Close as I will ever get to preparing for a little girl's birthday party! Made these cute invites for Connie's daughter.

This boy is ready to ride!

I think this little gem could tote scrapbook materials around the shop!

Our favorite guy in brown!

March 23rd!

A fabulous stamp from Hero Arts!

Love this fishy!

March 20th!

Pres was a great help as we got ready for the crop! Heehee and then he had to rest!

Our boy has a never ending obsession with the trash truck. He watches it when it comes to the house, he pretends to be the trash truck man when we go the grocery store as he jumps on and off the cart as we go up and down the aisles, and he swears that he will be a trash truck man when he grows up! Dream my boy!

My sweet boy was a little under the weather as noted by the pink cheeks but he was quite pleased that he was able to steal my hand made scarf that Randa was kind enough to make for me. He was not happy that I wasn't going to give it to him so Randa ended up making a pint sized green scarf...just for John!

Nothing like a little Beef's, a birthday boy and a bff on St. Patty's Day!

Because we live in a circle that is down hill it is a little tough for John to get going on his bike without help. This has become our new job...just one little push.

John in his Funny Bones cycling jersey...what a cool pic!

March 13th!

A quick little 5K through 5 Points. Jen and I got to the Green! Next year we will be ready with better costumes!

My handsome boy trying out a road bike.

A visit with our two sweet girls - granddaughter Lilli and daughter Kelly!

March 6th!

The Girls...'nuff said!

AHHHHHHH, I do love poached eggs and I have passed that love on to my boys. This is even the same pan we had when I was a kid!

March 1st!

Now this is a fabulous day! Our boy rides...with joy and glee and speed and falling and crying and joy and glee and speed! :)

February 27th!

Yep, it is as chilly as it looks but my man grills on!

February 26th!

Love my job! My sweet American Crafts sales rep came all the way from California to see me and she brought great schwag with her and all these fabulous samples!

February 25th!

Preston is so great about helping John play on the computer! I find them hanging out together in the chair quite often!

February 23!

some pretty cute things made with Origins from Basic Grey!

February 21!

So here it is...the brand new Quickbooks POS system has arrived. No more arguing with the crappy POSitive for WIndows that I inherited when I bought...well let's not go down that road. I guess I better get to reading!

February 16, 2010!

My boy skates! He decided that he wanted to be part of the afterschool skate program at PLEX and the love began. It was rocky at first because he relaly didn't know what he was doing. And then he tool lessons and the rest was history! He can olley and grind and shred and drop in and rock a fakey and a lot more to come!

What a fabulous Valentine's Day! It started with my love bugs checking out the book I made them for V-day and then we spent the day geocaching...what fun this was! We set out to Clemson Extension in search of treasure. We searched, struggled and searched some more learning the lesson that the GPS for the car wasn't the best method for geocaching. Nonetheless...we found treasureand a pretty fabulous one at that! We found a Travel Bug...that had been to the Netherlands and made it all the way to little old Columbia! WOW! The last picture is my geocaching glamor shot.

Of course there were a million more snow pictures this day too but my girl Sofie didn't know what to do with herself. She ran out the door (something she NEVER does) and bounded down the road (something she NEVER does) and wouldn't come back (something she NEVER does) until she realized that I was a little panicked with her crazed attitude (noted by the high pitched scream of SOOOOFFFFIIIIEEE) and back she came! Love this picture!

February 12, 2010

Oh my! What else is there to say when you have a complete white out in Columbia, SC! This was unbelievable, fun, beautiful and all around amazing!

February 9th!

WOOHOO! The new location of Scrapin' Creations is open!

February 5th!

My little bro's birthday. What a guy...a doting son, a patient, kind and generous husband, an involved and loving father and a fabulous little brother! I love you, Ang!

February 4th!

An adorable card from Jo...one of my customers! I love getting to see the completed creations people make.

February 3rd! (A wee bit behind!)

There are numerous pictures of both boys flipping and cartwheeling and messing around the living room...oh the energy of it all!

Geese oh Pete!

I know it has been quite some time since I have posted but I do promise that I have taken a picture every day and I am planning to get to updating any minute now. It always seems that when I have time...like now, I don't have my pictures available so it makes it sorta tough to do what I gotta do! Anywho...I think next weekend will be the perfect time but there is always possiblity before then...

Back on Track…I hope!

January 19th!

My parents! Off on their final continent adventure. This time they are off to Australia and they actually trusted that I could get them to the airport on time! They have such a great time on their adventures and always have many stories to tell and pictures to share when they get back! I hope that one day Henry and I can do the same!
January 20th!

It's all I got…a cute $1 card that Tonya made!
January 22nd!

I have a thing about old stuff! I love old windows and antiques of pretty much any kind. I tend to lean towards the shabby chic, countryish, dirty look when I am on the hunt but anything old strikes my fancy. I love the thought of the story behind the item. So this is one of many attempts at a blade sign for outside the store…because I am posting this so far behind it's actual date I can tell you that it was turned down! BOO!
January 24th!

You might not know it but this is an outstanding human being right here! Love you Val and thanks for helping with the move!!!
January 25th!

This day deserved more than one pic! Most people get all settled in after being in a location for a year…I on the other hand up and move! Thanks to the help of my fabulous friends who double as customers we got moved despite the pending warning of torrential downpours! Thanks for being so grand y'all!
February 2nd!

I rarely get a page done as it is and never have I scrapped anything about myself but I decided to teach a class this year that was "All About You!" The ladies are loving it and making some really cute pages!
More a little later today!
