Tisket a Tasket

This is one of my most favorite layouts that I did. Tisket a Tasket mom and I made our first baskets. The pictures are of the Longaberger basket company in Dresden Ohio. Mom and I got to make our own longaberger baskets. It was a ton of fun. I weaved the paper like we did on your baskets! Enjoy!

My Eyes

My awesome Soul Sister Deb, created this theme challenge.

Elements needed in Layout:
"No sir, I will not take that for granted."
A stamped Image
ribbon

I used fairly new SEI patterned paper and I embossed with copper for the butterly stamped image.

My mom told me to use my eyes for something that I don't take for granted. I have rare disorder called Kerataconus. It means that my corneas are degenerating. Glasses help very little. I squint a lot! I am hoping with the new doctor I am working with he will find me some contacts that do not hurt and that will help to see, otherwise I will have to have a corneal transplant surgery. That is something that I sure don't want to do!

Shopping Girls, and I am...

These two layouts were created for two challenges that my Soul Sisters came up with.

The first one is a Sketch challenge. I did a layout on my friend Sam and I and our adventures shopping at the Dress Barn.

The Second one is a Theme Challenge. The challenge was to Scrapbook what you are using I am a.... I am a scrapbooker, friend, daughter, traveler, mom, Packer fan, Brewer fan, educational assitant, and a fisherwoman.

New Season

american idol logo, originally uploaded by New Media Literacies.

After all the auditions in different cities, I am happy that Idol is gone live again. I highly recommend DVR's for shows like this. I can speed through the commercials and the jibber jabber and hear the performances. Simon is his usual self and Ellen is a great addition to the show!

I'm Hooked!

Curling at Helsinki Sports Expo, originally uploaded by Pink Beret.

With the Olympics in full swing, I find myself mesmerized by this sport known as Curling. It's sort of boring but I can't stop watching it. I don't understand the sport or what the point process is, but I love it!
