This week I want to celebrate scrapbooking. I'm going to do a series of posts related to scrapbooking. We're even going to have a small giveaway. If you had told me ten years ago that I would be totally in love with scrapbooking I would have laughed in your face. Scrapbooking scared me. I can …
I've been doing lots of scrapbooking this week, and I was able to get a new Sunday dress 90% finished for my youngest daughter. I tried something new on it and was so happy with the results. So was my daughter. The weather is finally warming up, and my children are thoroughly enjoying our back …
