  • i'm not sure why it's taken me almost a week to write about alyssa's 8th grade graduation ceremony. it was such an awesome night, and i was so proud of her. i'm actually more emotional now, then i was that night. i held it together that night, and only got a little teary eyed about a half…

  • since the new issue of scrapbooking tips & tricks is coming out, how about i share something from the previous issue, scrapbooking tips & tricks: organization issue. i was asked to work on the "organize to create an album" article, and decided on making an "everyday album". three designers came up with a basic shopping list…

  • i had a few layouts go up on the jillibean soup blog today. they are totally different layouts, about totally different stages of life. first up, is the "parents-to-be" layout. these are a few photos i took of my cousin brad, and his wife raiza (or, issa, was we call her). alyssa and sarah were…

  • i know i said i had something fun to share today. something that was scrapbook related. turns out that is scheduled for NEXT friday. lol! my bad. it's understandable that i'd get confused, since there is SO much going on right now. and yet it's totally not understandable, since one of my bff's gave me…
