Scrappin' Bliss

Short and sweet and to the point:

I spent the greater part of a weekend at a scrapbooking getaway with my good friend and neighbor, De...and four other gals we hooked up with.

It was, simply put, wonderful....despite the fact we nearly got stuck in mud and killed a battery or a fuse or something in De's car. At least this time, I didn't hit a oppossum. True story.

Now I just gotta figure out how to get the military to reconsider their decision to relocate De and her husband and son to Georgia. That may just take up the greater part of my week.

Simply put, it was also great to come home to my hubby with the mostest and my three darling little darlings.

Gotta love this guy. Green binky and all.

Jillibean Soup

It's tragic, really.


I've not blogged in so long that when I start to enter "jensli" in my browser, the entirety of my blogdress no longer shows up.


I must say, my creativity has been sparked and thus, I return.


Oh, that, and the fact that I am refining the art of procrastination as I sit down at my computer to try to get some work done from home.


Yes, back to the creativity spark. My new favorite scrapbooking line. Jillibean Soup. I love it when I look at scrapbooking supplies and words like "oooh la la" and "yummy" pop into my mind. This line is brilliant. Simply brilliant. I wish it had been my idea, but obviously it was not, so I am left to lust after someone else's brainchild.

All of the products from Jillibean Soup are named after different soup families.


For instance, you have the chicken noodle family:









Meet chicken boullion patterned paper.







You have the Old World Cabbage Stew Collection:









Meet Head of Cabbage patterned paper.

















You have bean stalks:



Mini flower ribbons and brown twine.



I could go on and on and on. You have to look at the website. Just looking at it makes you happy. Particularly if you are a paper crafter. If you are not a paper crafter, just humor me.

Oh, Easter Bunny, if you are out there, I know what you can put in my basket....
