I used This Old House Kit by Mandy Made, here is a preview of this beautiful kit which contains 12 papers and 33 elements and it's available at the Digi Scrapbook Mania Shop.

Here is a preview of the Participation Prize if you join in on the fun at DSM:

Hello everyone...Happy 4th of July! I hope everyone has a FUN and SAFE holiday weekend. I won't have any new firework photos to show off but we are doing other things instead...hopefully I can sit down and do some LO's soon. I have been so busy with work I haven't participated in very much in the digital world. I have also started reading Twilight...my daughter insisted! It's okay so far and I can see why teenagers go bananas!

You know I just don't know which is harder, starting a new job or running your household once you've gotten home. It's been a roller coaster week! I'm completely exhausted...I didn't think I would be this tired but I am. It's going to take some getting used to, especially now that the kids aren't going to be as tired because it's summer. Speaking of which, on a positive note, I love all the different free activities for summer!! We just went to the Starlight Parade last Saturday...the kids had a great time. Other FREE things to do this summer:

2009 Beaverton School District FREE LUNCH PROGRAM
2009 Regal Cinemas FREE FAMILY FILM FESTIVAL

As I find other things to do for free I will post them.

that it's the end of the school year, the beginning of summer and 2009 is half gone already!! Although I am looking forward to the nicer weather that we have during the summer months...it gives us a chance to get outside! What are your plans this summer? We plan on going to parades, festivals, lakes, swimming, hiking and camping. On top of everything else, I got a new job!! I started today...for those of you looking - your time will come! For those of you lucky enough to not be a part of this horrible job market - feel forever grateful! It's tough out there and the longer you are out of work the harder it is to get a job. Anyhow, I have to get moving over to my favorite forum...it's Speed Scrap time!! Check out the new schedule I just posted...you should really join us, we have such a great time! You'll really LOL & anyone who is home with you will think you've lost your mind!

Gosh, I thought I had just posted yesterday...but, no, I was wrong again! Well, I'm finally starting a new job on Monday...yipee! I'm so excited!! I will be able to keep up with this better & finally get a schedule I can live with & do what I need to. As for scrapbooking layouts, I didn't get as many done as I would have liked but I did get some cute ones done. I'm putting my things together in an online album.

News about Digi Scrapbook Mania!!!

We are moving to a NEW FORUM on June 1st! Please join us! We have so much fun....

Well, I don't even know where to begin. I start a blog and then drop it and I think I ran...somebody whip me into shape. Speaking of which, I got a wild hair up (you know where) and decided that I was going to try and workout the other day...oohh, bad idea! I didn't realize I was so out of shape! I couldn't even walk the next day...I need help and motivation to try it again but I really don't want to not walk again. Although, my kids did enjoy the fact that I couldn't keep up with them to save my life. On another note, I did survive a field trip to the Children's Museum with my daughters kindergarten class and her schools Annual Carnival.
Anywho, are you keeping up with the Scrapbooking Challenges over at Digi Scrapbook Mania?? I know I'm not...boy do I have some catching up to do. I also updated the schedule for their Speed Scrap times. If you have another site that you would like to see their schedule or have anything you'd like me to add just leave me a note!

So I ended up making two layouts today...my kids actually behaved long enough for me to do so! The first one was made for the Speed Scrap tonight, it's my niece who has such a personality at a really young age. The second is my grandparents, my daughter actually took this picture. I thought this was a great moment that she captured.

Wow, I can't believe how quickly this year has gone by already! Wasn't it just January?? Today is Kayley's 6th Birthday. This morning I took her to school and her class sang Happy Birthday then we had cookies and apple juice...she was soooo embarrassed, it was really cute. Kindergartners are the cutest kids ever, they all said 'Thank you Kayley's mom' when they were done. (Gosh, what would it be like to be so innocent again??) Anyway, I will post pictures as soon as I can get them loaded on my computer.

I'm off to go see the challenge of the day over at Digi Scrapbook Mania, you should join me!

Head on over to Digi Scrapbook Mania where a different challenge will be posted everyday!!

I created these layouts today for challenges over at Digi Scrapbook Mania

I'm new to blogging and still an amateur at scrapbooking but I want (and need) a way for my thoughts to escape me. I have many, many passions in life and am learning everyday. My children keep me very busy and sometimes completely overwhelmed but I would be incomplete without them. I plan on posting about different things all the time...so feel free to share your thoughts!
