living life twice in des moines

saturday i went to des moines to meet up with some awesome scrappers. it was great to see Brandy and Jen again, and i got to meet Tonya, Jen Renee, and Erin. we put our tables together and even though we didn't win a table prize, we had a great time scrapping the day (and night) away.

i also got to see Becca for a visit to Archiver's and the Cheesecake Factory. i had a little slice of heaven called pumpkin pecan and Becca had the 30th anniversary special. delicious, although i'm surprised i didn't lapse into a sugar coma. must have been the pecans that saved me:)

here's one of the pages i made. it's about my dd, who recently learned about panty hose.DSC_0034

this page doesn't have a title. Jen and Erin assured me it didn't have to have one. thanks, ladies! it's always nice to have another opinion or two.

the edge distresser from CTMH was the best find of the day. i highly recommend it.

you might think that after 15 hours of scrapping i wouldn't scrap for awhile. well, you would be wrong! last night i had fun making some cards.

a fun one with stickles and watercolors:

a stitched one for a challenge at scrap your crap:
