So, okay, I know I’m a slacker. We went to the Pumpkin Farm on Sunday, and I still haven’t uploaded the pics. It’s just that there are so many of them and I have a lot of editing to do. I promise to work on it today though, okay Jenny? Here’s my favorite of the day from our trip. From the boy who doesn’t like his pic taken, he sure is photogenic. My mother took this photo. My batteries died an hour in, (sucky!) so I couldn’t take any more pics. We had a good time, though. Can’t wait to start scrapping! Oh, with what pictures? Well, my batteries may have died, but my Mom and my sister wouldn’t let me down! I have plenty to scrap from.

I’ve started yet another new blog, strictly for paper crafts. So check it out, links are in the sidebar. So here I’ll post fave photos and inspiration, and then I have seperate blogs for digi and paper scrapping. I hope to continue inspiring all of you out there. Happy Blogging!

Hope. By Sarah Barber. PP: K & Company, rub on: Basic Grey, chipboard title: K & Company, laser cut lace tape: K & Company, ink: Jim Holtz, fonts: Air Stamp Medium, Resurrection, Modern no. 20, & Quiggly.

I finally did a paper layout. I wrapped up with the IBCA project today. At least for now. I’ll be doing another book hopefully next year when they get a new budget. I need a break anyway. So I was actually able to scrap for myself. Taking the advice of Ali Edwards, life artist from CK Magazine, I decided to document a day in the life of Tarrah and I. I’m extremely proud of this LO because of the journaling. I know that when she’s older, this will be a wonderful glimpse into our private little world.

@2 by Sarah Barber. PP is Basic Grey’s new Recess Collection, I printed the journaling on a transparency so as not to compromise the design, foam stickers by Miss Elizabeth, die-cuts cut with Cuddlebug, fonts used were Pollo, Modern No. 20, and CK Printer.

It’s been a very long weekend.  This was the weekend that Bob took Tarrah for the entire weekend.  She’s never been apart from Mommy that long.  I wonder how’s she’s doing for the 100th time as I curse Bob for not having a phone.  I’m sure she’s fine.  I try not to think about it too much.  

You’d think I’d get plenty done without a two-year-old under foot.  Wouldn’t you know it, this is the weekend I get sick.  So after work, I pretty much vegged out Friday and Saturday night in front of the TV and started a new afghan.  Gasp, OMG!  No scrapbooking!  I did complete one digital layout for a contest, but I can’t share it here till the contest ends.  And it’s annonomous, so I can’t link you to it.  Sorry!  

Last night as I was getting ready for bed, it struck me how lonely Tarrah’s Pooh bear was in her bed, all alone.  Yeah, okay, I really want my baby back now.  But, she got to spend the weekend with her brothers and sister and Daddy.  I’m sure she had a ball and didn’t think about me once.  Well, hopefully she thought about me a little.  

So I have one more day to get through.  I’m off to work and when I get home, I can go pick her up.  Yeah!  Have a happy Sunday everybody! 

Tarrah and I were out looking for things to do today. I have the weekend off, but there was no Dylan here today to keep us company. It gets lonely sometimes with just the two of us.

In the spirit of trying to have some fun, I decided to pull out some of Tarrah’s dress up clothes. She got to be a fairy! I let her run around outside for an hour in her Tink costume. Thank you Lindsay! She loves the pretty dresses.

I’ve been keeping busy with more designing today. I have a new paper kit on my website, SassyScrapperDesigns.com. It’s pretty hardcore looking, but hey, I create what I’m feeling. I was feeling pretty emotionally extreme today.

I’ve entered another contest. There’s a shocker. The Basic Grey website is having a contest for their new collection Obscure. Basic Grey is my favorite brand of scrapbook paper. Any chance to win their stuff and I’m in. So they posted my entry in their gallery. Check it out!

Tarrah and I watched the new movie Flushed Away tonight. It was cute, and she loved it. I think her favorite part was the singing slugs. She sure loves music. And then Mommy made her sit through Flicka. I cried like a baby throughout most of it. Maybe it’s almost that time of the month?

I’ve finally got my website up and running. It’s nothing fabulous right now. Until I have the time to design the look I want, it’s just white with my header. It’s kind of exciting. It’s located at SassyScrapperDesigns.com. I have my own .com. Amazing, right? Anyway, all my freebies will be posted up there from now on.

I’ve entered a new contest, Stand Up and Scrap. It’s for digital scrapping. It’s completely annonomous, so I can’t show you the LO I just created, but man, the first challenge was, well, a challenge. So I can tell that this won’t be a walk in the park. I’ve already bared my soul…he, he, he.

So wish me luck on another great scrappin’ adventure. This friday I get to enjoy the crop night at work. It’s been so long since I’ve paper scrapped. I don’t know if I remember how. LOL! Come and join us if you’re local! It’s at the Ithaca Michaels!!!

This is me as a cute little thing!  I’ve been revamping old photos.  Got the idea from Jenny.  I’ll have to start scrapping with my Grandfather’s photos too! 

Published! Imagine my surprise and joy when I opened my email yesterday to find that I’m going to be published in Digital Scrapbooking Magazine, their Feb/March 2008 issue. This is such a huge honor and part of my dream. I can’t express how excited, amazed, and humbled I am. Anyway, the LO that will be published is this one of Tarrah.
