This & That Kit - My kind of scrapbooking!

Now, this is MY kind of scrapbooking!

My life is busy, chaotic and crazy. I have very few blocks of time to sort and organize and figure out what to scrapbook and by the time I do I don't remember the details or the funny things that happened, and I feel stressed about having everything match and where I put the cute accessories etc.

When I saw this my interest was piqued... but I still wasn't sure... when I got it in my hands I squealed, I was so excited! No more doing anything in order (unless you want to.) No more chronological, needing to get everything down. Just throw in the bits YOU want. Often, the most important thing to me is not the who, when, what, where, how... It's the life lessons. The little things I see or feel and say "I want to remember this. I want to hold onto this feeling or this new knowledge."

So, for example, we just spent part of our Spring Break in Albuquerque - we went to the zoo and had a great time. The things that made it special for me are the little things though... Finlay got a fancy camera at Christmas time and I loved watching him stage pictures and photograph the animals and the flowers. I wonder where this hobby will take him, if this is a formative stage in his life? We went on a train ride and Marsh and I were transported back in time to the days where our whole lives were immersed in train paraphernalia. Our boys are so grown up now it's great to get those reminders.

So I super quick threw together these pages. The kit makes it SO SUPER EASY and (most important to me) QUICK!

Everybody's will be totally unique based on what YOU want to record and remember, I love that there are no rules, just save whatever, it's all good!

New Journal

If you have ever attended an class or workshop with me you may well have seen me toting around my giant green notebook. I know the thing to do is to carry all your pertinent info. in a PDA or fancy phone or something but I'm not quite with it yet... I rely, heavily, on my scruffy old notebook. It seems to be the only way I can manage to keep track of money, appointments, just life in general! Anyway, when I saw that we now have the option in My Digital Studio of creating a journal I had to have a go... I used an assortment of pictures from our cruise to decorate mine and hovered by the front door waiting for the UPS man to deliver it. I love it! It's about 6" x 9" and is just a blank book full of lined pages. Perfect, and so much more fun that my giant green notebook! It cost $24.95 which I don't think is a bad price - I'm thinking it would make a great personal gift and you could even design one as a Guest Book at a wedding etc. I'm dying to make more - and I'm sure I'm going to be so much better organized now ;-)


I am having fun getting ready for our Giant Stamp Sale tomorrow and Tuesday. You wouldn't believe how many stamp sets are piling up! I started off with a big pile myself and every day people have been bringing me more. I hope you'll pop by and take a peek! We are raising money for our friends and neighbors, the Espinosa family. Hope to see you!

Have a great week, Brenda
