My guys were sleepy this morning and I went downstairs with the dog for some scrapbook time! This is what I could accomplish in that time, and I have to say, I’m impressed with myself! I loved the idea of the Wild story theme from Ali Edwards and knew I would probably use it in… Continue reading Wild – story kit
I am slowly getting my Week in the Life album put together. These are my daily front pages. I saw a similar layer filter in some advertising and thought it was brilliant. It works well on most of my photos, and I like consistency enough that I’ll take it like it is. I’m… Continue reading Week in the Life Progress
Hey everyone! Excuse me while I recover from WITL! What a great & amazing & exhausting project. I’m excited to see how the album starts to come together and I already have a few ideas down, but I need a bit of a breather! So here comes a layout I made on National Scrapbook Day,… Continue reading Layout – Road Trip
I had a morning. A morning where I seemed to encounter every incompetent service person that was working this fine Sunday morning. After driving across the city I found a lovely man enjoying his day and doing his job beyond reproach. Thank goodness! I at least got what I needed to work on the shed… Continue reading Sunday {words & photos}
Saturday, otherwise known as the Vanden Brinks go to a wedding. In the most adorable fashion possible… Taking Max’s preferred mode of transportation (the train). With this hottie as my date (who it turned out spent very little time with me due to his duties as MC). At the nicest (?) abandoned building… Continue reading Saturday {words & photos}

Oh my, he shouted “I’m hiding in the seatbelts!” Every good music teacher needs some spiderman matching and… Continue reading Thursday & Friday {words & photos}

I teach great deal on these two days (26 students today and 27 tomorrow) so the time I have is short. My studio is un-photogenic and… Continue reading Wednesday {words & photos}
Fewer photos today, but that’s ok. I love the ebb and flow of the days and I think it helps to tell the story. It was a BUSY day today, and a bunch of things went unphotographed. Late wake up again, so late that we were almost (ok we were a little late) to the… Continue reading Tuesday {words & photos}
Wow! What a day to start. I learned so much from last year and was able to get a lot of really great photos of today. Not pictured, my massive nap and slacking off on the couch to watch the final two episodes of The Good Wife. That’s ok, that’s why the words count too! … Continue reading Monday {words & photos}
I recently got out the large jar that I dumped a whole bunch or Christmas embellishments into at the beginning of January and promptly forgot about. I found these great little jars at the dollar store and didn’t bother separating out the type of embellishment, I just sorted by color and put them up on… Continue reading Craft Room Organization
