When it comes to picking out a handmade mini album, we have 10 page and 20 page mini albums, depending on the amount of photos you have to include!!  I have a few styles available right now - and each are made with even the smallest of details that make each album unique!  As my oldest son Ryan said the other day - even if I use the same supplies on projects, they won't ever turn out the same!!!!  LOVE I Love You I have a few albums ready to go now - here are details about each album: LOVE - white, yellow, browns, with daisy embellishments throughout the project!  Front cover flips out to be able to add journaling or photos to, with plenty of interactive pieces through the rest of the pages. I Love You - colors used are mauve, pink and ivory with heart embellishments on a total of 18 pages that are ready for you to add your photos.  Not only you get the heart embellishments on each page, you also have titles on each page as well!   Cam...

Today is my "babies" birthday - 24 years old!!!  Casey and his sister - are 2 of those things I did right in life...in spite of everything I did wrong!  He taught me how to laugh, how to live again - he taught me that God really does have a sense of humor... and if he would have been my first - he would have been my ONLY child!!!  LOL I remember going into labor on Christmas night - spending all night in the hospital - had an amnio the very next morning to see if his lungs were okay...  I had already had one with lung problems, and we knew he was going to be born early...so they gave me steroid shots to make sure they got developed okay!  Born 6 weeks early......he's a fighter for sure!!! Born the day after Christmas - my sister 4 days before...  She told me when I had him not to include his Christmas presents with his birthdays - and never to wrap his birthday in Christmas wrap!!!!  He gets everything one time of the year - and nothing the rest...

Scrapbooking through the hard times - I'm not sure if you have thought about it or not...  I used it for therapy when I really needed it the most, and as I look back - it really helped me when nobody else could or "would" shall we say!  In the last 4 months - I have lost 3 very special people in my life - my cousin who was just younger than I am (by 3 months), my namesake (she was 100 years old), and my father in law (recently and unexpected)!  Unexpected deaths - it makes you think twice about life, and yet sometimes it helps you see the forest through the trees and exactly what is more important in life!     I learned this time - how to be a support system to someone - who simply didn't know what to do or how to feel for the moment!  I discovered it's not always about you, but instead what you can do to simply change things...be there...help!  I really found out what it is like to look at someone and judge them based on who they are, no...

I am having a fun time in planning my creative and work space, and picking out fun products that will help me to be organized better!!!  Plus the rest of the things I am in the process of making and planning that is certain to help - I almost can't wait for the beginning of the year with all the progress I am doing now - to see what my space will end up looking like by the time I am done!!   I have my passwords book done - ready to add the little things I need to save, such as passwords, web sites - things like that!  I have my planner done - but working out the little details such as the pages and the paper clips is still going on!  And I am working on my month to month pages that will help with getting more paid off, a budget - and more accomplished!  I really can't wait to see what all I end up creating and buying to organize myself!!!! I recently stumbled across Thirty One Gifts , which has organizing products and purses!!!  They have a ton of diffe...

I am a very unorganized person - and procrastinate with the best of them!!!  When I have a project to do - I wait until the very last minute to get it done, we won't even talk about mailing things out!  That said - I am hoping some of the little things I am doing right now - will help me to get more done, and remember more details!  A username/password book to keep all of my details for the web sites I like to go to! ( Done - pic' s attached here ) Finish up my planner pages, especially the little details, such as the paper clips and stamping on the pages! Monthly dividers to keep track of all aspects of bills and payments, as well as other "house" related details that won't fit in my "planner"!   A n event planner book - to help keep track of things I need to get done for things like birthdays, holiday's , anniversaries!!!  I am an organized - unorganized mess , but with these little projects in the works, I will be organized with everyth...
