Hello. Again.
So, I have not visited or updated my blog in four years! I feel a mixture of disappointment and guilt. A feeling that I should have given it more effort. To be honest, when I started it I felt a little uncertain it was something I wanted to do. Three busy children and a full time job certainly had a lot to do with my lack of time spent blogging. I definitely go through phases in life that lead me to just drop things. That is part of the reason for my absence here. However, I am certain a lack of confidence and an abundance of anxiety contributed to it even more.
Eventually, more and more time passed without a thought of it. But something brought it to my thoughts today. After a few fumbled attempts at retrieving my password, I am back in and not sure where I will go from here. This unplanned update occurred after the voice in my head would not allow me to walk away without saying hello.
I have plenty of the same things going on in my life as I did four years ago - new memories made with the kiddos, plenty of scrapbook pages completed, and still many unread books and adventures waiting to be started.
More later. Hopefully much sooner this time.

Today during a full day of scrapbooking, I completed this baseball page for Jacob's book. About five years ago, we took a trip to St. Louis with our friends from Australia for a Cardinals game. Jacob really enjoyed the game, but I think he enjoyed the hot dog more! I love this paper and embellishments from Creative Memories' Baseball Additions set. I also used the banner punch from Epiphany Crafts and a Tim Holtz ticket for a journaling spot.
The summer went very quickly and I neglected blogging about all of our fun and my scrapbooking! I have been working more on it lately and finally scrapped a page in honor of Peyton's first lost tooth . . . five years ago! I remember he was so excited because he was the last kid in his class to lose a tooth! I used some paper from Karen Foster's Tooth Fairies paper, some twine from Queen & Co., tags and labels from Chic Tags and Jillibean Soup.

So, here it is . . .
. . . a crafty blog. Lori made me do this. That is my story and I am sticking to it. You can visit her at Lori's Happy Place and see some of her crafty talents. As for me, soon I will post some of my scrapbook pages that I put together to capture the fun memories that I make each day with the kiddos!
