When a house is quiet.......
And the toddler is NOT sleeping.....
What do you think she's doing?
Yes.....do you think she wants to do what mommy does? I was busy sorting laundry or something like that, upstairs, and Lil' Missy had made her way downstairs to get into some sort of trouble....of course. But then I noticed that the house was awfully quiet. When I went downstairs, this was what I found. She had climbed on the couch, pulled my laptop off of the side table, and sat herself down on the couch with the laptop and was busy pushing buttons. Thinking that she was the greatest thing ever (which of course she is!) Then she pushed the blue shiny button that turns the laptop off. This is what happened next...

She's actually starting to get mad here because the screen has gone blank. Then she started pounding on the keyboard and I had to take the laptop away.

I tried to participate in another My Mind's Eye layout contest. But the layout I made didn't feel inspired enough to send in...so I didn't. Instead I'll post it here because the picture I used is pretty cute. The title says "Sweet like sugar" but the one thing I really dislike about acetate embellishments is that sometimes the colours they use on the acetate do not show up against anything (cardstock) put underneath. And My Mind's Eye does a lot of acetate embellishments unfortuneately. Anyhow.....I'm still plugging away on scrapbooking our Arizona trip we took last year at the end of April. I'm beginning to wonder if I'll get it finished before the end of April this year. I really hope so.............

I've got 2! Count 'em....2! More halloween layouts. I just have to photograph them. So instead I'll show my solution to putting multiple pictures on a 12x12 page. I like this solution as it's quick and easy and gives the ability to just fill the scrapbook with necessary pictures.

So the first picture is one side, and the next picture is the flip side. I had 7 pictures that I didn't feel like devoting layouts too, yet I really wanted them in my scrapbook. So this was my solution. I'm rather proud of myself and I think they turned out great.

Some random thoughts: 1.) I think blogger has a mind of it's own. Kind of sucks. 2.) Yes...I'm ready for spring. 3.) My days fly by way too fast. 4.) Right now I have a thousand projects flipping through my head....and no time to actually accomplish them. 5.) I'm going to work on my masterpieces for submission to Canadian Scrapbooker.....now!
