Ha! Clearly I don't scrap in order. Although it's officially spring....New York hasn't quite caught onto to that yet. We are still experiencing winter like weather, although the sun is actually out today it's another COLD day!! Oh well this little guys face warms my heart. How delicious is he??</div>

My other adventure has been Slow Cooker Freezer Meals. Once I get them all together, I'll share some recipes. It was a messy project but ohhhh so worth it! I have Chicken Fajitas cooking now and all I had to do was take it from the freezer and pop it in the Slow Cooker!<br />

Swimming, spending time with friends and family, swimming, camping, swimming, camping, spending time with friends and family. That's pretty much what we have been doing since March. LOL </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Actually there have been lot's of changes going on around here! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Me? For starters I just haven't been feeling great for a quite awhile. I finally caved and made several Dr's appointments and have been getting some tests done. I don't think it's anything serious but you know that feeling when something isn't quite right? Well that's how I feel.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Other changes? In May I quit a long term job (7 years)...It just wasn't right for me anymore. It was great while it lasted however as far as pay and advancement? It was a dead end job. Sooooo I will be going back to school in the fall! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hubby? Well we had a scare with his job. His employer and the union couldn't connect. He was out of work for a month and for lack of a nicer word...It really sucked! It did however make me more thankful for what we DO have. We went camping this year because it was all we could afford. We found out we really enjoy it and (for us) vacation doesn't have to be fancy restaurants and high end hotels.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My Mom...showing up with stuff like groceries and laundry detergent while Jim was out of work....standing by us both financially and mentally. I can't even put into word how much I love and appreciate her.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Kelsey? Well she is growing faster than I can stand. We've entered the middle school years and well I can't stand that either! LOL She's still swimming and my baby even made the Varsity Swim Team! She's also made some great new friends. On an extremely sad note. Kelsey's Head Coach, Ron Olsen passed away. We still can't believe he is gone. It's a tremendous loss to the team and the entire swim community.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Scrapbooking? I've actually been to a couple of crops in the past few months and done some scrapping at home. I'm not sure why but I have no craft pictures today!! For now here are some pics of the last few months.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

That's right moving. We've been here for 10 years now and although it's been a great house for us it's time. It's gonna take awhile and alot of work but I'm gonna make it happen. Can you say lots of closet cleaning and painting? Some yard work too. It's a good goal for us...Our new family motto is. Get moving to GET MOVING. This weekend was the kick off of weekend projects big and small. We ended up taking 6 or 7 bags o the Salvation Army and some to the Humane Society too. That's another blog post in itself.<br />

I think I'll be using this notebook for my TO DO LISTS...maybe it will make cleaning the root cellar a little more glamorous. I used mostly Sassafras Lass on these two.<br />

OK I am a day late but I DID make cards yesterday.<a href="http://livepink.ning.com/"> Live Pink</a> was hosted some awesome challenges yesterday. I'm happy to say I completed three of them. There were seven challenges in total but HEY don't judge. lol I am a slow scrapper PLUS I had some DT stuff to do for Let's Scrap. I can't post that yet though.<br />
I was super happy to spend the day with my MOM, yup that's right my mom and I scrap together as well as friends, old and new. It was a great way to spend the day. The ladies that ran the crop are fabulous and I will be going again for sure! Polish Lasagna~who knew!! HA Gotta love Koren's cooking and sense of humor.<br />
I also (finally) busted open my Pink Paislee Warehouse Box. Swoon. What an awesome, awesome amount of stuff in that box and NOT JUNK!! I've purchased warehouse boxes before and been disappointed or simply underwhelmed. NOT with this box~GORGEOUS stuff I tell you! I think I spent more time playing with my box than I did crafting!<br />

Really? August and September have been a bit of a blur for me. ENOUGH rain already!! We had a rep from FEMA at our house yesterday and I am hoping we are eligible for something. Actually at this point I wish it would just STOP RAINING long enough for my basement to fully dry. I have never ever seen anything like this in my area.<br />
I realized today while posting my Let's Scrap page for the week (using a 5th grade photo) that I never posted Kelsey's first day of MIDDLE SCHOOL!! How is it that endless rain and a wet basement have put me so far behind.... OH and I'm not even going to be posting it today. Why? Endless rain and a wet basement are not enough. Laptop died and for the moment most of my photo's are "trapped" in it. Hubby is working on it for me so I should get them soon. In the meantime I did get a new laptop for my birthday!<br />
OK enough of my whining already. Check out this weeks sketch at <a href="http://letsscrap.ning.com/">Let's Scrap</a>! I love big photo's so I just adored this sketch. Add some <a href="http://amytangerine.blogspot.com/">Amy Tangerine</a> from my<a href="http://letsscrap.ning.com/"> Scrapbook Circle Kit</a> and I am good to go. I also had an exciting email in my inbox over at<a href="http://www.scrapbook.com/myplace/index.php?mod=galleries"> Scrapbook.com</a><br />
<br />
Check it out!<br />

Hurricane Irene came. We lost power for 3 days. We took in a small amount of water in our basement and then the rains came. Again. With the ground already thoroughly saturated there was no place for it to go. So into the basement it came. I'm not going to complain (too much) many others lost so much more than we did. I will say....my scraproom is partially in the trash. I've lived in my home for 10 years and never have we had any water in the house like this. It's unreal. Ton's of paper and stickers had to be thrown out, that's what I get for having it stacked on the floor! Two big cabinets had to be thrown away and the rest is in a big heap in my family room. I'm going to wait another week or two before I put any of it back. Another good rain and I think it will be wet again. It hasn't rained here in a few days now and the ground is still mush! On the upside I will get to do a little shopping. One of those cabinets held my Cricut and I need to replace it.<br />
I had a crop scheduled for Saturday and I almost didn't go, I mean come on! All my stuff is in a heap! I decided to go, packed haphazardly the morning of and ended up finding my MoJo!! I had a great time with some scrappy friends, old and new!<br />
This is a layout I started before the storm. It was my intention to make a bunch of awesome layouts and apply for the <a href="http://blog.basicgrey.com/">Basic Grey</a> Design Team, Hurricane Irene had other plans! Oh well, what were the chances of actually making that team anyway! HA I love Basic Grey and would have been using this paper anyway so it's all good!<br />

I ended up using many of my storm supplies. We lost power and had some water in the basement. I am still trying to clean up my scrap area and family room. Yes (shudder) I had some water in my scrap area. In comparison to others in our area? I am not going to complain!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;">The winner of the RAK is WILNA. She came the closest to guessing the number of tea light's in the basket. There were 137! and no I didn't count them. I had purchased a pack of 144 and knew how many I had taken out. Email your addy Willna americangirl0419@hotmail.com</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"><br />
</span><br />
Well friends it's about 4:30 p.m. here in NY and apparently Irene is on her way. I've spent the last couple of days preparing for the storm and I am as ready as I'm going to be.<br />
Water? Check<br />
Snacks? Check<br />
Flash Lights? Check<br />
Batteries? Check<br />
Duct Tape?Check Don't know if I'll need it but it fixes everything right?!<br />
Camp Stove and Propane?Check<br />
Candles?<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;">Check, Check, Check</span><br />
Hubby thinks I might have been a little excessive in my candle planning but hey if we lose power for a few days.....I want to be able to scrap or at least do something besides sit in the dark! This is where my RAK idea came from. I've taken a picture of my "lighting station". Note the basket of tea lights? GUESS HOW MANY TEA LIGHTS ARE IN THE BASKET AND I WILL SEND YOU A RAK FROM MY SCRAP STASH. Just leave me a comment with your guess. I'll choose the winner closest to the number. Let's sayyyy on Wednesday.<br />

Next stop? Eastern Zone Championships at Penn State. I am beyond proud of this girl!<br />

Once again Debby has come up with a fabulous sketch. I used some Crate Paper, Lily Bee and Echo Park from a <a href="http://noelmignon.com/">Noel Mignon Kit.</a> Oh and did you notice? I finally got a spikey flower thingy!! I found 3 of them on Etsy and they arrived just in time to use for my card.<br />

There was a tag sale practically in the parking lot and look what we found. Cool old tin right? That's what I thought. I'm not sure why but it reminded me of my Aunt Jean. I can only assume she had something similar, maybe my cousin kept some dolls in one? I'm just not sure.<br />
Anyway that is what drew me in. LOL I picked it up thinking I would just check it out and try to place the memory. Well the memory never fully emerged but I did come to another realization. This tin<b> wasn't</b> empty! Hmmmm what's in there? Should we open it? Please don't be old fruitcake.<br />

Not fruitcake. It's full of vintage buttons. WooHoo. All for a dollar, yes that's right a single green back and the tin, the faded memory of playing at my Aunt's and all the buttons were mine!! There are some other little things in there that I should of zoomed in on. A tiny whistle, a phone.....were these to sew on someones bobby socks?<br />

I used a photo that I've actually scrapped with before. When I saw this Crate Paper, I knew I had to scrap it again! This is much cuter than the original.<br />

I just HAD to work those cute little embellishments into my page.

I'm so happy to be on the DT. I really like having a deadline, it's "forcing" me to scrap AND I'm using up my stash! snort. OK does anyone REALLY need to know about those <a href="http://noelmignon.com/">Noel Mignon Kit's</a>? Don't judge. She's having a sale now.<br />
<br />
Now that my little kit confession/obsession is taken care of let's move onto the Let's Scrap Sketch. I got a little sidetracked with that also. The sketch has stars and fireworks and somehow I saw Christmas. Gosh I hope they don't fire me!<br />

I guess I have to stop calling it her NEW team now. LOL She has grown so much in the last year and I'm so proud of her.This past year she has qualified for Junior Olympics and the Eastern Zones Qualifier. In her local league championship she came in first place overall in the 50 Breast and 100 IM. She made improvements all around.</div><br />
<br />
I thought I would do a page to honor her achievement's and with 4th of July right around the corner, why not some patriotic paper!<br />

They are super fun and super easy. All you need are bagels, Crisco, bird seed and twine. Cut your bagels in half. Tie a piece of twine around your bagel for hanging. Spread a generous amount of Crisco on your bagel and then dip it into the seed. Hang them around the yard and the birds will take care of the rest!<br />

I think it's one of those sketches that I will use over and over. <br />
I dug out some old Making Memories. I think I bought every drop of this line and uhhhh never used it. I took it out. I looked at it but never used it. Not sure why I feel the need to hoard scrap products but I do. The flowers are from Prima and yeah, I've had them awhile too. It felt good to use up some stash.<br />
