i know it is a huge deal, we have no one here but my parents and i see them about two hours a week is all. i can't stand be to away from my daughter any more, so i totally understand about your granddaughter! if they move with us, it will be perfect! i feel like my life is passing me by waiting for someday. now comes the hard part getting rid of 23 years of junk!!!!

wow i sure will be a lot closer to you!!! my husbands family is from Canada. thanks so much!!!! i am super excited!!!

it was so good!

yes you are right Robyn, but probably not what you are thinking! i'm going to try to do a page and a post soon!

thanks Sharon! layering is really fun!

thanks Serena!!! i know, it is one of my favorites - it is by KI Memories

Liz beth - thank you for stopping by and taking the time to leave me note! my service is little ol' me!!!! i print all my own photos on a old HP Photosmart printer. if i couldn't print them at home i would use Printstagram.com but i hope that day never comes as i like to print and document things as they happen! i would die if i had to wait for my pictures!

thanks Serena! i am having fun!!!!

thanks so much Sharon, you say the sweetest things!

thanks Serena! i am all about simple!

thanks MiMi! my husband thinks i am a little cloud crazy and has even given me a name and others who like the clouds - cloudies! i love it!!!

thanks so much Robyn!!! well it kinda depends on what you like, the orange book has a lot of plain white pages with colored grid, to me it is the easiest to match to any photos etc. it is one of my favorites and good one to start with i think. the red is also one of my favorites but it has a doodle theme. at first i didn't like like, now i love it. the black is also good. and if you like nature the green eco book has lot of out of doors photo pages. if you search on youtube you can find full a flip through of most all the books so you can see the pages. even though i love pink it is my least favorite book, too many flowery pages! let me know if i can help in any other way. i am super excited that you are doing to get a smash book!

thanks so much for stopping by my blog and for taking the time to comment! those tress are by Amy Tangerine!

thanks so much for stopping by my blog and for taking the time to comment! you are welcome and i am glad you enjoying looking at my pages!!

thank you so much Meihsia! it is amazing how my photos matched the colors on the pages! i love it when that happens.

thank you so much Kimberly! i did that once with a sticker years ago in a scrapbook and just remembered it now. it is good when we make our supplies work for us! you're welcome about the apps, i am going to have to buy them for the ads in the free versions are driving me crazy!!!!

thanks Karyn, i really like those dots too! i am still getting used to the bigger pages but i like them for something special like these photos so i don't have to scrapbook them.

thanks Sharon! and yes it sure was, the internet is what has caused all this crazy buying of stuff - you have everything there is in the world to buy all at a click of a button! good and bad!
