March Scrap Challenge

[Alishaw]

So for March I thought we'd mix up the ScrapSwap a bit and do something different...

We often scrap all the great moments in our lives, but what about those boring, everyday, not-so-great things? Bad hair days, cleaning bathrooms, nail biting habit, letting laundry pile up, whatever!!

So for March let's do a page featuring something we dislike doing or a pet peeve or a characteristic of ourselves we need to work on. I don't want this to sound like a negative page, just an insightful page into something we don't often scrap about.

Let's take the whole month to work on it and post them here.

[Kelli West]

sounds good to me!!

[Jessica.Hinz]

Oh Alishaw - I don't even think I'll need the full month!!! This is perfect - and it lets you all know a little more about me... hehe! Might have it up tonight!!

[chryslergreen]

Great idea... I always think I need to do more of these "everyday" type pages, and ones that are more about me, but I never seem to get to it. This is a great opportunity! And I can't wait to see what everyone creates.

[Jenny McDonald]

Good idea! I'm up for it!

[Kelli West]

ooo-I just got the idea of what I am going to do for this page!!!

[Shellie]

I want to see your bedhead Kelli. ;)

[Alishaw]

Jessica you must be dang-near perfect if you knew exactly what you wanted to do so soon! I will need all month to write all my imperfections down and choose one!!

You too Kelli!

I'm very excited to see the creativity and pages that come out of this.

[Kelli West]

I want to see your bedhead Kelli. ;)

I will have to have my husband take a picture!!! :) Or you can just see it up at the retreat!! It actually stays looking rather nicely because it is naturally curly!!

[Kelli West]

ok, so here is my LO!! It's nothing too fancy, it's where I work!! I spend 5 days a week there!!! Oh, and I have worked there for waaaaaay too long (6 years)!!

[Kelli West]

ok, so I just realized something!!! I reread this and realized my LO has nothing to do with that. It's just my crazy days at work that I am getting tired of! So let me do another one. Until then, you can all look at my page!

[Alyson]

Kelli, awesome page! I love all the different pics of the little things at work. I especially like the pic of the open sign. If I'm ever in Provo, I will stop in at the Juice Press and hope you are working. ;)

[Shellie]

Cute page!

I'm so coming there the next time I'm in Provo. Do I get the family discount?

[Jessica.Hinz]

Jessica you must be dang-near perfect if you knew exactly what you wanted to do so soon! I will need all month to write all my imperfections down and choose one!!

You too Kelli!

I'm very excited to see the creativity and pages that come out of this.

Not perfect, just have a really bad habit that has come to an end! and I am shouting it from the roof tops!

:)

[Kelli West]

You all should for sure come and visit!! But just so ya know, it's in LINDON!!! That is right before Orem!! If your ever in "DA HOOD" tell me and I will tell you how to get there!!

[Kelli West]

but seriously, EVERYONE knows me by being the "JUICE PRESS GIRL"!!! I was at the stadium of fire one time, and these 2 ladies came up to me and said, "we can't figure out where we know you from, and it's killing us!!" I then told them that I work at Juice Press, and they were like "oh yeah, your the Juice Press girl!" SO yeah, that is who I am!!

[Shellie]

I used to go to Jamba Juice every day. They had my drink made before I even ordered. Then I got pregnant and was sick all the time so I stopped going. It had been a year later and a I was in a restaurant with my family and a girl walked up to me who used to work there. She remembered my name and everything! lol

[Kelli West]

That is funny!! we have customers like that! The minute they walk in I know what to make!!!

[A-to-Z]

Awesome layouts Kelli!!! I love it! I know exactly what I'm going to do for my layout...at least the topic but the design is going to take a while...

[Jessica.Hinz]

I have always known that smoking was bad. I have been smoking since I was a sophomore in college (2002).

I have a good quote to live by:

"Just because you take the alcohol out of the house, it doesn't make you NOT an alcoholic."

The temptation is there. I will always be "a smoker". But that doesn't mean I'm going to actually smoke.

As of March 1st, 2008 - I'm free from smoking.

And it feels GREAT!

[Jenny McDonald]

That's awesome Jessica! If you need a support group we're here for you.

[chryslergreen]

Cute feet Jessica! Good luck with your journey... you can do it!

Kelli - I love your pages too! Although it's making me hungry...

[Alyson]

Jessica, that's awesome!! I wish all the strength and support that you will need because I know it's a hard habit to break. I like your page a lot...love the journaling.

[Kelli West]

Way to go Jessica!! Just like everyone else has said we are here for ya!! You will do great!!

[Kelli West]

I tell ya Lynnette, the food is awesome!! It's too bad you live far away!!

[Kim Hansen]

Hey, JUICE PRESS GIRL!!! I love your page--you are so QUICK!!! The food looks yummy especially the soup. I'm going to stop by too.

Lynette--wow! what an accomplishment. I'm proud of you!

[Kelli West]

Thanks KIMMY hansen..(for some reason I have always wanted to call you Kimmy)!! I will make the food for you personally!

[A-to-Z]

Jessica you are amazing!! You can do it!!

[Kim Hansen]

Kelli Girl, I like KIMMY:) What's your choices of soups. I love soup, do you have rolls with it and honey butter?

[Jenny McDonald]

Yummy honey butter! (saying it in a Homer Simpson's voice)

[Kelli West]

it just depends on the day. We have potato bacon, broccoli & Cheese, chicken noodle, and on vary rare occasions Clam chowder! Soup we sell mainly in the winter, and only do about 1 or 2 kinds a day. The wraps and sandwhiches are what we sell alot of (besides smoothies of course)!!! Sorry no rolls and honey butter!! We are a "healthy' place!

[Kelli West]

Yummy honey butter! (saying it in a Homer Simpson's voice)

Dito!

[Kim Hansen]

We are a "healthy' place!

Kell--eee (In a Homer Simpson voice :)Jenny ) Honey is healthy.

[Kelli West]

yeah, but not with the butter!! Lol...hehe.....Kim I'm glad we are on at the same time! hoo-ray for us!

[rizkid22]

:cheer:Go Jessica Go:cheer: You can do it!!!!! It will not only benefit your body, but your teeth and gums as well!

[Kelli West]

:cheer:Go Jessica Go:cheer: You can do it!!!!! It will not only benefit your body, but your teeth and gums as well!

hmmmmm....can we say dental hygenist? :)

[caulensmom]

Jessica GOOD FOR YOU!! You are doing awesome!
I quit smoking cold turkey last december after a year of smoking and its the best thing I have ever done for myself and my family......and everyone around me. haha

Just a quick helpful hint. Get a ton of cranberry juice and start drinking 8-12 oz or more of it a day. When your blood sugar level is low in your brain thats when the cravings come around. When you smoked there was a chemical in teh nicotine that immediatly satisifes the blood sugar levels in your brain. So when you stop smoking that instant satisfaction is taken away. Cranberry juice is the fastest delivery of sugar to your brain to raise the blood sugar levels in turn making the cravings not as intese if at all. I would drink it regulary for the first three to five days and then after that taper off since it is so high in sugar you dont want to gain that weight.
Also another helpful hint, the reason why people get so hungry and eat so much and so fast until that craving goes away is the reason for the fast weight gain after quitting smoking. Just remember that it takes 20 mintues for the food in your stomach to reach your brain and raise the blood sugar levels. I found that getting scientifical facts about the acutally bodily reactions to all things smoking is the best way to go. LEt me know if there is anything I can help u out with!!
I promise your going to do great!

[supermombritt]

Hang in there. What a great habit to get rid of.

[supermombritt]

So we are really not swapping, but we are doing our own page of an ordinary thing right?

[Kelli West]

right!

[caulensmom]

ok here is mine! haha.:cantBreathe:
This is what the tag says...This is my kithen in its natural state after dinner.
The problem with this picture is that my kitchen
stayes this messy until 1 or 2 am or the following
morning, Unless my husband decides that its annoying
him or somehow I find some secret energy to clean it.
This is my downfall. Now you all know and there is
no reason to hold onto this page because I have not
yet accepted that I am lazy after dinner time!!

[chryslergreen]

I've got to stop reading this thread when I am hungry! Soup, honey butter, cranberry juice... CM's messy kitchen... lol

I tell ya Lynnette, the food is awesome!! It's too bad you live far away!!

You know, my parents are about 10 minutes away, so next time I visit, I may just pop in on ya! That would be fun.

[chryslergreen]

by the way - great page Amy! I still have no clue what I'm going to do... good thing we have a month!

[caulensmom]

by the way - great page Amy! I still have no clue what I'm going to do... good thing we have a month!

lol thank you. Its the first thing that came to mind.:D I would think looking at a pic of my dirty kitchen would make you UN hungry. HAH

[dovegirl]

Caulensmom, great page! But I have to say, the first thing that came to my mind was......is that messy? You must be a tidy cook.

[Alishaw]

Jessica-YEAHHHHHHHHHH (in a Kermit the Frog wailing kinda voice-am I the only muppet fan here?) I'm very proud of you! You can do it! When you're feeling anxious, scrap!
Amy-look at that kitchen! J/K My kitchen gets such seldom customers that it collects dust more than dirty dishes.

Cute layouts guys!

[Alyson]

Amy, love the layout!! I have to admit that I'm lazy after making dinner too. I try to clean as I go so there isn't as much of a mess. I think your kitchen doesn't look too bad though. ;)

[Jessica.Hinz]

Jessica GOOD FOR YOU!! You are doing awesome!

I also heard that the 4th day was the hardest - for whatever reason - well that's today March 4th. I'm doing ok so far! I'll let you guys knows how I do this evening. I'm going to be away from the computer all day... BLAH!!! Anyways!

Talk to you guys tonight!!

[Jessica.Hinz]

Jessica-YEAHHHHHHHHHH (in a Kermit the Frog wailing kinda voice-am I the only muppet fan here?) I'm very proud of you! You can do it! When you're feeling anxious, scrap!
Amy-look at that kitchen! J/K My kitchen gets such seldom customers that it collects dust more than dirty dishes.

Cute layouts guys!

I actually started a box two nights ago. Where I'm painting a cardboard box, then I'm going to scrap on the box how my craving is dimenishing, and what kinds of things I'm doing besides smoking (and besides eating!!!)

I'm so happy! PLUS! In just 4 days i DO notice a difference in the whiteness of my teeth! yay!!!

[Kim Hansen]

Day 4 Jessica--drink that cranberry juice--keep busy--you can do it!:cheer:

Amy, love your red in your kitchen.

[Jenny McDonald]

I love your layout Amy the red walls are great!

[Kelli West]

Yay Jessica!! Keep on going girl!

[caulensmom]

Jessica you are doing awesome! Check back and tell us how you are feeling. Your right. THe fourth day is the worst, but it only takes 72 hrs for the nicotine to completly be out of your system, if your going cold turkey. The rest is all in your head!:D

Life would be boring without challenges to better ourselves! :D

:cheer::cheer::cheer::cheer::cheer::cheer::cheer:: cheer:

[Alishaw]

Jessica, you need to reward yourself at like 6 weeks or something and have your teeth bleached or something fun like that! A massage, pedi, just something special for your great accomplishment! Keep it up!!

[Kelli West]

yeah, just think of the money you are saving, you can now spend that on clothes and DSM stuff!! yay!!

[Jessica.Hinz]

Oh, the hubby and I had massages on Saturday (the day we quit) to speed the process along - y'know move the toxins, etc. - anyways, so yeah, we're doing great. OH! PS. I'm going to have a kick ASS layout that I SHOULD be done with one Sunday. I'll keep you guys posted!

You guys Rock!

[a_c_danica]

Go Jessica GO!!!! I'm sorry about the side effects...your swollen feet! But you will get it!

[Jamie Hamblin]

I was looking through some LO today and i saw this and i said ... Hum this could work for the march scrap swap.

I'm still working on another good one though!


Pre-made LO DSM the Garden

[Kim Hansen]

Perfect Jaime, and wasn't that easy? We love these pre-made layouts April. Thanks.

[Kelli West]

[ninna01]

You guys are a hoot!!!! If I can figure my program out by then....maybe I can make a LO by then too.............Who knows??????

[A-to-Z]

Welcom ninna01!! hope you can get a layout done in time and even if not you should still do one and post it whenever it gets done. We would love to see it!

[A-to-Z]

Great layouts everyone!

[Alishaw]

[Jessica.Hinz]

[Kelli West]

[Jenny McDonald]

I love all these layouts. I need to get started on my too. Been busy the last two days!

[Kim Hansen]

Been busy the last two days!

Playing with your new camera?:)

[peetie]

When are the layouts supposed to be done?

[Jenny McDonald]

By the end of the month!

[peetie]

Thanks, Jenny. BTW, I love your avatar picture. What a sweet baby face!

[LucyLu]

March Challenge.. All items from "OH BOY" from DSM with the exception of the stitching it is from Collection One also from DSM and the striped ribbon is from Winter Wonderland Collection DSP.

[Kelli West]

Dottie that is a GREAT page!! I love the topic you chose (it's close to my heart) :)!! I couldn't read the journaling very well just because the page size is smaller, but i like what you did with the pictures!!

[LucyLu]

thankyou Kelli... here is what is says ... hope you are feeling better

In 2008 I need to seriously work on my weight, and eating the right kinds of foods. I need to use my two gym memberships, and the exercise equipment that I have at home. I need to see the numbers on the scale go ever smaller. Not only because it will make me look and feel better, but because it will enhance the quality of my life and well as the quantity. Making this public knowledge has increased my desire to finally really work on this goal. Yes, I have been working on it for several years but have not made any real significant progress. So here is a toast to a thinner more healthy me in 2008.

[Alyson]

Dottie, your page looks great! I really like the pictures and the journaling is awesome too. I wish luck and will power, and I'm sure that next year at this time you can make a new page about how successful you have been!

[Kim Hansen]

Dottie--spring's coming soon:) It's a lot more fun to work out in the sunshine. Nice layout.

[Kim Hansen]

My pet peeve is seeing HANDPRINTS on the walls at my house. I know it's weird but all my family and their friends know that they are not to touch the walls. I wish they would listen and obey. I still clean fingerprints off weekly.

[dovegirl]

Kim, that is so fun! I love it!!!!!!

[LucyLu]

Kim ... what a fun picture... cute layout ..

yea for spring

[Alyson]

Kim, very cute!! Love the CSI and fingerprint expert! Great picture too!!

[chryslergreen]

LOL Kim! I love it! I love that your personality totally shines through with this page, you are so cute!

[Kelli West]

Kim all I have to say is... YOU GO GIRL!! that lO ROCKS!!! I don't see many from you, but I just love it! I agree with Lynnette when she says your personality shines through!! great job!

[Kim Hansen]

Thanks girls--I just love you all.

[A-to-Z]

Dottie that page is great! You should keep it so it can help motivate you! So cute.

Kim I love the way you did your layout! Very clever and cute!

[Jamie Hamblin]

Cute pages you

[Alishaw]

Dottie-so great! I love your journaling and tackling a subject like that. A few of us are working on that very topic!
Kim-I totally hear you! I'm working on a pet peeve page too for mine. Great layout!

[scrapy]

Kim-That is a cute layout and cute family. I had fun Saturday night, let's do it again.

[Kim Hansen]

Thanks Stacy. It was so fun to meet you too. I hope you are having a wonderful time in Phoenix. Can't wait to see you again at the retreat.

[Elsie]

This is my first scrap challenge! Hope this is where you meant for me to post it. It's not that I HATE doing laundry, it just never seems to end. The journaling reads:

"Here at my house we have a magic laundry hamper...no matter how many times you empty it, more dirty clothes appear.

We also have a sock eating dryer and clothes hangers that tangle themselves up at night while we are sleeping.

And I don’t like those new little laundry care symbols
...I can never remember what they mean.

And the ironing...let’s not forget the ironing!"

That's me in the washer....

[Elsie]

Kim, that is an awesome page. Around my house, it's not hand prints on the windows, it's BIRD prints. We live out in the woods and the poor birds fly into our windows all the time (or peck at them, thinking they are fighting off their refection). Luckily, the majority fly away.

[Kelli West]

Elsie that is a GREAT page! I absolutely love how you put your face in the washer!! Lol...great job!

[dovegirl]

Elsie, Your page is great! That was very creative to put you in the washer.

[Alishaw]

Elsie, too cute! I feel the same way about laundry...it's a neverending bottomless pit!!

[Alyson]

Elsie, I love it!! So great the way you put your picture inside the washer. It looks great and it was so creative!! I love the journaling too. I was laughing while I was reading it...many of those things hit home. :D

[rizkid22]

Freakin' AWESOME Elsie!!! I loved every bit of it! The journaling cracked me up and I love the face in the washer. So great!

[rizkid22]

I think I kind of forgot about this thread, but I love all the pages in it. Jessica, how are you doing with the no smoking agenda? Hope it is going alright, and hooray for whiter teeth! That's awesome! Keep up the good work!

[chryslergreen]

Awesome - I love the laundry page! Your journaling is too cute, and being stuck in the washer, lol!

[Kim Hansen]

Elsie--I'm totally with you on the laundry. Cute page. I like the hangers in the corner and your title--LOST IN LAUNDRY. Clever.

[LucyLu]

what a clever page... I remember those days when my kids were young

[supermombritt]

Cute page Elsie. What a fun way to look at laundry.

[Jenny McDonald]

Cute page! I love my front loaders!

[Sarah Ellsworth]

This is my first time posting a page so hopefully it works. :o I found this challenge quite inspiring. For me... my everyday challenge is mud on my floors. I wasn't feeling too hot today so I sent my three girls out back to play. I heard a lot of giggling and slamming of doors so I came downstairs to check on them this is what I found. They had gotten a pitcher of warm water (because the hose was too cold) and created a mud-bath for their feet. Mud marks the beginning of Spring for me, and it's a constant battle at my house.

[chryslergreen]

Cute Sarah! I love the page (very springy!), but I would hate the mess!

[peverill]

Cute page Sarah! Sorry about the mess but it is nice that they are not afraid of a little mud. It looks like they had some FUN!

[chryslergreen]

My page is about messy stuff too. I wish I was better at keeping my house tidy and eliminating clutter. I want to have a magazine-ready home... you know one of those that you would see in Better Homes and Gardens or something. It's not happening anytime soon... I call it a beautiful mess though because even though the time I spend neglecting it is time well spent, and I wouldn't change it. I just need more hours in the day. Everything is DSM except the little tag and the stamped journaling lines.

[LucyLu]

fun pages ladies

[Alishaw]

Sarah, so cute! Love your mud footprints!
Lynnette, just pick one spot to make magazine ready and then when it's under control, pick another spot and you can do it! Very cute page!

[lanz]

I love those pages ladies.

[susiekline]

Thank God for swiffers, Sarah! I have boys and dogs...and endless amounts of mud!!! Great page!

[Sarah Ellsworth]

Thanks guys. It was fun.

[Kim Hansen]

Sarah, your layouts are beautiful already!

Tori, Beautiful Mess--Yes. Love the title and your page is also very attractive.

Alishaw, this was a very fun challenge.

[tpowers]

I love these pages. I especially like the laundry page. That is my biggest problem and what I am going to do my page on if I get time. It is so fun to see all the different styles and problems.

[rizkid22]

Great job guys! I love 'em!

[Jenny McDonald]

Sarah, that is beautiful. Your girls will love that you scrapped about that when they look at the album in a few years.
Lynette, I need tips from you! Your pages are so creative and beautiful! If I had just 1/4 of your creative mind I'd be happy.

[Jill]

Thank God for swiffers, Sarah! I have boys and dogs...and endless amounts of mud!!! Great page!

I too have boys, a dog and lots of mud. But unfortuantly I also have carpet!! Not a really good combo.

I have never really checked this section out. I have been missing some fun things. What fun ideas ya'll have.

[Jenny McDonald]

We're getting hardwood in the main traffic areas because of our great dane. I'd rather mop then have to vacuum then clean the carpet then vacuum again.

[Alyson]

Sarah, love your page! The pictures are fun and the arrangement is great!

Lynette, beautiful page and great journaling! I wish I had that good of a reason when my house is messy. ;)

[peetie]

Here's mine. It's my second digi scrapbook page. It's about laundry, too. This was a fun challenge because I never would have thought to do a page about laundry! I hate laundry!

laundry1200-web.jpg

[Elsie]

Thanks for all the nice comments. I have spent the entire week trying to figure out things in Photoshop (one thing leads to another...started out just trying to figure out how to make text in a circle...finally succeeded today...trick seems to be you have to use a lot of keyboard shortcuts; things don't appear in menus). Guess what DIDN'T get done? You're right...the LAUNDRY!

[LucyLu]

peetie ... cute layout... love the clothes pins

[Kelli West]

Sarah, I just love your LO you did!!! It's really cute, and i love the paper you used!
Lynnette, like always kyou LO is amazing. I have to agree with what Jenny said!!
And Peetie, Holy cow girl youare doing a great job on your pages!! I like the word art you did witht he saying (and yes it is EVIL)!!!
Beautiful pages you gusy!!

[Angie I]

All of these pages are great!! I love this idea. Here is the one I did--a little something that I do not like about myself. I used papers and elements from studio flergs scrapbook graphics sunshine sweets.

[chryslergreen]

Angie that page is so pretty! (Cute avatar, too!)

[Alishaw]

Peetie-love the laundry page!! SO cute!

Angie-that can be so hard to scrap-very proud of you. Most people who are shy listen well and take in a lot they just don't say it! Great page!

[Kelli West]

Angie, that is a great page!! do be hatin on your self!! My friend is shy, and the other day at enrichment i was talking (like i always do) and then i apologized to her for talking to much (i felt like i was just going on and on) and she told me that it was refreshing to talk to me becuase she is shy and has a hard time coming up with conversations, and like the fact that i can keep talking! so just find someone that talks a lot! lol..i'm retarded!!! :)

[rizkid22]

You're funny Kelli!

Peetie- I can't believe that is your second page! It looks so good!

Angie-Your page is so beautiful. I love the colors. Don't be shy around here! We want to see more of you!!

[susiekline]

Here's mine. A little glimpse into my world!! I was going to do a page on an illness I have but think that will be next--lots of pictures to take for that! ugh!

[Alyson]

I'm running out of time...I really need to get something done for this challenge!

All of the layouts you girls have done are fantastic!!

[Kelli West]

Susie it looks GREAT!!! I hate paper clutter! ours seems to gather on the kitchen table!!!

[Kim Hansen]

This swap has been so fun and you girls have come up with a lot of my pet peeves too! Laundry for sure, cluttered desk--mine's clean for one to two days and then it's a mess. Angie, don't be shy, just like Kristal says, "We're so glad you're here" Talk (type) away.

Great pages girls. Keep them coming. I'm looking forward to seeing yours Alyson.

[Angie I]

Susie,
I get that clutter around the computer too. The kids seem to think that is where everything goes when they are asked to clean up!

Thanks everyone for the nice comments on my layout. I was a little nervous to post it.

[Jill]

Angie,
I loved your page. I think you are fabulous!

[lanz]

Angie and Peetie great pages. I could take a picture of my whole house for this challenge. I have the hardest time keeping up on things. I just try and take it one day at a time. I also hate laundry. My daughter is probably the worst of the mess makers around our house. She's only three, but give her anything and she will make a mess out of it. She will help clean it up though, so that is a good thing. I am finally learning that there are a lot of things around the house that I do, that can be done by the kids. I have finally started letting my five year old clean the bathroom. Of course, I sit there and watch him do it, but he is learning to do a great job. I have also told him that next week while he is off of school he is going to help me clean the inside of the fridge. Something I haven't done in forever and needs to get done. If I offer him money he will definately be motivated to do a good job.

[Alishaw]

FINALLY got mine done. I did mine on all those little naggy conversations we have OVER & OVER & OVER again in my house. They are quite comical since I think we nag out of habit now and not true bother.

[Jenny McDonald]

That's so cute Alisha! Love it!

[susiekline]

Alishaw that's hilarious!!! What a great idea!

[Kim Hansen]

Alisha, I'm laughing. I love the cup one--He: "I never know if I'm done or not!" Really fun page.

Where's Alyson. I haven't seen her for a few days. Are you okay Alli? I'm looking forward for your layout:) I love to see your designs--no pressure though.

[Angie I]

Alisha,
I love this page!! Very cute and creative. Those little comments are for sure an everyday for us too.

[supermombritt]

Cute page Alisha. My hubby and I have some of those same conversations.

[Kelli West]

Alisha, that is hilarious! i love it, and it is so creative!! If it makes you feel better my husband goes through about 4 cups a day!! I tell him all the time that he only needs one perday!!! they just don't understand!

[peetie]

I love the messy car one! I feel like I have everything in my car, it really bugs my husband! Very cute idea.

[chryslergreen]

Very cute Alisha! I, too, can relate...

Where's Alyson. I haven't seen her for a few days. Are you okay Alli? I'm looking forward for your layout:) I love to see your designs--no pressure though.

Hey Kim, I've been pretty busy lately, and I had company this weekend. I haven't even gotten on the computer except to check my e-mail for 4 days. I don't think I'll be able to get the challenge done by today, but maybe I can post one in April. Thanks for being concerned about me. :D

Alishaw, your page is so cute!! I love the idea of He said, She said.

Alisha, I loved this idea. So great. Do you think our children will smile when the are grown if they hear someone having similar conversations? I do when I hear things like that that remind me of my parents.

I smile when I hear the same conversations my folks had!
