We got back pretty early yesterday, so I was able to participate in my Friday night speed scrap. I scrapped one of our Florida pictures since I had just gotten them off the camera. I used What's Up, Buttercup? by Geek Chic Scraps.

I am sick now, but hopefully it's just a normal cold. We are leaving tomorrow for Tucson!

I need to force myself off the computer and to bed here soon, due to our 6 a.m. flight in the morning. I am already feeling withdrawals from my little computer community, but I am forcing myself to leave the laptop at home and have a real vacation. Scot is bringing his so I will check my email, but that's about it. There is plenty of other stuff to do in sunny Florida!

The layout I posted last time with my mom and the kids in the background was voted layout of the week at Plain Digital Wrapper, much to my pleasant surprise! It is such a nice forum, and I'm happy to be a part of it. I am also being featured as a scrapper of the week on the blog at Brownie Scraps tomorrow. That is one of my other favorite forums, so I am feeling honored this week!

Owen had his performance at the talent show tonight, and managed to get through it despite being nervous. I think he did a good job, especially since it was his own song that he did. We weren't able to stay for the 2nd half of the program because of not wanting to keep the kids out late, but it was fun to watch and there were some really cute acts.

I have been scrapping our Georgetown day trip from last summer. I have another layout that I can't post yet until Friday.

I went out and got all my Easter shopping done today. I knew I wouldn't have a lot of time between trips to get stuff, and I would rather not wait until the last minute and everything is picked over. They had a lot of cute stuff at Target, like these frames with a little soccer ball in the corner. I also had to get some new sandals since we only have one pair that fits anyone. I got out all the short and t-shirts and the kids were trying stuff on yesterday to see what still fits. Luckily most of it still does so we are all set for the trip!

Between dentist appointments and rehearsal for the talent show, we have had to get up earlier than usual the last two mornings. I am looking forward to a normal schedule tomorrow, even though it does include work.

These are the layouts I did with Marni Designs new kits Little Boy Blue and Little Buddy. I think I will be using Little Boy Blue to scrap the rest of my 4th of July pictures since the colors match the outfits the kids were wearing that day.

Marni Designs has two new kits coming out tomorrow. I have a sneak peek for one of them. I had an easy time working with these since they are both boy-themed with great colors. I can't wait to post my layouts tomorrow!

I ordered a new toy today, a Flip Video Camera. It's digital and small, and you can put your videos on the computer easily, unlike our other one with the tapes. I picked 2-day shipping so it will be here in time for our trips, plus the talent show on Friday.

I just found out an hour ago that tonight was spring forward night. I hate this time change! I would much rather gain an hour. I will have to force myself to go to bed a little early, I guess.

Owen has been complaining about not feeling well off and on since Friday evening, and I've had a mild sore throat. It seems we always get sick at this time of year, but hopefully it's nothing much.

Lots of layouts to post today! This first one is from a new kit by Julie. It is. called Vivre:



After dinner, I decided to my usual Friday night speed scrap, and this is the result. I used a kit that I won just today from Modern June called Bohemian Chic. I think I will be using it again soon since I didn't get to use a lot of the great paper. We had to pick solids for this speed scrap.



I also decided to get a bunch of my layouts printed up since there was a sale going on. I can't wait for them to arrive! I had 92 pages to print, which didn't even include my layouts from the last few weeks. I won't save up so many next time, but at least I got a nice discount from the sale!
