I do have some laundry to do and a few plants to plant in the deck planters, but first I think I am going to go and do some more scrapping. I have no other plans and I have already told everyone today is my day to do what I want when I want. So off I go to scrap

Sounds like a great plan to me!

hello again! I managed to get the pet challenge completed, had it posted then realized I left off an important piece! So I had to put that on there quick, then fix it.... but I finally got it all together and I'm excited how it turned out.

Then I got the living room picked up and the little hallway we have, and vacuumed all of that. And even vacuumed some in here in the office. Off to put a load of clothes in the dryer, fold a couple that have been sitting in wait, and then maybe another page in a bit? Not sure what to work on tho, I've done most of the challenges and not sure which ones I want to attempt next - I'm avoiding the technique challenge because I'm not sure what to try - paint or ink? I only have a couple inks but I could come up with something, if I don't try I won't know!

Have I mentioned that my caffeine has kicked in?

AND I don't have a little one under foot - it's amazing how productive us mom's can be with a little free time! haha

Absolutely NO humidity! It's awesome! After that I mixed up a big batch of Mosquito Barrier for dh to spray the yard before the mosquitoes get really bad. I love it because it is just pure concentrated garlic so it is non toxic to the doggies, us and birds, butterflies, etc. Plus it makes our whole yard smell like an Italian restaurant for about an hour or so lol. When dh is done I am going out to plant some flowers in pots and clean my bbq. Right now the doggies are sleeping... resting from this mornings antics and refueling for the afternoon shift. Later this afternoon I hope to get back to scrapping the page I am working on for the ad challenge.

Hope everyone has a great day! Happy Memorial Day!

That's what DH and I use to spray our yard too!

Oh Bibi! Hope your mojo kicks in SOON!

How about surfing the gallery for some inspiration?

Ah! That's amazing! I've never heard of it, but it sounds perfect. I'll have to look in to that.

Wonderful layout Brandy!

It was a nice quiet morning for us & it'll be a low key day. So busy lately with the end of the school year that we need it. Right now the kids are outside exploring the stream & pond, etc. We have some turtles & tadpoles

DH is working on the yard & I'm planning a few projects - cards mostly. Later we're grilling burgers and corn. I love days like this where it's just mellow and everyone can relax. Sooooo looking forward to summer!

Happy Memorial Day everyone!

I'm all done with my yard work for the day and took a shower and now I am eating dark chocolate and ready to scrap!! I'm working on a digi page so no need to worry about the chocolate!

My day is pretty quiet so far. I finished cleaning and laundry, I also finished up the last couple layouts for my NYC album that I have been working on. I completed 3 of the challenges this month which is good for me! We have some friends coming over for a BBQ later. Right now it is raining outside, should be fun BBQing in that!

I went ahead and worked on my example for my June Fashion Challenge. So glad I did as I don't think I'd have time to work on it during the week. Ya'll will have to wait 'til Saturday!

And for my third and last one for the day, this one is for Laurie's Rewind Challenge. I did the April Ad Challenge.

Hi everyone!

I've been lurking on the boards most of the day, but only long enough to upload FOUR (yay!) layouts that I've created through out the day. Three were for my Project Life album, the other was to memorialize my daddy and his military service.
