Happy 1st Day of Spring!!

It was a beautiful 1st day of Spring in CA. It was about 80 out and just perfect. I was bummed that dh had a to work today because we could have done something fun outdoors. Maybe tomorrow! We did go out back and plant some flowers and play in the hose. I didn't get the camera but I need to because Daniel is a crack up with the hose. He laughs so hard it's funny!!
So just some random photos today. This first one is a new little sign I found at Marshalls this week. I found it in the kids toy area, random, but I loved it!! Kinda makes me think of spring with the little birdie on it! I have been so inspired by all the home blogs that I have found and been reading lately! Makes me want to redecorate!

I have to share one of Daniel since I haven't in a while. Today we were busy cleaning in the morning and when the vacuum comes out he has to take over. it's hard for me to get it back once it's in his hands!!

We got a lot done in the house today. I have been working on reorganizing my scrapbooking stuff this week and today I was able to get rid of this table!!! It's back in the garage where it belongs!!!
Here is the before picture:

Aww so much better!! More to come later!!

ANd lastly a sneak peek at my April Scrap Our Stash challenge. I made it on the same day I made my March challenge lo. I really love how this one turned out, can't wait to share it!


Enjoy the rest of your weekend!!!

March Challenge lo!

Our challenge this month at Scrap our Stash was to use old and new on your lo. I used a lot of old on this lo since I have tried to stop buying stuff until I use up some old products. So the only new things here are the buttons and I used my new Martha Stewart punch.

Come play along with us this month!

I have a few other pages to share. On Friday I went to my good friend Michelle's to scrapbook. We had so much fun adn I completed three los!!! I love scrapbooking with her. She is so talented and helps me out!! Thanks Michelle!!



Michelle took the pictures in both these bottom two lo's. They were taken at Disney's Trick-or-treat Party this last fall.

Have a great St.Patrick's week!!!

Spring cleaning?

Well it's spring cleaning and time to get organized!! Look at my mess!!! It's crazy!! At Scrap Our Stash this month we are challenging you to clean up your scrap stuff! I definately needed to do this. So here is my before and hopefully very soon I will have a clean space, or spaces I should say, to show you!

I am a little embarrassed to show off my mess! It's really bad at the moment! But this challenge is what I needed!! For starters I don't really have my supplies in one area. In fact I even have a few things hiding in a closet that I forgot to take a picture of. When my son was born my office/scrap room also turned into a guest room. I had to move my scrapping table out and into the dining room. So needless to say I am limited on space.
So in my office/ everything room I have my jars of ribbon, well some ribbon. I also have the white shleves with buttons and other misc. small items. Then I have the three drawer rubbermaid with ribbons, which my son constantly pulls out, chipboard letters, paint and stamps.



In my dining room I have the table which started off being there just to scrap on but as you can see it is where I just stack stuff up. I now scrap on the dining room table. I leave my tool bag, journaling tags and baby embellishments on the table. In the shelf I store my scrapbooks on the top shelf. The middle shelf has my clear containers with all my letter stickers. The bottom shelf has old books. I think this is where I should start, I could use this shelf for scrapbooking stuff.




I am thinking of ways to get all my stuff into one space, not sure if I can do that but I have all month!! I hope I can do it! Thanks Kathy for the start!

Come play along too!
