Scrapbook Crazy




I have been really into scrapbooking lately, and so for Christmas my wonderful sister-in-law, Kerstin, got me some awesome scrapbook stuff. Over the past couple of days I have been going scrapbook crazy, and I thought that I should share some of my pages. I know that my pages are more simple than most, but hey, I am new to scrapbooking. However, as I do it more I hope that I will just get better and better!! Oh, and if anyone has any good ideas, or good scrapbook websites to visit, I would love the input!

Our trip to Sausalito





Ben had a half day on Tuesday, and has been wanting to take me to this place where him and his friend Seth go mountain bike riding. He kept telling me how beautiful it was, and when we got up to the top of the mountain I had to agree, it was absolutely AMAZING!! It was such a nice day too, which was great for us, but not so good for the hang glider who was all set to take off but the winds were not agreeing, so he had to pack up for the day. After the beautiful views of the mountain we decided to go to the beach which again did not disappoint!! It was so nice and the water felt good on my feet. All around it was a great trip, and I can not wait to go back!

My friend Diana gave me this idea to cover my ugly power box with this cute picture board. So I went to the craft store and got all of the material, and about an hour later I have created what I consider to be a super cute art piece. It was super simple to make, but I think that it looks so good, and it is a lot better to look at then that ugly power box!! Now, I just need pictures to put on the board, so please feel free to send pictures my way, and I will be sure to display them!!

I would like everyone to meet the newest member of the Ellsworth family, and Ben's pride and joy..... Bubba, the plant! Ben has been feeling for a very long time that something has been missing from our family, and after much thought and consideration he decided to get a plant. We spent an hour at Costco picking out the perfect one, and I believe it is just lovely, and adds a ton to the apartment, and it makes Ben happy so it is a win win! I have never owned a plant, so it will be a new experience, I hope it does not die!!
