Time for a Challenge!

Hi everyone - Char here! Each Wednesday, I'm going to be your blog host here at 3 Nuts and a Mom. We'll be enjoying scraplifts and challenges, and PRIZES each week.

I have been thinking a lot about those "every day" moments lately. My goal this week was to spend more time journaling and doing scrapbook layouts about the "every day" moments in life. Of course, no sooner than I made that goal, we had a BIG out of the ordinary set of moments on Monday. My son ended up in the ER with severe breathing problems, and I'm still recuperating from it! (Notice I said *I* am recuperting... he is doing great too). Actually, he might be considered "reCROUPerating", since he was diagnosed with croup.

(Ok, I'll wait for the groans to stop).

Anyway, even with all the craziness in our home this week, I am still thinking about journaling and scrapping the moments I don't want to forget. Today I am going to work on a layout about our trip to the ER, with as much journaling and detail as I can get on a page, along with a couple of cute pictures.

My challenge to YOU is this - scrap a layout about a moment you've had this week that needs to be remembered. It can be a BIG moment, or an "every day" moment - just try to make it a journaling/story kind of moment.

Post a link to your layout here in the comments at Amy's blog (say, by Friday evening around 5 p.m. pacific time), and I'll pick a random winner to receive one of Amy's new products. (Winner will get to pick their prize from Amy's shops!)

Thanks for playing, and Happy Wednesday!

What Kind of Shoe are you??

Howdy!!! I was bored and lacking any energy to scrap, so I was surfing. I started out at Sweet Shoppe Design's blog and their little quiz they have about what kind of Easter egg you are. Well I stumbled upon a quiz about what kind of shoe you are. Not sure why it struck me as something that would be fun but I decided to take it. And here is what I got!

You Are Bare Feet

You are a true free spirit, and you can't be tied down. Even wearing shoes can be a little too constraining for you at times! You are very comfortable in your own skin. You are one of the most real people around. You don't have anything to hide. Open and accepting, you are willing to discuss or entertain almost any topic. You are a very tolerant person. You are accepting and not judgmental. You should live: Somewhere warm You should work: At your own business, where you can set the rules

What Kind of Shoe Are You?

The funny thing is - it is right! I am bare foot 90% of the time and I think the personality stuff is pretty right on. Curious, hun?? So, what kind of shoe are you?

Messy New Kit!

Wow! 2 blog posts in a row - what do you know! Hehe! Today is going to be a busy day around here - it is DH's birthday and I am not at all prepared. Plus Aidan has gymnastics this afternoon so everything has to be taken care of before nap time essentially this morning!

Before I run off, I thought I would jump on here and show ya'll my new kit titled "What A Mess." It is available today at Polka Dot Potato and Digital Freebies. It is on sale for just $3.91 till March 17th! It is such a fun kit -I am looking forward to scrapping with it myself this evening!

Did you know that I have a mailing list? It is small but growing! The list is set up to advertise new products, share news and freebies. You can sign up here. This weekend I will be sending out a cute Spring freebie for newsletter members only. I'll share a preview of the freebie tomorrow!

Off to birthday and grocery shop! Have a great day everyone - thanks so much for stopping by!

I have an excuse!!!

Oh woe is my blog! Poor neglected blog! Fortunately the Sweet Shoppe Blog and the fun personality quiz have given me the perfect excuse - I'm shy!! :) Well that is definitely debatable but whatever excuse I can take for being such a lousy blogger - I'll take! :) Here is the result of this cute quiz over at SSD's blog.
Of course my biggest excuse of all is the 3 little nuts for whom I spend my day waiting on and playing with! :) Speaking of which, here are 2 layouts to share that I did last night featuring two of them! The first is of Eli at the Botanical Gardens last weekend. I love the halo of hair! The kit is Heather Roselli's fun "Lucky Stars" and "Lucky Stars Add-On" available at Sweet Shoppe designs.


Next is a layout I did of Aidan playing with the fountain at the Botanical Gardens. He has always been fascinated with it! The kit is Melissa Bennett and Amanda Rockwell's "Got Boys?" available at ScrapArtist!



Thanks for stopping by! Hope you have a great day! And stay dry if you live in the South Texas area!
