*engaged*




Haven't really scrapbooked many engagement pictures (besides the ones in PL) but finally got around to doing the first page! Love this photo - what an incredible night!

Guess what arrived today? My washi tape! :)



Oli and I will be crafting the rest of the afternoon...

Sunday Randoms

Just a usual lazy Sunday at my house...



Kitties are sleeping on top of my stamp cabinet, being super cute. And I just went on a washi tape binge. Discovered Freckled Fawn is an amazing site to buy paper tape. (Elisa Blaha is offering a 15% discount through 4/30 with code "enJOYit" - couldn't pass that up!) 




Happy Sunday!

PL: March 29, 30, & 31

It took me a while but I finally finished the month of March. Some big stuff happened at the end of March and it took some time to get organized! 



I used these page protectors so all my randoms had a home. I saved many bits & pieces from throughout the trip. (I'm sure there are many scrapbookers that relate to this concept.)



There's the back side. 



Like I said, A LOT happened when we were in Vegas. Front row for Garth Brooks? A total surprise proposal from Mark? So, that's why this page is so text heavy (and the next...)



I thought the Good Luck Ritual was very fitting as I embark on a new journey.

A note from Ms. E. Rabbit


You're never too old for an Easter basket, right? I have the best mom ever. Hope you are enjoying the weekend!

Best Buds

Being on vacation was incredible but it feels so good to be home. And I missed Clem & Oli so much. Here's a little something I was working on prior to Vegas...





I'm really liking grey & yellow right now.

On another note, I'm feeling a little panicky about everything I need to scrapbook. So much has happened in such a short amount of time and nothing is documented! It's actually pretty ridiculous that I get stressed about scrapbooking - it's my hobby, what I enjoy...why is it stressing me out? Can anyone else relate to this? 

So, acting upon these frantic feelings, I started making this mini-album right away...




I don't usually like making mini-albums but this kit has been collecting dust for awhile now so, I decided to use it. In the beginning, I was really liking the album but as I continued, I grew less and less fond of it. I wasn't being creative, rather just going through the motions. Pretty soon I was just working to get it done which just isn't me. I'm someone who loves the process, enjoys arranging and rearranging but I just found myself hurrying and getting frustrated. So...I put it away. I cleaned my table and set the project aside for another day. Maybe someday (when these frenzied feelings subside) I'll work on it again.

Project Life: March

Because of my trip to Vegas, I'm a tad behind on scrapbooking. But here's my March Project Life (minus the 29th, 30th, and 31st - A LOT has been going on!). In case you missed it, here's January and February. Still love, love, love this project.










Like I said, it's been an eventful past 5 days. When we were in Vegas, Mark proposed! I couldn't be happier! More details on that later. I have so much scrapbooking to do...
