My favorite memory is going camping with my family. We would leave early in the morning, the station wagon all packed up. I would get to sit in the front seat between my parents because the car was so full and my 2 older sisters and the dog were in the back seat. Wow, I haven't thought about that in 20 years...I think I just typed my journaling for a page about this....wonder if i have a photo to go along???
Give-It-Away Thursday: Scrapbook Trends
I know one of my favorite memories of this summer will be riding the roller coasters at Elitch's with my kiddos. So of course I had to do a quick page about that, using some of the Instagram photos on my phone: S U P P L I E S : I love how the cut roller coaster "track" gives the page such ...
Congratulations! That is awesome...keep up the good work!
30 POUNDS.... gone
I knew that on the day I lost 30 lbs that I was going to SHARE it. It has been a goal for me to get my weight in check and get healthy. Today I visited my doctors office and was just going through the motions. I have only lost about 2 pounds since I came home from CHA. Yes, it's called a THREE w...
I love a good mini! SO cute!
Give-It-Away Thursday: Paper Kisses Kit!
It's another manic Thursday around here as I attempt to cram in a workout, shower and pack kids' lunches before heading off to school and Riely's classroom where I'llbe volunteering until noon. Then it's home to wait for the dishwasher repairman to show up and fix (yet again) the appliance that ...
Love this idea!! Excited for this month's *love*ly posts!
*love*ly things 2012
**note- i wrote and scheduled this post a LONG time ago...but i have to add something. thank you so much for the comments you all left on my post yesterday. i don't even know what to say. i'm astounded at the response, and very humbled. i'm trying to find a way to respond to each and every comme...
I read your blog alomost everyday. I use to comment a lot, but in the last year life is just very busy, and I only comment once in awhile. I personally like the craft/layouts posts. I like all your posts. There is just something so "real" about your blog, about you, and that is what I love. That is why I check the blog everyday. You make me feel like I know you, like you're my friend, a neighbor. Oh, and I never comment on giveaways, so many people I feel my odds are slim! Anyway, you do a GREAT job...keep it just like it is...real!

Art of Layers: The Time Line, pt 2. Deeper Thoughts
Pre-Sept 2010: When i said i had inklings, it has been a long time coming. When i worked on the newspaper staff in both Middle & High School, i feel in love. It just seemed so right for me, a love of writing, a love of art & design. Fast forward to being part of the scrapbooking industry. ...

Give-It-Away Thursday: Jenni Bowlin Goodies!
To stay on top of the whole organizational groove I've got goin' on this month, I'm clearing out some of the goodies on my scrap desk. I had a good portion of the January Jenni Bowlin Papercrafting Kit left over (plus pieces of the Artisan Add-on) after making my pages, so today it's up for grab...
This collection is absolutely stunning. Right up my alley! I cannot wait to get my hands on it. The colors are awesome (love the yellow especially) and then add in all the everyday stickers, etc., it's perfect for me. I scrapbook the everyday moments more than anyting else...my son is ten and I don't have one birthday layout yet...but I have lots of other moments!
Your releases are always top on my buy list!!

Introducing my 12x12 NEW- NOTATIONS collection: I did a NOTATIONS kit but did not have 12x12 papers in the kit. I was asked over and over at CHA S to create a line of papers from my kit. So I decided to keep the same look and feel and design it to be full die cut papers that are double sided. ...

Great mini book. I've had some glimmer mist for about a year and I do use it. But I have never used it to blend colors as you did on the show. I really want some of the blending gold mist too. It really seems to make a difference. Thank you for inspiring me!

I have such a love/hate with that show!!! My husband loves it and I get sucked in when he's watching, but I feel like it is a waste of time. It totally made me laugh that you want to be snookie! No offensive, but you are so classy in comparison. But I can't wait to see pictures!! Have fun!!
