Quick update.............

about what's going on with me. I'm anxiously awaiting September 18th. This is the day the October issue of Memory Makers magazine will hit the shelves. I'll have my first hard-copy magazine publication in this issue & I'm a tad excited. I went to Michael's today in the hopes they had it out already, but I didn't find it. But then again, I don't like how Michael's displays their magazines.....you have to search in about 10 different places before you "think" you've looked at them all? Anyway, here's what the cover is supposed to look like, so if you see it in a store, send me a quick note.

I did some more cleaning & rearranging in my scraproom. This is a never-ending battle for me & wouldn't be if I could control my spending. But that's another post in itself. I kept seeing this wonderful stamp storage idea & since the box was bought at Target, I was sold on the idea. Of course, it took me forever to find the box, since they never said the name brand & I didn't find the exact kind. Instead, I did find a Cropper Hopper box, in the scrapbook aisle. It's a collapsable box, so you won't find it sitting pretty on the shelf, I found it hanging on a hook, inside a box (go figure). Either way, I'm still a little confused on what they're doing? They are taking their stamps & putting them inside CD cases. I have a slew of CD cases, but all of mine have the little circular indention on the inside where my CD sits. So, how are they getting their stamps inside? Not to mention, my CD cases are not thick enough to hold stamps on each side & close. It's was so terribly confusing that I ended up putting all my October Afternoon stamps & some smaller stamps in the Cropper Hopper & kept my Autumn Leaves & Lil Davis stamps in my Sterilite drawer. Still not sure I'm sold on the idea, so I'll keep you posted.

I have been busy scrapping. I've done some 11x8.5 layouts & I've been doing cards. I love making cards. I usually have no one to give them to, but I love to make them. Here's a little look-see at a few things I've done recently.

This was made using mostly stuff from a couple of Jenni Bowlin kits.

This is just another page for my BOM. I got the basic design for this from someone else. I did change it to suite my taste, but I can't take full credit. Unfortunately, I don't remember whose idea it was. So if it's yours, please let me know, as I always want to give credit.

This week will be like starting school over again. Ashlyn was sick last week & missed 3-days. That means we slept in everyday & lounged around the house. Now, we think Camryn is coming down with something. Definitely another busy week ahead of me!!
