Photography Challenge - Day 6

Today's challenge is "Obsession".........well, this one wasn't too hard for me, lol! I LOVE Snowmen, so I just took a quick picture of some of my collection! As for the rest of my day today, I'm thinking we might go Squirrel Hunting! Yep, you heard that right, squirrel hunting.......lol!! You will understand this after I post some pictures at some point, but as for now...... I'll keep you wondering! haha!! It's a beautiful day filled with sunshine! God bless you all and keep you safe!

Photography Challenge: Days 4 and 5

I had to catch up a little because I was hardly home yesterday, and today was pretty busy as well! I finally got a couple of pictures for my two days though!! Day 4 was Something Green, and Day 5 was After Dark! Here are my two photos!! Day 4 Day 5 My photo from Day 4 is a view of our backyard and the mountain. The Day 5 photo is from the "After Dark In the Dark" egg hunt we had tonight! The girls just LOOOOVED that!! They had a lot of fun trying to find all the glow in the dark eggs! I got the idea from.........yep, you guessed it......Pinterest!! Love that sight!! I took glow stick bracelets and put them inside plastic easter eggs.....it was a hit! Even hubby said, wow, that was a great idea! Well, that's about it for tonight! Happy Easter weekend to you all and I pray that you all get to spend the weekend with your family, loved ones, or special friends! Take care and God bless! Lisa

Day 3 - Clouds

Well, today is day 3 of the photography challenge issued by my friend Laurie!! Today's subject for a photo was clouds..........well, believe it or not, there wasn't a cloud in the sky today......a lot of snow, but no clouds!! haha!! Soooooooo, Laurie told us to try to be creative.......normally I don't have tooooo much of a problem being creative, but for some reason, it just wasn't there today......that is, until tonight......I walked around our house looking at things and then I saw my kitchen border....Thomas Kinkade cottages and country roads and.....CLOUDS!! WooooooHooooooo!!! Now, tomorrow is something green........I'll have to find something unconventional for this one......don't want to do the normal grass, or money, or crayons.....Hmmmmmm!! I'm sure I'll figure out something! Well, other than the photography challenge, I moved my scrapbook area from our sunporch to our bedroom......soooooo glad that is finally done!! I've enjoyed it in the sunporch, but, I'd rather have that room has a relaxing space.....and when my scrap table is messy and such.....It just doesn't make for a "relaxing" space, lol!! Maybe I'll take some pics tomorrow during the daylight after EVERYTHING is all nicely organized and set up! Well, that's about it for tonight! Peace be with you all! Lisa

Inspired to Scrap!

What a friendly little Scrapbooking place on the world wide web.......... Inspired to Scrap! I just finished a week long cyber crop there.........it was sooo much fun and I even got 4 pages finished! If you know me, that's pretty good as of lately! lol!! I've been on a cleaning and organizing kick again around this house so I haven't had much time to sit and scrap or craft or anything.....but, I did this past week! A little sit down time did me some good!! This was the first challenge: we had to make a layout from a sketch! The second challenge was called Flash Back: we had to find a challenge from the previous year on the Inspired to Scrap site to use. I chose the Jan. '12 Wave challenge This page we had to take one of our own pages and "scraplift" it......the page I chose is right below this one! This is the page that I used to scraplift from! This page we had to make our own little flags to put on our page! I liked making these little flags! I'm hoping to continue scrapping and crafting every once in awhile........Inspired to Scrap is a wonderful place with friendly people and LOTS of inspiration to boot!
