Cropping

I know that I have been behind the past few weeks again. There is so much going on here and yet, at the same time, not much to tell - does that make sense? Life is trucking along; school is in full force; dad is recovering slowly but surely; family is wonderful; friends are awesome; house is messy, then clean, then quickly messy again, often in the space of a few hours; life is full and busy and wonderful. That about sums us up in not a few words! So, in wanting to touch base across the internet with all of you, I have decided to share one of my little treats with you.

The past few months, I have been blessed to hang out with a great group of ladies on Friday nights as we meet at one another's houses to work on our scrapbooks together. Let me tell you, we truly know how to have a good time! We eat yummy food - brownies, ice cream, cookies (homemade pumpkin chocolate chip in time for fall!), homemade salsa - and so much more oh so good treats! Then, for the next bunch of hours, we spread out all of our pictures, papers and supplies and get busy scrapping! I have accomplished more in the past few weeks of these get togethers than I have in the past couple of years in my scrapbooks!

My personal goal right now is to get caught up on the years since my children have been born. I am through with 1994 - the year Holly was born. I am more than half way through 1995 now. We are moving right along and one day soon I may be caught up! However long it takes, I am enjoying the process - food, friends and fellowship mingled with crafting and laughter. I look forward to my Friday nights with the girls!

The process is more fun when shared with friends:
