Better late than never.

12 on October 12th

I tried to do this a week ago but I kept making mistakes. Time flies but better late than never, c'est ce que je dis.

"Simplify"

This woman rocks!

I just returned from a CKC class with Cathy Zielske--I am so inspired to get going and make meaningful pages. Cathy gave us two minutes to finish this sentence:

i scrapbook because...

(this is what I came up with)

I want to make a difference in my family.

I want my kids to know how much I love them.

I want my kids to know who I am.

I want to leave a legacy.

I want a creative outlet.

I want to tell my family's story.

I want my kids to know how much I love their father.

Cathy's quote: " I scrapbook because I have stories and photos and a voice that needs to be heard."

What a lovely person she is--very eloquent, kind to everyone who talked to her, and funny as hell. Thank you, Cathy, for reminding me to simplify and to remember why I scrapbook.

I figured out why so many people are visiting my blog...

Someone has erroneously posted a link to this blog on their site, announcing that I was giving a digital scrapbooking kit away. I am very sorry to say that this is untrue. In fact, I have no idea how to use a digital scrapbooking kit, let alone design one.

I'm sorry to disappoint you but I hope you all have a wonderful day.

Bonjour, tout le monde!

I just discovered that people from all over the world are visiting my website. Hello, guten abend, bonsoir, buenas noches, konnichiwa, etc...

Thank you for visiting my blog. I hope you are having a nice day in your corner of the universe!

(Please ignore the fact that I look like a phantom in this video--it was recorded under duress in the wee hours of the morning and under very harsh lighting conditions, i.e. my kitchen table lumieres.)

Speaking of weddings...

JAM is back!!!

My favorite TV couple is back and engaged! I'm sure this season will not be completely hunky dorey for them, but I am rooting for them nonetheless. This is absolutely the best show on television!

The Office returns!!!

I haven't been this excited since my wedding day!
