Sunset in Grand Cayman!

Published by Tracy on July 30, 2008

A month? Seriously?!?! WOW.

To be honest, I haven’t done any new crafting in that time. It’s disgraceful, I know. Part of my problem is my craft space is a PIG STY. I’m slowly working on gaining control in this room, but it’s clearly a huge undertaking.

I have an all-day crop I’m going to on Saturday with a bunch of my scrapping girls; Donna, Nicole, Darla, Amanda, Jill, Deb, Sandy, Sonia, and Mom! It’s going to be so much fun! We’re going to be spending the day at one of my favorite scrapbooking stores - Treasury of Memories! I had pictures printed last weekend for 2 mini-albums I’m going to be doing. I know what papers I’m going to use for one, and I just have to pack everything up and I’ll be good to go!!

This is a scrapbook page that I did at the June Retreat I went to. I had a ton of pictures from the sunset on the beach. I just kept clicking so it was in all stages. I didn’t really know of a good way to scrap this - and came up with this. This was a pre-printed CTMH base page, but I changed it up. The basic design is the same though.

Enjoy!

Supplies: CTMH Chocolate Base Page, Bazzill Cardstock, CTMH Grosgrain white ribbon, CTMH Circle Window Charms

Our Greatest Glory …

… is not in never failing, but in rising every time we fail.

I love that saying. I made this card a couple of weeks ago. These are the colors that I’m really feeling these days. They are pretty fall-ish I suppose, butso pretty together.

I hope you all had a great 4th of July. It was a fairly quiet weekend for me. I did happen to snap this picture the night of the 4th on our way out to see the fireworks! I think it really turned out very cool! (There’s no editing here, I don’t know how to do that … yet … I am the proud owner of this
book though, so hopefully soon I’ll figure it out!)

Happy Blogoversary To Me!

WOW! I almost missed it! 40 minutes to spare! It’s been a busy Holiday for me and finally just turned my computer on about 10 minutes ago. It’s still quite loud in my neighborhood, and since I’ve been up since 5am, I’m really hoping things will slow down soon!

Anyway, I started my Blog one year ago today!!! :) WOOHOO!!! And for all you Americans - I hope you had a great 4th of July!!!

So, since I last posted, I also had a Birthday last weekend. I turned 33! To celebrate, I did this:

For those that know me, they know this means I cut a good 10-12 inches off my hair! Talk about crazy. I’m happy with the a-line cut I have now though, it’s just taking a bit of getting used to. I’m still having major shampoo issues - as in I’m trying to use way too much!!! LOL

I also bought myself a new car about 3 weeks ago - a new 2008 Ford Escape! I LOVE IT!

So, there’s all the catch up on me!

Here are the last 3 cards from the Thank You card kit I made at my Retreat a couple of weekends ago!

Stay tuned in the next couple of days - I’ll be throwing out some Blog Candy to celebrate a few things - my new car, my Birthday, my Blogoversary AND I see I’ve gone over 15,000 hits!!! Have a great weekend everyone!
