First, I love your Little Things layout!
Scrapbooking is good for my soul, because after 22 years of scrapbooking consistently, my husband and I are amazed at how many details we have forgotten. If it weren't for documenting trips and every day life things, we would be missing some amazing details of our family's life!

You have to forgive our blogging activity these past few weeks or lack of I should say. Do you ever feel like you're running on the treadmill and someone keeps turning the speed up on it. That's a little how we feel lately. People ask, "how business is" and we always tell them, "We have a ton of...

Interesting...hmmm...that's always a hard one (what is ordinary and boring is often intriguing to others though).
Well the first thing that comes to mind is that DH & I celebrated our 26th anniversary yesterday! :) I realized that I can remember being 26 years old and thinking I was so grown up and mature (old) and now I've been married that long! And it dawned on me that many people these days never see 26 years with their spouse. I'm blessed beyond measure.

Teresa Collins- MID-RELEASE NOTATIONS
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. ...
I will not be watching the wedding....I will be at a scrapbook retreat that weekend without any television access. I'm sure there will be LOTS of pieces on tv about it later though, so I will end up seeing it in the end.

I'm a quilter as well and LOVED the analogy of the fact as quilters we view our stash as a 'resource'. It's so true that fabrics get mixed, old & new, this line and that line.....and everyone loves it!
That one word, resource, will definitely be sticking with me.
Use Your Stuff: Deconstruct your Collection
It's that time of year: right now, the three scrapbook stores closest to me seem to get in some new line of supplies weekly. It's absolutely thrilling to stop by and see new items. My love of making layouts grows with each glimpse of never-before-seen paper, ribbon, stickers, and alphabets. (Y...
