Scrap Happy! (double click to enlarge then click the back arrow)

I've been taking advantage of some non-editing time to do a little scrapbooking over the past few weeks. Scrapbooking is truly therapy for a tired soul! Sorry for the not so great pics...

We have not floated away yet! So far, predictions for our area have been really good. We are feeling very thankful that we bought the house that we did. There were a couple of houses that we looked seriously at, and they are probably flooded right now! Things have been very stressful here...when you go out, you can see the tension on people's faces. There are so many uncertainties and "what-if's" hanging over everyone's head like a black cloud. On top of it all, winter continues to drone on and on and on. Not only is it tough on my kids (they long to run around outside in the sun!), but it's been extremely difficult for my dad and brother during their calving season. You just want to scream, "ENOUGH ALREADY!" But, we know we still serve a God who is completely in control. He does not take his eyes off of us even for a second, nor does he sleep.
With all this indoor time, with nothing to do but watch local flood coverage non-stop, I have been doing lots of scrapbooking! Here are a few of my favorite layouts. Click on them to enlarge.

I went to a crop with my friend Marie this weekend. Here is one of the pages I did- I love how it portrays Isaac's personality! I'm also throwing in a token picture of my sweet baby since he does not get nearly the blog time his big brother does!

Scrapbooking!

I went to an all day crop on Saturday with some friends. Here are a few of the pages I did. Because I am swimming in a sea of photos right now, I am into simple and clean layouts. If you click on the pictures, you can see them a little better.

It was SO fun to get away for a day and gab with girlfriends! It was also the longest period of time Dave had ever been alone with the baby (and both kids together) and he did great! I think I should go away more often! :)
