broken barrier...

Wow. What a week! I realized that my first layout to be published in Creating Keepsakes just came out in the September 2007 issue - Tips and Tricks section. I have broken the CK barrier! WooHoo. Here is the layout in case you were curious...






Also, Isabel started school yesterday. It's so wierd that she starts in the middle of the week, but I guess that's year round school for ya. I'm going to have some crazy scheduling this year with Chloe starting Jr. High and Oaken starting kindergarten next week. Anyway, isn't she so dang cute in her new school outfit and those fabulous leaport print shoes?



Check out the Making Memories Blog for an inspiration challenge they asked me to do. The question was which MM lines did I find was most like me - for the answer - go here!


Just back from CHA - helping out my friends at Traditions Studio - such fun stuff to play with! They have the coolest 12x12 shadowbox frames ever - with an easle back to stand on a table or a hook to hang on a wall. I will definately be buying some of these...I know someone who puts the newest laouts she does in these all around her house. What a great way to enjoy those memories and art we make before they go into the albums! Here is an example of one - they come in black or white.
