Although I did go to bed before midnight on Tuesday :) But I am starting to feel the consequences of not enough sleep. Brings me back to the days when Erin and Evan were just babies.
I'm not totally sure why I can't get myself to bed at a decent hour when Mike is gone. But I think that I really need to make more of an effort. Definitely before midnight, right?
Anyway, now that it has been on the stands for a while, I want to share the two layouts I had published in the June 2012 issue of Scrapbook Etc. magazine. These are the last that I will have in this particular magazine now that they will no longer be in business. Another great scrap mag gone :(
I have actually never shared this first layout on my blog.
*ETA - I am linking up my "She's a Toddler" layout over at Paper Issues for their current "Sew Cute, You Keep Me in Stitches" issue. :)
I did share this second layout on my blog sometime last year.
Hope you all have a fabulous weekend and I will *see* you on Monday :)
I remember geting this issue in the mail, seeing your layouts and thinking "hey! I know her!" So fun :) congrats on your pub. I can totally relate to the staying up late problem. My hubs works the third shift 4 days a week and I can't seem to get into bed at a decent hour those nights either.
ReplyDeletecongrats on your pub!!!
ReplyDeletei am an early morning scrapper! i never stay up late - LOL!!
Congrats on your pubs, Mary Jo! They looked fantastic in the mag. It's nice to see familiar names when I look through. :) I stay up late when I'm home alone too. Not sure why either.
ReplyDeletehaha, if my hubby was working late, I would totally would be scrapping!
ReplyDeleteThe quote made me LOL. So true! Love your layouts. Congrats on the pubs. I love seeing my friends in print! I had a project picked up for the October SBE and was paid for it the same week they announced they were ceasing publication.....Now I am thinking it won't be pubbed. Not unless they squeeze it into the August issue. RIP SBE. I will miss them.
ReplyDeleteSo awesome!!! I saw these both! Way to go.
ReplyDeleteI always end up going to bed late when my husband is gone, too! I can't sleep well without him, so I stay up until I'm just dead tired! Your layout is great!
ReplyDeleteAww, those layouts are cute! I can be a night owl as well, but if hubby's not home I go to bed earlier than usual. I guess that I want to use the sleep to make time go faster until he returns. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat layouts, I love the retro feel of the second one.
ReplyDeleteI have exactly the same problem with sleep right now, my baby wakes up so early (around 5am some days) but I still can't make myself go to bed before 11.30pm - I need my evenings for scrapping and blogging! x
Cute layouts!
ReplyDeleteWhen my husband is gone, I can't sleep either. I think its just my mind saying 'something isn't right!' Its been that way ever since 9/11. He was out of town on business and couldn't get home. I stayed up for three straight days until he was finally able to fly home. Since then, if he isn't here with me, I have a very hard time sleeping.
Staying up late is my guilty pleasure either watching shows and/or scrapping. Can't seem to stop when on a roll. Kills my mornings though. Hope it gets better for you.
ReplyDeleteYou know I loved these layouts when I saw them in scrapbooks, etc...love them!
Congrats on getting them pubbed while they were still in business! I hate to see all these magazines leave the industry! Love Penny
ReplyDeleteI'm a terrible night owl, so I'm no help. LOL
ReplyDeleteLOVE both of these layouts and can see why they were pubbed!!
I'm like Jingle...which is coming up this week with hubby going to Japan for a couple of weeks...sigh.
ReplyDeleteGreat layouts...so sad about SBE...I love that mag!
Wow, reading your post and the other comments helped me to realize that I'm not alone! It's hard for me to sleep when my DH isn't home as well...which is why I'm blog hopping at this hour, lol...Your LOs are great! I really love the one with you and your dad!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by and checking out my cards too! ;D
Great layouts :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats on being published in this magazine :)
