My husband is the coolest

Some husbands bring home flowers, mine suprised me with a brand new Mac notebook computer.  Too cool.  Thank you honey :)  I'm pretty sure I'm loving this a zillion times  better than a bouquet from Publix.

Why Scrapbooking Matters

It matters for a lot of reasons - but if you want to read a really inspirational blog entry by none other than Stacy Julian herself, then click here and if you're anything like me then get a couple tissues too - this one had me all emotional in a sappy happy kind of way.

Our Annual Ritual

Every year in our family, we get dressed up in matching outfits and head to the beach at sunset for the Scott Family Christmas Card Photo. Last night we got a jump start on the holiday season! Here's a preview:

  

Yeah, I could have photo-shopped Mac's face if I would sit down and finally learn photo-shop; but I love that the pictures aren't completely perfect - they always show a bit of our personality - some years we have more personality than others.  And Mac always has personality!

There's a scrapbook page coming about this one.

Journalers Junction Challenge #94: Who What Where When Why

Here's a quick one about my dad, he died 5 years ago this week and he's been on my mind:

And my margins & everything in real life are super straight but because I take a photo of my layout rather than scanning it, the image gets a little cocky-eyed.  Trust me its super straight IRL.

Here's the link to the journaler's junction challenge blog.

I wish I could have you come to my scrapbooking room because I've convinced myself that because its organized that its ok that I have more stuff than any human could ever use in one lifetime.  I woke up today with this thought:  Purge Baby Purge.  Thats what I'm going to do today.  Serious deep down purging of scrapbooking supplies.  And why should you care?  Because I'm going to sell it dirt cheap at the Scrapbooking in Paradise Yard Sale on November 1 (if I can still get a spot).  Go here for all the details.
