You know that scrap room I started last New Years? Yep, not finished. As it turns out, I got pregnant right after starting the room and had to stop lugging stuff up 2 flights of stairs to my crop room. Now that the new edition is 9 weeks old (Halloween baby - how cool is THAT!?) I'm right back to getting my room in order. I've recruited my 6 year old daughter as well. The condition she gave me was that she is to have 'her spot' in the room as well so she can scrap with me!

I'm going ...

Well, ALMOST finished! I've still got to spackle and paint the inside of the closet. After I took out the wire shelf, it left pretty nasty holes in the wall.

I think the biggest part of going to something like this is that I'm afraid my 'style' doesn't match up. I mean, I scr...

Totally spur of the moment, but here's hoping I can get in to a 3-day weekend crop NEXT WEEKEND! It will be strange, so many new faces, but some old ones too. People and friends I've known from my scrapbook store. Still hard to see everyone, even after two years of being closed. But I have a TON to scrapbook, and as my new studio room is getting painted THIS WEEKEND, I thought it fun to kick off the year with a treat for ME!! Plus, studio or not in my house, little Ms. Five-Year-Old never l...

Since I got a comment about this, I thought I'd put in a blog post...

You don't need an iPod or any other type of MP3 player to get podcasts. Honestly I listen/watch most of mine on my computer. What you do need is a 'podcast catcher' software - which is free - like iTunes or Google Podcasts or Juice. What that lets you do is subscribe to a podcast, so that as soon as it's available it queues up for download on your ...
