What's up.

I feel like now I am officially a scrapbooker. I FINALLY finished my first scrapbook (which I've been working on for either 4 or 5 years now...can't remember) and it's really funny to see the evolution of my style through it. It was a lot of fun, and now I'm ready to start another one. I went and got myself a The Stack and a couple of albums, and a file thingy to keep my hundreds of papers in. I've gone through pictures from 2001 and think I'd like to make a scrapbook of the entire year, even though some of that stuff was covered in my finished album (my wedding album, which has stuff briefly about our courtship, engagement, etc.). I want to be able to have more pages devoted to pictures, and I think I won't do as much journaling in this one.
Yesterday Heather and I went to a baby shower for Meggan. She is looking very cute, and has I think two more months to go. The shower was fun; it was at Maylene's house, which I hadn't seen before, and I got to visit with her, her mom, and a few other people. Heather and I had a nice visit on the way to & from it too, and then the Teilborgs stayed for dinner yesterday. Forrest had been watching the boys while we were at the shower, and took them to the park with Matthew. It sounds like they had a lot of fun.
I'm excited about my new clothesline. I've only dried one load in the dryer since it was built...I think we're going to save some money on electric, besides doing something good for the environment!
This morning when it was still dark, I looked out the window and was bummed because I thought it had snowed. Then I realized that I was just seeing the flowers on the maple trees, and being half-asleep, mistook them for clumps of snow clinging to the branches. Silly me!
I can't believe I've typed this entire post and my kids haven't got up yet. I guess they all really got worn out yesterday, which is great. It's nice to have a peaceful morning all to myself.

I love your clothesline! Isn't it a bit high to reach though?

I really need to get back into scrapbooking...I was on a roll and then got distracted with other things.

Holly--actually, the clothesline is just at the right level...I do have to reach a little, but once it's weighed down with some laundry I don't anymore. I love it too!
Rachel--I know what you mean. It helps a lot to have Lynné call me up every so often and ask if I want to get together to work on scrapbooks. It also helps to look at what she's done in hers--gives me lots of ideas! When you come up you should bring pictures and I have lots of paper, pens, stickers, glue sticks, etc. We could do it in our spare time! (ha ha)
