What a week!

Well it has been quite a week! Last Friday night Greg got the flu and by Monday he was feeling better. I was thanking my lucky stars that the boys and I had made through the weekend without getting sick, then on Tuesday I get a call from Nate's school and he is sick :( I am happy to report that he and daddy are totally fine now, and I feel safe now in saying that mommy and Zach made it through without catching it!!

I am also happy to report that my scrappy mojo seems to be returning - has been on hiatus for a long time. I think the prospect of having larger increments of time -due to the fact that it is spring break and the boys will be sleeping in, is really helping to motivate me. So I realize that I have not shared any MMM links for the last few posts I did. It has been a couple weeks so I am just going to post them here:

My fellow Daisy Diva Meghan Dymock posted a great layout challenge. She was inspired by the Facebook requests floating around to create a layout with a list of 25 random things about herself. I loved the idea and thought I would do a layout listing the first 25 things that popped into my head.



And this was last Monday's MMM post (I think I like the first one the best, the little birds look so happy to me:) :

How do I use________?
We have all had this happen, we get a new scrap goodie, we are all excited to play with it but when we sit down to use it -"nothing"! Recently had this happen to me after I bought some K&Co. die cut label/journal spots. I loved the look of them, the colors were great but for some reason I just was drawing a blank as to what to do with them. So I thought I would issue myself a small challenge (baby steps so to speak): to create 3 different cards using them. Well it turned out to be a very fun little challenge! I love how they turned out and now I have some ideas on how to use them on my next layout!

So the next time you don't know how to use a product, challenge yourself to create something small with it, a card, tag or artist trading card, just have fun and I am sure you will be happy with the result!
