This is so helpful, thanks! I spent several hours today trying to find out why my theme builder changes weren't showing, and now I know why! I recently changed from a pc to a mac running Safari and this is the first chance I have had to work on my new blog.

Great progress Margie, I did manage to finish 2010; working on 2009 at the moment!

That sure is a photo and memory worth preserving! Best of luck with LOAD; if I got a page a month done I would be happy!

Thanks for dropping by my blog! Great photos and lots of variety; the construction one looks just like Dubai! Caught up on some of your posts I missed whilst away; it must feel great to have your meals planned; oh how I wish I would buck up my ideas and do the same! scrappysue

Thanks for stopping by my blog Kim! Loved peeking into your day too; your dog is adorable!

Hi, I have been meaning to visit your blog in ages, especially as we were in Shanghai last July (and I seem to recall you might have been taking classes at BPC for almost as long as I have!). I would find it very difficult living there, soooo many people! Plus my children (especially my daughter), were hounded for photos all the time. Still, we did really enjoy our visit, and hope to return. Enjoyed looking at your photos and I just wanted to reach out and devour that cupcake, LOL!

Hi Lisa, dropping by from BFS. Well, these sure seem like great reasons to blog! I bought the class after the event last time, which never really works for me, so like you I plan on fully participating this time (famous last words eh?!). Looking forward to your sketches class too!

These look amazing, great job! scrappysue from JYC

Glad to have found your blog, will be back later for a better mooch. Have a lovely day!

OOoh, how lovely are these! What I look forward to most about summer is having the kids at home, no driving and going on vacation. Not sure we will be going away this year, but my daughter and I have tons of plans for crafting together, yay! Still another month of school left though, and its SO HOT!

Hi Cathy, well I'm still getting over the excitement of your school templates, and now these. Well, it took me about 5 years of procrastinating over making anything to finally discover that I really, truly love simple design, white backgrounds and rounded corners. You seem to have covered it all in these fabulous templates! Thank you so much Cathy, I'm headed over to DD as fast as you can say "CZ rocks my little digital world AGAIN!" ....
