Crossing things off the scrapbooking to-do list!

  Good morning to one and all! Or maybe just one ... depends on if anybody reads this! :)
  Please let me know: do you like all the updates I've made to my blog design over the last few days? I found a couple of very cool Web sites that let me do all that for free! Yeah!
  I don't have a project to share today, but maybe soon I'll have some photos to share. I am getting ready to spend most of the day down in my scrapbooking "cave" getting some serious work done. I have projects to work on for other people, I have some graduation gifts and cards of my own to work on (I'm going to try using the paper pack Game On - I have high hopes), and I have an "about me" scrapbook page to make for our Close to My Heart swap. I've decided to use the paper pack You Rock - it could possibly be one of my all-time favorite paper packs. I've also still got those 25 Bella cards to finish. And if by some miracle (speaking of which, don't forget about our Miracle Kit special) that I finish all of those, I've still got my wedding album from three years ago to finish and the scrapbooking workshop on the go for Veranda to finish to show my club next weekend and my album I started making within the past couple of months about my high school trip to New York and D.C. So, I've got plenty to keep me busy!
  I guess the hardest thing will be deciding where to start first. Yowza! I didn't realize I had this much to do until I started listing it all! Does that ever happen to you?
  Two friends are coming over today: Kat and Sonya. I am excited; it should be a good scrapbooking day!
  I'll plan to post some photos as I finish things.
  But now, I suppose I should quit writing this and get to my workout on my Wii so I can start on that ginormous list! Another quick speaking of which: wanting to support a good cause and/or wanting your own Wii? Some members of the Merrick County 4-H Clubs are having a spaghetti dinner next Sunday at the 4-H building. They are also selling raffle tickets for a Wii! Heck yeah! All the proceeds will go to those members who are raising money for their trip to D.C. Please contact the Merrick County Extension Office if you need more information.
   Happy Saturday!

Constantly looking for one place to store all your important dates?

   How many of you have all kinds of important dates running through your head, like birthdays and anniversaries, that you know you are bound to forget? I know I do ... and have. I can remember the random birthday of a college friend's brother or a high school class mate that I haven't really talked to since high school, but I can't remember my sister-in-law's or many of my best friends' special days, and even after only three years of marriage, I'll admit I've even once spaced off my own anniversary and scheduled a Pampered Chef show (it isn't always the husbands who do this!) I've tried storing these dates in different places: I've made an altered rolodex for that purpose, but I never filled it out; I've also used - and even made my own - card book. The one I got for high school graduation, I filled in all the dates, but at this point in time, I can't tell you where the book is. The one I made myself, I don't know if I even filled i

My attempts at photo editing sites ...

Hey there blog readers! I know, I know, I was supposed to be posting more regularly ... I'm sorry. But my garage sale is done, so that means I should have more time to post, right? The reason I am posting today is for that Nebraska Learns class I talked about at the beginning of the month. Nothing like procrastinating - today is the last day I can complete it! ;) I am actually really enjoying this first "assignment." Our assignment was to play with photo editing sites. For my scrapbooking friends out there, I'm thinking this could do wonders for your already wonderful pages! As I was working on my second picture, I had an idea. There are many pictures - like that particular one - that I'd like to include in my scrapbook, but can't make myself create a whole page for a picture of a flower ... but can you imagine putting this photo of the flower on it? I can. How much cooler would that make the page? I could talk about where I was and why I took the pictu
