Just a quick note since it's been a while since I've checked in. Life is so strange, you just never know what's going to happen tomorrow...or even today...or even in the next 5 mins. as I sit here trying to destress from my busy work day. Scrapbooking is my passion and has been for well over 10 years. Amazing that it was 18 yrs. ago that I started "scrapping" and I'm still going strong. This wonderful hobby of mine will remain close at heart forever...I truly believe that! Now I'm looking forw...

Wowie! That's got to be a record for me. Although, I suppose it makes sense since we were married at the end of the year in 2006 and I was thrilled with all my wedding photos. Couldn't "stop" scrapping them! I'm going to Tina's this weekend for our Scrappy Weekend and I hope to get 10 layouts done. I'll have to get better at posting them.
