Snow Day!

Since the onset of this blizzard weather we are having, and the many unofficial "snow days" we have had this winter..... I've had a chance to spend a lot of time indoors and what better room to spend it in than my scrapbooking room.  So this week I wanted to share my scrapbooking space with you.  I am so fortunate to have two complete rooms to myself; one for scrapbooking and one for sewing.  Sometimes I feel that I need more room to create, but if I would just start using the product that I have stashed away instead of buying new, I wouldn’t need such a huge space.  When I yearn for a larger space I usually start thinking about the gals who create out of a space the size of my closet and then I feel very grateful.  I love my scrap space and my favorite time is when I can spend the day in my room, listening to my favorite tunes on my iPod and creating....

Til next time, Enjoy!

Punch Bug!

Remember when we were kids and we would be in the car or walking down the street with a friend and for no apparent reason he/she punches you in the arm and says "Green Punch Buggy”? You were playing the Punch Buggy game.….

The rules are simple; whenever you see a Volkswagen Beetle, as quickly as you can, turn to the person nearest you, punch their upper arm and say the color of the car, followed by "Punch Buggy". Remember to say "no punch-backs". If you don't, someone else can punch on the same car, a situation to avoid. This game has been around for as long as I can remember and it is still around today played at all ages as was evident to me when I was sitting in the Tim Horton’s drive-thru a few weeks ago and a group of kids from the high school across the street started punching each other and screaming “Green Punch Buggy” when they saw my car. The rules vary from region to region and sometimes the words “Punch Bug” are used and you accumulate points, a VW Bug convertible or van gets you double the points…. Whatever rules your family uses they will most definitely be passed down from generation to generation.

For the challenge this week at Let’s Scrap I decided to do a layout about my very own “Punch Bug”.

Til next time… Enjoy!
