My first attempt at scrapbooking...

I started a book for Gabby...Gabby from just before birth to 1-year old. I haven't gotten very far. P-Dub thinks I like buying and organizing scrapbooking materials more than I like actually doing it...maybe so, but, I have accomplished a few pages.

I scanned these in while they were still in the album...not very smart, I know, but I didn't think about it till after I was done. AND...you only get to see a little bit because the pages are 12X12 and I can't scan the entire thing.

The theme is a little haphazard right now...I'm still trying to find my 'groove' or whatever it's called in scrapbooking. I have learned, rather quickly, that I'm better at 'BLING' than I am at 'cutesy'.

The Cover

Page...zero? This page is all alone. I tried with the following pages to have things flow between the page on the left and the page on the right...

Page 1

Page 2

Page 3

Page 4

Page 5

Page 6

Page 7

Page 8

Page 9

Page 10

WOW! Ten pages...ok, eleven, since Christmas...guess I do like the shopping and organizing part the best!!! I've been doing lots of stuff though...like redecorating my apartment. I'll post pics of those next.

Happy Freakin' New Year

Written January 1, 2021, when I tried to start a Wordpress blog , but failed because I'm old and it's too complicated. 2020 and I had a love/hate relationship. I hated seeing what was happening to others and the world. I dealt with my fair share of struggles, but mostly, I think I was the closest to contentment that I've ever been. 1. I LOVED working from home MOMO working from home 2. I felt closer to my family 3. I didn't mind the slower pace and less to do 4. I was able to have a better work/life balance 5. I felt more productive at home and at work 6. I did a couple of home projects - helped my parents landscape my front yard, gave my bedroom a makeover with my sister, and reorganized my pantry with her Before After Pantry Makeover Bedroom Makeover 7. I spent the best summer with my son and dogs at my sister'shouse - laughing, crying, painting rocks, getting to know my fur nieces and nephews (Wall-E, Maggie, Leeloo, and funny, little, Peyton who we lost in...

DIY Faux Brick Wall with German Schmear

Written February 14, 2021, when I tried to start a  WordPress blog , but failed because I'm old and it's too complicated. My estranged (?), separated (?), I don't know what, husband, and I actually worked on this together.  I watched 1,000 YouTube videos and read another 1,000 posts on how to do this.  In the end, I took a little from here and a little from there. The faux brick paneling was bought from Home Depot.   We cut the seams with a Ryobi jigsaw , used liquid nails and a Ryobi nail gun to attach the panels, and used joint compound mixed with a bit of water for the schmear.  It's a perfectly, imperfect technique.  I practiced a little, but decided to just jump in and let the wall take on a life of it's own.  I will warn that the joint compound dries much whiter than you think it will.  Use sparingly if you want to see more brick. Once the wall was finished, I painted the other walls Sherwin Williams Perfect Greige .  Shelves and floor...
