GREAT Mail Day!

Today's mail brought some much anticipated online orders. My 365 Album Kit and 3, yes 3, Quickutz alphabets. I started the 365 Project where you take a picture a day and scrapbook it simply. When you are done you have a completed album of one year of your life from the most celebrated days to your everyday happenings. So far I am LOVING it!

The 3 QK alphabets were releases from Spring of last year. I wanted them then, but the prices were a little steep. I found them online for a great price: Exotic Island, Chopsticks, and Fiesta. I am so going to love them all.

It Really Looked A Lot Like CHRISTMAS

Our whole neighborhood put up lights and it looked beautiful. I could not resist taking this picture since it had rained and really reflected the lights. Hope everyone else's Christmas was Merry and BRIGHT!

It's the BIG One!

HAPPY 21st BIRTHDAY MIDGEE

Speaking of Disney

Well, I finally made it to see WallE this past week. Yes, he's cute and adorable and I did enjoy the movie, but there were too many messages in there for my brain to work on. There were so many I couldn't enjoy the beauty of the movie. I guess this means Disney is no longer making cartoons for me. ;)

He's still too darn cute!

Love Disney, But Where's Goofy?

I Love Disney, Disney, Disney! Sarah and I took off this past Tuesday, visited Disneyland on Wednesday, and drove back on home on Thursday. What an exhuasting and Great Day. We walked from our hotel at 8 AM to be at the gates when they opened. We did not return to our room until almost 11 PM. I have to say the Fireworks show at 9:30 was absolutely AWESOME! I get emotional every time I see a Disney firework display.

Here are a couple of pictures of Sarah and I at Disneyland.

Scrapbooking Celebrity September

Wow! What a busy month for meeting scrapbooking celebrities! I started out the month meeting Becky Higgins at a book signing for her new Sketches book. (LOVE it!)

Then I took a class at CKC-Phoenix with Lisa Bearnson. This was my first time meeting her. She is so personable and warm. I really enjoyed the class, it was kind of laid back and easy to follow. I also took another Creating Keepsakes class taught by Emily Magleby, she is the Product Coordinator for CK magazine. She also has an article each month called Latest and Greatest.

Last and most certainly not least, Heidi Swapp. She was at a local scrapbook store (LSS) giving a demonstration and talk about some of her latest products and what inspires her. This was on Friday night and she was moving the following Monday to China.

I am not a big celebrity follower, but all these visits worked out during the month and my friend Anjanette was able to attend a couple of them with me. This was a really big bonus!

Rome Wasn't Built In A Day

It is hard to believe that we started this from a big pile of dirt. The stress and angst this has caused is unimaginable. I know it will be worth it in the end, I know it will be worth it in the end, I know it will be worth it in the end. (I guess it only worked for Dorthy?)
