Merry Christmas Dreamers!!    It has been a while since I had a lull in creativity, but I wanted to share my latest project with you.  I made this adorable mini-album for my newest grandchild, Evelyn.  It is her 1st Christmas and it needs to be special.  I bought this  mini paper pack and "goodies" in 2009, when I was in Denver with my good friend Patty. I love bright colors and loved

Hi Dreamers.  I have once again abandoned this blog.  I have been lacking creativity for some time.  I usually blame it to my attention deficit, but I have been back and forth to Oklahoma several times.  I have had time to visit with family and friends, went to Traverse City,  Michigan for a vacation. Great sight- seeing and picture taking opportunities around every corner.  We even had dinner in

  Hey Dreamers.  I know that by now most of you are aware that the Creative Scrapbooking Divas blog is closed as of last Sunday.  I am really saddened by it...cause I imagine I will lose contact with some great friends that I have made over the last 2 years.  I fully understand the reasons....it was a lot of work for everyone.  My personal blog has been so ignored  :(     I am going to assure you

Well, I have to say my trip to Oklahoma has been a great experience....I was able to do a lot of things I needed AND wanted to do...it has been a great mix.  I also got to get a lot of scrapping done.  That was because of the Creative Keepsakes Convention that was in Tulsa.  The girls and I spent Friday & Saturday playing with new products, meeting old friends, SHOPPING!!, volunteering, taking

I bet you think that since I have not been posting anything lately that I have not been creating?  You would be wrong!  I have gotten quite a few things finished and I want to share a new one with you.    I have to give you a little back story on these pictures.  They are of my son Patrick when he was 2.  He was "all boy" from birth. He: starting walking a 8 months had his first stitches at 18

With a glove, yea. With my hands? Get real!  I was quite comical as the ball repeatedly hit

Morning Dreamers.  Hope it is as lovely outside at your house as it is at mine...mild and sunny.  Perfect early summer morning.     I am up early starting on projects already...but I am stumped on this one thing...which color of glitter to cover my chipboard letter with. I started this page while on retreat in Lake Geneva, WI. It s a beautiful town and luckily the weather was bad, so I wasn't

Welcome back Dreamers.  Ok, I know you have been here it is me that has been missing!  Trying to turn a new leaf, starting today.  I have lots to share, so let's get started!   It is the most beautiful day here in the burbs.  Sunshine, nice cool breeze, a wonderful day to open up the house and get rid of the winter stale.  Only one problem with that...having scrap spread on the dining room table

Let me start by saying, I can't believe I haven't blogged in a month!  WOW!  But I basically haven't scrapped in a month and that is even more sad...or amazing.  April has been a tough month and I for one am ready to put it behind me.  I blew out my knee (having meniscus surgery in mid May) and had a large skin cancer removed. It was benign but took a BIG chunk out of my upper arm.  It is healing

Good morning Dreamers!  I can't tell you how busy my life has been...cause it hasn't!  I think I am the most boring person on earth!  BUT I have been busy with a little scrapbooking.    About a week ago, on the Creative Scrapbooking Divas site, I posted a challenge during our on-line crop (did you know we are going to host an on-line crop EVERY MONTH...on the last weekend?!)  It was a difficult

Oh, St. Patrick's Day, when everyone has a wee bit of Ireland in 'em! i wanted to share with you my bit of Ireland I see every day...my shamrock. Ok, I know it's really an Oxalis, in the Oxalidaceae family, sometimes called a garden shamrock or wood Sorrel. ( I love gardening!) It is from a bulb from my Grandmother Gash's window garden. It makes me smile and think of her. An Irish Blessing.

How would you feel, if, in the middle of your daily checking of blogs, website, and on-line hang-outs to see Your project on the front page!  Well I was shocked also.  It took me a moment for it to sink in...HEY!

Life couldn't be sweeter!  My newest Grandchild... Evelyn Kay  She was born on the 16th, weighing 7 lbs, 6 ozs.  She has a head full of dark black hair and right now her eyes are deep brown.  Everyone says she looks just like her brother, but I think I see more of mommy in her.  Then again, I was there when she was born, so I know! Big Brother wasn't quite as sure of the baby as the rest of us...

Morning Dreamers (ok, morning here, now, so just work with me!),    I guess going home really inspired me to get busy...cause I got another layout done!  And am  step closer to getting my storage drawers from Kaiser Craft finished.  It's not real big, 12.5" wide and 9.5" high, but the 4x4 boxes (9 of them!) will house lots of fun things...needles, embossing powders, cat's eye inks, flowers, etc.

Hi all you Dreamers.  It is cold (18) and windy here in the burbs.  So instead of curling up in a blanket (Lisa gave me a wonderful one for Christmas) I decided to do some creating.   So it was my turn to do a tutorial in the forum at Creative Scrapbooking Divas, and I was uncertain of what to do.  I had several ideas, but I always assume that they are not good enough, not fancy enough, not

Ok, I am back home, have my camera and my layout!!  It's not too much to get excited about and probably not worth the wait... but here it is!I belong to Story Tellers Kit club and used the paper on this layout.  I love their paper, but the embellishes are all digital.  So I had to stretch to make it have some dimension and texture.  The "1" was cut out of the green paper and instead of using the

I Love to Blog Hop!Don't you?  My very first experience with internet scrapbooking was with a blog hop.  It was a group of scrapbook stores that held it.  It took me all weekend, cause I played some challenges, read past blogs...soaked it ALL in.   As you know, I am on the design team for one of the BEST Scrap forums on the net...Creative Scrapbooking Divas!  We are having our first hop of 2011

I am a design team member at a wonderful, fun forum called Creative Scrapbooking Divas..  For my challenge this month, I did Lovin' the Layers.  It is really a simple idea, you do it every time you scrap.       Just layer your page...7 or more layers to be exact.  and do some embossing somewhere on it.   Here's my sample and a couple of close-ups of the details.  But to participate, go over

 Another soap-box day in DreamersKlub!  I want to take a moment to thank all who have served to protect us.  Freedom is so important, and if not for our Navy, Marines, Army, Air Force, Coast Guard and all the reservists, we wouldn't have it.  The  proudest days of my life ( becoming Grandma ranks right up there also!) were when my daughter took her oath to join the Navy ...   and graduated from

Hey Dreamers.  I''m coming to you with a heavy heart today.  My daughter's friend (they were room mates when Tami was stationed in Sicily) had a fire in her home on Oct 30.  She and some friends had walked down the street to a  Halloween party, only to arrive home and find that her home was fully destroyed.  She lost it all...her car, her motorcycle, her Naval uniforms, her clothes, her

Ok, nothing about scrapbooking, nothing philosophical, nothing life changing, just a sweet little visitor this morning.  I wanted to share him  (her?) with you.  I was watching Buddy run in the back yard this morning.  Steve brought all the plants in because of frost last night, and he wanted his peppers to grow a bit more.         Well, he had a hitchhiker on his plant.....

Good Monday Dreamers! Some o you know I do blog hops from time to time.  Well I have found several great, and a few not so great blogs doing this.   I have to tell you all about this Blog Candy I found!  It is being offered over at Scrap with Stacy , on blogspot.  She is giving away.. All of this stuff - 1 pkg Grungeboard (plain elements 94 shapes) 1 pkg Grungeboard (alphas- 234 letters, 9 fonts

Am I the only one that has an annoyingly long week?!  I know Patty has, with her sinus infection...always fun!  Well, let me tell you...no, it's not about scrap booking...ok,  a short version!  I am DEADLY allergic to strawberries..Tuesday evening, I starting breaking out in hives..normal berry reaction.  Seems that at church Tuesday there was this conference, and they served Strawberry Lemonade.

I love to read blogs.  If I read less I would have time to do my own!!  Any way, that's enough guilt for one day!  I have some new friends at a forum site called Paper Secrets.  They hosted a Haunted Blog hop this weekend.  WHAT!! YOU'VE NEVER BEEN TO A BLOG HOP!!!  GET OUT!     Ok, here's what it is, for you blogging newbies.  The host sets up a list of different blogs who want to participate,

So why have I not posted in so long? I seem to do a good job for awhile, and then just disappear. August was full....although I have nothing to prove that. I walked the dog, sat in the sun, hmmm that's about it! Wait! No, I made an album. OK, almost made one! In the 70's I worked at Lutherhoma, a camp in NE Oklahoma. I had all those photos in an OLD album, and took them out (what few were still

Ok, today's post has nothing to do with scrapbooking..or crafts for that fact.  It has to do with what I found hanging at eye level in my front tree (okay, our only hardwood tree).....Yes, a hornet's nest, just like in the cartoons when the bees chase you in one big swarm!  In MY FRONT YARD!!  We found it Sunday after going to the White Sox game. I went online to see how to remove it, and after

Now for those who know me...you can stop laughing any time now!  In our Creative Divas forum, Luisa has started an organization group.  I had to join...I am in great need of it!  She is even organized in what she wants us to accomplish in there, with lists and dates and all that stuff I lack!  So I wanted to share our homework for the weekend...yes, I completed it!    The challenge was to

OK, so many of you know how often I follow the blogs and web pages of the scrapbooking geniuses....for a few hours every day (before you gasp remember I only have 3 friends in Chicago-land and need to fill some time..).  So Debbie is one I follow ( some would call it stalking, I prefer the term "lurking" behind my keyboard! )  When I discovered that the ladies at Creative Cuts & Crafts  in Villa

Hello Dreamers,   I decided I probably should come back to see you again.  It has been quite a while..a whole month.  I want to tell you about an on-line forum that I not only belong to....but I have been chosen to be on the DESIGN TEAM!!  It is called Creative Scrapbooking Divas, and I have been a member there since it first formed, about a year now.  Luisa started it, as we branched off from

I have lots of things to share...just can't quit scrapping long enough to type!  I appreciate all those who blog every day..WOW!  Lot's of time involved.   Back on task now...I'M GOING TO BE A GRANDMA AGAIN!!!  You may remember my daughter was so sick at Christmas with a tubal pregnancy/rupture?  Well, she is definitely fertile and is in her 6th week with a new blessing.  I decided I should

I said a couple of days ago that I had been busy practicing craft, so I wanted to show you a little peek of a project.  I can't show all in case hubby reads my blog...it is a gift for him for his birthday. His Grandfather Lee had a large hand in raising Steve, and I am going to make it a tribute book.  He was a wonderful gift from God for Steve. It is called a man's book.   I took this class at

Happy Memorial Day!  This is such a special holiday for me...always has been.  We would load up in the car and drive from cemetery to cemetery, lovingly placing flowers on family graves.  Grandma Gash would talk about each person as we decorated their resting spots.  I feel like I know so many of my ancestors because of those outings.  We didn't have soldiers in our family...somewhere a great

Good morning Dreamers!  I have to tell you about our first all day crop at my new church (new cause I moved to Chicago).  I met Diane at a Growth Group lunch (that's the Tuesday Bible Study) and knew we would be friends.  You know, sometimes you can just tell?  Well, as we talked a bit more over the weeks, we found out we were both scrapbookers.  She invited me to crop at her former church with

      That's the question most people want to know about my relationship with Krista. She IS married to my middle son...but when we scrapbook together, it is a friendship as deep as my other friends. And it confuses my daughter to be at a scrapbook event with us (Slick doesn't crop). No subjects are "sacred" when we are scrapping and we talk about it all. So glad that Mike chose someone I like.

Do you ever find a piece of paper that you just know...I'll never use that in a layout. But you find yourself at an all day crop, ready to do a layout, only to discover that you don't have the right color of cardstock to go with page 2? And of course, you aren't at a store, so let's make do? That would be me, last Saturday. I wanted to post to my Memory-Works site, but they require at least 80%

My layout today, doesn't really have any oohh's & aahh's about it, I just wanted to share it. A few years ago, at the store, I had monthly challenges that were an attempt to get my girls to crop about themselves. Really dive deep into what matters in their lives...favorites, I love, etc. I didn't let them cop out by using their family, cause then they were still "just scrapbooking". It was

Well, you can see by the packaging, that I was so excited when my pre-ordered Tim Holtz Alterations Dies by Sizzix came in the mail from Scrap-Mart! I tore right into the package!As I said, I pre-ordered them from Laura & Howard at Scrap-Mart. They are an on-line company that specializes in the latest die-cutting options out there. I love to go to their site, and just browse! But by pre-ordering,

Hello Dreamers! Winter is almost winding down, and my S.A.D. is about to go away. All the lights in the world don't help some days. But I didn't get on here to whine, I got on to talk RETREAT! I finally got us a space...Arrowhead Lodge on the Illinois River north of Tahlequah. It's a bit rustic compared to the Canyon Camp, but the crop room is awesome! It has full glass walls in front and

I've been in such a fog lately...that I missed Christmas. Let's back up to preparations for the BEST CHRISTMAS EVER: In October and November, I started my shopping and wrapping. I wanted to get it all done and in Oklahoma by Thanksgiving...great goal. Then my boys "wanted nothing" or "wanted the moon"...too little or too much. They have always been this way. So I bought for Krista, Chuck,

with your on-line friends! I belong to several on-line scrapbook forums. Memories Always Forever had an on-line crop this weekend. It was my first to participate in, but it was so much fun. The design team issued challenges, we played word scramble, bingo, and even had a scavenger hunt! I played all weekend, pretended I was away at a crop..stayed in my pj's and fluffy slippers. And got

Don't you just love fall? The crispness of the air, the new sweaters at Kohl's, and the leaves turning just makes me at peace. Yes, even the new sweaters at Kohl's, or any other store in fact! The colors and the knobby knits just make me want to want to snuggle up to a great book and fall asleep wrapped in their warmth.And the leaves here are just getting spectacular.

So, you may ask, where in the world have I been? Well, for one thing...not blogging! Duh! Like you didn't already know that. Sorry, I didn't mean to insult you...weak attempt at humor. I have been busy scrapping a bit, finding my way around the western suburbs, a bit; went on a grown up vacation with my hubby and some friends! We went to Traverse City, Michigan, and it is a little slice of heaven

As most of you know, I am a patriotic sap. I have always cried when I heard or sang "God Bless America" or "This is My Country" or "The Star Spangled Banner", even as a little child. I cry at most patriotic songs (not "This Land is my Land" don't get me started on that communistic song!) or stories. I took our kids to the Veterans Day Parade in downtown Tulsa almost every year. I stand proud when

Ok, I have been so out of it lately. I was exhausted by the rush of family & friends. Then I was sad...I don't like not seeing my grandsons & friends. But THEN I discovered a secret. Ok not a secret. It was something that was there for everyone, including me, to see. I don't know why I didn't see it before. It wasn't hidden at all.Oh, sorry. Want to know what "it" is? We have been here almost 6

This last weekend was the Scrapbook Expo at St Charles. Patty, Sally, Krista & the twins drove all the way from Oklahoma to go with me. To say we had fun would be an understatement! They arrived on Wednesday evening here in Illinois. Thursday, it was a trip to Chicago on the train. We did Navy Pier, The Hancock Building, and took the Trolly. We were very tired kids. Friday morning the Expo

Ok, it's been a quiet week here on my blog...but I was busy creating. One of my LSS ( I have 4 locally..scrapbook heaven!) has a card swap every month. Annette usually has about 12 girls participate. So I made 13 cards, 12 to swap and one to the LSS. She sells them in the store, it's her price for letting us play. So in a couple of weeks, I'll have 12 cards to send out...this month's theme is "

Well, Friday night was a great night at crop. I cropped for the first time at Scrapbook Junction in Minooka, IL. I met a few new ladies (might even make a fewfriends) and was able to get a couple of pages finished. I used the July MW Express Kit and worked some more on our trip home from Maine (2007!) I had to pick some different cardstock than what was in the package, cause I wanted to use both

Ok, see I was surfing the MemoryWorks Message Board (yes, you too can go in there and read what's going on in the scrapbook world), and I followed a link by one of the girls. For all you bloggers, you need to check this out. And because I know so many of you don't blog, but you read them...check this out. In addition to just the contest and FREE product (follow the rules, they'll show you how

I don't have any scrapbooking to talk about today! I spent my weekend preparing for VBS at my friend Amy's church, Steve & I went to a local town festival Saturday late afternoon, church on Sunday, the neighbor dog's birthday (it was sooooo cute) and then the kickoff of VBS! I will elaborate a bit more on Zorro's birthday. Tori had balloons and ribbons with paw prints on it decorating the

Ok, girls. This is just too cute and I had to share it! My neighbors have 3 dogs..Zeus, Zorro, & Mia. In our mailbox today, this is what we received..not Steve & I, but Buddy got mail! It is a cute origami puppy, complete with tags that say "Buddy". The paper rolled up in his mouth was the invitation to Zorro's Birthday party! And now the dilema, what do you get the dog that has everything?

It's been a long time since I have been this excited about a kit. On National Scrapbook Day, MemoryWorks (the new company I'm an independent sales consultant with) had a flash like this. A Mega Kit. So, I scooped up 4 kits(for myself, Patty, Sally & Crystal) thinking it was a good deal. When the kit came..WOW!!! So much stuff, and not unrelated stuff like you get with other companies. It all

I have a friend Marie, whom I haven't seen in ages, who was young and had no children. But she loved to scrapbook. Soooo, she did layouts of her little dog. Did I say layouts? I meant entire albums of her dog. The puppy is an adorable little thing. And takes a great picture. Marie kept nagging me and nagging me to get more dog items in the store. Well, I didn't...probably just to annoy her!

I know, I really suck as a blogger. You would think, WAY UP NORTH WITH NO FRIENDS that I would have all the time in the world to sit at this computer and just type a little story..or 2. But for some reason, my heart hasn't been in it. BUT I am going to try it again. I would love to have several followers again....so here we go. A new post.Life in Bolingbrook is anything but boring.

Well, as promised I wanted to share the other layout I did on Saturday...sorry it took a week. Yes, I know, the twins weren't even one yet! But all things get done in due time! I used the Pine Cone Press Paper...matted the pictures in lime green AND black, but very thin...just to pop the pics off the very busy background. I cut the letters on my Cricut

Ok, I'm not one to whine (wait! yes I am!), but enough of this moving! I don't want to unpack anymore.On Saturday I went to a great all day crop. It was at Crops, Paper, Scissors & More in Plainfield, IL. The owners there couldn't be any nicer. Their "specialty" is making lazer cut items. I was working on a layout for Erick's graduation, and Debbie cut out the white letters & words for me. (I can

I DID IT! While I said I wouldn't, I did IT anyway. I can't believe it. I was just so bored and IT was just there whenever I went to the furniture store, to Steve's work, shopping...IT was just taunting me, tempting me to come in. So I did IT."IT" was going into Archivers for the first time. There is one not 5 miles from the house. I wasn't going to go in, because, like Michael's or Hobby Lobby,

But what if it is a bear with a Christmas hat on...animals or Christmas?!?!?! I'm going crazy. I've bought the binders from The Organization Lady. (www.TheScrapRack.com) They work great, but must be

It's the beginning of week 5, and I'm about to get settled in. Oh, the house has been settled for a couple of weeks...it's the DreamRoom that is progressing. I am designing it so it fits MY needs. So I've been cautious of bringing anything out of the basement, until I have a workable place for it. Now, some things may just stay down there (It's a finished basement, not like the scary ones in

well, not really. It's old stuff that I haven't seen in soooo long! I am starting out organized in my new space (a 12x10 spare room) and in the process of unpacking, I am finding paper I haven't seen in months! If you girls are lacking inspiration, go through a paper stack that you haven't touched in a while. Wow! I'm ready to crop....but my space isn't. Next week...I have high hopes.If you are

I know in my last blog I said I have been doing lots of shopping...well...today I'm visiting my first Local Scrapbook Store!! LSS for short. It is called Memories & Beyond. I can't wait. I've been setting up my room (it's looking great) all this week. I'm tired of setting up...I want to play! I think even Steve is ready for me to meet some scrap friends (I'm ruining his Beer & Rock-Roll

I'm not real sure of that title. But we are here, and almost settled in. It has been a woman's dream...shopping! We spent the entire first weekend shopping, yes Steve went. Into furniture stores, Best Buy, Target, Sears, Jewell Osco. We even ran into our friends David & Curtis (yes, Sally, even here I saw someone I knew out shopping!). Dinner out with them on Saturday night. It's a whole

Well, girls...this is the last blog for a little while. The packers come tomorrow, Wednesday, and pack it all up. I dare say I am almost ready for them. There is so much left to do. (since we're not selling our house, we can always pick it up on one of our visits) Then on Thursday, the movers come, load it all on their big truck, and haul it torwards Bolingbrook.

Ok, how can I be so busy and have nothing to say? At least nothing about scrapbooking, and this is supposed to be a scrapbooking blog. But it has been almost a MONTH since I last wrote. And yes, I've gotten my room clean enough to reach the computer! YEAH!!! I've started putting together a plan on what to do in the frigid north... I know you dreamers will get excited about it!

Well, I've found a house to live in, emptied out my stuff from the store front, (I refuse to write about that cause it will just make me sad again), began organizing all the stuff from a 1300 sf store into a 12x18 room, and also began the hard task of "what are we taking to Bolingbrook with us"? Oh, and preparing for my last official Dream Weekend Scrapbook Retreat! I have enough going on to

Well, we've done! After looking at almost 20 homes or condos...we put in an application for one!!! Yea! It is nice, newer (1997) and spacious. It's going to be about a 30 minute drive for Steve to work. It backs up to a local golf course...not too far from groceries, etc. I'm excited! Girls, it has a 3/4 basement for cropping!!

Wow! It's cold here. We arrived on Saturday afternoon to the swankiest hotel (Hotel Arista) I've ever been in. I can lay in my marble soaking tub and watch tv on the mirror! Yes, you read that right. The tv is built into the mirror. I have my own personal robe, they turn back the beds, set up a tray of water, turn the radio on a soft channel and the lights down low. That is the way we are

Okay, again, not about scrapping...but, we have a "newish" dog. Older golden lab puppy, actually. His name is Buddy and he is stealing my heart. We are taking him to Chicago with us, so he has to learn some house manners...which means he has to stay in the house.I bought a crate for him. It is as big as a toddler's bed! At first, I had to physically drag him into it. (He weighs 63 pounds) Then we

What? It's still Cold!! I want the "cold one day and hot the next" weather cycle back. It seemed worse at our house last night, because the upstairs heater didn't kick on. We've been having some problems...put in a new thermostat...is it an installer (hubby) problem...or is it the starter? Anyway, it got down to 56 in our room last night..great for sleeping, not great for getting up! I

Wow! Is it cold or what!?! Just to confirm your suspicions, I am moving to Chicago ON PURPOSE! Yes, me, the coldest person in the world. I'm gonna die!!! The first time we lived there, it was 46 degrees on the 4th of July! Remember the last paragraph whenever I try to convince you I know anything!

With thousands of junk things rolling around in my head, where to live in Chicago, how much of our stuff are we going to move, gotta see "so-so" before we leave, you know, Stuff, that I haven't even thought about scrapbooking.

I wanted to take a couple of minutes to write down some Christmas thoughts... If you know only 1 thing in the world about me, I hope it is how much I love my Lord and my family. Ok, 2 things! So Christmas is such a fabulous time at my house. The birth of a child and joy like little children ...the two things I love. And experience, especially at this time of year. When my children were

Hey dreamers!I went on a church retreat this weekend, and you can't imagine how renewed I feel! I love being able to slow down and listen to what God has to say to me. I was really blessed. Hope you all get to experience His love this week.Because of my birthday last week, the church retreat, & my son's housewarming party, the store was closed last week for too many days.

My life is very full-I have lots of fun things to share-I could add a picture of my latest layout-tell about the retreat-tell about my birthday- - - but the reality is, I've had my grandson Ethan (and he brought his mom) move in with me, and all I want to do is play with him all morning! Slick's hubby is stationed in Bahrain, so they will be with us

Good morning Dreamers, I just wanted to drop a quick line before my day got started....it's going to be a fun one! Today we leave for our Scrap Pink Retreat. Laurie came from Dallas yesterday to retreat with us. She and I spent the early evening packing up the new paper and the "store" for the retreat. I've ordered in the new Fall and Christmas lines from BoBunny, and I'll debut them this

Well, this has nothing to do with scrapbooks...My youngest grandson just turned 1 on Sunday! Happy BD Ethan. He had a grand time. His Grandmother Angela (dad's mom) from San Antonio got to see him for the first time on Friday. Aunt Sharon came with her. They couldn't take their eyes off him. And he fell in love with Grandma immediatly. Life is grand.

Well, the way I talk, you'd think I had a rough week! Since I quit my parttime at Arby's last week, I had Monday nite home with the family, Tuesday nite home with the family, went to Bible study Wednesday, and Thursday nite home with family! AND I got to see all my grandsons, more than once. Pretty easy and enjoyable week. So why do I look forward to Friday? Because tonight is

Okay, not that September is fall, but have you stepped outside lately? Everything just feels and smells clean, fresh. Awwww, in love with life. I'm greatly enjoying having Slick (my daughter) and the baby with us. She makes me laugh sooo much. Her dad is loving it too. Last night, we just watched tv and talked about nothing. I have missed those days. (For new readers, my daughter has been

I'm so excited about some events that are going on at the store that I've forgotten to let all of you know (to those who come to the store on a frequent basis, I apologize for the repetition). Most of you have heard about ScrapPink, a crop sponsored by Scrapbooks, etc. and the Susan G Komen for the Cure. I am a participating store this year. I really wanted to do it last year, but the birth of a
