Well, I have officially lost all the energy needed to make this blog appear even remotely interesting.
I’m 9 months pregnant. That’s my excuse for everything these days.
Too tired to blog. Because I’m 9 months pregnant.
Can’t bend down and pick that up, sorry. I’m nine months pregnant.
What’s that? It doesn’t look like my clothes fit any more. Mmmmm hmmmm. I’m nine months pregnant.
Feeling a little grumpy today are we? YA! I’m NINE months pregnant.
How many cookies did you just eat honey? Glare.
So I need help…this little blog needs help. If anyone has any questions for me or ideas for things I could post about, have at ‘er. It would be lovely not to have to think about what to post about this week…I am nine months pregnant afterall and my brain (and my whole self for that matter) could use a good long rest.
🙂
Rebecca

LOL. you are cute! Hang in there…your new little one will be here before you know it (so easy for me to say, being the one not pregnant :p)
Hmmm…Have that baby and you will have a new topic to post about. Good luck! You look great…even nine months pregnant!
Hi Rebecca
My best friend is nine months pregnant also (with her first child), and thinks its high time the baby made an appearance. Do you have any advice that I can pass on to her, for what sounds like a particularly trying time? Of course, I’ll tell her that she can use the ‘I’m 9 months pregnant’ excuse.
Tell us how you met your husband, how long you dated, etc. I would love to hear about that.
Hi Rebecca, I’m a big fan of yours and am from Queensland Australia, we too are building and moving in in a matter of weeks. Perhaps you can blog about what rooms you invision will be your favourite and why and then when you move in let us know if they were, or if something about the house wowed you that you didn’t expect.. just a thought.

Best of luck with the delivery, My third child was born this time last year, the year sure did go fast.
First of all, although I’m sure you won’t believe me and I do speak from experience being the mother of five, I think you look fabulous for nine months. Second, there is nothing worse than that slow, draggy ninth month. Hang in there! Soon enough your life will be forever altered by New Little One, so savor this time with your two little ones. For the blog…how about some nesting news. Bought anything fun for the New Little One? What colors do you like to use for bedding/decor? Any newborn must haves?
How sweet! Seriously I LOVE this NINE months pregnant mum’s post!
I can’t help because I have no Idea for MY blog these days and I’m not pregnant, I have no excuse…hehehe
I don’t comment on your blog and I still wonder why but I love to read it, I am a huge fan of your work and your blog is really cool to read and to look at.
Take care
Rebecca, my dear, I think you finally do look a little pregnant. Now that you’re 9 months and all!! Whohoooo for that little miracle inside who we will soon get to meet! put your feet up, babe!! You are a gorgeous pregnant woman!
hi there!
i would love to know/see how you store all of your albums & minibooks! i am always looking for ways to display certain albums and tuck away those that are more personal. especially now that we’ve just moved into a new place, the possibilities are endless! any inspiration would be greatly appreciated!!
i hope these last few weeks go smoothly – you look great!

Well do you have any names picked out for the new baby? I just had my 4th boy 3 months ago, and I know the name picking is quite a task. What theme are you doing the babies room in? Have you moved into your new house yet?
Is there any recipes you want to share with us that your family really likes?
Do you like to bake?
Have you started Christmas shopping yet?
(Hope that is a good range of questions for you….) btw though I love your blog and I don’t think it is boring.
I just want to let you know too how adorable I think you are. I love your scrapbooking style and you are for sure one of my inspiration girls. Thanks so much. I am still trying to get your book, but I work at our LSS and we are out and I don’t think she is getting anymore in and I can’t find it anywhere else here in town. 🙁 I don’t buy that stuff online anymore (I had problems with my credit card number getting hacked or soemthing and we got charged for this “adult” site…so I don’t do it anymore). I have however looked at it and I love it.
Good luck in your last moments. I know the reality hits right about now knowing at any moment you could be holding your new little one. CONGRATS!!!!!!!!
Love, Nicole M.
WOW Rebecca – you look GREAT for being — what was that again? NINE MONTHS PREGNANT! Love the pose just like your wonderful book! I don’t have any ideas for ya…just rest, relax and try to think about anything else but being…9 months pregnant! Hang in there! ~ Kathy (Hillsboro, OR)
How did you get into the world of professional scrapbooking? It’s something I would love to do someday. How do you find juggling family, wife-dom, church, and a social life with the fun work you do? (I guess that’s 2 questions – it’s okay, you don’t have to answer both, your NINE months pregnant, afterall)
Are you kidding me? NINE months pregnant? I wish I had looked half as beautiful as you do when I was nine months pregnant! Okay, I’ll help you out. My question is: I love the simple ideas you think up when designing pages and mini-books. How do you do it? Best wishes and good luck with the birth.
SERIOUSLY….you are so dang cute! Sure, I know, we hate being called cute, but really you look so good.
Um…can you take a picture of me like that in my ninth month? I only have 7 more to go! Can’t wait to see your new babe…any funny things that Carson or Emily have said about the baby or the belly?
Rebecca,
I will give you 1 thought to think about. When your little one arrive and all the attention being given to him or her from all direction, have you thought about how your two older kids will feel?Sure they will be happy to have someone to play with (in many years to come), and you prepared them for the baby arrival.But please understand they are kids!! The baby got all the nice gift, why don’t I? The baby got all the praise, why don’t I? The baby got all mom’s attention, why don’t I?
Get it?
So, in this last days, prepared for the older two instead. Small gifts for them, new story book, even banner that said “horray I’m now big brother!” with balloon…
Well, that’s what I did!
Happy nine months!!!
When I was 9 mo. pregnant with daughter number 2 someone asked me, “When are you due?” I replied, “Tuesday.” They thought that was pretty funny. Hang in there, it won’t be long now. By the way, I saw your segment on Fiskars TV last night and you are so cute! I love your style. I can’t wait to get your book.
I was wondering what you use for your Black back drop – do you use fabric (if so what kind)? Black sleamless paper?
I think that I saw a long time ago that you use the white seamless paper for your white, but never got what you use for black!
You are adorable, Rebecca! And funny! I would also love to hear about the names you are thinking of for your little one, and how you got into scrapbooking, and how you met your husband. Tell us more about Emily and Carson, too.
May God bless you! I love reading your blog!

You are too stinkin’ CUTE! LOVE the post! Maybe you could blog about what it’s like to be nine months pregnant huh? LOTS of LOL!
~Katherine
Hi Rebecca! Hang in there…you’re almost done. 🙂 Questions…do you have names picked out for this little one? Do you have the room ready? Do you have any photos on your list of must take shots for the baby? Is there anything you need we can do for you? Good luck!
Monica
You look amazing!!!
Hey Rebecca, just wanted to say hi! And don’t worry, you’ll have plenty to post about in a few weeks! 🙂
I think your photography is wonderful! Perhaps you’d be willing to share some simple, but effective tips for some of us amateurs. Like a previous post, I too would like to know what you use for your backgrounds (white and black).
Good luck with baby #3 (I’m expecting #5…still have a ways to go, but feeling exhausted already!)
I can only hope I’m as cute as you are when I’m nine months pregnant!
You should show us pictures of the stuff you’ve gotten for your bebe. Super cute I bet!
show your albums, minibooks and storage ideas, love that! And of course I am a sucker for baby rooms and little stuff…
Hi Rebecca:
You are ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE!! This picture is great!!!! I have a GREAT question………..PLEASE HELP ME FIND A COPY OF YOUR BOOK…..I have been looking and looking and can’t find it. I was referred to a “used” copy by our local bookstore and they said it would be $50!!! So, there’s my question…where can I get your awesome book??????
Good luck with your little bundle of joy!!!
Charlene
Hi Rebecca
You look absolutely gorgeous, being pregnant suits you! I wouldn’t worry about what to blog just put your feet up and relax – you deserve it!
Take care Angela NZ
I read your book and loved it–it changed my whole perspective and the perspective of anyone to whom I’ve shown it (and by showing it to people, I mean that I wave it in front of their faces, open to a dozen or so pages while briefly giving the gist of the message there, raving all along about your genius, and then tell them that I hope they aren’t sold out and wish them luck at find such a drop of joy on their own.)
But I’m wondering, if you can help me a little bit more, by describing how you arrange things on your desk. I can copy you piece for piece, and your “schemes” are better than someone else who famously creates something similar, but I’d like to know how you start so that I can develop these pages a little more naturally.
Okay–a question of some kind. What are the 5 things that are absolutely on your desk when you create, that you can’t do it without, and if you have nothing more, you’ll be fine.
One more–what are the settings on you camera when you get those lovely head shots of your kids?
Thank you and best of luck with being pregnant–may it not be much longer.
Hi Rebecca,
I just finished reading your book last night (I actually only started it the night before!). I LOVED it! I realized that I don’t make enough effort to find the time to scrapbook. But, I figure if you have 2 children, were pregnant and building a house during the creation of your book, then I have no excuses. I have just one child. Starting today I am going to put some of your tips to work. Thank you!
My question for you is: How do you organize your paper scraps? You use leftovers and scraps on a lot of pages, so you must be able to find them easily? I hate going through my scraps because they are not organized at all.
Thanks!
Congratulations and good luck on the delivery of your newest family member!
Cheryl
I always love any tips for photography or photoshop. How do you get your black and whites to looks so rich? Scrapbook inspiration would be fun too! Thanks and hang in there!
Rebecca, you look amazing, at this time my best advice is massages..
Foot massage, back massage on a massage chair..feels great esp at 9 months. My question for you is about your camera, maybe you have answered this in the past but i’m a new fan. What kind do you use? what do you recommend? What lenses do you have or recommend? Good Luck on your delivery.
Hi Rebecca – I love your blog – your scrapbooking style has inspired me since I first noticed it back in ’04 in Simple Scrapbooks. The new book is great – so glad I pre-ordered my copy way back when.
I would love to know if you’ve got an amazing scrap/work space planned for your new house – if you do, what is it going to be like?
Thanks for continuing to inspire me with your scrapbooking and photography.
Hang in there – you look great!
I’m with some other comments: what do you use for the backdrop featured in this shot? What about backdrops in general…where do you find you use them the most? I’d guess this shot was taken inside… but maybe not? I’m surprised you even have enough energy to blog in the 9th month! Good luck! Ditto on all the comments about how great you look 9 months pregnant! Best wishes….
What program do you use to organize your photos?
What program do you use to edit pictures?
Do you print out your pics at home, or bring them somewhere?
Do you print every single picture and store them until your ready to scrap, or do you print out the ones you need to scrap?
Rebecca you look stunning! You may not feel cute, but yours is definitely a cute (looking!) pregnancy!
I think you should do a post on Halloween candy. What was your favorite when you were young? Now?
What do you give out on Halloween?
Best Wishes to you and your family – baby number three is so fun!
I love your book! It is my absolute favorite resource (You really got me back on track) always love to see your pages in SS – you are so genuine and your layouts are fun to scraplift – thank you for all the inspiration. My question/request 🙂 is will there be a Real. Life. Scrapbooking 2? I know that is kind of a mean question to ask you when you are 9 months pregnant, but I’m dying to know if it is something you would ever do again? You look fabulous. Congratulations on sweet little number 3! Andrea
Hi Rebecca, I think you look great and can only sympathise with you at the moment. The last few weeks are a nightmare, especially when you have other kids to take care of. I have three kids (5 yr old twins & a 2.5yr old). Anyway, just wanted to say good luck to you and can’t wait to hear the news!
Also, I have a couple of questions (I adored your book btw)… 1. Would love to know how you find time to scrapbook – I struggle with time – it usually comes to a choice between scrapbooking or housework!!
2. A couple of others have asked this, but photography tips would be great. Your photos are awesome. I have a new digital SLR, but only know the basics on how to use it!
Thanks and good luck again.
Emma
LOL Rebecca!! next it’s going to be “but I have three kids!” (Trust me on this one ;))
That photo of you is absolutely wonderful! Any day now! 🙂
I don’t have any questions right now, but you look RADIANT! 🙂
Hi,
Love your book!!!My question is, I noticed in your book you do a lot of cute printing in white on dark background. I know most people print in reverse, white type then the printer prints the dark background on white cardstock, and the type comes out white. But as much as you do it, you would run out of ink so fast, and isn’t that expensive? How do you do it? My other question is how do you scrap events? Like trips to the zoo,fair, birthdays,etc?
