Stormie's Life

Not too much going on here today. We are off to Walmart in a little while & I need to get 2 weeks of food shopping done. Hopefully it will not take too long because I have a very detailed list all ready to go. I am very anal with my shopping lists & divide it into sections starting with the 1st part of the store & ending with the back of the store. I also put my estimated price next to each item listed & then I will write down the actual price once I pick it up. That way I will know what the price is for future reference. I mainly do this because I try to get all the food bought for under $200 and the lower the price the better. Kind of a pain to go around the store with a calculator every time but it helps me curb any extra spending & helps me really budget things out.

One of my goals for scrapbooking is to vary my pages because they all seem to end up looking pretty much the same. I have a habit of sticking to the same style & I want to change things up a little bit. To start off I decided to scrap something that is not normal for me; ie not use family pictures. One of the tips I have received is to try & scrap the normal happenings in my life. I had a hard time coming up with a topic but finally settled on my hatred of dishes, lol

In the page below you will notice the sink is FULL of dishes. I do need to explain something before you all think I am a big slob. I will be honest & admit that I did let them pile up for a few days but there was more than normal because I cleaned out the kids rooms the day before & found a LOT of missing dishes hidden in their messes.

I hope you like the page & if you like the papers & elements I used you can find where to get them listed in the credits below. It is truly an awesome kit & I had a lot of fun using it.
