Didn't win :o(

I didn't win this week. boohoo! I guess I'll get over it eventually..........Ok, I'm over it. I haven't seen the page that won yet because whoever is taking the pics and posting on the store blog forgot their camera today.
Speaking of cameras and pictures, I didn't get the pic I needed today...so happy news still to come....maybe tomorrow.

Round 2

Here are the pages I submitted today/yesterday (Tuesday) for the final round of Scrapbooking Olympics...




Turning these in turned out to be a bit wild and crazy. While in the store about to check out we hear screaching tires a couple bangs and then a LOUD metal crunching bang....and then the power went out. I threw my purse back onto the cart with mom and took off running out the door. Just a short ways past the small shopping center was a truck smashed head-on into a power pole. Me...being all new grady nurse like 'n stuff...ran up there to help out. There was already a guy on scene who apparently was an off-duty fireman who was trying to stabalize the guy's neck in case of spinal injury. The guy was conscious and breathing and could move his arms and legs so I felt pretty useless at this point. Once the on-duty firemen arrived I was more than ready to step back. And my thanks for trying to be a good sam...hacking up a lung and nearly puking my brains out on the side of the road....all thanks to the ever wonderful airbag powder that I inhaled while trying to help keep the guy stable and calm.
More exciting news to follow...when I remember to take a picture I need. :o)

I WON!! I WON!!

I totally can't believe it!! One of my pages ("Cousins") won the Scrapbooks Olympics for this week! I'm totally stoked!!!! Other than my 2 other entries, there were some other really cute pages submitted so that makes me feel so much happier too. So often I feel like some of my pages look like crap, it's nice to create something so cute and have total strangers recognize your work!! GO ME, GO ME! lol

Now I need to get back to creating for the next round!! I'll probably post them next week before I turn them in.

Peace out for now!

Scrapbooking Olympics

So, the scrapbook store I frequent (too frequently), Scrapbooks Etc., has been doing a scrapbook page contest this month they've titled The Scrapbook Olympics. After seeing the pages that were submitted/won the first 2 weeks...I decided mine certainly couldn't be any worse and so I decided to join in. Today I submitted 3 pages for this week's contest. The winner will be announced/notified tomorrow and gets a $25 SE giftcard. Here are the pages I submitted...



They look SOO much cuter in person! I've already completed 1 page for next week's contest and will hopefully get a few more done.

P.S. Leslie if you're reading this...I've been meaning to ask you for some pictures you took of Layna in her baptism dress. I may have you add them to my Walmart Photo account so I can size and print. :o)
