What a week

For the first time in 18 months my wonderful husband is away for work more than one night. I am enjoying my late night time for scrapbooking but I sure miss him lots. I'm looking forward to come home day tomorrow!

For those of you that are looking for special blog give aways, you might want to check this one out over at Whimsical Creations. She is showing one of her favorite Etsy stores and I will have to agree that Kim's store is going to be one of my favorites too! I just love bracelets that make me happy and she does just that.

LOAD is going well for me. I am extremely happy, to the point of wanting to cry just a little. Why? Well, I haven't felt this much joy in my hobby in a long time. It just feels so good to make memories real on paper. If you have never done LOAD I believe you can still sign up or you can join us in May when we will be at it again. You will not regret it! So here are layouts from the last couple of days.

Day 2.......Prompt - Dig into your stash and use something you forgot about. I used some Heidi Swapp flowers, which I didn't really forget about because they are in a jar above my desk along with some buttons. Another page for my oldest daughter's wedding, a sweet photos of my Granddaughter.

Day 3......Prompt - Oldest thing you can find in your stash and use it. I relized there are some things I have grown out of as a scrapbooker and it would be these Birthday stickers I used. They do fit well with the page so that is a good thing. A double 8x8 page for my youngest's Birthday album.
