It's been a bad week at work ...

I'm having a bad week at work. Sigh! I just love quality/manufacturing issues and the insanity in which we have to deal with them. It's caused me a lot of frustration to deal with things so I have been scrapbooking like a demon to rid myself of all that negativity... Sometimes, it just crops back into my pages as sarcasm though.

Case in point: this page from last night. The pictures are really cute and Annde loved this gift. So, I wanted to scrapbook it. You see, Uncle Kevin gave Annde a 7-piece band set for her birthday, with a harmonica, castanets, tamborine, and all the other fun things that kids love to use to make noise (note, I didn't say music... I said noise). She absolutely loves it and continues to play with it every time she 'finds' it on the shelf. I had to do a page about it to remind myself later when Uncle Kevin has kids to get him back... Who said that scrapbooking is just preserving memories without a purpose! I love how it came out and Annde loves the gift. Isn't that all that matters?

I grabbed a sketch - this time from Scrapdango's Carrie - and created this page:

I used that great Scenic Route Liberty collection that I love so much. This is the 5th page I have done from it and still have some left over! I love how the page doesn't look exactly like the others ones (see my Pink Sketch for week 4, for example)... And, just because I love a challenge, and Carrie challenged us to make a card using the same sketch and materials, I made this birthday card...

I also had some product left over from my DT kit and decided to do this page about Parent Points - that's what Steve and I call our reminds about our parenting abilities. The thought behind parent points is to remind ourselves of the good when we encounter the bad. This page was done after Annde went to the dentist and was diagnosed with cavities...

I am very much looking forward to the weekend and hope your week is going better than mine... Enjoy!!
