Scrapbook Layouts

Figured I'd share some recent scrapbook pages, still figuring out what I want to do with the redo of my blog so wanted to share some layouts I recently worked on. The weather here has finally warmed up so will probably be scrapping less, unless the weather is crappy on my days off.

 Loved my trip to London and I can't wait to go back. Traveling has always been a love of me and I love discovering new places and going back to favorites

 Gotta be stocked for any blizzard with some favorites

 I judge the snow by how high it is on my leg, being short it's not hard for the snow to be high up on my leg

 Snow drifts up our fence and Kyle snow blowing

Scrapbook Pages

I have been getting a bunch of scrapping done since the weather has been cold. Trying to catch up because once the spring hits I have a bunch of outdoor activities I want to do and we need to do a spring clean up in the garden.

Scrapbook Layouts

Trying to finish all the past winter snow pictures I have and get them in an album

Our favorite local farm, they have the best breakfast sandwiches, baked goods and pot pies

A local shopping center by us has this cute London phone booth

Snow pics from 2 years ago, we've been lucky so far this winter so I might as well get all the past seasons snow pictures scrapped

Scrapbook Pages

Figured I'd start the new year off with some Scrapbook pages, didn't do a lot the end of last year so really want to get caught up now that it's Winter. I'm participating in a scrapbook page a day challenge to help me get more pages done, hope to do over 31 pages this month. Here are some new pages I made

Flowers from my birthday last year, two of my favorites and of course in pink

Snow melting off our deck last spring after a long, snowy winter

My local favorite food so glad I discovered it - The Frenagel - a bagel/doughnut hybrid

I always celebrate the first iced coffee of the season, to me it's the signal that warm weather is finally arriving after a long, cold winter. This one must've been the first nice day we had in March since I had my nails done for St Patrick's Day.

Christmas in NYC

Figured I'd share some Christmas pictures of the city I took when we went to see the tree. I love living close enough to go into the city often. We also tried out a new Restaurant in the city the night of this visit called Bar Bacon. I had the lobster bacon mac and cheese which was amazing along with a beer from Brooklyn Brewery. There's just something magical about all the lights and decorations at Christmas.

Walnut Chocolate Chip Cookies

Chocolate Chip cookies are always my favorite so these were perfect for the Christmas Cookie baskets I made. Walnuts and chocolate chip cookies are such a great combination. Here's the link to the recipe

Red Velvet Spritz

It's my favorite time of year again - Christmas. I love trying new cookie recipes and usually work in batches to make all the cookies I need to deliver. Spritz are always a favorite so when I saw this red velvet version I couldn't wait to try it. I love the touch of peppermint in it and how unique they are compared to the spritz you're used to. Here's the link to the recipe

Scrapbook Pages

I know I haven't posted in awhile, work has been crazy and I'm coming up with ideas to redo the blog a little for next year. Also thinking of restarting my etsy shop up in the new year so thinking of products to make for the relaunch. Wanted to share some recent layouts I made.
