Not so perfect scrapping




Ever do a page and then when it is done, you see it as being sloppy or not perfect? Well this is one of them and I think it is because of my icky handwriting. I love the rub-on words that I used and the picture is adorable but my handwriting makes it look sloppy. BUT...I realized after doing this page and staring at it for a while that it isn't about the embellishments or the perfect aligning of the layout.........it is about preserving the memory! I love this picture of my daughter and think it captures the little girl as well as the growing teenager and I think I got that thought across and preserved it in my layout in my own handwriting..........that is what matters most...don't you agree?

PS...the top and bottom words aren't appearing very clear in this scan so let me say that the top says.... Live, celebrate, discover, enjoy, delight, achieve and the bottom says... Be bold, cherish, be happy, bloom, be alive, discover. This large rub-on is from Deju Views.

Kathy Griffin Show



We saw the Kathy Griffin show last night and she was spectacular!! Our seats were really good...right off to the side up one section.

Kathy is known for dishing about A-List celebrities and claims to be on the "D-List" which is the name of her show on the Bravo station...Life on the D List.

After regularly watching her TV show, we were hoping we hadn't seen all of her schtick already but her show last night was fresh, current and belly-laugh funny. She is not afraid to speak her mind and make fun of A-List people. Hubby and I laughed from start to finish at her 1 hour and 40 mins show.

14th Anniversary


For our 14th Wedding Anniversary, we didn't do anything out of the ordinary. We did go out for dinner with my Mom and exchanged cards but I wanted to mark the day with a scrapbook page. I love the picture my daughter took of us kissing and in my journaling I wrote...14 years of kissing! Nowadays with so much divorce in this world, we appreciate our wonderful marriage. I believe the world would be a better place if more people felt loved....what is that Beatles song....All you need is love....

PS -- I guess I really like using these numbers by Junkitz in my LO's because I just glanced down my blog a few entries and saw the LO I did of my daughter turning 13 and I used the numbers there in a similar fashion.
