What’s a Girl to do?

I love how this page turned out except with one little exception.  I HATE my handwriting.  So much so that I nearly ripped the journaling tab right off the page.  My handwriting is not messy by any means.  It just looks immature to me. Spencer told me that our kiddos will love to see my handwriting someday, even if I don’t think it’s particularly pretty myself.  I know he’s right.  Still, about 99.9% of the time I type the journaling on my pages.  It just looks so much better.  Any tips/ideas for improving your penmanship would be appreciated.  Can it be changed?  Should it be changed?  Anyone else out there dislike your handwriting?       

Love Story

Lately, I have been really into reading love stories.  I’ve been doing lots of babysitting and needed something to do during naptime.  I recently re-read Icing on the Cake my favorite chick lit book of all time.  I’ve read it a hundred times.  You haven’t read it?  Go.  Read it NOW.  It is funny and cute.  Plus, Elodia Strain (the author) is super nice.  The sequel Previously Engaged is awesome too.
Then, my friend posted the new Jane Eyre movie trailer on her blog, and after watching it I had to go back and read the book again.  I think the last time I read it was freshman year of high school.  The problem is, I’m almost finished and am on the hunt for another romance novel.  Anything delightfully sappy will do.  Suggestions?

Just Checking In

Another day, another page.  Be back soon. 

Dum Dee Dum

I haven’t been the best blogger lately.  I just haven’t had much to say.  Sometimes, I go through phases where I write down everything I am thinking and going through and have lots to share.  Other times, I am feeling more private.  Though I’m not in a chatty mood, I did want to share a few layouts I have created recently.  Here’s one of my favorites to start us off. 

Card #5

Another house card. Sorry to show you similar things, but it's what I did for the day. I actually like it a little better than the last one though.

Card #4

This one is my favorite card! I love it so so much! I bet this silhouette looks familiar huh? And I just love pennants! I think I'm going to make many more.

Card #3

I really don't like to do things out of season. I never listen to Christmas music or put up Christmas decorations until after Thanksgiving. But I had to make a Christmas card for the contest so... here it is.

Card #2

Not much to say, other than here is card # 2.

Happy Birthday Card

I am going to enter a card contest so I will be posting a bunch of my card creations the next few days. Here's card #1.

Hi Card

Just popping in to say, "Hi!"

Merci Card

I made this card today. If there's one thing I love more than hedgehogs (if that's even possible) it's the Eiffel Tower.
