Onward

Christopher was much better behaved last night. I actually managed to get some things accomplished in his room. The furniture is arranged in a much better way, allowing the space to be better utilized. There's still a lot of organization to do but for once it looks closer to the way I imagined it to be. Onward we go!

Defiant child

There's nothing better to derail everything in life than a defiant child. Christopher is going through another one of his phases of defiance and ridiculous behavior. He makes me nuts. This time his behavior is also occurring at daycare. He wasn't there an hour before Daddy got a call about his behavior. We're banging our heads trying to come up with a discipline that will correct this behavior.

The joys of parenting!

Artistic endeavors

I'm giving a great big shout out to Jodi from Scrap 'N Chat. She has been hosting a Scrap Around the World challenge each month. This month's country is England and the challenge is to create a Victorian inspired layout. At first I had no clue what I was going to do. I started a web search regarding Victorian Scrap. The inspiration I have found totally has my creative juices flowing. I have so many thoughts twirling through my head that I find myself having many of what my friend calls "oooo Shiny!" moments. LOL!
As I've gallivanted around the web I've stumbled across the Twisted Papers website. The website offers high quality Victorian ephemera downloads at a low cost. Of course, I couldn't help myself and downloaded a few. I've manipulated them and added different effects in PSE. They're printed and just awaiting some distressing and inking goodness.
Thanks to the Mouse Paper Scissors class at Jessica Sprague I finally am comfortable hybrid scrapping. Up to this point everything has pretty much been either straight up digital or paper but not really any true hybrid creations. I was a little sad when the class was coming to a close. Sadness reigns no more as they are now offering Mouse Paper Scissors:Mom. Guess who signed up already. Now I just have to wait for class to begin on April 18th.
