F is for - 4 the Record

***Spoiler ALERT*** Anyone in the Scrapaholics who doesn't want to ruin the surprise, this is my circle journal for the year!

I am playing along with Jenny's Alphabe-Thursday and if you want to play along, or just view other participant's posts, click on the link on my sidebar! There are prizes as well as FUN!

I've known most of the Scrapaholics for a few years now so circle journal entries by them are a cool way to get to know each other better!

This is my title page:

(Yes, those are keys from my old laptop - I took it apart and kept them for scrapbooking LOL)

My page:
I can't take credit for the look of the trees.  I got this idea from the Jillibean Soup blog!  I looooove Jillibean Soup and can't wait for the new lines!!!  I used every tree on only one sheet of paper to create all the pages for this journal!

Tell me four things about yourself!

Wow, this journal is awesome! The trees and owls and then the color background you used is a fantastic look!

Four things...hmmmm...

I'm addicted to chocolate.
I hate when I don't get something right the first time.
I wish I went roller skating more.
I'm still surprised when I realize I'm in my 30s.

Jocelyn said...

4 things about me

BananaStamper said...

Ok, you rock girl - love those keys and the cute owlies!
Four things:
1) I love my job, in fact I'm passionate about it most days - I work with blind children
2) I hate coffee - can't drink it, but love ICE caps from Tim Horton's - made with cream - go big or go home!
3) We try our best to be a "green" family - we compost religiously when temps are above zero, use stainless steel water bottles, reuse shopping bags, recycle/reuse as many things as possible, etc. I love that my boys are learning about how to be kind to our earth
4) I love to bake when I'm in the mood, but could care less about cooking - too bad we couldn't live on baked goods!

Cheers,
Shanna :)

Love the trees! and the concept

four things from my bucket list:
1) travel to Petra in Jordan (remember the city carved of rock in Indiana Jones 3?)
2)visit the Smithsonian and the library in Washington DC
3)perform stand up comedy at Yuk Yuks (or any location brave enough to take me)
4)Follow the path my ancestors took from Scotland (in the 1800's), through America (4 different states)and Canada to eventually arrive in Victoria,BC...and at the same time compile my genealogy and distribute it to my family
BTW I have 32 more items on my bucket list -it was hard to pick 4

I love your circle journal. The trees are awesome and I am always keeping junk I think I can use in scrap booking or crafting. The keyboard keys are great! Humm 4 things:
1. I love spending time with my 6 grand children they keep me young.
2 I love to garden.
3 I enjoy a lot of different crafting such as scrap booking, sewing, decorative painting, crochet and I am always up to trying something new.

You must be the coolest person ever to save those letters off your key board! Beth

Jacque said...

Good Morning Carrie,

I have tinkered with the idea of scrapbooking but find that I can't even keep up with my blog!

1. REmodeling a century old farmhouse
2. REpurposing and REcycling every piece of original structure with REspect to original builder
3. REtracing and REcording the history of this homestead
4. REmembering that God's GRACE is sufficient to supply all my needs according to HIS riches in glory

I am also a 14 year Cancer Survivor and have a stent in my heart. I've found that the greatest lessons in life can be learned through experience. The mountain top views are worth the walk thru the valley!

I am sad that LOST is in its final season and I have watched every SURVIVOR series, so far!

I know, that was more than "F"our-4

Thanks for stopping by the farmhouse for a visit today. We love having company.

My name is PJ. said...

You're talented!!!!! Wowwwww!

I'm not artsy.
I'm not crafty.
I don't make stuff.
I buy it.

the end.... ;)

I guess you pass the book around and different people do a page? I know nothing about scrapbooking, but I'm assuming there's some kind of online group. Your pages look very nice.

1. I always wanted to ski, but now I'm probably too old to learn. I'd end up with a broken hip.

2. I wish I lived on the east coast closer to where I grew up.

3. I'd love to go back to Sicily where we lived 40 years ago.

4. I wish I was more organized.

Brenna said...

Can't wait to work on this, it's so cute!

Mo said...

now you are just too stinkin crafty for using those computer keyboard keys! what a concept! earlier...the kids were jumping up and down on 2 old keyboards tucked behind the computer table and i was thinking...great, more junk i have to get rid of! now i don't feel so bad (about throwing them out) cuz i'll be popping keys off of em to recycle!

Kathy said...
