This month is flying by and I still have lots of stuff to do. I have been working on my January cards and I still haven't picked up my adhesive yet. I do need to get that going. I have most everything cut out...... I am hoping to get them done by the end of this weekend.
It is looking like I am addicted to cutting stuff out on my cricut. I spent all day today cutting stuff out. Now I can start putting stuff together.
I hope everybody likes the cards I am making.... This will be the first card swap I do.
I joined a cut swap and I have gotten some really nice cuts from the ladies that sent them to me...
I have been having problems with the internet and the cable guy came out today to fix the problem, he looked at the modem and said " it is old you need a new one."
Once I figure out how to upload pictures I will put some on this blog. I am still trying to learn how to do things.

First day
January 6, 2013
Wow today is Sunday and it is my first day of my new blog. I decided to start a blog because I thought it would be fun to have a place to put all my scrapping pictures, information and just plan ole fun. I love scrapping. I have been doing for 10 years,
I live in Southern Oregon with my husband Mark, daughter Amanda, and three wonderful furkids Gadget (male chihuahua) he is 3 1/2 pounds and thinks he is 300 pounds. Pearl (female chihuahua) she is 10 pounds but not fat, she is just a large size chihuahua. and last but not least our Skippy doodle bear. he is a yorkie. He came to us via my mom when she passed away. He is schizophrenic. But he is our baby and I wouldn't give him up for anything in the world.
Amanda is 20 now and in her 2nd year of college. This means I have 20 years of scrapping to do to catch up on the millions of pictures of her I have taken in the past 20 years.
I love taking pictures and it seems that I will never get caught up. but the day I am caught up will be the day I no longer will be able to scrap.
I started scrapping because I love creating thing with paper and I love making memories. The thing I like to do best is make scrapbooks for other people. I love making cards. I think I actually like making cards more than scrapping. because I can give them away easier than books. Takes less time to get that instant satisfaction.
I have made many books for people through out the years and the last complete book I made was about my moms life and all the things that was important to her. I made this book to have at her memorial service and I worked on it day in and day out for 5 weeks and it took all of me to do it. After I was done with it I found myself not being able to scrap. It had been over 2 years before I even looked at my scrap supplies. A friend of mine told me that her mom past away and I went home took out my supplies and made her a sympathy card. This sympathy card was one of the hardest things I have ever made. It was very emotional and I found myself needing to put my supplies away for another long while. Than something happened this past summer and my daughter wanted to get creative so we pulled out my supplies again and we started scrapping. We like to give each other challenges. So we made up a few challenges and got to work. the first 2 or 3 was really hard but after a while I found myself really getting into scrapping again. I knew this was a good thing for me. I love this craft so much I knew that I couldn't stay away from it for ever,
For my birthday this fall my wonderful husband gave me a Cricut. At first I wasn't to thrilled. Even though I had been wanting one for too many years. after a few weeks I started using it. We made Christmas cards this year and we made snowflakes for our Christmas tree. So I sit here the 6th day of January making projects to cut out with my cricut. I think I am now addicted.
I joined my first card swap. I can't wait until I finish my cards and send them out. I am hoping that these swaps and RAKS keep me enthusiastic about scrapping again.
