Scrap It Forward---Challenge

Over at Scrap It Forward they are hosting their first ever Challenge. Here is my entry. I just loved the sketch they provided and I ran with it. I'd like to thank my cyber scrappy friend, Christine, for inviting me over to play along. Please drop by Scrap It Forward, enter and leave a comment about your favorite layout!

Still at a loss

I don't have a name yet...I'm at a loss of words, thought, and inspiration. I will continue to ponder, but I've given myself a deadline...Feb. 13th. I must have a title by then or else I will have no title...I will have to go with "THE NO NAME BLOG!"...how sad is that? Perhaps I will have a stroke of genuis throughout the week.

THE SAME BUT DIFFERENT...I'VE BEEN TAGGED

My cyber buddy, Calia has tagged me. This one is a little different so I decided, why not? As for the 'Same but Different' title..that's a little inside humor for my hubby. Let's see if he really is reading my blog.

Copy your own note, erase my answers, enter yours, and randomly tag 10 people (including me). Use the first letter of your name to answer each of the following questions. They have to be real... nothing made up! If the person before you had the same first initial, you must use different answers. You cannot use any word twice and you can't use your name for the boy/girl name question.
Have Fun!!!!!.

A Quest for a New Name

Well another day has passed and I'm still on the search for a new name for the blog. I was thinking about all the things I like, for instance…I love love love Harry Potter. But this site isn’t dedicated to only HP, therefore, if I chose a HP name and fan came over and saw all this other stuff I might be cursed…Cruciatus..no one likes to be tortured or worse Avada Kedavra and we know that one doesn't end well at all.
Then I thought, hmmm well I really like Dr. Seuss..but who names their blog…YIAPERS in DIAPERS, or ZILK in my MILK, or A ZAPER in my PAPER…no, no, no…moving on. Plus, I love all sorts of books, funny, murder mysteries, romance, even a little smut now and then…so I thought…KNOCK KNOCK, WHO’S THERE? A KILLING SPREE OF TRUE LOVE EROTICA….now that’s a crazy name!
So for now..I’m still thinking. What will it be? I know that I enjoy reading, I love scrapping,and I love chocolate…how do I bring that all together? Perhaps tonight I will be enlightened and the new name will come to me in a dream.

The Ramblings of a Blog Addict...

Coming of Age seems to have turned on a light somewhere in the depths of my brain. It seems I have more to say on everything, more than just about scrapbooking. I have so much going on in my life besides my obvious addiction to Paper. I am a wife, a Mom to a beautiful boy, a sister, a friend, a daughter, an Aunt, a reader, a creator, a baker, and so much more. Even more amazing I will be a TEACHER back in the work force come August 2009. So a change is in order. Although I will be forever...DIVASCRAPPER, my blog has to evolve..I need a creative title to bring together all the bits of me. All the wonders of turning 40 and not being afraid to admit it!!
As I ponder on my new vision, I am a bit nervous, but all the same excited to see that I am setting out on a new venture of my blog life. While scrapping will be a big part of me and this blog, it will not be the only part of me.
