I was tagged...


Each player starts with 7 random facts/habits about themselves. People who are tagged need to write their own blog about their seven things, as well as these rules. At the end of your blog, you need to choose 7 people to get tagged and list their names. *I'm only doing this cause LA begged with a line from Grey's and who can resist that???*

1. I am a neurotic list maker - just love checking things off - sticky notes are my friend
2. In high school I collected pez - my son now plays with them
3. I HATE to cook - I will clean your toilet if you cook my dinner
4. My husband planned our entire wedding and surprised me with when we were leaving. (we got married in the Cayman Islands)
5. Since Byron planned the wedding then I had to plan our first anniversary which began a tradition of taking turns planning and surprising the other. I LOVE IT! So far we have:
1st: I planned white water rafting
2nd: He planned to see STOMP in NYC (we were already there for a wedding)
3rd: I rented a Harley and we drove through the Smokie Mountains in TN
4th: We veered off a bit here; He got a fishing boat and I got to go skydiving again
5th/6th: we shared this one cause we couldn't decide who got to claim it - we went to Hawaii

6. I do not like to eat leftovers unless it's pizza from a restuarant
7. No one reads this blog but LA so I don't need to tag anyone - HA

ABC baby album


So I've seen baby albums done as ABC's before but it usually contains one pic in say 7x7 size and will have words such as Adorable, Bubbly, Cute etc... Someone recently asked me what I thought about doing a whole 12x12 and doing their first year that way. At first I didn't think it would work but once we got to talking about it I think it would actually be incredibly cute. Almost makes me want to have another just so I could try it. HA! SO here is what we were thinking. Now the pics won't be in chronological order but more of a themed order and would require some planning ahead and organization. If I were to do it I would use CM's black photo boxes and have a labeled divider for each letter -so 26 unless you do your alphabet differently than me. So you will choose which word or words for your pages BEFORE you scrap anything. Then as you develop pics choose which letter you will file it under. So my thinking is it may take a bit before you can actually start scrapping some of these pages. Some of us more anal scrappers may not go for that but here is what I was thinking anyway. Some letters I'm still thinking on so if you have suggestions post them. (You could also make these cutie pie words with cutie pics like A - adorable) You could also choose several letters and have a hodge podge of themes on one page if for example you only have one picture for that word. Something else is you could do the ABC pages mixed in with other pages - maybe after C theme then you also have a 2 page spread about the baby's first Christmas. I don' t know... you figure it out... ;) I'm just the idea lady.
