A few people have asked for some pictures of the house and my friend Lindsey just asked when I have time to scrapbook. So let me explain a few things. Yes, we are unpacked. There is just a box or two of things that really need to be put away but otherwise, we are moved in. No, there are not accessories out, pictures hung, or decorating of any sort. Why? Because when my child takes her 2 naps a day and goes to bed at 7, I choose to either do Sudoku puzzles or scrapbook. (To give myself a little credit, I have been good at cleaning recently during nap time and have made dinner 5 out of the last 7 nights. So I do some work when Laney is in bed.) Thus, I haven't taken pictures because the house seems to bare without any accessories and I keep putting off accessorizing to scrapbook.(That and the fact that I am scared that I will make my house look bad when I decorate.) It is a vicious cycle I am creating for myself. Maybe one of you should come decorate my house and I will scrapbook your life for you. And then the I would take pictures of the house.
On another note, I post my scrapbook pages on here for my
sister. We like to look at each other's pages to use as "inspiration" when creating. (In other words, I copy her layouts on occasion and she does the same with mine.) Here is today's layout. I have had this one in my mind for a few months. It is pictures from May and what her life was like in May.

We sound way too similar Mandy. I do pretty much the same thing at naptime (well, minus the Sudoku, but I still do enjoy a good Sudoku puzzle). And we've been in our house for almost 5 months and have yet to hang a picture. Like you, I'm just afraid of doing a bad job decorating so I just choose not to do it at all.
Love that page! Such a great idea.
Sudoku who? That would be really over my head I'm sure. I'll stick to crafts please. Love the scrapbooking stuff, maybe you could make me a header!
Wow, I am impressed. I haven't scrapbooked anything in at least 2 years. Maybe we should swap...you could help me with the photos, and I could help you with the accesorizing. But, I still think you can take pictures even with bare walls. As you may notice, all of my pictures were taken before I had finished the rooms. People can get the general idea.
