On Vacation

As they say, vacations can be very relaxing. I have been enjoying a nice bit of time with my family and during that time I have finally been able to work on some pages. When I get back home I will have all the stresses of packing and moving so needless to say I will savor every minute and take lots of pictures.

I am a Gleek!!!!!!

Tonight is the night....season premiere of Glee!!!! What am I going to do without my weekly dose of Glee???? Yes, I am a Gleek.


Finally sat down long enough to work on a new layout. I have been drowning myself in books, one after the other. I love to READ!!!!

This layout is a hodge podge of products from my Studio Calico and Noel Mignon kits....Classic

Broke out some oldie but goodie stuff on this one. You should see the strips of paper I have left from last years Cosmo line for boys. Hey, ya never know when you might use that strip of paper!
I called this layout mud bugs. My subtext "Made in Texas" was because we attended a Crawfish Boil in Texas and although I am very appreciative of the efforts made, crawfish are just not the same unless you have attended a Louisiana crawfish boil. I can assure you I have already made plans with my family to feast on the famous "mud bugs" as soon as I get back to my old homestead. Vacation is just around the corner!!!!

Memorial Day

Wishing you and yours a safe and enjoyable Memorial Day Weekend. Please never forget those who served to make this country what it is today! Before I go to spend my holiday weekend with family and friends, I thought I would drop off my latest layout made from my Noel Mignon kit that I received in the mail the other day. It was perfect for a picture I had taken of Abigail while out on a mother/daughter date. Enjoy and again, have an awesome weekend!!!!




Hugs,

Kits or Indvidual Products...

Like many of my fellow scrappers, I want it all. Anytime the latest product or paper line comes out, I go into hyper-drive drooling over all the yummy goodness. Now there are some many fantabulous kit clubs out there too with super talented scrappers who know how to mix and mingle the perfect embellishment with the perfect papers, ribbons, and letters. So it got me to thinking...which method is more cost efficient? With a struggling economy and my struggling budget, I am always looking for a deal but the last thing I want to do is feel like I am missing out on all latest and greatest items. So I thought I would pose the question to all of you, my fellow talented people....Do you think we can save more by investing in kits or buying individual products? Let me know what you think!!!




This is one of the fab kits by Studio Calico...They have yet to disappoint.

And here is my latest purchase....Lemonade Stand by Noel Mignon

Can I say that I can't wait to run my fingers through this mouth watering kit!!!!!
Dropping one off for the road....Here is a layout I did today called "MY WISH". I wrote a few sentiments that I felt were important to pass on to my daughter.
