Summer Calendar

Have you ever had a really busy month? My friend's kids go away for most of the summer. She loves to document what they do each day. I helped her create this 7 week calendar page (I printed it for her). She then took different colored pens and wrote in the details of their summer. Each event was a different color. For example- 3 days in St. Louis, 2 days in IA, 7 days in MI, etc. It's really cool to look at this calendar and see how the different days were spent. I know there aren't any pictures on it, but sometimes it's really important to get the details down. I know I'm not the best at journaling.

Little Blessings - layout

I've been on such a creative roll lately. Here's just one of the new layouts I've created. I've put it together in a kit. When it's gone - there's no more. I'm going to try and post a few more layouts soon - but don't hold your breath. As you can probably tell - I'm terrible about posting. Have a great weekend!

When did it get to be October!

Boy am I a bad blogger. Since my last blog, I've been to Charlotte, NC, back to MN, to San Diego, and back here. The last 2 months have flown by. I was in San Diego watching my nephew graduate from Marine boot camp. I'm so proud of him! You would think, that since I live so close to Paris Island (the other Marine boot camp location), that he would get stationed here. But NO - he was in CA. Oh well. I got to spend several days there with my brother, his fiance, and my mom. That was really nice. We kept running the whole time.

Since I've been back, I've been on a major creative roll. I've got tons of new layouts up in the store. I've been working like crazy to come up with classes and cards. I'm really looking forward to getting the card classes started again. Sue is going to be teaching the first one on Oct. 15th. Can't wait!

There has been tons going on in the scrapbook industry. First of all, Scrapbook Studio in Pooler, GA shut down about a month ago. I'm sorry that Cecile wasn't able to make that work. Becky Higgins is no longer with Creating Keepsakes (you can read about it on her blog - entry from September 15th http://www.beckyhiggins.com/blog/

Scenic Route Announces Liquidation Sale & Closure - Another scrapbook company is closing up. If you like there stuff, check out their web site. I think anyone can shop the sale.

It's so sad to see these big scrapbook companies going under. Just reminds us that we have to do everything we can to keep the little ones going.
