Another swap mini album...


'Sup, ladies? I've been really lazy about posting, I know. I have, however, been walking 3 times a week so I know that you'll all forgive me. There's only so many hours in a day and I've chosen to use some of these hours to get myself healthy. Huzzah for me!!!
I had an eye opening moment with my oldest son, Logan a few days again. We were in the tub together (he loves baths with his mama) and he put his hand on my belly. He thought it was funny that it was so jiggly. He said, "Maman, your belly is so jello-y. Is it because you eat too much stuff?" (paraphrased from French, mind you)
It really took me aback. I just said, "Ya, Logan. But Maman is going to do something about it, ok?" Now, I wasn't going to get into it with a 4 year old about how two pregnancies can change a womans body because the reality is, it's not just my belly that is jello-y. LOL! My Stamper's Butt has taken on a life of it's own and I'm trying my darnedest to reign it back in. I dream of a day that it will not take a mere 4 cups of water to fill up the tub when Logan and I are in it. ;)
So, my friends, my posts will be erratic. Well...even more so than...ummm...they already...ahem...are.
On to the project!!! This mini album was inspired by a class that I took on a scrapbooking weekend in April. Lyne Lebel gave the class and is an AMAZING scrapbooker! I also made this album from a more complex version of the idea. I altered it quite a bit for the swap but the idea is still there. I especially like that it closes with a magnet. Magnets are gooood, right Amy? LOL!
Oh, and on a side note, for anyone that reads my blog that may be having a hard time with the new IDA that SU! requires us to sign, have a look at my friend Janine Tinklenbergs blog post about it. Very clear, concise and HILARIOUS!! Tomato cages......SO funny. Ske-doosh.

So what did you finally do with those magnets, did you risk security or did you have them shipped to you instead?

Have you read Jaron Winder's post about a similar comment his daughter has made to him? ( See here: http://jaronsjunkdrawer.blogspot.com/2009/06/sophie-says_30.html) Kids don't sugar-coat it, do they? hahaha!
