Stationery News and 20% off!

Yikes... I haven't been updating on my blog in so long that Blogger has the "Follow" link up again and I didn't even know it! It's not that I haven't been crafty, but I just haven't had the time to photograph and post my projects. It's been crazy around here...
My step mother-in-law has been battling lung cancer since Thanksgiving and she has been in and out of the hospital since then. We've had Christmas, I redid my foyer, celebrated Elan's 5th birthday, took Elan to the hospital and got his first set of stitches (6!). I planned and hosted a Valentine's brunch for school moms, and I have revamped and updated my stationery website- which took forever. So, I have been busy.
I took some photos of my latest projects and even some Valentine's, but will have to upload those tomorrow. ;)
I did want to share with you all my stationery website. Paper Doll Stationery is my business that I run out of my studio in my home. I am a "one man band" so to speak and have had the business since 2003.

New Layouts Complete!

Yesterday was a day well spent crafting and completing layouts that have been staring at me for about a year! I went scrapping by myself and once I got there, I met a table full of super nice girls that were really fun. I actually got quite a bit done...

I used my homemade bird in this layout and I love how it looks!

Christmas 2007:

Then, I made another bird, which Anna has claimed as hers, but she wants to add more jewels:

I have been wanting to start a scrapbook about Stephen and I. The stuff we like, what we do, our daily grind, etc. I want the kids to have memories of us like I am making for them in their books. So, I have started setting the self-timer on my camera and photographing myself (in the car, at my desk, in the kitchen, etc.). I admit that I feel really goofy taking pictures of myself, but I keep reminding myself that I am always the picture taker, so there aren't any pictures of me! While out scrapping last night, this is what I picked up for my own pages:

I might share some of this stuff with Anna...

I definitely have my work cut out for me now, with all these new goodies and a plan to scrap myself and Stephen. It might be refreshing to scrap something other than my kids!
Hope this post was inspiring to you and I wish you a creative day!
