Cantata books ROCK!

So what if it took forever for my 2 books to make it to my doorstep? It's just fun to finally see my LOs in print! It's been so long tho, that this is not even my scrapping style anymore, LOL! I still get a kick out of seeing it, and I think it's nice that I snagged a page all to myself!

Maman, down, go!

Those are the new words Sean can say! Yesterday, we were in our bathin suits and he wanted me to go in the water. He kept saying "down, down, down!" So I was counting one, two, three, but I was a wuss and wouldn't jump in the cold water. At some point, after my about tenth 1-2-3, he screamed GO! and pushed me, LOL! Of course, he didn't push hard enough for me to fall, but I went in anyway b/c I thought it was too funny! He then followed me, but took his time going down one step at a time! I am so happy we got stairs instead of a ladder, it makes it so much better for everyone to get in!

random thoughts about scrapbooking

-chatterbox rocks! i love their paper, it's what i enjoy using the most

-can someone tell me what paperkins is???

-when i look at other people's galleries, i find that they are consistently great; mine, on the other hand, has good los and some that really suck... why can't i be consistent?

-i tried freestyle, doesn't really work for me.

-i sometimes use qk or sizzix machines at crops, but i don't see the point of actually owning one

-i want to scrap more about myself, but i litterally feel sick everytime i see a pic of me

-why can't chipboard letters stick well to the page? they always pop off...

-although i think it's cool to be part of a challenge where you make a lo a day, i can't figure out where i would put them all afterwards
