Gloomy, Beautiful Saturday!

Posted on November 1, 2008 by Amanda

It’s Saturday today, and strangely it actually FEELS like a Saturday. We woke up early (thanks to Ella) and I’ve been doing laundry ever since my feet hit the floor. I’m sure the flylady would love that.

The weather outside is gloomy. Not raining, just a little overcast and peaceful. I love that. It makes me feel like I can have an inside, accomplishing day and not feel guilty about it.

We’re all feeling better and the house has been sanitized, so hopefully this icky bug is out of our lives for good!

Our Halloween was awesome. I’ll be uploading pics & video a little later today. If I start working on pictures it’ll take over my day. I have goals for today and so far I think I’m going to accomplish them.

1) Filing – I want it ALL DONE TODAY!!! I’m doing quite well on this goal.

2) Laundry – This I also want all done today, but let’s get real here ~ probably not going to happen. However, I’ve already done 4 loads and am not planning on stopping until tonight. My laundry is out of control, and that in turn makes my life out of control. So, if I don’t accomplish it all, then at least I can make a nice dent!

and those are my goals for this gloomy, wonderful Saturday! I think it’s so wonderful because it’s the first day in a really long time (besides our sick days) that I don’t HAVE to leave the house. Jayden’s done with soccer (pictures and video to come on this as well) and Gino works, so it’s kinda like a my day in a weird way.

Also ~ it’s Digital Scrapbooking Day so, if you’re in to Digital Scrapbooking I’d be high tailing it over to Ikea Godess (CLICK HERE), because there’s a TON of freebies going on. That’ll be my fun evening downloading as much as I can.

I made my neighebor’s birth announcement and I LOVE IT! Their baby girl is so cute and so sweet.

Ella’s Birthday Invitation

Posted on August 8, 2008 by Amanda

They finally are finished, printed, and in the mail (today)!! What’s crazy is the mail between here and Sacramento takes 4 days, so I guess this invitation will be more like a little reminder a couple days before the party LOL.

My New Blog

Posted on May 4, 2008 by Amanda

I started a new blog. It’s called Scraptacular Creations. For now it’s just going to be my digital scrapbook gallery. The web address is http://scraptacularcreationsbyamanda.blogspot.com/
I’m still in the process of making the blog pretty and adding all my layouts. On my sidebar there’s a place that lists my other blogs (BOM & Ella’s Heart) and I’m adding the link there as well.

Layout for Ella

Posted on May 4, 2008 by Amanda

So the plan is to have this printed and framed and hung above Ella’s crib. The picture used in this layout is of me leaning over Ella right after they took her breathing tubes out. It’s still a work in progress – I think that I might put the wording on vellum and do something with that… any suggestions would be great if you have any! I get the feeling of it being too simple, but in a way I think that’s what I’m shooting for since it’s going above her crib.

Digital Scrapbooking

Posted on May 2, 2008 by Amanda

I was looking at my digital scrapbook gallery today and I got this overwhelming feeling run through my veins. I cannot believe that I have put off scrapbooking for so many months. I LOVE digiscrapping. Here’s a couple of my layouts that I’ve done in the past. I think I’m going to try to get at least one layout done a week. The above are a couple of my favorites.
