Well I must admit, at first I was a bit skeptical about the whole camping experience.  My first requirements were being up off the ground.  No tent camping for me.  Then to get more specific there needed to be bathroom facilities along with a shower.  So once all these requirements were met, we planned our first weekend out.
I must say the experience was much more fun than anticipated, and although...

Here's another recently completed layout.  Every year I get the kids something little for Valentine's Day.  Not long ago they both got Ipods and love filling them  with music and videos, so what better Valentine gift than an Itunes gift card.

For some reason I've been in the mood to scrap Easter.  Usually once the holiday passes its not until its approach the next year that I get the urge to scrap those pictures.  But this year that is different.  Not sure if its my recent supply of new Easter stickers and embellishments or just receiving my  pictures back from Scrapbookpictures.com.  I've also taken on the BIG PICTURE scrapbooking...

It took 5 rolls of tape to adhere all the pieces!

The other day I was inspired when I seen one of Zach's camp pictures and decided to get a layout about 6th grade camp done.  I decided I also wanted him to write his memories of camp, which I'm sure he'll  appreciate one day.  I was happy with the layouts - though not real happy with my scans??
