Lots to Scrap about!

I can't tell you how many times I've said to myself, "I NEED to scrapook. I NEED to log into my blog. I NEED to see how all my scrappy friends are doing!!" .... and yet finding the time the last couple of months has been almost impossible!

The holidays are over. As much as I love them, I'm glad. It's so time-consuming! There was lots of shopping, baking and traveling. What isn't over is our search for a new home. We've been in West Virginia now for just over 4 months. We've put one offer on a house... which ended up having a pending sale (it was contengient, upon a contengient, upon a contengient... get the drift?). Why a bank would do that is beyond me... needless to say that house is still "for sale". ha.

So, what's taking us so long? My husband and I have different views. He wants land. And lots of it. I just want a HOME! He wants cattle, horses, chickens... that kind of "land". I just want a HOME! lol So, you see... we're not exactly seeing eye-to-eye. With being in WV (if you've never been here) there's not much flat land. It's very 'moutainous' ... with lots of rolling hills and hollars (lol, that word cracks me up!).

Back to scrappy subjects... I am trying to finish some projects for The Scrappy G. Not much left to do, I decided to change photos so I had to take those and reorder pics. I did make some crafty things for Christmas. New ornaments, some cards... nothing fancy.

My photography is going okay... for starting over. I've had a few shoots including a wedding. I also had photos requested for the local newspaper a few weeks ago for an event my son's class attended at the Governor's Mansion... can't wait to see those!

So, it's been a busy winter.

Tomorrow is back to scrapping for me! I'm heading out in the a.m. to purchase the Storybook cartridge (yay!!), hit Michaels to majorly splurge and then to the scrapbook store to spend the ENTIRE day!!!!!!!!!

Hope to share some pics with you soon! Hope you've all had a wonderful Holiday season!!
