More about Tunisia

Some more pages to share.  With the recent events in Tunis, we keep the people there in our prayers for a safe resolution to their political unrest and are thankful for the opportunity we had to experience it when we did.  Beautiful place.

Day 4: Part 1- Tunis, Tunisia

We realize we were fortunate to be overseas to visit Tunisia when we were.  Here are the first two pages of our adventure:

Menu Planning- Week 2 of 2011

I admit I go through my week and grab the recipes from blogs and such that look yummy and keep track of them here.  So sue me ;) Isn't that what a blog is for?

Monday: Grilled Pepperoni and Mozz Ciabatta Sandwiches
Tuesday: Indonesian Peanut Chicken
Wednesday: Spaghetti with Meat Sauce & Garlic Bread
Thursday: Crock Pot Chicken Chili with brown rice
Friday: Brats with Mac & Cheese
Saturday: Might try this: Sausage and Potato Casserole without the green peppers
Sunday: Baked Pasta & Butternut Squash

What's on your menu? Link me up :)  Am really looking for dishes that I can make into single serve portions of and then freeze them.  Kid friendly ones would make me swoon, but even ones appropriate for a recovering picky-eater like me would be awesome.

P365: Week 2

I've been having far too much fun scrapping this week.  I believe (if my math is right), I've created about 20 layouts. :) Um, yay!

Here's the next installment of my P365.  Again, created using the kit available from Owl Tree Studios created by Wild Blueberry Ink & Joey Lynn Designs: Project365- 2011 Version.

Week 2

You'll notice I shifted the dates a bit, a la my friend Jen.  It just flows better with the journaling and kudos to her for picking up the slight change.  I love that these templates are layered which allow to also change the font, colors, whatever if you don't love how it's put together as-is.  Me?  I love that I'm basically entering my photo a day, writing a line and then am done for the day. 
I am also posting the pictures to my 365project album.  There are some seriously talented individuals over there!

So, it's week 2 of 2011.  We're 3.8% done with the year.  How are you doing on those goals you set for yourself?  Huh?

Goodbye Malta

I can't believe I scrapped 6 pages about Malta in two days.  I started this project on Tuesday (pretty much with nothing- I gathered up the memory cards and just started).  And I now have 14 pages.

More Pages to Make you Drool

If you're like me and covered in snow right now, how could this NOT make you drool and wish for some place sunny?  It's been keeping me warm all day just remembering how hot, sunny and perfect it was on the island of Malta...

More Disney Scrapping Pages

Seriously, these Simply Kelly templates are awesome for helping me get these pages finally put together.

How did I get started?  Well, I gathered the 3 memory cards & 1 CD that all held images I knew I wanted to include as well as the journal I kept while on the ship and created 2 folders on my hard drive.  One under my "Pictures" root which then was labeled "Disney Cruise 2010" and then a separate folder for each day of the cruise/vacation. I moved all the images pertaining to that day to its appropriate folder.

And I started scrapping, referencing the journal when memory fails.

I anticipate still ending up with a collage at the very end of random shots, but is awesome.  I've scrapped 8 pages of our trip today in less than about 6 hours.

All kits come from Britt-Ish Designs and complete credits can be found in my TwoPeas gallery.

Disney, oh how I love thee...

There are projects that we all avoid tackling, despite how fulfilled we know the finished product will leave us.  It can be anything from planning the weekly menu to throwing out all the crap in our pantry so we're more likely to actually reach that NY resolution to lose 10 pounds, from finishing that quilt top that's been sitting in the corner for...well...  a long time to finally scrapping those pictures we KNOW we have somewhere.

Well, that's how I've felt about the European trip we took this past fall.  Do you all know how many pictures I took?  I filled 2 8GB memory cards and have several pictures from my small P&S to encorporate as well as the Disney Photo CD we purchased on board.  Sigh.

But, then Kelly sent out her latest release to those of us on her CT.  Um, yeah, I can do that...  It's "technically" a Project365 set of templates, but they're incredibly versatile.  Just take a look!

P365 Template Set 1

How does she know it'll work for a P365?  It's the template she used to create her own personal project from 2010.  I think she's pretty safe making the claim ;)

But what did I do with them?  This...
