Post Beach

Um, ow.  Yeah, I've got a little bit of a sunburn.  The boys all look like lobsters and it makes me want to melt some butter.  :)  I took a lot of pictures but I'm having trouble with my card reader at the moment.
:(  I was really wanting to get some scrapping done today but we're rearranging bedrooms and such - and we're all in pain.

Need to Update/Revamp and a Giveaway

So, um, yeah, I see I still have a Christmas-themed blog header. I need to get busy with the old Photoshop. *blush* I also need to go through the house and take a bunch of before and during pictures of some of the things we're painting and stuff. And I need to figure out why my paper trimmer is all gummy and sticky!!!

And a beautiful blog that I follow, http://arosynote.blogspot.com/2011/05/my-firstgiveaway.html , is having a giveaway of some lovely vintage-inspired things. (And I must find my notes to remember how to put hyperlinks in with just the blog name!!! Sorry Tricia!)

Headed to the beach tomorrow for a short but fun trip with the family. The boys have no idea we're going but they LOVE it!

Time to Start Again

Wow. I looked at the last time I posted and it was in January 2009! What in the world have I been doing the past 2+ years?? Obviously busy. Clearly not scrapping. *sigh* Ok, it's time to start anew. Well, not really "anew" since this isn't exactly a "new" blog. But it's time to kick it in again. Not that I anticipate having any more time than I have the past 2 years. But we're redecorating the house, I hope to be starting back to school in the fall, football season will be starting soon, I'll have a high schooler, and still working. I also want to start scrapping again. So maybe this will keep me a tiny bit accountable for all of that. (?)

OK, so I've been completely distracted this year. Jason deployed again and I've just been in a whirlwind for the past few weeks. But thanks to a great friend, I've gathered my focus and I'm ready to start creating and chatting again.

So watch out! I've got the February A Kiss on the Chic kit on my desk and I'll be posting some stuff with in over the next week. Go check out the peeks on the blog (look over to the right and click on Laura's blog)!

Dude, seriously? I've already mangled a resolution? I can't even keep up with a stupid blog? Of course, when I'm not scrapping much, there's not as much to share.

I will get back to scrapping shortly. I took a much needed and appreciated holiday break. But I miss it.

Resolutions

OK, so I know I should have done this on the 1st but this has been an unusually busy holiday season. Jason was home on leave as he was getting ready to leave again. The holidays are always busy anyway.

So onto resolutions.

One should be to blog more/better. Is that a correct sentence? Anyway, I need to update at least once a week. That should be easy. And with doing A Kiss on the Chic designs, it should be automatic!

Another will be to sleep more. I know, you're thinking what kind of resolution is that? But I truly do not get enough sleep and it's my own fault. So I resolve to get more sleep.

Another is to get back to drinking water more often. That also should be easy as I have plenty here at work.

Another will be to be better at household upkeep. I can't let it get into a sty as often. It takes too long to clean it up.

And last is the Project 365. I have to take a picture and jot a note EVERY DAY. I'm determined to keep up with this...now I just need a camera. :)

Oh good grief!

Man, has it really been that long since I posted? I get into these grooves where I'm posting frequently and doing all the stuff I'm supposed to do. And then I get distracted and forget the other things.

What distracted me? FACEBOOK! Thanks, Laura. *roll eyes*

So, I hope you had a Merry Christmas. Santa was good to us. We've got LOTS of video games to play now. I got some scrappy goodness and several cool cookbooks.

The holidays are about over and it's time to get back to scrapping. A Kiss on the Chic won't be having a January kit but we'll all be back at it in February! I can't wait!
