More entries...I promise!

So I have been dragging my feet about updating my site.  I have been doing lots of scrapping...some even for me!  On Jessica's second birthday, I was up to date on her album.  Now of course, I need to make an album of pictures from her special day.  I had all of her albums out for family to check out durinng her birthday party and I was so proud.  I love this hobby and I love what it will mean to my daughter when she is all grown up to be able to see her life through my eyes. 

I am going to start teaching more classes at Scrapbooking's Inn.  I would love to teach more layout classes but I am worried I am not qualified.  I let my pictures determine my layouts; the colors, the paper, and the embellishments.  Although occasionally I have found paper or embellishments that dictate what I decide to do.  Prepping to teach a class forces me to break out of that box.  So that is my goal for the fall...atleast two layout classes.  Maybe Halloweenie?     

I have also been making a lot of cards recently.  I refuse to buy cards and if you saw my crafting room, you would know why.  I have so may materials and tools, it would be silly not to utilize them.  Plus I really like cardmaking...its like a small creative sprint.  I created the invitations to a good friend's baby shower and they got rave reviews!  I have also already started working on my Christmas cards this year! 

I know this site should focus primarily on my paper crafting but I feel like I need to talk about the things that drive me to create.  My friends and family are so wonderfully suportive of all I do and I love them so much for that.  My daughter is a huge inspiration...I feel like I am forever trying to create something as beautiful as she is, and I know I will never reach that goal. 

Music is always on in my home and I have been listening to Sara Barielles recently.  I know her first album by heart and even though her second album doesn't come out until next week, you can get a sneak peek at in on the internet and I am so loving it.  I think in the future I will be adding a special page about music and all it inspires me to do.  Stay posted!
