The reviews are in...

...and it's a HIT!

My cousins LOVED the album, creatively titled "Cousins."  I sent it as a surprise to all my first cousins and they had no idea I was doing it.  I just collected some of my favorite shots and put it together in a 7x5 softcover album.  It was such a cheerful, easy project.  I didn't worry about chronological order, or dates, or who would like what picture of him/herself...and hey, it was the 70s, where all of our parents committed egregious acts in dressing their children.  We survived.

The reactions were great...phone calls with laughing messages, emails, and cards, and best of all, a thank you text message that included the note that I'm going to have to do another one 'cause I have a new baby cousin on the way!  (Perhaps they will name her after me...)

I've run into some snags with Google's "new" way to upload photos, so if you want to see the album, just let me know in the Comments and I'll send you the link so you can see the whole thing.

I'll have more EXCITING news of a limited time offer...stay tuned...okay, I'll give you one hint: 
40% OFF!

It's Official!

I'm a Digitally Endorsed Creative Memories Consultant!  That just means I've learned enough (and taken a test to prove it) to help you with your digital StoryBooks.  So if you want a quick lesson, a one-on-one (or one-on-two, to take the pressure off) class, I'm your gal. 

I'm also happy to create your StoryBook for you.  Contact me through the comments or though my website and I'll let you know how we can start your project.

The important thing is that I want you to hold your StoryBook in your hands! So don't wait to call, summer is coming and everybody will soon be busy with summertime activities.  

Snow in May! And a contest!

Well, we just enjoyed a wonderful week in California Gold Country, "a place quite northwards, it seems" (if you don't recognize that quote, leave a comment and I'll enlighten you).  Anyway, we usually visit Gold Country around this time of year and the only thing I don't love is the heat...but this time, it was pleasantly cool, even cold (to us Los Angelenos, one might even say FREEZING.... which  we did say, until Gene and I stopped in Big Trees Calaveras State Park and not only were there little patches of snow on the ground, as we started driving away, REAL SNOWFLAKES were flying around!  So that was quite an adventure.  I will post the pictures of snow flurries through my bug encrusted windshield in a later post.  So that was very exciting.

Almost as exciting as the prospect of going back to Murphys, California, which we hope to do VERY soon...

And perhaps I will start a new blog of adventures in Murphys.  Let's see, ThePioneerWoman.com is already taken...maybe TheCountryGirl.com?  That's probably taken already, too.  So if you have some suggestions, leave 'em in the comments.  If your idea wins, I'll send you a free album!

Things that make you smile...

I made a StoryBook called "Cousins."  (If any of my cousins are reading this now it is going to spoil the surprise, but it's also a little test to see if they're reading my blog...) 

Anyway, I really enjoyed making this album, because I promised myself it was only going to be 20 pages, a 7x5, and I was just going to put the pictures together any old way.  Maybe I would combine the same kids on the same page, or maybe not.  I didn't worry about chronological order, or including all the dates, or whether So-and-So would think this photo of her was as cute as I thought it was.  I just put it together.  I don't think I've ever smiled so much when making an album. 

And because it's after midnight and it's been a very long day, I can't figure out how to upload pages so you can see just how cute my "Cousins" album is. 

I will try to accomplish that on a day when I have more brain cells, but in the meantime, if you want to see this album that is sure to make you smile, too, then leave a comment and I'll send you the link.  

It is a truth universally acknowledged...

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife...who scrapbooks!

If Jane Austen had been a scrapbooker, I'm sure that's how she would have started Pride and Prejudice.

In any case, I thought it was a great way to start this springtime entry, and speaking of spring, I'm working on some digital pages of flowers.  I hit a snag when I lost the cable to connect my camera to the computer, but I may just find some of my older prints from a long ago visit to the Flower Fields in Carlsbad.  Row upon row of ranunculas...which are much prettier than the name would have you believe!  Anyway, my sister and I spent half a day meandering among the different colors, and about 4 rolls of film each!  Which back then was quite an investment.  And I wish I had some digital shots to share with you.  But that's why I'm hoping to go back next spring (I'm already too late for this year).  However, as soon as I find my camera cable, I'll share some lovely blooms from Disneyland!  Spring is a wonderful time to visit the Magic Kingdom and see what the gardeners have been up to...and it can change week by week, so you never know what surprises you'll find.

So if you have a floral fantasy photo you like, please share it with me, and I'll post it here.

Happy scrapping!
