There Are A Few Things Going On...
Besides Christmas, that is!
First up, there is a new Your Scrapbook Stash Team! I was invited by Erica to be the DT Coordinator, and I happily accepted the chance to work with this wonderful team:
US Stash Girls
Audrey Yeager
Lynette Davis
Michelle Magana
International Stash Girls
Bente Fagerberg
Jessy Christopher
Danielle Aubroeck
For links to their blogs and more info about the items on sale in the Your Scrapbook Stash Store, click HERE.
In January, I will be teaching at Stash to Treasure! I was scheduled to teach again in March, but I made a switch to help out a friend and I am so excited about how this class is coming together! We are going "Green for Spring" and making 3 projects out of packaging. We are creating a garland, a layout, and a table centerpiece (my favorite... it's kind of a 3-D Panoramic style!) So, start saving your packaging, and join me for this class, starting 1-1-11 at Stash to Treasure!
A few sneaks:
Along with that... we are also unveiling a brand new site, that has been completely redesigned to make your class experience even better. Our archives will be completed, and each class, going back to our opening (October) will be posted there, so as a subscriber you will have access to each class for 6 months. Also, we are having our GRAND OPENING PARTY all month long in January, so join us HERE for prizes and contests every day (Mon-Fri) in January for the big bash!
See you at the party!

Walking Along...
I was in a reflective sort of mood last night, and I created this layout using more beautiful Webster's Pages papers, trims, and letters.
My daughter is 5 now (she was 3 in this photo), and growing so fast. It's incredible to me how much she changes every single day.
Journaling Reads;
It struck me today, while looking at this photo, that we raise our kids to walk away from us. We raise them to know how to live their lives without us. From the moment they are born, they move farther away, little by little. So many times I wish that I could take them back to the baby days, to bring them closer again, and yet, that’s not how it’s supposed to work. They are supposed to walk away, and I am supposed to let them. Looking at this photo reminds me that my time is NOW. Now is my chance to teach them, to train them, to prepare them to live their lives. If I miss today, I’ll never get it back…. So I am determined to enjoy every moment and make sure that when the day comes, they are fully prepared to walk away and live their best lives, the lives God has planned for them. The walking away, the letting go, is the beginning of their story, and I get to help write it.
For me this layout is all about the memories and the feelings I was trying to express, not about the technical elements of it's creation. Sometimes, art is like that, you know? It's about what comes out when you put your emotions on the page. And that's what this is for me.
Thanks for coming over!
