Another weekend scrapping
Critters06-Queen-Hattie, originally uploaded by gardenwife. Yay! I pretty much spent the whole weekend at Scrappers Gallery. As usual, I spent more time talking than scrapbooking. Still, I’ve done a few more layouts for my “Our Critters” mini album. You can see the rest of the pages at Flickr by clicking the thumbnail of this Queen [...]
First page of my pet album
I’m putting together an 8×8″ album just for photos of our pets. This is the opening page. I made the dog out of leftover scraps of mulberry paper, gluing the tiny bits onto a drawing I made first. His eyes are two small brads, partially covered with mulberry paper pieces. I’m tickled with how he [...]
Favorite Pushing Daisies quotes this week

Marketing 101

New page: Teshy Goodness John Tesh page
We’re huge fans of John Tesh and are going to see his Alive! Music & Dance concert in Cleveland on October 23. We’re so excited! We’ve been fans since before he was cool. He is cool, right? Oh well, we’re in our 40′s, so coolness is not so much a criteria for us. Actually, it [...]
