had a few things i wanted to pass along while i'm thinking about them.  

project 365 – a preview on becky higgins blog. this is the january KOTM that deneen and i got a sneek peek at on our trip to CK. as soon as i saw this, i knew it was something i wanted to do. the kit looks absolutely amazing … i will vouch for it right now. and the idea behind it … so cool. i have big plans to re-focus some of my scrapping next year … and this is going to be a step in that direction.

"get creative with type" idea book from CK, written by brian tippetts. this is still a pre-order book … but we got a copy of this book while at CK. and it's an awesome book .. with so many great ideas. lots of layouts by some of my favorite designers in there.  

dreamkuts by zutter. how did i NOT know about this tool?!?! thanks to dana for mentioning it in my last post. this machine would have come in very handy a few weeks ago … when i cut over 300 sheets of paper (into 4×6 pieces) for the class i taught. lol! and to think i did all those with my dinky trimmer. there is a video on this link too … you can see it in action. very cool.

photosaver, seen in a jcpenney's ad this week. first off, i'm sure this is available other places … maybe even different brands or prices. i havn't checked into it yet too much … just saw it in the ad and thought it was cool. another thing that i didn't realize was out there. not that i would want to scan in ALL my negatives … but i have a lot that i would love to do. i have 3 huge 3-inch binders full of negatives … all organized by date. and there are so many projects that i really have been wanting to work on … like the girls baby photos. but that was in my film days … and it's not as easy to get re-prints or to work with the poorly cropped photos from back in the day. so to have the ability to pull up old photos … and crop them and print them whatever size you want? that is a beautiful idea! this is on my list.
