I discovered a new scrapbooking site that was set up based on a challenge by Ali Edwards a while back. Check out One Little Word. At the end of their latest post you will also find some links to some scrapbooking kits. My favorite is still Jenni Bowlin, she has a good eye for what works together. Also found a new kit, looks nice but a bit on the expensive side. And check this out Scrap Your Man contest, how fun!
I am scrapping with the girls this weekend, hopefully will get a couple of pages done. I am also taking a couple girls to the Des Moines Farmer's Market, I can't believe that they have never been there. It's huge and they have everything. I am hoping to pick up some fresh flowers and some home made rootbeer.
My hubby comes home today, I have enjoyed hogging the bed & covers but have not enjoyed being paranoid that the boogy man is lurking in the dark spaces. And with him home he can decide what to do about the crater that the dog dug.
I am hoping to have some pictures to post next time, maybe sometime this weekend. I have been taking pictures of the progress of my blooming peonies.

Two things that made me smile today:

So I pretty much had a crappy night last night. Husband's gone, could not fall asleep and when I did I had scary dreams about Death Eaters and Voldemort (Harry Potter stuff). Penny woke me up at 5 this morning b/c she was whining to go out so I gave in and let her out. I crawl back into bed all mad and practically in tears b/c I had to get up earlyto let the dog out. I had just fallen asleep when I am awoken by strange noises outside. When I can't stand the noise anymore (5:40) I get up and look out the window and Penny is trying to dig a hole under the fence!!! I throw on my robe and run outside. I was so frickin' pissed, still am. I am tired and crabby and told Penny she will have to spend the rest of her week on her rope. Damn dog.

As you will be able to see I like my layouts pretty simple and minimal. Most are works in progress, just a little at a time. And you will notice that I have trouble journaling, I don't like to do it even though down the road I wish I had.
