Ya know, after doing the April Fool's Day Blog Hop and seeing how creative everyone was, I got some great ideas. I already knew that my oldest daughter has the creative bug, she draws unbelievably well. It's amazing.
These are just a few of her drawings. The first one was from an art project at school.
This is a picture of her and her dad. She sketched this picture below.
This one she did for my best friend. It's a sketch of my best friends kids and her mom. My daughter did this as a Mother's Day gift for my best friend and she loved it!
While I was in my craft room this morning, my youngest daughter was in there playing around and she's very creative too. She made these really cute pictures of sharks and babies and stuff then cut a strip and put the pictures through the strip of paper and had them "swim" or "move" across the page. (I didn't get pics, I'm sorry, I'll try to get some posted later!)
Anyway, I'm going to try to explore this idea a little more with her using my scrapbook paper (and not my white boring printer paper) tonight! I'll show you what we come up with.
Until then, happy crafting!!!!
Much love and creativity,

Creativity Runs In The Family

Sometimes things are just hard.
Hey everyone!
Just a quick blog update for ya. It's been tough trying to get myself into this new "being home" thing without a job. I'm not used to not working. I've been working since I was 16 years old. The transition is a little depressing. (Maybe it wouldn't be so depressing if I didn't need to find a job! LOL) Anyway, I plan on doing some crafting this weekend with my kids so I will hopefully be posting some fun activities we try soon.
I was at Wal-Mart grocery shopping last night and I couldn't help but wander over to the scrapbooking section. It's so amazing how much stuff they carry. I also found a little store in the next town that sells scrapbook supplies. I have a feeling that will be my little guilty pleasure. I really love to look at all the scrapbooking supplies in there!
Anyway, for now, I have to get my house cleaned up a bit and run some errands. Have a happy Thursday everyone and I hope meet up in cyberspace soon!

Introduction!
I suppose that this should've been the first post but what can I say? I never do anything in order!
So, a little about me. I'm a busy mom of 4 kids ranging in age from 15 all the way down to 5. They are my life. My husband, Mark, and I have been together for almost 14 years and we live in northern Minnesota (the coldest place on the planet). We moved here from Sunny Phoenix, Arizona in 2006. The question we get most often is "Why would you move from Phoenix to Minnesota?" Well the answer to that is quite simple..... My husband is crazy! :P
I'm relatively new to the whole scrapbooking world but I love paper crafts. I got my Cricut Expression for Christmas in 2008 and I love it. It's so much fun to play with. I only have a couple of cartridges but I'm hoping that my library builds up quickly. My favorite thing to do is scrap my life but I like making cards too. I have a 7-year-old daughter who loves to scrapbook with me. She's my little crafter!
This blog was created as a way for me to share my creativity with the world. So, if you have any suggestions, I'd love to hear them. Just send me an email with your suggestions and I'd be happy to create it for you!
Thank you for taking the time to look at my blog. Please share your thoughts! I'd love to hear them!
