Life in General

Hello dear friends and family.  I am so sorry for the length of time between posts - things have been so crazy (and not in a good way).  Life stresses have taken over and I find I am having very little time to play and/or be creative.  I am truly hoping to change that this weekend.

I have another blog candy give-a-way coming this weekend - so make sure to check back and see what I am offering for June :)

I hope to share some pages and pictures of the new grandbaby too.

Take Care!

I love to look at other people's blogs.  I am constantly inspired and amazed.  My only frustration is when I go to a special blog that is suppose to have numerous links to other scrapbook and stamping blogs and it is no longer there or has not been updated for months. So....I have decided to take on a new challenge.

I am going to create a new blog site that has multiple crafty lists that are current and frequently post.  This is where I need your help.  If you would like to be listed on this blog - please send me the following information.

First and Last Name

Email Address

Link to your blog/site.

Category you would like to be included in:  Stamping, Traditional Scrapbooking, Digital Scrapbooking, Hybrid Scrapbooking, Sketch/Challenge Site, Photography or Miscellaneous.

Please send the information to:  craftylists@gmail.com

I hope to have the site up and going by the end of the month.  I will keep it current and remove links as they become inactive or disappear.

If you know someone who might want to be included - just drop me a comment and I can email them too.  I hope you will join in the fun!

Changes are Beginning...

For over a year I have wanted to design a more creative header.  Something I could identify as me and keep for an extended period of time.  I have practiced, redone and changed my header more times than I can count. Now....I can finally say I have made one I want to keep for awhile. Tell me - can you tell I love dragonflies?

I am also working on putting together a great blog candy for my 45,000 hit mark.  Stay tuned, I should have it posted in the next couple of days.  I will be scrapbooking all day Saturday (naturally) and will have some new pages to share with everyone on Sunday. 

What are you going to be doing for National Scrapbook Day? Leave me a comment over the next two days and I will randomly pull a name for a set of the new My Little Shoebox stickers (5 Random Colors). 

Want to see what they look like? Well...here you go!

MLS-08411-2T Have a super day and check back Sunday night to see who won this candy and find out what my next candy is going to be!

1st Pages of Bridget

Well I did manage to get a few pages done of our new grasnddaughter, Bridget.  I can now say her book is officially started.  I have taken so many photos that I should probably just buy a photo album and place them all in that (but that's not as much fun).

This first page is called OUR NEW DAUGHTER - I used 4 pictures of her contraction monitor and the a picture of their new addition.  I envisioned something different in my head - so it didn't turn out exactly how I wanted - but, live and learn - right?

Our New Daughter
Next up is a page of Michael with Bridget.  She wasn't even minutes old and he started calling her his PRECIOUS LITTLE MUNCHKIN.  I know that had to be a title for the page.
Precious Little Munchkin
Finally I have another page of Bridget and her parents - simply titled ANGEL.
Angel
I just sent some new photos off to Costco of Bridget and Michael -  and hope to scrapbook them next week.  Michael is always teasing me that my pages always include Tiel and the kids and he really wanted some too.  So I am making an extra effort to include him in as many as I can!  I captured this one the Sunday after se was born while they were sleeping.  It is one of my favorites :)
Michael and Bridget Sleep

This week I also noticed my blog counter is almost at 45,000 hits.  So in the next few days - I am going to post some blog candy to celebrate.  Check back to see what goodies I will have!

Have a super day!
