Isn't she lovely?

And with this beautiful picture of my mimaw my personal album is caught up to this year. I had to do a little blog rearranging though so this would fit into this weeks scrap to lose challenge of using brown and blue. The papers are aptly named Grandma's kitchen by SEI.
Now I just have three more sets of albums to catch up to 09. Starting with Ryan as his is the easiest since he does not live with me and I have so few pictures of him to mess with. Then I will only have 2 to go. But seeing as all my pictures focus on my daughters those will take the longest!

You spin me right round baby right round.....

Here is my first spinner card. This one is for my youngest daughter who we call monkey. These were fairly easy to make and I made another one for my older daughter which I will share tomorrow. The sentiment and hearts are from the set monkey business from SU, the monkey is a sticker from paper bliss , pp is unknown and cardstock is unknown and mellow moss from SU.

It's all about me...and blog candy

Not really. This is an album that started about all sunflower stuff I have received as gifts through out the last few years. It started back in germany when I wanted to decorate my kitchen. I chose to do it in sunflowers. Well people decided it fit me so it has since become my signature flower. Now I get lots of it to decorate my house in. As a small tribute and so I can remember who gave me what and when, I make sure I add pages as I get the gifts.

This page qualifies me for this weeks scrap2lose challenge which is to do a layout using ribbon.

Scrap to lose challenge

Ok quickie post today ...I have a zillion little projects I need to get done on topof laundry and normal everyday family stuff ( Oh why oh why do kids have to eat? )

Anyway , I am sure I have mentioned before that I belong to a wonderful group on Sparkpeople. They have weekly challenges that I am hoping to paticipate in more on a regular basis. So the first one of the year was to scrap using a white background and only 2 different colors. Well here is my page. It is Thanksgiving of 06 when myhubby deployed and so I went to my grandmothers to be with family!

Then there is this one that I did. I really struggled with this page because I hated this particular deployment. Not that one is ever good, but I realized as far as years went 06/07 left a bitterness in my heart that I am still trying to get over.

You know one day I will find a good spot for me to take good pics of my pages for all to see. Ohh and don't forget I have blog candy here.
