Scrappy Sunday: The Beginning of Motherhood

Welcome to Scrappy Sunday! (Actually, my husband just gave me a cute idea: "Scrapperday". I might do this on Saturdays.)

Confession: I am a Scrapaholic! I love, love, love to scrapbook! I just can't get enough of it! Plus, it's easy when you're a mom who loves taking pictures of your kids attempting to preserve every waking moment. I just wanted to share a few of the pages I have done this past year for my daughter's 1st year scrapbook. I already showed you a little preview here of a page I did.

Keep in mind that I was only a beginner when I did some of these, so they may not be as crafty as they should be. But, nonetheless, the memories of the early days as a new mom are well preserved.

Foodie Friday: LINKY PARTY!!


Recipe of the Day: Spinach Pizza

Ingredients:
1 frozen cheese pizza
2 cups frozen chopped spinach (thawed)
1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese

Preheat oven to 400 F (or according to package directions). Place spinach on top of frozen pizza. Then sprinkle cheese to cover the pizza. Cook in oven for about 20 minutes. Enjoy!

Clearly, I am not a good cook. Especially when I am taking some frozen products and calling it a "meal". (Although being a busy mom, sometimes there's just not enough time to create a meal from scratch. A mom's gotta do what a mom's gotta do!) So I would love to hear all of your tasty recipes that I know you are just dying to share!

Okay ladies! It's time to party! This is a first here at Frame Fanatic. I am going to try using this cool Linky thingy, and I desperately need your help. I would love to see how many of you would participate in this. And please, tell your friends to join in! The more the yummier!

Today's linky party is going to be about linking up your favorite RECIPES. I know you all have 'em, so let's here what's cooking in your kitchen!

(Show the love. If you link up, be sure to visit other links and leave a friendly comment. Why? Because it might just make someone's day!)



10 Followers and counting!


I am so EXCITED! I finally have 10 followers so far! You have no idea how much this has made my day! After starting up this blog in February, I had no idea what amazing things I was in for. And I certainly didn't think that I was at all worth following. But you girls have lifted me up and given me some "blogging confidence". So I wanted to say to all my devote followers a gracious THANK YOU. I can only hope I can inspire you and at least give you something interesting to read about. :0)

I heart my followers!

[Wacky Wednesday]: PattieWack Jewelry Shelves


I am totally loving this DIY shelving idea! Pattie Donham-Wilkinson over at Get Wacky and Crafty with Pattiewack! So crafty, yet still very economical. And, of course, I LOVE the fact that it is in a frame like a shadow box! It really displays all your fine jewelry for everyone to enjoy and still makes it completely accessible for you. I could so use this in my closet, instead of it all being crammed in a jewelry box. This would really let them "breathe".


BONUS!! I also love that it can be used to hold stamps or other useful craft tools. I am going to put this idea in the archives to use in my craft room!

Feeling wacky and crafty? Stop and visit Pattiewack. She's got tons of amazing DIY ideas!
