Lauren got a Tinkerbell costume for Easter, and now she's obsessed with being a princess. It's really cute because she has never liked to dress up, and she's a total tomboy. I'm so happy that she likes something girly! She runs around in full garb singing "I'm a magical princess!!" at the top of her lungs...it's hysterical :)

This is my beautiful sister and her wonderful husband. In case the journaling is too small to read, it's from Corinthians, Ch. 13; "Love is patient, Love is kind, It does not envy, It does not boast". I made this word art a while ago with some other famous & inspirational quotes, and this is the first page I've actually used it on. Thanks for looking :)

it is love...

Another page I put together using my own goodies :) This picture of her cracks me up, it's pretty rare that she smiles for the camera, so this one definitely earned a page. Thanks for looking!

Cherry Vanilla

Hi everyone :) I know it seems I've been MIA lately...and it's not because I'm a slacker, hahaha... I've actually been totally engrossed in teaching myself to make digital scrapbooking kits that any time I've spent online has been with PS tutorials. Teaching myself photoshop has been one of the most challenging and rewarding personal experiences of my life. It has definitely had it's ups and downs, and when I started messing around with photoshop back in October, I really had no idea how into it I would get. Everyday is a new challenge, and I still have so much to learn - I feel like I haven't even scratched the surface of what the software is capable of.

Anyway, here is my first page using only my own designs - it's from the first kit I created called Cherry Vanilla. I really hope to show the kit somewhere soon, and will let everyone know when and where I show it ;)

I really need to get online and make up for lost time in all the galleries and blogs, I really miss seeing everyone's awesome work, and will visit soon :) Thanks for looking!

Oops!

Hi everyone,

I was just going through my e mail and deleting my spam folder, when i pressed delete I saw a message from someone with the message line "I like your blog" (or something along those lines). Before I could get it back, it was permanently deleted.
So, whoever you are, I apologize! I didn't get to read the message, and I would feel terribly rude if you took the time to e mail me and I didn't get back to you...i lose a lot of e mails that automatically go to my spam folder :(
Please feel free to e mail me again, and hopefully I will get this one. Thank you again for taking the time to write, I always appreciate hearing from people :)
