Scrapping...

One of the main reasons I decided to start a blog was to join the community of scrapbookers who post their projects online. So here is my first post about scrapbooking!

I have been having a blast playing with Studio Calico's April kit - Jack & Jill. Layouts started happening the moment I got to play with it!

If you couldn't already tell, I've been having a lot of fun experimenting with masks, inks & mists. :)

This LO was also done with Jack & Jill, but also with a touch of Studio Calico's March kit, Garment District.

I also frequent some scrap inspiration blogs. One site I really like is Method Playground. I did this LO for Challenge #42 --- use frames.

And that's it for now! Back to scrapping!

Farm Dogs

It has been just beautiful out the last few days here. High's in the 60's & 70's! So that means lots of walks in the pasture with Sunny & Jake. I took the opportunity to snap some pics of the dogs while we were enjoying the sun. (I can't wait until the grass turns green --> everything will look so much prettier!)

Jake finding something interesting.

Sunny Smiling! :)

Caught Jake mid-run! Look at those ears!

P.S. The nice weather also means the ticks are out. I found 4 on me after our little walk. ewwww!!!

UGGGG!!!

So just when it's getting nice out and we are spoiled with beautiful weather... it snows.

I am to the point where if it doesn't snow 2-3 feet so I can snowmobile on it, then don't bother.

I want warm weather!!!

Tattoo!!!! :o)

So, I finally did it. I got the tattoo I have been wanting to get for the last EIGHT years! Yep! And I'm EXCITTTTED!

Saturday morning, Chris and I drove to Sioux Falls and checked out some houses to move in for Grandma & Grandpa so we can buy and move into their house and let the remodeling begin. We found a few possibilities, but of course the final decision is up to them.

Then we went to the Electric Crayon for my appointment with Erin. She is amazing and did an awesome job on my tat. She drew it up for me (finished the swoopies while I was there) --- so I have an original!! I am so unbelievably happy with it!!

We also had a supper date with Brad & Sheri. We headed out to the new Dundee Steak House. OMG! Yum! All our steaks were delicious - and if you like mushrooms - GET them!

Introducing myself...

So I finally took the plunge and started a blog. I love reading other people's blogs, so I thought it might be fun to have my own.

First, I guess, a little about me. :)

I am a pharmacist for a small chain in South Dakota, Iowa & Minnesota. I not only work retail, but my store fills Rx's for 3 big nursing homes in the area as well as a handful of other group homes. I also do nursing home consulting and give shingles vaccinations.

I am a scrapbooker, and I think that has greatly influenced me starting this blog because so many scrapbookers also have blogs.

I love to travel, but I would much rather fly to my destination than drive. Perhaps this is a result of driving everywhere during my early childhood. But thanks to my parents I have been to over half of the 50 states and I'm sure they are the reason I love it so much. I have also been to Europe 3 times, and I would love to go back!

I am married to my wonderful husband Chris. We will be married for 3 years in June.

He has started his own automotive shop, Grunewald Frame & Glass, with his dad. They do autobody, mechanics, and fix just about anything that needs to be fixed on a car.

We share a commen interest in snowmobiling. We went on a trip to the Black Hills in February.

We have 2 dogs - Sunny & Jake.

and 1 cat - Tiger.

and that is my little family :)
