Scrapping here & there...

Well, I have not been keeping up with scrapbooking at least 1 layout a week, but maybe 1 a month! Which I guess is still better than Zero.



I made this one recently about my son's favorite toys when he was 19 months old. He's now almost 5 years!



Man, am I glad I took the time to lay out his toys and take these pictures back then!! I need to do it again now that he's older & into different things.

It's like a time capsule of his childhood & helps me remember the little things...



I used bright colors to reflect the "fun" of the toys, but put the photos & title in straight lines to give the layout some order since the subject matter was so "busy." I used my old-school Dymo labeler to label the top corner of each picture. One layout down, a million more to go!

Latest Thrifty Finds

My latest finds from a visit to Helping Hands last week...

2 11x14 wood frames (to spray for a project), a Mary Engelbreit ceramic hinged Limoges box, 2 golden books, a super cute cloth activity book that zips up and has a handle. Is my daughter's name Olivia? No. Do I care? No! :)

Here's a look inside the cloth activity book~

It's so cute! Can you believe this was 50 cents? Well, it was.

And here's the Mary Englebriet hinged box in the month of September--my daughter's birth month! Did I mention it was $1?

3 tops, 2 skirts & 2 dresses, all for my baby girl. One is Gymboree-score!

And I wore these heels last weekend at my niece's Graduation! I was on the look out for a pair this color to match a new dress--they're like new & were $8. A little more than I would normally spend on 1 item at the thrift store, but I really needed them for the occasion & it sure beats spending $20 or more.

I think I did pretty good--all this for $33. Can't wait until my next trip!
