Time to purge | Layouts to share

Hi my friends!

I spent most of the day going through stuff in my scrap room/office (it's an all-purpose room!) and I feel like I made more of a mess than anything! LOL! I had stuff all over the place and it even went out into the hallway. It's still pretty messy, but I just felt like taking the room apart and going through all my stuff and purging. I just have this need to declutter my entire house! And so I started this week and have not even gotten to the other rooms yet... which sucks because all I want to do is finish so I can do some FUN stuff, like edit photos from SPARK and from my vacation and scrapbook!!! (Oh well, hopefully soon!)

Anyway, since I have scrapbooking on my mind, here are a few layouts I made before leaving on vacation last month. I scraplifted these from the July Jenny Bowlin gallery :)

This first one was lots of fun because I got to play with some Maya Road mist and I loved it! These pics are from Lake Tahoe in May.



This was a photo of a rainbow that my hubby shot in our neighborhood.



And these are pics that I took with my iPhone on one of our Sunday walks in Key Biscayne. It was such a lovely day!



So I am thinking I should plan a blog giveaway for October since I am purging my scrappy stuff... and it is, after all, my birthday month!!! Stay tuned!!! Hee!

P.S. I am looking for someone who can help me redesign my blog header/background so if you know of anyone, please leave me a comment! I want something that reflects my style, something with a little vintage flair. Thx :)

Peace and happy scrapping!
Vanessa

Thanks for the advice. I really like your layouts and I'm now following. I can't believe you went to the Spark event. It looks like it would have been fun. =)

My other half is a web guru, he may be able to help you in his spare time :) But it will cost a little $$$ as it's his bread and butter so to speak. But he's good. He's designing something wonderful for me and Emilys workshops. So good!

Hey, so you've been purging! I'll come over and help you. ;-)

Ha! As if I don't need help with all my mess... hehehe... I can totally relate about the chaos of organizing, it usually takes me days to do one room! With Fall here I have to work on the closets, change of weather means change of clothings hanging in there. But when you're done it is worth it! :-)
