Michael Bublé {Crazy Love}
Have you guys heard this cd yet? It totally rocks - you should definitely pick it up! I'm listening to it right now and I absolutely LOVE it!
It really reminds me of the days of riding in the car with my parents. I grew up on this type of music and to hear Michael Bublé record them makes me smile!

check it out... I scrapped!!
I started this layout like a week or so ago. It's been a long and rough road, and there are so many things I still can't do since my shoulder surgery. After doing this page, I discovered rub-on's are one of those things. So... I'm gonna lay off them for awhile. I do hope this page breaks the pattern though, and I get back to scrapping. I really do miss it!
It's not the best page in the world, but it's a page none the less - and I'm thrilled with it!!

they say it takes {21 days}
One thing I have learned is that there is always something to improve on, whether we think so or not. I know there are so many things that I can do to change and improve my life (I'm sure no one will disagree here), however I know that in my life, I can only try those things one at a time.
Right now it's difficult for me to scrap, but I have decided to join rhonna farrer in the journey of 21 days. For me, at this moment... I am trying to stop biting my nails. For most it seems a trivial thing, but for me this is a huge change. I have been a nervous biter since I was a child, and what better time to start this than when I can't raise my arm to my mouth - right?!
As for me and my surgery, thank you to everyone who has sent prayers and well wishes. I am doing well... although not as well as I would have hoped. I would love to say that I am completely capable of functioning on my own - but unfortunately that is not the case. I can do many things on my own again - but at this point I still need a great deal of help. I can keep the arm out of the sling more than it is in it, but it is still difficult and extremely painful. I am happy to say that in the last few days I actually held my baby boy for the first time since August 25th! However, I did pay for that and had to load myself up with pain meds so I could get a good night sleep. Time is passing and my arm is progressively getting stronger, so I would love your continued prayers and well wishes.
On a side note - at least when they opened up my shoulder they discovered there was in fact an injury. It wound up being a rotator cuff injury - but the outcome was still the same, they wound up shaving the bone in my shoulder down so the joint would have more room. Apparently with the Crohn's Disease, the inflammation won't go down on it's own - so they just give it more room.
As for scrapping, I have high hopes that if I can get my hard drive plugged back in, I will at least be able to throw together a digital page or two... so we'll see.

Dreamgirls Monochromatic White Challenge
So I decided that I was going to scrap today... and the monochromatic white challenge at Dreamgirls was too much for me to resist.
I love how this turned out, thanks so much for the cool challenge and awesome inspiration!
I'm just not sure why they have their tongues out, but I'm sure there are similarly silly pictures of me at that age floating around. And they are such a cute couple, I can't help but scrap them!

guess I should point out that the stitching is a bad running stich through the lace. it's hard to see...

ScrapAttackScrapbooking - August Kit!!
Let me just tell you that I LOVED working with the August Kit from Scrap Attack Scrapbooking this month! The kit includes the new awesomeness of Nikki Sivils. If you haven't seen her wonderful lines - definitely check out her blog.
This kit is just tons of fun with the bright yellows, greens and cherries - which definitely work for scrapping those summer pictures! So, go check out the August Kit in the Scrap Attack Scrapbooking Store!

more newbies in my Etsy Store
I added a few new journaling spots and goodies to my Etsy Store and thought I would share them here as well.
I going to create a page or two to show how they can be used, so stay tuned for examples!
But for now, here are some of them, be sure to check all of them out in my store. I think they are very reasonably priced (but feel free to let me know if you don't think they are - that's the only way I can ensure happy customers).
