Finally...

So today was one of those days that I was home all by myself. Colby went to school and Trevin went to the day care. We have decided that although I will be home some Tuesdays & Thursdays to watch Trevin we still wanted to take him to the day care to give him some time with other kids and allow me to get some things done around the house. So I got up and did all my motherly chores and then decided it was a PJ kinda day. Yup. I brushed my teeth, ate breakfast, did chores, and then.....Scrapbooked! I cannot even begin to tell you the last time I got to do something like this! With moving and getting settled I have not had any time at all to do any scrapbooking. The cards were made all from scraps that I had. I normally don't make a lot of cards (I leave that one up to Tana) but I decided to give it a shot.
I found these two pictures in my jewelry box (because my son found them on the table when Hilary brought them over and that was where they got stuck so he couldn't get to them) and so I decided to scrapbook them today. This first one is not something I would normally do but I saw one like it and decided to try something new! Do you like it?
When I was a nurse at CVMC I had a patient who's wife worked for a scrapbooking magazine. We got talking and she asked me for my home address so she could sent me free stuff. I was a little hesitant because we are not allowed to accept gifts but after talking to my director he said it would be fine as long as she isn't the one paying for the stuff (she gets tons of free stuff and a lot of it was duplicates). To my surprise, she has actually sent me two packages loaded with scrapbooking stuff and she also sends me a Free subscription to Scrapbook Trends Magazine (the company she works for). The supplies used in these last two photos were all free stuff she gave me. I have tons more and I am excited to start scrapbooking again!
