaps I forgot how to scrap at all .
1. My husband bought me the camera of my dreams. No lie. For our 5th wedding anniversery he gave me a Cannon Rebel xsi 12.2 mp camera, with an extra zoom lens. And I've been photographing a LOT. And I've had to spend a lot of time learning the camera. I used to shoot with a Cannon Rebel 2000 before I got my digital camera. And I learned a lot on that one, but it is incomperable to a DSLR for learning. I love instant feedback. Plus if I had to develop those shots, I would be millions of dollars in debt.
So, I guess the short story is I've been trying to find balance in an ever changing life. I'm off to scrap, now that the baby is sleeping. Let's hope I have something spectacular to show you tomorrow (or even tonight)!

:P I'm trying to keep you on your toes! At least I don't count like Kevin. He only counts to two and he skips the one!
