Back to Class - 2011

It is hard to believe it is September and the first week of school is behind us!!  It is always a bittersweet time for me - I miss the kids when they are at school, after having them home for a fun filled summer!  But I also love getting back in to the routine that September brings, and the feeling of a fresh start that comes from the September "New Year"!

My kids still consented to one picture for the first day of school ( actually I threatened and bribed them, but hey. . . I got my photo!)  And I managed to get down to work and actually get the photo scrapped!

Using Pink Paislee's Old School line from 2010, here is my layout:

I am so glad they agreed to this photo - as they continue to get bigger, the opportunities for these special photos become fewer - so thanks to my kiddos - you make your mom proud!

Happy Day, everyone!

Sneak Peek #2 - Pink Paislee Mistables

Oh I am in love. . . .   Pink Paislee has become out with out with some amazing new products for use with all the cool mists and sprays now available!  As someone with a somewhat embarrassing number of mists that I don't use nearly enough - these products are heaven !  Take a peek:

Those flowers are to die for!!!!  I feel my resolution slipping away. . . .

210 in 2010

Well, with all of the CHA excitement, I am a little behind on the Christmas photos that need scrapping! My goal for this year is to complete 210 layouts for 2010, and while I have got quite a few done already, I still have lots to do ( if only I took less photos!!!) I did get one 2 page layout done recently at a Scrapbook Parade crop - I used the Jolly by Golly line from Cosmo Cricket:





I also finished a layout of my friend Erin's sweet daughter Grayce - I used the Enchanted line from Pink Paislee - which I won from Canadian Scrapbooker Hands On Photography blog!!!

I also got one more layout done from Christmas - finally got to use that adorable Eskimo Kisses line from Basic Grey! But I have to say, the paper is not half as adorable as my daughter, Emily and Hammy, her hamster:

How are you doing on your scrappy goal for 2010? Do you have one? Let me know in the comments, and watch tomorrow's post for the winner of the Basic Grey Blog Candy!!!
