I am completely bummed...if anyone out there actually reads my blog please tell me and help me!

Monkeys...

Am I crazy to like monkeys? In my LSS they had this Wacky wednesday thing were the prize was monkey paper. I was so over excited that someone had come up with a monkey paper line that I could not hide it, and so they thought so too, so I won the paper. Now I am worried that they think I am nuts or something, but I really like monkeys. It is the only good memory I have of an outing as a child in Cuba, a little before I left the country. My mom and dad took me to the zoo and the only animal that was available for viewing were the monkeys (I can just imagine what happened to the other ones, Ewwww!). They took a liking of me as I did of them, and I remember the whole afternoon I was feeding them tangerines, since then monkeys are just something I treasure ( I would not own one, I read the news, but I own several stuffed ones) deeply!

Scrapping Baby pictures

I have finally finished my DH Marine pictures, now I am free to do whatever. Use flowers, ribbons, pretty colors...but...

I had my baby pictures (from 1976 and on) in an old album my mom had neatly put together. However, they were getting messed up so I thought...i will do an album for my mom. If I thought doing my mom's wedding album was hard, I was wrong. Thanks to my Dear friend, I have learned to journal and I feel it is important to at least put something there. Well, if I was 4 months old I do not remember anything, and I cannot ask my mom since the album its a surprise...so what do I do?

I found some little notes on the back of some pictures, but not enough to journal. Mostly I have found the age I was, and of course I know my dad, mom, cousins, and me! but should I just put the months, or age I was and not journal????

My Scrappy Room

I've been fixing my scrapbook room since I moved to my new house in November (knowing me I will change it again...) But for now, I think I am content with the way it looks and its functionaly. The room is not that big, but the lighting is great.

I have actually raised my table, and have discovered that scrapbooking standing up is not as bad as I thought. This is my scrapbooking table. Under I keep my papers in an Elfa rolling cart I customized. The two drawers keep several cutters, trimmers and paper scraps. The other cart has 3 drawers, for picture cutters, and cases of embellishments. I also have my small Cricut, and my scrap file.

This is where the closet is supposed to be. I took the doors out, and opened the space to make it bigger. I installed several shelves, also from Elfa, and a destop, which I sometimes use for small projects. I have an OTT Lite to iluminate the space. I have most of my supplies here. My stamps, inks, paper, albums, and unscrapped pictures. I also have my cameras and memory cards.

I have a bookcase that holds my printers, photo paper, and other Scrapbook computer programs.

I placed two drawer units that hold other supplies.

This is an overall view of my room from the door. My desk, wall unit, computer desk which actually houses my cricut expression, jukebox and my many cartridges....

Hope you enjoyed the visit to my room.

Happy Scrappin'

Summer Scrapbooking is on!

After eight busy busy months of the school year I can finally get to enjoy a couple of weeks off. Since I tutor I still have to work in the summer, but not as bad as the regular school year.

I have created my first summer layout for my LSS Sketch Challange. I had this papers for a while and I could not wait to use them, I just had no idea how or which pictures. Then I saw the Sketch, and decided to scrap this picture from a recent cruise. I have been in 5 cruises, and this is the only time when the fire drill picture actually is scrapable...obviously I did not take it!

I really hope to get scrapping this summer, I have lots of pics stacked up.

My First Blog...

After many months of hearing the word BLOG, I finally learned what it was...and here it is my first blog corner.

Ok, so I have no idea how to create a cute litte page background, or add pictures, or even what my web address is... but I am doing baby steps.

Most important, this blog is about scrapbooking, new techniques and other stuff.

So to all stopping by do not hesitate to say Hi.
