one project down...many to go!

I've been looking for a quiet book for Sam. After looking all over, I decided it would be cheapest to make one myself. I know kids like pictures, so I made this ABC book up out of pictures from Sam's first 15 months. So far he enjoys it!

Yeah, I know I'm missing some pages, but I'm not quite smart enough for blogger. :) Does anyone know the trick to uploading multiple photos in the order you want? I'd like to be able to move pics around to change the order they appear on a post, but can't seem to be able to do that.

"monkey boy"

Here's my latest layout. I had fun cutting the squares and using buttons on this one. But the best part was the monkey paper -- I love it!!!

scrapbook crazy!

For those of you who scrapbook, you know how easy it is to go crazy at a sale. For other people it's clothes. Lucky for me that all 14 of these items cost $50 instead of double that. Elton took Sam and I ran off to Centerville this morning to collect my stash.

Included in my loot:

*halloween scrapbook page kit (222 pcs)

*halloween line art stickers (81 stickers)

*holiday magnetic stamp sayings (42 rubber stamps)

*holiday paint set (3 paints)

*childhood shimmer kit (6 bottles glitter)

*black & white jigsaw shapes (52 pcs)

*animal crackers 8x8 album kit (122 pcs)

*animal crackers epoxy shapes (30 pcs)

*animal crackers felt shapes (30 pcs)

*animal crackers velvet brads (20 pcs)

*5th avenue blossoms & buttons (160 pcs)

*vellum star tags (12 tags)

*journaling stamps (7 stamps)

*classic mixed alpha stamps (69 stamps)

Not too bad, huh? I'm so excited to get to work now! Thanks for listening to me ramble with the details :) Now I'm just waiting for their new Slice cutter to come out and hoping it won't be as much as the Cricut! Check out whyslice.com to see what I'm talking about.
