Yeah!!

I'm so excited and I know I'm going to be posting as regularly as I can! I have two crops lined up that I am going to attend. Usually I am the one hosting a crop, but this time I am the one who gets to sit and participate! First, I am going to an all day crop on Feb. 7! We start at 10AM and don't finish til 10PM!!!! This is local, but it's gonna be so much fun! And in March I am going away for a Scrapbook Weekend with the girls! We are going back to The Loft! I am going to have fun with "my sisters" and my goal is to become current on my youngest son's album! Wish me luck!

January 2009 Club

These are the layouts we are doing at Club this month. For the Homecoming pictures, I used CTMH's Paper Garden paper. I used the muted background paper and added color with the embellishments. The Christmas pages were done with CTMH's B&T paper. I like how it turned out.

Memory Jar

My sister Tracie had a really cool idea ~ to make my parents a Memory Jar for Christmas. It was actually pretty fun to do. My brothers, sisters and nieces and nephews all wrote down memories from our childhood to present ~ we had to come up with 365! I decorated a jar with CTMH paper called Paper Garden, and added some embellishments. I thought the jar turned out really nice and now my parents can pull one memory out of the jar every day this year and recall all the good times we had!
