"Better Late Than Never"


I have been sadly-pathetically-been working on this gift for my Mom for over a year.
Yes.
I admit this.
I'm a terrible crafter.
I have great ideas.
Just never get around to doing them...
Later, I say.

Then with all these fabulous goodies the Mr. got for me for Christmas...I had to try them!
So, I got a huge "King-Kong size- Creative Bug" and my craft room was busy over the weekend!
I had scissors going, printers running, stamps pads a-stampin'!
It was great!
Paper everywhere.
Pure Bliss :)

My SB Buddies back home would make fun of me.
{not throwing rocks at me-making fun of me}
B/C I could not step away from a layout!
I keep adding.and adding.and adding...
Awful I say.
Not enough Bling I say!

So, this is her Late Birthday gift.from...a year ago.
Sad.
I know.

Yes, if you look close. That is us.
In a parade.
Horseback.
I was waving like I was the princess of the court!
I was waving to.
Noone.
Just waving.
Having a great time :)

The very last page here on the bottom is my favorite.
The End.

Have a wonderful craft filled day!
Let  everything you do,
Be *wonderful*
Just- don't forget the Bling!
*Bling*Bling*Bling*

This is a wonderful heart felt gift! It looks really good. My sister is a scrapbooker as well and I have never been crafty enought to attempt it!

Wow that scrapbook is awesome! I start projects and then put them off forever too. I tend to distract myself with other things.

What a great gift! Could you give me some scrapbooking lessons via the blog world? : ) I did one for my mom's 50th, but haven't finished the pictures from her party yet. Mine looked NOTHING like yours, though. Too cute!
