Weekend Scrappin'...

I love when I have uninterrupted time to spend in my scrap room. Yesterday was one of those days. DH watched football in the den and I scrapbooked. I have a nook in the basement as my scrap room, so I can watch TV and spend time with the family while I scrapbook. Yes...I have it all :) I created a project for my lss design team (Our Princess) and a few challenges for some of my fav sites, Creative Scrappers, Creatively Yours, and Scrapperie.

Congrats to my blog giveaway winner...

Anne Marie!!!!!!!!!

A toot for me...my layout, "My Snow Girl", is featured in the December issue of Scrapbooking.com magazine. Woohoo!
