Zest for life! Feb 8, 2009



Made a great dinner tonight that I found on KraftFoods.com. The recipe called for lemon zest. As I found myself standing in the spice isle at the local Kroger.. I thought, "you... idiot..." It dawned on me I've watched enough Food Network to know what to do. So I made my first ever lemon zest and the meal was awesome!

Super Bowl Sunday Treats Jan 31, 2009



So, I have to travel on Sunday during the actual game. Matt's going to a Super Bowl part with some Bats guys... So I made a little treat for him to take with him!

Iced In January 28, 2009





Trying to stay warm January 27, 2009

This was the first night of the big ice storm that came across Kentucky...


I had lots of work to do, so the amazing husband that Matt is, he cooked dinner! Real Italian Pasta and meatballs - yummo! He said, "The sauce isn't done until it's all over the place."

Dinner's ready!

Dixie's missing tail Jan 26, 2009



Umm.. Matt stepped on Dixie's tail today. She wasn't hurt, but she was trying to figure out how that got on Matt and off of her....

Elisa's Cake Day 2 Jan 14, 2009

Elisa's Cake Day 1 Jan 13, 2009



So, I had to travel for work the week before Elisa and Maria were coming down here for Elisa's Bday. She wanted a Sponge Bob party so badly, but couldn't because some parents thing Sponge Bob is "fresh". So, Uncle Matt wanted her to have a Sponge Bob party here! So, he made sure it happened!

Sweet Dreams Jan 9, 2009



Matt got this awesome pillowcase made for his niece Elisa's birthday... she LOVES her Uncle Matt!

First Scrap! Jan 5, 2009



So, this was the first page I actually did with my scrapbooking! Random, yes, but I wanted to get going! What better place to start than the trip to Vegas!

Bowl Mania Jan 3, 2009



What can we say? It was bowl time. I was very very excited about the awesome koozie I found at Target that looked like a football. And that dip?! Yummo! Buffalo chicken, cream cheese, blue cheese and cheddar cheese... shoot me now.

365

So, I subscribe to alot of blogs... alot of blogs about scrapbooking. If I could, I would scrapbook every single day. It's a great way to just let your mind release all the stresses of every day life, let your creative juices flow and make sure the memories of those special times are there forever.

In a lot of those scrappin' blogs I read, it seems that Scrapbook 365 is the thing to do. It's where you take a picture of something you did - or didn't do - that day, every day.

Now, if I didn't travel... or if I had a good printer where I could print my own stuff... I'd do this in a heartbeat.

So instead, I'm taking the easier way for me - do it online.

Let's see if I can keep it up!
