Photography Giveaway

Hey guys!

Those of you who know me know that, in addition to scrapbooking, I am totally and completely obsessed with photography. Recently, I discovered an awesome giveaway on one of the blogs I frequent, http://hopskipjumpkids.com/.

Brooke Turner Photography is giving away a free photo session. You can read all about it here. I've checked out some of Brooke's work, and she is amazingly talented. If you're interested, be sure to enter, as the contest closes in just a few hours. I know I'll be entering! :)

Awesome Giveaway!

Hey guys!

I wanted to take a rare moment and post about something non-scrapbook related. Shocking, I know! Hang to Dry is a company that makes adorable, personalized applique t-shirts for kids. Now, I'm not sure about everyone else, but we southerners are total suckers for monogrammed, personalized items, especially for our kiddos.

The awesome part is that Hang to Dry is currently giving away a year's worth of customized tee's to one lucky winner through their Etsy shop. You can read all the details and see examples of their adorable products here.

Enjoy!!

Yes, I'm still alive...and I want to give you a prize!

Okay, it's official. I am the worst blogger in the history of the blog-o-sphere. Well...maybe that's not entirely true, but I'm high up on the list. What can I say? Life has been crazy, and more poor little blog has been sooo neglected. I promise to try and do better though, so let's just start fresh, okay??

To thank you for sticking around and following my humble little blog, I want to give you something. A present. A token of my appreciation. And what, you may ask, is the catch? Well...I'm hoping you can join me tonight while I host a Speed Scrap at ScrapMatters!

If you've never been to one of our speed scraps, you are totally missing out! It's an opportunity to chat and catch up with your fellow scrappers, while having fun AND creating a fantabulous LO of your own!

It starts at 9:30 p.m. EST in the ScrapMatters chat room, and here's a look at the awesome participation prize you'll get for completing a LO:

So, if you're not busy, please plan to stop by. I promise you'll be glad you did. :) Now, in keeping with my new resolve to post more frequently, I'll be back tomorrow to show you all the fun hybrid Valentine's Day goodies I recently made for my family. Hope to see you tonight!

ScrapMatters Blog Train

Hello everyone and welcome to your next stop on the amazingly long ScrapMatters blog train! You should have arrived from Rachael's blog. I hope you've been enjoying the ride while picking up some fabulous freebies made with the awesome new SM collab kit "Many Thanks," which you can get for FREE with any $20 purchase now through Nov. 11.


We've been asked to share with you some of the things in our lives for which we are thankful. It's tough to narrow it down to just one thing, but I'd have to say I am most thankful for my amazing family. This year has been particularly tough, as both my dad and grandmother passed away within a few months of each other. And as hard as this year has been on my family and me, it has also made me appreciate them more and realize just how precious our time together is. Tomorrow isn't promised to any of us, so it's important that we make the most of each and every moment. Here's a shot of the fam and me, minus my hubby who is behind the camera. :)


We have definitely had to depend on one another in many ways in this last year and, as a result, have grown much closer. And, although they still drive me a wee bit crazy from time to time, I truly don't know what I'd do without them.

Alrighty, enough about me and on to the real reason for your visit--the freebie! Woot! Here's a look at the cute little frame cluster I made for ya. Just click on the link to download and enjoy!
