Moving slow- layout completed!

Hi Everyone
Well the energy I had right after surgery has faded- maybe I over did it??? So now Im moving slow..
Here is a layout I finished a bit ago but never posted.  Scrapbooking is my first love and I have about 8 books that need to be finished!!!! So my new years goal was to work more on my scrapbooks- somehow I have only done 1 layout.  Hmmmmm  1 is better than none.  Im just a slow scrapper...

For this layout I used a combination of my expression and Imagine.Of course I used Peachy Keen face stamps on the kids.  Just love those.  I usually do 2 page layouts so my books tell a story. I can't say enough how much I am looking forward to the cricut craft room! I am a visual scrapper and have to "see" everything.

Im back in my scrap room

Okay after 1 week of recovery Im back in my scrap room!  Im feeling pretty good, which is making me nervous - like Im waiting for the other shoe to drop.  Which is crazy.  So Im very excited to be back scrapping.  I have a lot waiting to be worked on.  Hoping to get it done and posted very soon.  I am going to be a guest designer at the end of next week for Kassidy at Inkingitupcrazy.blogspot,com  She is celebrating Birthday week.  I am soooo very excited for that.

She will be hosting a full week of Birthday Fun.  Off to start my project.

Got Followers - Momo!

Hey everyone- Momo had this great idea that if you have under 200 followers (that's me) she put up a link so you can share your blog and get more followers and if you have more than 200 she is offering a prize for those who comment.  Thanks Momo! Please go to her site and check out all of us who need followers.

I will be away for a while going in tomorrow for a hysterectomy.  Hopefully when I get back on my computer I will  have lot's of new followers.  Definitely  something to look forward too,  Anyone who wants to leave suggestions on how to deal with surgical menopause I would love to hear from you.

Im getting my craft room well organized so I can do lots of crafting while recovering.

Thanks for being my new follower. See you all in a few days.

Creative Critterz Imaginations Challenge

Finally posting.  I got this one in under the wire.  I have had a very busy weekend.  Just moved one back to college and have another one home this week for spring break. Creative Critterz Imaginations is having their very first Imagine Challenge.  I love my Imagine and just had to enter.  Quick and Easy!!!

Better Together - girl and dog
I just popped the sun and the girl
stamped  sentiment "sending you hugs and kisses"

Update- yes I still am crafting!!

I promised myself that I would work more on layouts and YES I have been doing that.  Its just that I can't post them just yet because I am submitting them to some things first and have been asked to wait.
I do have a couple of cards in the works that should go up by the  end of the week.
