Birthday Fun

It was a very fun birthday. I met Carrie, Minda, & her cousin Emily at the beach, and we had a great time chatting and letting the kids play. Then last night, we went out for dinner with Scott & Minda.

Say, who is that strange man sitting next to me? It's my husband! Yes, he's home!

Pay It Forward - Scrapping Style

I got this from Lisa Marie's blog and I must say that it is a great idea.

"The whole idea is paying it forward, just like the movie Pay it Forward. Only we are doing this scrapping style.

What happens in the first 3 people to comment in this thread will receive a RAK from me of a small scrapbooking embelishment. Then you promise to blog about it too and then do the same thing to the first 3 people that leave a message for you and so on and so on."

Been Scrappin', part II

I emptied my pockets to do laundry, and found my memory card. So here are those pictures!

Been Scrappin'

Ok, I did two different layouts about family today. I intended to post them here, but the full sized files are on my camera which is conveniently at Minda's house.

Be Nice

Today is my parents 39th Anniversary! Love you both.

I got this yesterday:

First, I would like to say that I have a bizarre sense of pride about my blood donating skills. (Skills? HA!) When I got there, already in the chairs were a lady police officer, and a big tough looking guy. I did the thing, read my book as I gave blood, got up and went over to get some juice. The tough guy was going through the steps to keep him from fainting, and the lady cop was too woozy to stand. Now, in any other test of strength or general studliness, I would SO lose. But by some total fluke of fate and body chemistry, I AM a blood donating queen! What a stupid thing to feel pride in. But I admit it, I do.

Another thing I realized while I was at the blood bank; Here are another group of AMAZING heroes. If you know anyone who works for the Red Cross or a blood bank, give them a hug. Bake them a pie. They are working overtime to make sure that everyone who wants to give and everyone who needs to receive are being accounted for.
