Am I the only one?

Frustration set in tonight on my way to our first sorority meeting of the new year (our "year" runs from September to September). There is a woman in our group that constantly has a reason she can't come to the meetings. And it's never a planned reason - like something that has been in the works for a long time and can't be changed. It's always a last-minute thing that pops up and it "turns out" she can't make it. It's just so frustrating for me. I was raised that if you make a committment to something, you honor it - even if something better comes up that you'd rather do. That's just life. We have to make choices about what we do. If you're not planning to fulfill your obligations, why make them in the first place? Of course this is also the person that is gung ho when new projects/socials/events are suggested and planned but then doesn't show up when it's time to put them on. Why should I be surprised? Ugh.

A Happy Layout

For one of the monthly challenges at Sweet Shoppe Designs, we were asked to show a layout that makes us happy whenever we look at it. This was a hard thing for me to do because so many of my layouts make me happy. They're mostly about my kids and the things they do - and all of them envoke a sense of pride for me. But happy? Hmm. That's hard to narrow down. I think I'll have to pick a layout I just finished today. Taking the pictures that are included on it was such a joy. Callan is getting so big so quickly and he's doing new things every day. The cozy coupe is his most favorite outside toy right now. You can see the happiness in his face in these pictures. What is better than that?

Who Were You in High School?

I think this described me pretty well. Amazing for only 5 questions. :)

You Were the All American Kid

Popular but not plastic. Athletic but not a jock. Smart but not a brain. You were well rounded and well liked in high school.

Who Were You In High School?

What American Accent Do You Have!

I don't have one! Can you believe that? :) Here are my results.

What American accent do you have? Your Result: The West Your accent is the lowest common denominator of American speech. Unless you're a SoCal surfer, no one thinks you have an accent. And really, you may not even be from the West at all, you could easily be from Florida or one of those big Southern cities like Dallas or Atlanta.
The Midland
Boston
North Central
The South
The Inland North
Philadelphia
The Northeast
Now get out there and take your own! Monday, August 25, 2008 Scrap day! Just a quick note tonight before I hit the hay. I spent most of the afternoon frantically finishing layouts for the SSD challenges. I've got a list of kits I want to buy and that 40% off coupon would really come in handy! I hit the 20 point mark today - only 10 more points to go to hit the 40% off level. Woohoo! Here are a couple of the LO's I finished today. I love the one of Corbin's toothless grin. Of course, I had to buy a special kit just for that page but I know it'll come in handy down the road again too. :) Check them out! Toothless is done with a kit called Grinalicious by Lauren Grier and Melissa Bennett at Sweet Shoppe Designs. Camo's page is done with an awesome kit called Tomboy Princess by Libby Weifenbach at Sweet Shoppe Designs. Sunday, August 24, 2008 Welcome! Welcome to my blog! I'd love to say that I started this blog to keep the world informed of the exciting events of my life, but if I said that, I'd be lying. I've tried blogging before rather unsuccessfully since it seems that not much in my life is interesting to anyone other than me. ;) This time around, I started it so that I can participate in blog scrapbooking challenges. Can you say "nerd?" Digital scrapbooking is my (relatively) new obsession. I've learned the basics of creating layouts and now I'm looking forward to diving into the deeper aspects and at some point, even start creating elements and papers of my own. There's a long way to go to get to that point, but the journey is the biggest part of the fun, right? I'm planing for this blog to be a mixture of family tidbits, scrapbooking stuff and just general goodness from my life. Happy reading. It's absolutely ME! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom) All About Me Heather Kansas, United States I'm a wife, mom, daughter, friend, secretary and scrapper. My life is filled to the brim with goodness - I'm a lucky woman. My husband of 11 years and I have been blessed with three beautiful children. Corbin, 7, kicked everything off and is constantly keeping us on our toes. She was followed by Camryn, 5, our free spirit; and Callan, 2, our energetic, ornery little boy. They fill our lives with laughter and love - and frustration and messes! Every day brings new joys and new challenges to our lives and we wouldn't have it any other way!
