Challenge #5 results, Challenge #6, and some blog info

I really need to get my act together and start working on these challenges before Saturday night! So my goal for this next week...since it is going to be a very busy week....is to start working on my page tomorrow!

Challenge #5 was

Include your journaling within your title

I did what I said I was going to do and I went back and used my older photos. It was hard...but I did it! Here is my finished page

I am definitely loving the simplicity of the pages I have been working on lately. My goal this year is to save money....which means I'm trying to not buy a TON of new stuff....some here and there though won't hurt...especially the new Dear Lizzy line from American Crafts. I can't wait to get my hands on that stuff. So until then I'm trying really hard to use up some of my stash....and I have lots to use.

Challenge #6 is as follows

Play around with circles

I'm excited....I have some thoughts. Just need to pick out some pictures.

Ok so a lot of changes will be coming to the blog. Right now the first major change is a new blog address. The new address with take effect on Wednesday, February 17. The new address is....

http://thepetitepearl.blogspot.com

It is a name I came up with quite some time ago and have always wanted to do something with it. So after Wednesday... http://themefferds.blogspot.com will not exist. EVERYTHING from this blog will be transferred over. After that I will be giving the blog another makeover. I have lots of changes in store. Hopefully some that will make it a little easier to navigate around. You may have noticed some changes already in that aspect. So please please please bookmark the new address so you are not lost after Wednesday. If you type in this address after Wednesday...it should link you over for a short period of time, but I'm not sure how long. So be sure and use the new name.

Also, the blog will be public again. I just had to make some changes before I did that...they are done....so you won't have to log in anymore to either of my blogs. I know it is a short step to do...but nonetheless it is annoying, so I'm sorry, but thanks for hanging in there. Please be sure and pass the new name on to all of your friends!

Our life....365 days a year

Last year I came across an idea to take a picture a day for 365. I honestly can't remember where I saw it...there are so many people doing it now. But of course it was in March or April when I saw it so I thought it was kinda pointless to start then. I put it on my to do list for 2010. Well the clock struck midnight the other night and I started clicking away on my camera.

I have had my scrapbook layout for these pictures all planned out for awhile now. I also thought it would be something fun to share with everyone, but I wasn't quite sure how to go about doing that. I didn't really want to take up a post on my blog with my "picture of the day" so....what to do?

I was going through my blog roll to see if I could find a solution to my problem and I clicked on to Talia's blog. She is also doing the 365 pictures. She decided to start a new blog just for the pictures....duh, why didn't I think of that?

Sometimes you just need someone else to flip that switch for you.

So the work has begun on my new blog! Just what I needed...one more project, right? There will be a link to the new blog on my sidebar in case you decide to check it out. Don't expect anything to fancy! I just think it is such a great way to capture those everyday moments that we always just let pass us by. I know I will have fun looking back on all those pictures someday!

It isn't too late to start your picture of the day! It only takes a minute!

I have a little bit bigger announcement that will be coming soon as well!

WHEW........

Well what do you think of the NEW blog???? I'm so excited about it!!!! It has a lot more options for me to post different things and share more with everyone! I want to thank Vanessa @ Butterfly Sparks for all of her help with the design! It was a long process, but the end result is well worth it!

I have been working on A LOT of projects and pages to post so.....why not start right now! This is a page I just finished working on for Khloe. I am SOOO far behind with her book it is unreal! I don't know why I waited so long to start her book. She is almost 2 and I think it would have been easier to start when she was a baby and slept more!

It has been so much fun to bring out my creative side again! It has definitely been too long!
