Challenge Blogs

I’ve been asked by a few scrapping friends if I know of any sites that give out challenges or prompts for scrapping… so I decided to compile the list I have. It’s on the sidebar to the left. If you know of any more scrapbooking challenge blogs or websites, please let a comment and I’ll add it in. Have fun scrapping!!

Hike on Mount Pilatus

The most demanding work day of my life.

I had many days in my work life where I just want to call it quits but none can match yesterday. First, I had to reach work at seven which isn’t that bad. Then we hopped onto a bus and endured 2 1/2 hours of peak hour traffic to arrive at Luzern. I was informed that it’s going to be just a hike, like a walk in the park. Having served my basic military training and gone through the 24 km road march with full SBO and helmet, I thought that it is going to be easy. But five minutes into the hike, I was huffing and puffing and already thinking of just waiting in the car. Anyway, I don’t know how I made it but I did it. 2132 metres, 7000 ft above sea level – to the top of Mount Pilatus.

Hmmm… looks easy so far right???

WRONG… that was what WE THOUGHT!!!

By this time, we were just GLAD to make it!!

More pictures here.

p/s: Joey, Brenda and Terence, you better start getting into shape because we are going “hiking” when you come.

I did this while the kids were at school this morning for Pencil Lines. It was one of those layouts that didn’t come very easily. I used my new Cosmo Cricket Hello Sunshine papers which just arrived 2 days ago. The photos were taken last weekend when we visited a small zoo in Frauenfeld.

LM Gallery Pick

I’m honored to have been one of 3 layouts picked for Gallery Pick of the Week over at Lifetime Moments.

Just a note of thanks to my new friend, AnnaMarie, who told me about this by email this morning. And, YES, don’t you think we have such similar names??!? I got to meet her at the GotSketch class and we hit it off  immediately. She’s just the sweetest gal ever and I LOVE her!! I’ll be talking more about her from now on, you can be sure. She’s an awesome scrapper and she was also one of the 3 picked for the Gallery Pick too!! How cool is that!! Be sure to check out her blog, you can see here awesome layouts and say ‘hi’.
