I'm BACK

Hello Ladybug Scrappers,

School is out for the summer and I have made myself a promise to resume my scrapbooking and blogging. I have a lot of unfinished scrapbooks and plan to work on them during the summer. I will post my progress as pages are completed. To start off, I would like to share with you a little hat box I made for a little bitty hat that I have. I hope you like it. ALSO, lets start off the summer with a give-away. Just leave a comment on here and I will announce the winner on Thursday. I will reveal the prize when I announce the winner and will also post some pictures of my progress. Don't forget to check back on Thursday to see who the winner is.

See you on Thursday.

My new cricut tote

It's finally here. My new Cricut Tote arrived yesterday. I can't wait to use it when we go on retreat in Arkansas.

I'm surrounded by wedding decorations

I have finished the centerpieces, corsages and boutonniers, redid the toss bouquet and redid the big vase arrangement. The picture of the vase arrangement is actually the back. Thursday I get the fresh roses for the bouquets and Saturday is the big day. Good Luck to the bride and groom.

It's been a while .....

Janice and I went to Gotta Scrap on Friday to crop and I bought me a birthday present with some help from Janice and my daughter, Carrie. (They are just the best) I have seen this scrapbook luggage before but never for sale; just as demo. Well Gotta Scrap had one left and I purchased it for 1/2 price and no tax. Janice purchased a gift certificate for me and so did Carrie (via telephone) and so my purchase was really affordable. Another bit of great news and a pat on the back for Gotta Scrap, they punched my card for my purchase and the gift cards I used and I got $10.00 of extra merchandise free. I am going back there but right now I am broke. If you look closely, it has four+ separate pieces. The large rolling tote, a smaller hand bag and a smaller sectioned bag plus a 12 x 12 container for paper or a page layout AND a teeny tiny little luggage just for business cards. (Isn't that special.) I just love it..... Thank you Carrie and Janice.

Getting ready for college

I cleaned up the scrapbook room to give me a little room to study. Classes start on 08/24. Here are a few pics of my clean scrapbook room. You may never see it clean again.

Hannah

I loved this paper and immediately thought of Hannah when I got it. Hope you like the layout.

Toss bouquet

Today I worked on the silk bouquet for the bride to use in her portrait and to toss at the wedding. I won't make the actual fresh bouquet until the day before the wedding and won't put it on the blog until after the wedding. Looks like I need to tidy up the ends of those ribbons.
