Sponsor Giveaways: Evalicious, Scrapbooking From The Inside Out, Allison Strine

My son graduates in a couple months *EEK* so I have been trying to work on more layouts for his albums for display at his graduation party!

I've been working on creating a more peaceful environment at home = no tv, clean house, rested body. Thanks for the chance to win!

Being caught up with my own pictures, I just started rescuing my husband's baby pics from those horrid old albums and turning them in to nice 8.5X11 pages. It will be an undertaking, for sure! But, in the process, I'm rediscovering the man I fell in love with 10 years ago - it's fun to retell his story from the beginning and get a sense of what made him into the man I'm so madly in love with today. It's something I didn't expect to have happen, but it's a great surprise!

I've been making 350 'bath tea' packets to be used as table favors for a ladies' event at church. The theme is 'soul spa' so I suggested these little favors.

I've been working on wedding invitations for my uncle. I just love looking at paper samples, digital brushes and new fonts.

I have slipped lately, but hope to get started working soon on scanning all of my grandfather's love letters to my grandmother. I have bundles and bundles of them that were sent during his time overseas in WWII (she was pregnant with their first child at the time--my aunt). The goal is to get them all scanned and collect a good portion of them into a book for my mom and aunt. Maybe in time for Christmas this year? Keeping my fingers crossed! :)

I have been working on my blog background trying to spring it up. Spring makes me happy www.designsfrmthehrt.blogspot.com On there are copies of what I am working on and am taking Karen Russels camera course and my pictures are getting soooooooooo much better!

I've been busy trying to get ready for a last minute trip to Florida for Spring Break!

I AM CAMERA GIRL! So that would make me smile, BIG. As would any of the lovely items.

I've been working on a project for a "mini-retreat" for some out of town girlfriends -- 8 note cards, a perpetual birthday calendar and a pocket folder to keep everything together!

as a mother of infant twins, i am working on finding a balance in my life - one that includes staying on top of the day-to-day tasks and surrendering.

I've been making so many birthday gifts!! My kids are constantly bringing home invitations, and I really believe that a homemade gift is so much fun, so that's what I've been doing.

I've been working on moving my oldest daughter into my craftroom after painting it and getting her all brand new furnitures from Ikea and putting them all together, which is a huge job. Then moving my 7 month old baby into big-sisters old bedroom and getting all of my craftsupplies into a small corner of my bedroom! So now after of my craft/scrapbooksupplies have been stored in cardboardboxes for a month I can finally scrapbooking again!

I've been working on simplifying my life and house and scrapbooking. I've been purging things that are just clutter. I'm already starting to feel "free" again and the creativity starting to flow again.

St. Patrick's was my 19th wedding aniversary. I have been working on an album for my husband that showed him how he changed my life. He adopted both my daughters, so his commitment wasn't just to me.I really wanted to convey what a wonderful life he has given us. Putting that in words has been a challenge and I am not finished with the album yet.

Making an Easter dress for my daughter and finishing up the December Daily project still (oops!).

I am working on redefining myself from "Scrapper" to a more expansive title: "Artist".

I've been working more on me as a person vs. craft lately. Don't get me wrong, I totally miss the crafting! I look at it as investing in myself in order to be able to make MORE time for crafty goodness down the road. I have a couple of albums waiting for me to pick up again and finish (including my Dec. Daily!).

I've been working on a mini album for my sister. Of an impromptu overnight stay at my house, and a visit to the Botanical Gardens. Thanks for the chance to win!

I have been going through all of my scrapbook stuff and organizing it. It feels so good! Now I can go "shopping" in my own supplies and feel like I've found some new stuff! I'm looking at some things differently, now that they are organized with different things. I'm looking forward to being more efficient with my craft.

I have been working on my photography skills. Doing lots of research online and through books. Trying to do better at capturing every day moments.

I am currently working on the Shimelle class Here, There and Everywhere. I have my pix organized now I just need to get cracking on the creative bits.

I have been working on a nursery for our surprise little one due May 5. I will be working on her scrapbook as soon as the nursery gets painted.

I made a page to jot down some short things I did in March. I used a date stamp to stamp random dates on the page, and now I'm filling that out as the days go by. I'll add a few pictures when the page is done.

I have been working on baking. I'm in a baking mode of trying new things, using decorator tips and making lots of pretty cookies. Just another art form I suppose! I'm ready to get inspired and get back to paper and glue! Happy day!
