Featured Layout on Memory Makers!

My layout "First Snowfall" will be the featured layout in their Idea Gallery on December 7th! I just love it when they pick my layouts to be featured. It is the second one that I've have featured.

First Snowfall

Well, technically, we had some flurries about a week ago, but today was the first snow you could actually see in Nashville. It flurried on and off for most of the day but the ground was too warm for accumulation. But, lucky Ron was working at the new camp property, Latimer Scout Reservation, and he had "measurable" snow. It coated the ground there and he sent us pictures which I promptly scrapped!

I'm a terrible blogger! But I'm a much better Scrapper!

OK, so I'm not good at doing anything on a regular schedule and this is yet another proof! However, since I have a few minutes I thought I'd update my blog.

In October I became a member of Digital Scrapbook Place's creative team - Digital Elite Team. I am so honored to be scrapping for some of the best designers on the web! Here are a few of my most recent layouts. I hope to post them here on a more regular basis!

Tri-State Crop

I just got back from a "Laptop Crop." For those of you not familiar with digital scrapbooking, a Laptop Crop is where digi-scrapers go to scrap with friends. This crop was hosted by my favorite website, Digital Scrapbook Place. I finally got to meet some of my online friends in person! We had a great time playing games, eating snacks and even doing a layout or two. I'm looking forward to attending another crop soon! Oh, and here is one of my layouts from the crop!

This is the Harriet Beecher Stowe house in Washington, KY (our crop was next door in Maysville). I drove through this lovely historical community Saturday morning before the crop. I want to revisit it with Savannah because she has a huge interest in the Underground Railroad and I think she would enjoy it. Thanks to designer, Elizabeth Weaver (back row by me) for the digital scrapbooking kit I used in this LO. She gave us lovely freebies for attending the crop. And also to Tina Chambers for the word art.



By the way, Savannah thinks its cool that my "digi-friends" are now "real" friends. Well, I think it's kinda cool too!

First Things First

This is my first post, and as such, I'm just trying to figure out walking through this new world of blogging! Well, it's new to me...not the rest of cyberspace. I figure that if my mother has a blog, so should I! And since she figured it out on her own (no offense, Mom) I figure I can do the same. So, if you want to, check back for photos and musings and other stuff that I'll have to create to fill this space.
