i've been down for the count with a tweaked back for a few days now. this happens to me at least once a year, and it never gets any funner. lol! i thought it was funny, when i was digging around for the links for this post, and came across THIS. that's the last time i had tweaked my back. anyways, that means i never got around to finishing anything fun to blog about. but i have stuff planned. i promise. just to give you an idea of some of things i've been working on to share, here's a few hints.
i did some of THIS months ago, and promised to share the after photos. figured it was about time.
am planning an updated look at THIS project.
finally scrapped about THIS trip.
and also scrapped THIS exciting trip.
and also scrapped all about THIS once-in-a-lifetime adventure.
i'm not doing any sharing about THIS, but seeing those pictures sure does make me miss those two crazy kids 🙂
working on finishing THIS project. what you see in that post, is all that i ever did with it. figured it's time to finish it, so that i can pull it out this thanksgiving. which will be here before we know it.
it's been exactly a year since i made THIS big move. and i'm planning on sharing all about my space in detail and my storage set-up.
until then, how about a giveaway to tide you all over? i happen to end up with an extra vintage findings design card, for the slice. instead of sending it back to them, they said i could do a giveaway with it. so one of my lucky blog readers will get to enjoy this. just leave me a comment, and let me know if there's anything else you would love to see me share here on my blog. there might be things that you all want to see, that i'm not thinking about. so i'm open to suggestions, and will take any ideas into consideration. i'll be randomly drawing a winner on monday morning 🙂
and since i'm link-happy today, i wanted to share a few more fun giveaways out there from the generous manufacturers that i am lucky enough to design for. check out the pebbles blog today. not only will you see some cute layouts, but at the bottom of today's post, it tells you an easy way to get in on a fun giveaway. and then head over to the making memories blog, where you can get in on a giveaway for some of the new paper reverie products.

Hi Laura,
Sorry to hear about your back I can imagine what a kink in your schedule that must be with school/soccer/daycare/scrapping/ everything else you do. You probably do need a few days of rest anyhow. I loved all the peeks/links you showed us. I for sure want you to share all those with us. I love the idea of your thankful album, you have been so lucky in your travels,job, people you met, so awesome how important and famous you’ve become. That is funny about the donald duck toy at first when I saw it i thought you tripped on it and your back went out. i can’t believe that happened to your back then.
don’t include my name in the giveaway since I don’t have a slice. that is a nice giveaway.
I know I’d like to see more pages, love that your doing your f/b messages, would love to see your schedule plan, do you make a schedule weekly/daily to get all that you do done. What do you like to do for ‘me’ time, dates with hubby, organinizing ideas/anything from you will be great thanks. Oh yeah, do you make the kids costumes? decorate for fall? any crafty ideas for fall or xmas???

So sorry to hear about your back. That’s not fun…I know from experience. (a few years ago) I love seeing all of your layouts. I mainly scrap 12X12 so your layouts are so inspiring. I have scrap-lifted quite a few of them for my own pages. Of course I tweak them to fit my photos and products on hand. I love seeing the challenges that you do with some of your scrappy friends. When you exchange photos or just do a ‘color’ challenge. I love seeing the 2 different perceptions side by side…I enjoy your blog a lot so just keep doing what you are doing…
Get better soon…Thanks for the give-a-way opportunity
