Okay… Cheesy title I know! But I’m so excited! This weekend I’ve been SCRAPPING!

It has been far far too long – but between morning sickies, and then bedrest, and a frustrating painful pregnancy, and then a teeny tiny baby an getting all adjusted to having a newborn, I just haven’t found a ton of time. Then a few weekends ago I decided I was going to scrap, and what do you know, my poor little lappy was so bogged down and really not a happy camper. I have known for a while that I was outgrowing it, and that weekend was just the final straw – plus g has wanted a laptop too for quite some time too so that he can work in other places than our bedroom. Anyways, we just decided to go for it that weekend and order me a new computer.

So this weekend I’m working on my new computer, and not just any computer but a PINK LAPTOP!!!

My pink laptop is not only cute, and wonderful – but I’m pretty sure it was sent to me preloaded with a ton of mojo! Because seriously when I sat down this weekend to start scrapping pages started coming to me again! So either it is a magical pink laptop here, or I’m FINALLY starting to feel like myself! Either way, I’m hoping that the designer mojo is on here too, because I’m really ready to start being productive again.

So, anyways, on to the pages! (As always, you can click on the page itself to see it closer up). I was able to finish SIX pages this weekend and I’m so proud! It feels good to be capturing our memories in scrap form again.

Journaling: my sweet baby boy i dreamed & dreamed of you. now that i have you in my arms all is right in the world, and as a mother i feel complete.

This page is a Lift of our SSD Treat of the Month Yvette Keohuloa. I lifted her page Kona Moon because I just loved all the swirls everywhere! You can see the credits for this page HERE.

Journaling: Honestly… I got this type of binky because I thought they were so darn cute, and once I saw it in your cute little mouth it certainly didn’t disappoint! you are beyond cute my little love!

Journaling: “the funniest thing has happened, i’ve been in the habit of calling reece “reecey” basically since he was a baby, and recently he has decided that is what everyone should call him. He even introduces himself to strangers as “reecey.” on this morning he decided we should take pictures of our selves together to pass the time while waiting at a restaurant. that’s my reecey -making sure every spare moment is filled with fun.”

Journaling: In our playroom we have a box we call our adventure kit, it is where we put our dress up clothes, hats, play watches and cameras, compasses, and backpacks. Basically anything you might want to go on an imaginary adventure! Lately Owen and Reece have been playing with it in an original way. Daily they will both go in there and put on crazy combinations of the costumes we have, a lightsaber with a cowboy hat, or goggles with a knight’s armor – or maybe it is a darthvader mask with the spiderman glove, around here you never know what character is going to come around the corner! Sometimes you pretend you are a specific character “Mom, call me Cowboy Reece” and sometimes you have “battles” with light sabers, swords, or nerf guns, and sometimes you just hang out in your crazy get up! I love seeing you boys use your imaginations and one thing is for sure, around the Clingerman house things are always an adventure!

Journaling: On our walk home from getting haircuts you 3 decided to all grab hands and shout “we are 3 buddies!” You really are quite the pals, and there is nothing i love more than to see the three of you hand in hand.

Journaling: you mr. tennyson are already six weeks old. where has the time gone! in true big boy style, you are no longer content to lay still, and when we lay you on your belly you wiggle and kick and bat those little arms untill you roll your little self over to your back, where you are sure you belong!

This page is for another challenge at SSD, using a template based off of a page by Missy Strand. Full credits can be found HERE.

I’ve had so much fun! Too bad it is officially Monday now, and my weekend is over! Still I’m feeling hopeful that I’ll be able to scrap more now that I’ve found my groove again. Ok, it is late over here, and I need to get some sleep in before my next week begins. Hope everyone has a great Monday!
