What am I Working on Now?

Wow--I forgot how fast time flies when I am back to work.  I can't believe it is Thursday already.  Thanks for all the well wishes with Michael.  I see a bit of an imporvement in him so hopefully he will be back to his normal self by the weekend! 

Well what have I been working on?
Well, I have had this picture since October and I just haven't been able to come up with a good idea for it.  I have it framed in my living room, but I couldn't seem to work with it.  So finally I had my sketch pad and I finally came up with something. I have been stuck on circles again so this sketch has a circle in it.

I knew I wanted to use the Imaginisce Apple Cider Collection.  Can you believe that after this layout I will have used every single piece and scrap of the paper line.  I bought 2 pieces of every differnt pattern paper and I will have used everything. I just LOVED this line.  I will have to take a count of how many pages I made with it. 

So here is the basic layout of the paper.  In total my plan is to use 4 differnt patter pieces on the layout.  I wonder what my record is--I just love to layer and layer.  The tree paper is just one of my favorites!

Many people have asked what do I do with my kids when I am scrapping?  Well I thank  you for all of your questions--I read all of our emails and comments and to answer that question I needed to show you.  Here they are right with me.  My scrap room is in the basement and attached to the playroom.  So they are with me every second I scrap.  Most days like today they are right next to me working on something. They have their own desk, but most of the time they like to share mine.  It gets a little crowded but I just put some stuff on the floor and go with it! Today Michael wanted to make a sticker page and color and Jack just wanted to hang out with us instead of playing.  I LOVE it when we are all together!  I don't get much accomplished when we are all sitting together but then who cares --right?

Hopefully I will have this layout completed by the weekend and I will post it in the next couple of weeks! 

Don't forget about the AWESOME challenge that is going on right now at Scrap Our Stash.  Make a layout, card, altered project that has something NEW in it ( the word new, a new tool, a new technique, a new attitude etc)  My DT work will be here and on the Scrap our Stash blog on Saturday!!!  I would love one of my followers to win the challenge!!

So thanks for stopping by today! I will be back tomorrow with another  new layout!
