I have been scrapping the last couple of days and had to share my recent layouts that I haven't posted in a while. I'm trying to compile all of Kaity's layouts chronologically...what a big chore! I'm trying to get caught up as she'll be starting preschool this fall...YIKES! Where does the time go? So, my big project is to really organize her layouts starting with DAY 1 of her life and get all the journaling on my layouts to order a baby book for her. At this point I do NOT see this getting completely DONE by the time preschool starts...but we'll see! =) Of course, I'm also trying to stay caught up with pics I've recently taken....and redo some layouts that frankly just needed HELP in a major way. Some I just started over with! =) That's part of the beauty of digital....even if I have to toss out a layout I haven't wasted any materials! =) Gotta love it! =)

Enjoy the layouts......click on the images for credits.

Wow...it's been a month!

Well, time certainly has flown! I can't believe it has been a month since I've posted here...good grief! I have a few pieces of "NEW" news! =)

1) We completed our homestudy meetings on June 11th and the 25th. We are now waiting for the final copy to be written. Fortunately, they agreed to just do an update on us which meant less meetings and money! Works for me!! =)

2) We have a required course we must take on drug affected babies and the place that conducts these clearly needs to add sessions! We can't get in until September unless there is a cancelation! This class was waived for us last time because of the rushed nature of it.

3) I got a PM (private message) from a scrapper at Go Digital Scrapbooking that they are using my gallery as inspiration for their "Scraplift Challenge" for the month of July! I'm totally flattered and completely SHOCKED!!! lol I'll be excited to see what people come up with! (Click to see the thread, my gallery link is there)

4) I entered a layout for publication in The Daily Scrapper Issue 11. I just got confirmation that it was accepted! The publication is already out and mine is called "I've Got a Ticket to Ride". (click to see the page in the issue) I was surprised to learn I get a free kit out of the deal! SWEEEEET!!

5) I just got an email this morning that another 6 8x8 books will be added to my account, which means they will be FREE! All I pay is shipping! =)

I'm also a Guest CT for Sarah Bennett this month. I chose her new "Let Freedom Ring" kit and I love how this layout turned out! You can see her kit in the store HERE and if you like my page you can get it as a QP along with a really cute one that Sarah did herself on her BLOG!

Well, I'm off to the Farmer's market, finish my "flag cake" for the 4th of July BBQ later this afternoon and then fireworks tonight! =) Have a Happy 4th of July!
