Craft Retreat for Autism

So I spent a mini vacation with my mom this past weekend going on a Scrapbooking Retreat for Autism. It was quite fun, though now that I'm back to work, I long to be back crafting. I know it's been about a month since I last blogged, but to be honest, I haven't even done any crafting in a month (gasp!). With moving to a new home (which we are all moved, finally!) and participating in a musical production ("All Shook Up" with Newtown Arts Company), I haven't had much time to be online, let alone craft, sleep, relax, or any of that fun stuff.
Anyways, so here is some of the layouts I did over the weekend. I really cranked them out! I had lots of fun, and got to use the new Page Maps 2 sketches (my mom got the book when she went to CHA...I love Page Maps 1, so it was nice to try out new sketches). Sorry for my photo quality. I got lazy and took these with my camera phone at the crop. Anyways, Enjoy!

I felt so honored at the crop retreat. I had a woman ask if she could scrap lift my birthday double layout (first shown), and I also became the un-official "Photoshop" tutor once one of the ladies near me heard I was a graphic designer. lol
Anyways, I hope you enjoyed them as much as I enjoyed making them. Maybe someday I'll actually get my act together and post more or enter some stuff in publishing contests.
Hugs!

A start of a new time

Sitting at the apartment on Memorial Day, I decided that it was time to start a blog for some reason. I think that I need to post some of my designs, scrapbook layouts, craft ideas, random ramblings, as well as the process of the wedding planning. (Yes, I'm getting married in about 3 months!). Things have gotten crazy since I found out that my job was moving from Doylestown, PA to Levittown, PA. My graphic design job at The Intelligencer newspaper is being moved further south to be with the rest of the "design team." Not only my fiancee and I are getting married in 3 months, but we have to find a new apartment closer to both our jobs and figure out a way to manage the new drive. We both are involved in King of Prussia Player's production of "Joseph and the Amazing Techincolor Dreamcoat" so that is another worry, is how we are going to make it to practices on time with the new distance of the new office I'm working at. Ahh!

So I got the great idea to try and breath through it all by starting this blog. Also, I've been adoring many graphic designer and card making/scrapbook artists' blogs.

Enjoy  and help me get through it all!
