much needed day out.....

Decided after the chaotic past week at work that I needed a day out with Nicole. We decided to see the "sights" of Portland and take in a bit of its uniqueness.

Breakfast at the food cart "Flavour"

 A trip to Saturday Market

Spotted some great signs

And just HAD to have a Voodoo Donut and stood in this

 line that wrapped around for almost an hour!

But it was soooooo worth it! 

The signature Voodoo Doll donut....

and of course, a maple bar with BACON!!

We also made a quick stop into Powell's Bookstore for some Easter gifts for Ruby & Makayla. Such a fun day and one we will repeat again very soon!

cute cards & a couple layouts

I spotted this idea over at the  Cosmo Cricket blog and it was a quick and fun activity for Makayla and I to assemble while she was over visiting this morning. It took all of 30 minutes and a few scraps of paper and we each ended up with a set of three note cards. Cuteness!

And since I'm already blogging, here are a few more layouts from the past couple days. And yes, the date on the first one is correct. Those photos are from 2012! I think I'll forever be behind in my scrapping!

Now off to catch up on a few more!

get up!

Maggie loves giving special 'wake up calls' to Butch! She'll nuzzle and snuggle while giving lots and lots of puppy kisses!

A mix of older papers with newer products made this a quick and easy layout to pull together. TFL!

Welcome SPRING!

Our first day of Spring was typical of the PNW with rain, then sunshine, then more rain, and on and on!

Daffodils in full bloom!

Columbine shooting sprouts for flowers

And Bleeding Hearts peeking out to catch a glimpse of the sun!

Spring is my favorite season with all the newness that Mother Nature surrounds us with!

Godspeed

better late than never!

I've been trying really hard to get motivated enough to complete my Holidays 2012 album and I think it finally kicked into gear today! Its not that I don't want to document them, but I'm just ready for SPRING and warmer weather! So my little brain has decided that if I get them scrapped now, maybe, just maybe, Spring will be here shortly. Yeah I know, like that really matters, but it is Our Crazy Little World and I like my place in it. ;-)

 I love it when the pattern paper makes a great backdrop, just add some paper and you're done!

 My first try at Project Life. Not sure if I'd make it a steady diet, but it sure 

did help in getting these precious photos scrapped!

And these papers and photos were meant for each other! CRAZINESS!!

Now onto my next layout before all this mojo wears off!

Godspeed
