How I Became Shared Jelly

When my husband and I first got married we used to get messages on our answering machine for "Shared" and "Jelly" instead of Jared and Shelly. The first time we chuckled a little over it and by the fourth or fifth time, we decided the name should stick somewhere. And so, I've been sharing jelly all over the internet since. Enjoy!

Blah Week

If only life were so simple! I could use a little "fresh up."

Instead of starting this new year with a bang, I've been hit with a very blah week.  It's been full of sick kids, doctor's appointments, church obligations and not a lot of craft time. I even have some cute new fabric waiting to be transformed into something wonderful. But, alas, it must wait.

I have been working a little on catching up on my kids' scrapbooks.  I have my scrapbooks for me and I have one scrapbook for each of the kids. Inside, I do one page a year of my favorite snapshots of them from that year.  That way, when they grow up and move out of the house, they will have their own scrapbook of baby pictures and kid pictures to keep with them.  I include a brief summary of how big they are and what kinds of things they like at each age.  Great idea, right?  The only problem is I have missed the last 3 years, so I'm playing a bit of catch up.

Hopefully I'll have some fun posts coming soon.
