What's new?

Nothing much really! I spend this long weekend at home with my DH and kiddos. We usually go to see the fireworks but this year we decided to stay home except for my daughter which she went out with my niece to their friends party/barbecue/fireworks (all in one). On Saturday we went to the Natural History museum with the boys. They had a blast! They were very excited about the dinosaurs most of all.






After that we decided to stop by the Library. I got some great craft books which I've been meaning to get. I don't usually do crafts, but I have been getting into these "crafty" moods lately. I 'm willing to give anything a try so I got some craft books. I think I'm going to start with felt. I have tons of felt from when I used to do daycare which were stored in the basement. Last week I brought them upstairs just so that I can see what colors I had and get them organized. Anyhow, I spend my weekend creating this mini book. My first one ever! Let me tell you that these are so much fun to do! Sorry about the pictures again... bad camera, low lighting, etc...





A pastor was giving a class about the four types of temperaments the other day and I had also read a couple of books about the different types of temperaments (Choleric, Sanguine, Phlegmatic, and Melancholic). Analyzing them I came to the conclusion that my type of temperament is Melancholic, I would say that 90% is Melancholic and the other 10% has a little of the other three. Anyway, I did this mini book about the good things about this type of temperament and a few "not so good" things that I have which come with the package of having this type of temperament, lol. I mostly wanted to focus on the good things and not so much on the bad...lol. You can see more pictures here. The book still needs more journaling, embellishments and a last photo for the "Persistent" page.

I got so many things I want to do before starting next school semester. Like painting my kitchen, living room, basement, and my son's bedroom. I also need to redecorate my kitchen after it gets painted. Today I will be stopping by HomeDepot to get the paint and hopefully start sometime this week with the kitchen. Okay guys thanks for reading. Have a nice day.

Finally Done!

This morning I finally got to scrap on the Scrap Your Day Book. If I didn't explain before, well, every 25th of the month I will shoot my day and then scrap it for an entire year. The book I bought for this project turned out to be smaller than it was supposed to be so I had and will be using 4 pages instead of 2 like it was suggested by Shimelle. The layout will be different, too. Again, because of the size of the book. But the point is to document the day on each month for the year, which I will try to do.

Yesterday, when I went to get my photos at Sam's Club I saw this cute complete kit. I totally fell in love with it so I had to get it. I love it. Next time I'll get the other cute kit they had.

Two other digi layouts I did the other day. The first one is from 365 Day Challenge (day 178, prompt 178).


My first two pages on my new Journal. It's not a molenskie but is close to it, I think. Just practicing before I get a real one.

Sorry about the photo quality. Trust me all these look much better in person! Also, something is going on with my camera. I can't wait to get my camera! Arrggg! Patience, Diana, patience! Lol.

T-Ball and Scrap Your Day

Today was my son's first T-Ball game. I was a little scared at first, just because he's never played any type of games such as baseball before but, he did really well. I thought he would tell me he was tired or that he wanted to go to the swings, or go home. But he didn't. He followed what the coach told him and played his little game like a big guy! I'm so proud of him. Here's a few photos I took.



Last night I got started with my Scrap Your Day Book. I did the cover and first page. I also ordered the pictures online to be printed and to pick up on Monday. So the pictures of last Wednesday (the 25th) are not printed out yet therefore, the first page can't be scrapped, yet.


Thanks for stopping by my blog. See ya!
