A Little Case of Nerves

Why do I feel like a kid on the first day of school? Maybe it's because I'm starting a new job next week? I've been one of the approximately 10% of the population who has been laid off. It's been difficult. I've been happy to be at home with the kids, but... I've determined that I'm really, really not cut out to be a full time stay at home home. I have a new respect for those mom's who do it all the time. God bless them. Really. Any one who says they can do it. Just try it. Honestly. I'm thrilled to be going back to work. My DH is like, you aren't going to like it after awhile. I am now going to have a commute to. That's ok. To me, it's peace and quiet time. The new job is going to be more challenging as well. Right now, it's just a 6 month contract. Hopefully it will go permanent after the 6 months. I hope.

Two Artists

Here are my first scrapbook layouts. The first of many, I hope. These kits are from the DigiScrapArtist Site - So you think you can Design contest that was held a few months ago. This kit was from the first week and had an artist theme. I knew that it would be perfect for the pictures I had of Landon and Lauren painting the canvases. The canvases now hang on the landing going up to the second floor. They had such fun doing them and feel like true artists.
