Mini Albums for sale - $25.00 each I am not sure how many of you are like me - where you have so many good intentions, but you just simply don't follow through with what you want to do LOL!!!!  Or I start the project - but don't finish it in time to put it in the mail to those I have made it for!  Hopefully this next year will be a bit different for those in my life that I want to know how much I love and appreciate them!   In the next few weeks - I will be doing a lot of behind the scenes planning for January, the web site, and the business in general!  I hope by the time I am done - everything will start to fall in to place for next year!  I have put my dreams aside and on hold for a long time, between "people" and "issues" those things I wanted to do were the first to go!  No more!!! A few fun challenges for you for th e upcoming weekend , pick and choose what you want to d o!!! Look at your current supplies, and make SOMETH ING !!!!  It ...

Today is Thanksgiving if you live in the states, where you spend time with friends or family (both???) eating a ton of food for sure!  It's all about togetherness, love, putting differences aside, and simply being grateful for one day at least!  As I sit down today, reflecting on my past...and what is in store for my future, I simply am amazed! Reflections.....wow, so much to actually be thankful for, so much growing, so much learning - so many doors shut finally!!!  I am excited for what is next - what I have worked towards, and how I simply won't settle for less anymore!  Along with that - Memories in Tyme is changing a bit...with more goals to bring out the things I want to - and putting to rest that in which I can't simply do right now, and the wisdom to know the difference !  Life is about moving forward - learning - GROWING!!!   T oda y, while you are with friends an d family - take a small notebook and pen with you - jot down the funny things th...

My dad died on 8/5/2004 - 3 days after my birthday, 5 years to the day after my ex-husband committed suicide!  I hate the day - I hate the week - I hate the month...and I simply will never be the same again because of this one set of events!  I miss my dad - more than I ever thought I would, I am more like him than I thought I was, and yet - after a random conversation today with my mom - I realize I am like her in ways as well!   It would have been my parents' anniversary today - I called to wish my mom a great day, and simply wished my dad one through the angels!  I thought about growing up - and how lucky I was to have both parents in the same house, let alone living in the same house my whole life never having to move!  I thought about going out to dinner on their special day, always something nice!  I thought about never hearing my mom and dad argue at ALL - in the 50 some- odd years they were to gether!  I learned love - and once I found T...

A few weeks ago, I had a post up about Tiny Prints , you can see the original post here if you missed it!  I love having fun coffee cups around and have quite a few of them already !!!   I decided to order my husband a personalized one from Tiny Prints , and I am glad I did!  He had gotten his first "fun" mug from my daughter, then the handle broke around the time I was looking at the site!  I decided to order him one that was really personalized to him, and one that he simply would LOVE!!!   Ty is our m ama cat - she has been around us since she was born!  She is simply a feisty woman who has her own personality (and my husband wrappe d)!  She has only had one set of kittens - our boys Hank and Bear!  When I seen the various mugs from Tiny Prints - I simply had to order one custo...

I remember sitting one day with my daughter, we were talking about my scrapbooks!  She stated the little albums were easier to learn on - but also great for more pictures than what would fit on a traditional scrapbook page!  I took that to heart, and started making more smaller albums - and I really liked to do them!  I have 2 styles of mini albums 6 x 6 sized - 10 and 20 pages!  The albums shown here are 10 inside pages - full of extra features just for you!  Each album is one of a kind - no two will EVER be alike, even IF I use the same supplies for each!   Right now - I have 2 albums ready to go, once paid through PayPal (or cash given if you live locally) - album will be in mail!  Free gift with each purchase!!!   Flowered striped album (pictured above) - piece in the front lifts up, to allow for journaling or photos!  Inside has 10 pages ready to add even more journaling and photos to!  7 pages for photos - 3 pages with a...

My favorite die cut machine right now is my Cricut machine!  I don't have the newest version (pictured above), m ine ( pictured below ) is one of the smaller versions they have!  If you are wanting a die cut machine - the Cricut machine has been around for a long time, and evolved over time as you can see!    I simply love the die cut shapes I can make with the machine and cartridges I have right now!  For me - I use more alphabets than I do anything!!!  With the holiday season coming up - this can be a wonderful gift to ask your significant other for - and for other reasons too:   If you have kids - this is one of the best things you can purchase for those school projects they always have!   Great for any paper crafting project you like to do such as cards, scrapbooks, gifts, and decorations! You can use paper, chipboard, magnet board, fabric to cut shapes out - as well as vinyl!   Can truly help to make projects and gift...
