New Dirty Scraps Challenge is up...

The new Dirty Scraps challenge is up!!!

Challenge #8: COMPASSION!

There is definitely a lack of compassion in this world that is full of judgment. So this challenge is all about compassion, maybe it will give someone else perspective on having compassion and less judgment, maybe it will make you think twice next time? So scrap a page about yourself, and something you "wish" people would stop judging you about and have compassion for you.
Not feel sorry, not pity you, but have some compassion because they don't know the whole story. Let's spread the love and get some insight on life :)
Now go get dirty!

Team Dirty did an amazing job! Come on over and check it out. There's a great prize for one lucky winner :)

Hugs, Marlene

A few things to share...

Hello :) I haven't posted in awhile and yet again I'm wondering where the time has gone LOL I've been back to work now for two weeks since my surgery and I'm feeling great and back to normal.

My Easter was very nice. The day before we spent the day at my sister's house. Gianni and Maxwell had a blast coloring eggs and making bunny sugar cookies. Easter Sunday we had dinner with my parents and my aunt at Killmeyers, our local german restuarant. It was delicious, especially the German Chocolate Cake!

This is our sunroom, my parents recently got a new tile floor installed. I think it looks so beautiful and I really have to make some time to get out there, grab a nice cool drink and read a book.

This past Wednesday was Professional Administative Assistant's Day. My three awesome bosses gave me and my girlfriend that I co-work with the most beautiful orchid plant. It's simply stunning! Now I just have to keep it alive and not kill it.

Now for some scrappy stuff that I've worked on recently.

Maxwell is so into WWE wrestling and now I am also LOL

I love his face in this picture!

This is a mini book I made with my Bind-it-All with index cards inside. I'm using it to keep track of my postal items and swaps/challenges/dt stuff.

These are some coffee tags that I made for a tag swap over at scrapbook.com

My layout for P12 March 2010

I will be very busy this weekend getting ready for my upcoming craft sale at my local flea market. I'm super excited!!! I've never sold any of my items and I'm hoping that it goes well. I'm making cards, mini albums, altered photo frames, earrings and other items. I will take some pictures and share very soon.

I've also set-up my own Etsy store! So far it's empty and I'm going to see how my sale goes before I put items up for sale.

Hope you all have a great weekend. Have fun and enjoy!

Hugs, Marlene

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter everyone!!!

It's been awhile since I posted. This past Tuesday I had gall bladder surgery. Everything went well and I'm feeling so much better. I'm so thankful today to God for getting me thru so much and so thankful to my family for all their help.

Today is a wonderful day to remember the sacrifice that Jesus made for us and to glory in His resurrection!

God bless you all, have a wonderful day!
