The best Mother's Day present

Look what I got this year from my wonderful husband! It's a digital picture frame! Is this cool or what? All I have to do is pop a memory card into the side and turn it on, and it displays a slideshow of pictures. It even plays music and movies! (Haven't done that yet, though.) The nicest thing about it is that it sits up on top of my desk with only one wire going down the back and you don't need a computer. It even has a remote. I feel too cool for school with this baby on my desk! Thanks, T! You're the best! He even got me flowers too.

Here's some pics of recent projects I've done. I have so many but will only post a few here. The weather has been so beautiful all of a sudden. I can't stop snapping pictures of the kids, the garden, the yard, etc. I love spring!



And here's a card I made today - I had fun at the CK Convention today and used my new supplies. It's for my good friend who I know won't see it posted here because she's much too busy taking care of her new babies... but I miss you!

Layouts and a Giveaway!

Hey everyone, happy Saturday! Here, it's cold and wet. Not at all like May should be. But I'm sure it will improve in time. We've had a busy week and I'm only now finding time to slow down and smell the flowers, even though they're soggy! Here's some layouts I did recently that I actually liked the end result.


And I don't know if I ever posted a picture of these here before, but they are some letters from Say It With Letters that I decorated. I absolutely love the mixed-up typefaces and the the size of these letters. You should go over and check out the Say It With Letters blog because they're having a giveaway this weekend for National Scrapbooking Day! You might win something sweet and you can also check out all the new shapes and kits! Tell them I sent you - have a great week everyone!

8 X 8's

I bought myself a new 8X8 album recently and have since been creating layouts for it. Here's a few I did this week. I love doing small size layouts. So much quicker! (And can you tell that I am loving those American Crafts felt flowers? They're on every layout!)



And here's a picture of the final swap gift I received from Sonda at Self Addressed. Isn't it beautiful? It's a tea tray, but I think it functions just as well as a scrap tray too! I also told her I think it might be a good margarita server. Eh, Deb? Anyway - here's a pic of the front and check out the sides with the rhinestones! I love it!


Only five more days of school! Yipee!
