(2) I signed up for Twitter in June 2008 and am finally in a posting groove. I added the recent update widget over on the left or you can follow me here.

(3) Designer Digitals Quarterly Sale began last night and runs through 6am Eastern Tuesday. 30% off everything in the store plus 16 hours of chats and freebies on Saturday.

Have a wonderful weekend!

    Wow... it's amazing how a "simple" collection of photos (LOs) combined with words can be so incredibly moving and bring on so much emotion. That first photo of Simon & Anna is amazing ... the kind you make a great big canvas of and hang on your wall!!! Love this post ... I did a page recently on "why I scrapbook" and it took some time to find the right words. You just made it look SO easy!! ;)
