1st blog post on ScrapTiffany

head on over to ScrapTiffany for my 1st ever blog post for this Wednesday Hijack.  i talk about keeping a gratitude journal.

i think it's so important to remind yourself of what you are grateful for on a daily basis.  write it down...on a piece of scrap paper and stash it away in a nice container, on a sticky note and stick on your computer, your mirror or anywhere you can see it.  you can also blog about it in a private or public blog.... any way is great as long as you have it in writing and you can look back on it and say "so grateful i did this and that."

here's a few sneakz of what's in store at today's ScrapTiffany's Wednesday Hijack (<-----click here!!!):

and a journal i bought a couple of weeks ago from walmart for my future next entries:

don't you think the owl is oh soooo cute!  can hardly wait to start using this. no need to deck out the outside of this one.

what are you grateful for?  today...me...i'm grateful for being on a great design team. 

so go on over to ScrapTiffany and show off the creative side of you on what you're grateful for.  and feel free to leave me a comment and a link...i would love to see what you do!  yey-yah!

everyday, everyday...and something new too

got some more scrappiness time in late yesterday afternoon and last night...here's a few snapshots of my 'everyday album'....

there's actually way more than this but i just chose to post 2 for each day from 5.12.10 thru 5.15.10.  i actually forgot to order prints for 5.18 and realized that the other day...so i ordered them today with a bunch of others from snapfish (i'm a regular customer of theirs, we're like besties!).  i'll be starting on 5.16 soon...7 more days to scrap of everyday stuff that's usually taken for granted.  this album really made me realize that little things that we don't usually think about really matter too.

oh yeah, finally took a shot of my gratitude journal as well...just used scraps, biz cards, parts of menus, and any other memorabilia i get my hands on and said a few words and glued them in..voila!

and yes that's a cup of my yumm-o hazelnut milk coffee...one of my morning rituals.  heehee.

got a new haircut today...it's really really really short!!!!  just joking babez!  but i did chop off a bit. kim, my stylist, who i am gonna miss foreva, has been doing my hair foreva.  got her a bunch of referrals from former co-workers to total strangers i meet in places like target, etc.  i just don't know if i can i have anyone else do my hair for me in cali....i just might have to schedule an appointment everytime i come into town when i drop off my daughter for vacations.  hmmmm....

here's a few silly snapshots of my new do...

i likes it!  heehee!  i miss my inverted bob with my red streaks too!  maybe someday...  if you likey...go to third dimension and ask for kimberlee b. (aka to me as....kim)...

here's kim at her wedding almost 4 years ago... my daughter was one of the cutesy flower girlies...

and another one of my dear friend kim doing my do for my wedding back in october 2009...

i love her...not only is she a goddess when it comes to beauty but she is definitely a great friend.  love you girl!

well i'm about to tear up here...so i think i betta go plus i gotta pick up my baby boo at the bus stop soon.

see you at the next post!  tfl!

ALOHA!

well it's been awhile since i've posted an LO, huh?  (for all you newbies to scrapbooking, LO = layout).  actually it's been awhile since i've actually done one all together.  i didn't get a chance to do one this past weekend.  for one...i was not feeling too great and another i think i just needed to take a lil break and just get some creative mojo inspo by surfin blogs of some of my fave scrappy gals.  i have been addicted to amy tangerine's blog lately.  i really love how she puts her pages together.  they're so carefree and she always seems to make sure she adds lil memorabilia to them, which i totally miss doing.  i have truly learned from her that as long as you record the memory down as you like it and add a few embellies and your own touch, then every page will be your fave page.  she also does these lil mini albums which i am thinking of doing also. i was also inspired by her by getting back into writing and scrapping in my gratitude journal i had made over a year ago:

i'll try to post a few of the pages i've done in this journal soon.

today.....i did get a chance to create an LO.  i have been putting off doing our hawaii honeymoon album for too long.  i've committed to at least scrapping my fave photos before we move to cali.  hoping to have it finished by then.  here's the one i did today:

i used the Inspired Blueprints sketch #48 for this one.  we got a gift certificate from auntie linda to the Top of Waikiki resto, "The revolving restaurant with a view," literally.  we made reservations at 5 p.m., had an appetizer, our meal with coffee. omigooness!  it was yumm-o! you gotta eat there!

here a few of the little tidbitz:

here's one i did about 2 weekends ago, another one for the Hawaii Honeymoon album.  i cut up one of the menus from KoKo Cafe and added it my LO. love adding memorabilia to my pages now.

loving stamps nowadays, especially butterflies.  i created a visual triangle using them on this LO.

i highly recommend brunch at the KoKo Cafe if you are ever around that area.  yumm-o! we had eaten at another brunch place but it was nothing compared to this one.  i think we ate here about twice, or was it 3 times? anyhoo... you gotta eat there too!

i miss Hawaii....aaaahhhh.
