taking care of some random things this morning. first up … a layout i did just for fun the other night. these pictures were all photos-of-the-day at one point this month … and i decided to pair them up for a quick layout.

used some much older product on here … which was kind of fun. this was one of those layouts that i wasn't stressing over … or trying to make perfect … or have it live up to any expectations. just a layout for fun … and to be creative.

i almost forgot that today is the day to announce the winner of the express the moments january kit. i got really scientific with this one … i had my 9 year old daughter read through them and pick a winner. and she choose deanna! congrats deanna … get me your info and i'll forward it to kim for your prize!

and some Q&A's for you … a few things that i know several have asked about … and maybe more of you are wondering too.

  • a few people asked about the project 365 kit. i do NOT have my kit yet. i have been told for 2 weeks now that my order is all good … that they were in the warehouse … and that they have indeed shipped. but still no kits. and i ordered for several people at once … so they're left waiting too. i'm crossing my fingers that everything is going to work out … and that they do show up this week. i'll believe it when they're in my hands. lol! in the meantime, i have had my photos printed every sunday … so they're all ready to go once the kit arrives.
  • if you were not able to get a kit … there are still options. becky higgins made a free download for some of the project 365 kit elements … you can find info on it HERE. i downloaded the entire thing .. and them all printed at costco just to see how they turn out. and they come out perfectly. she also has lots of other ideas that can be adapted for making your own kit. another idea is to do a digital kit … kind of like the one HERE 
  • few of you have asked about my camera and lenses. i did a post almost a year ago on this .. and i think the info is all still good and what i'm still doing. you can find it HERE.  

that's it for now. looking forward to all the excitement of CHA today. and i think i said the other day that it started on saturday … i thought yesterday was the 25th. lol! so it's today my friend! also been working on lots of fun little projects .. so i'll be sharing those too.

    Hope you get your kit soon. At least you are on the ball and have everything cropped and printed and readt to go. Soemtimes it takes me more time printing photos than I do working on a layout…I am trying to get better at that part.

    I love organizing too! Isn’t it a good feeling to get something like that accomplished? All in the albums and put away? Great layout!
    Looking forward to the sneek peeks from CHA.

    Thanks so much for sharing 365 link. I saved it. Now I need to find the 12×12 pocket pages and an album.
    Congrats to Deanna!

    The no stress aproach must really work ’cause it’s a gorgeous layout, love it. I sometimes think we scrappers spend as much time organising as actually scrapbooking,lol. What are the letter stickers, they’re cute?
