National Scrapbook Month

What a great time to celebrate the ones we love in our paper crafting! Here's the project I have planned for National Scrapbook Month...

Now I realize you may not want a big "G" on your project and that is part of the fun. You can personalize this any way you choose...with your own initial, using a favorite quote or Bible passage, replacing photos with words like "family" or "friends", etc. The possibilities are numerous. Because the photos can be added later, it would make a very nice wedding or housewarming gift also.

I am scheduling workshops now for this project. Contact me if you'd like to participate. The cost of the workshop will be $25 which covers all supplies including a snail adhesive that is yours to keep. If you want to supply your own adhesive the cost is $20.

For my cardmaking friends who are NOT scrapbookers, I would like to point out that the project is divided into 4 X 6 sections so it is really like making 6 cards instead of a 12 X 12 scrapbook page. So you really don't have an excuse not to try it! :)

Party on Campus!

My daughter had a birthday this week and is no longer a teenager! Makes me feel old, but we had fun celebrating with her. Last night was the opening night for a play she is in at college and we took some friends with us to see her on stage & celebrate with her afterward. Here are some highlights of the night...

She asked for a Daisy Rock pink bass guitar for her birthday!

We put trick candles on the cake & were afraid we'd set the smoke alarm off in the Student Center because they filled the whole area with smoke...I didn't post the smoky pics :)

The Gammill family & Kendall were there to help us celebrate. Here's Christina & Erin being silly together.

This is a picture of her & some fellow cast members of The Secret Garden. Christina played Colin, who is actually a young boy in the play.

I have some other items to post on here later today. I have been busy with craft projects and want to share some of them with you. Looking forward to more time in my craft room today!

March Madness

Can you believe this month is all but gone already?! We have watched plenty of basketball at our house over the last few weeks. And we have been on the road a few times for gym meets. We have been blessed to have a dear friend visit us from out of state and we also enjoyed a whole week of Christina being home from college for Spring Break. All this busy-ness has left me little time to craft. I did hide out in the craft room for a day when my BFF Debbie came to visit me & stamp with me. We made some cute cards for her to send to her ladies Bible study group. I have also spent some time in my craft room with a local BFF creating graduation invites for some special people in her life. I am so blessed to have stamping friends! :)

As a mom I feel its my duty to brag a little on my kiddos. Thought I'd share some pics with you that were highlights of ours this month.

Actually, this event was at the end of February. Christina participated in the Miss WBC pageant at Williams Baptist College. Isn't she beautiful?!!!

For her talent, she choreographed a karate routine to the song "Be A Man" from the Disney movie Mulan. She did a great job putting it together & performing it!

On March 12 Andrew competed in the Arkansas Men's State Gymnastics Meet. He placed 2nd all around, but was the state champion on the rings. Here's some pics of him doing his thing! :)

The head you see in the bottom of Andrew's pictures is his coach Darin Grogan. This coming weekend we get to travel to Austin Texas to watch Andrew & his team mates compete in the regional meet.

I'm hosting a Mystery Hostess Workshop on Tuesday, March 29. Hopefully on my next post I'll have pictures of the projects from that event. If you'd like to attend let me know & I'll give you the details. I'm off to the craft room now to prepare...
