This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Newport Beach for SocialSpark . All opinions are 100% mine. Wow - take a look at Newport Beach, California - where "SoCal sophistication" meets "laid back beach town"...can't think of anything better for my vacation this year - that's for SURE!!!   Newport Beach  is sure to have just about anything for anyone - family or couple alike!  My sister goes to Newport Beach usually once a year or so - and loves to just sit by the pool and relax for sure!  As I was looking around, I made sure to check out this video - can you just imagine yourself there!!!                                                           Take a look at the web site and check out the "Things To Do" section - so many different things to see and do that it just simply amazed me!  For me, I'm not sure if I want to go shopping or just sit down by the beach and watch the surfers and ...

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Whitney Farms for SocialSpark . All opinions are 100% mine. Memories are more than just the events in your life such as birthdays and holidays - it's about the time spent getting ready for summer time, whether you are gardening or planting flowers for the house to look good - or what you are doing!  I like flowers like this that you can add to the areas in your yard you are in the most - whether that is your backyard or on the front porch!     With Whitney Farms® , they are a full line of 100% natural plant foods and soils to help the things you want to grow - and make them even more beautiful than you can imagine!   They have organic soil and organic plant food to help you get big, beautiful flowers and fruits or vegetables!  With over 25 years of experience you are sure to get this and more from Whitney Farms® : -low to no dust -no manure odor -easy to apply -...

Today you will have Claire who is in my Memories in Tyme blog hop group and is one of my admin's!  I couldn't go through a hop without Claire and now love seeing the face behind the name!  So, that said, let me introduce Claire at http://www.scrapmyway.blogspot.com/ and make sure you go check her stuff out!   If you need to find me,   I'm HERE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ******************************************* Well, this all started on Sunday when Lynda asked me to create a page or project and be a Guest Designer on her fabulous blog. So, you can see me sitting here with some of the scrap book material I "THOUGHT" I was going to use with the fun note cards that I received as a gift from my Daughter-in-laws Mom. Since she knew I have creativity running through my veins, she said,  "I saw these and thought of you,  but knowing you,  you'll probably be able  to create something with them"! GUESS WHAT......I DID! I decide...

This is me and my husband Del - my knight in shining armor, the man who has been by my side for 12 years now.  With us is my daughter and son from my first marriage...two of the best kids I know, in spite of me being their mom.  We have been married for 8 years now, one of the best things I could have done for myself.  Del was the one person who gave me the courage to be me - and the courage to start Memories in Tyme!  So, to celebrate us being together for the past 12 years, the challenge is for you to create a "he said/she said"  album of your own, with your husband!   Pick out two of your favorite photos, I placed them right after the title page - in number two and three page spot!  Everything else came after that...adding up to a 20 page mini album.  I added things like family/siblings, marriages, food, and other types of comparisons.  Yours can be what you want them to be, not necessarily what I have here - our situation was differe...

Mothers Day is right around the corner - why not spend some time making one of a kind - handmade cards for your mom this year!  This type of gift is great for those "moms" that might not be your own, or friends that are special and have done a lot for your, maybe someone at work that has been a "mother" to you...   For this pack, I made 4 cards, and then tied them with raffia to create the look shown.  The envelopes are inside the card to make it easier - and each of the cards have a blank space in between to be able to create your own type of saying, or hand write something for them directly.  Personalized handmade gifts like this do not take a lot of time, but they sure end up meaning a lot to those people who you end up giving things to!  Make things up ahead of time, instead of waiting until the last minute like I do!   I hope you enjoy your Mothers Day week - and that you make a lot of fun gifts for your gift recipients!   Lynda Jeffs Mem...

I love getting ideas for things that are easy to do - either for myself, or to make as a gift...  This idea was found on Better Homes and Gardens Mothers Day Photo gifts article  and I am telling you there are so many different things you can do with this and I can't wait to get started on one myself!  Make sure you check out the other fun things they have, some of them are really awesome - and truly one of a kind!  I love the fun patterned papers, the awesome frames with the embossing on them and the great colors!  This could be done in so many different ways - I can't wait to see what you all come up with!  Fathers Day is also coming up - don't tell me your dad, husband or brother wouldn't love something like this!   Make sure you share with me your fun creations you are making for gifts this year - it's not about the money spent but the moments shared when you make something for someone else!   Lynda Jeffs Memories in Tyme
