Cropping the week away ...

So, you should all know by now that I LOVE scrapbooking. And my favorite scrapbook site ever is ScrapAddict. We have such an awesome community there, wonderful kits, all the newest products and tons of inspiration. Oh, and it's got the absolutel BEST designers every (ok, maybe I'm a little bias ... LOL). It's truly an amazing site!

This winter we at SA threw a cyber-crop. I spent all my free time last week scrapping.

There were tons of great challenges to get us inspired and motivated. I ended up completing 15 layouts, which is more than I usually do in a month. And I totally LOVED the layouts that I did.

I won 1st place in the Ultimate Scrappers Challenge and am now enjoying the gift certificate I earned from that (OK, I guess I enjoyed it is more precise since I just bought some awesome new ScrapAddict kits with it ...).

Anyways, just wanted to send my thanks out to all my friends from ScrapAddict who helped inspire me and played along.

Here are some of my favorite layouts I completed during the crop. Enjoy. :)

I love that Getting to Know Me layout! I will be scraplifting that one.

And doesn't Carissa just look GREAT with that pink glove! I saw all sorts of girl gear in the sports section and wished that Hannah would be more "sporty"....but she's the little artist, enjoying a week of "Art Class" while on spring break!

I've always been such an admirer of your scrapping style, Annette. You have a "clean style" but there is always something about each page that is amazing!

Height Check ...

Image
I knew it would happen eventually -- today just happened to be the day. Twice a year we mark the kids heights and ages on our piece of wood kept especially for this purpose. The last several years Tristan has been steadily gaining inches on Chase, coming closer and closer to Chase's height. Today was the day when he surpassed his brothers height. Take a look at the closeup of the stick. Tristan, at age 9 1/2, just barely edged out Chase, age 11 1/2. While Chase knew it was coming, he is not exactly thrilled at the prospect of being smaller than his "little" brother. He, understandably, does not think this is fair. We've had some very frank discussions the last few months about the fact that Tristan is going to be bigger. He has Brian's "big" gene and is going to be a tall and brawny guy like his Dad. Chase on the other hand got a lot of my genes and will probably be a more average height. Tristan is thrilled to be bigger than Chase and has done a good jo...

The 40 minutes I force myself to walk the treadmill are the longest, most excruciating 40 minutes of my life. I've never been a physical kind of girl - I never did sports as a child, never worked out, etc. So someone please tell me the secret to loving exercise because at this point I am NOT getting it!
