It's been a LOOONG time...  but, I think it's time to start again.  Some of this, a little of that...thoughts, creations and whatever else comes to mind.  So much has changed in our lives...in 1.5 weeks, I will have a SENIOR in high school, a freshman, a 7th grader and a 5th grader (both in middle school).  I am an almost single mom, working almost 3 part time jobs, none of which are nursing (amazingly and sadly), and trying to be the best I can with what I have.  Daily it is a struggle, daily I have a thousand things going on, or at least a thousand thoughts and so much to do with no time to do it.  BUT, I wouldn't give it up for the world.  I have 4 reasons to be the best I can be each day and I love them more than life itself.  I am grateful to God to have them in my life every day and know that these days are fleeting (sometimes faster than I can even keep up).  I have one year left with my oldest.  ONE YEAR!  Then she will be off to college and our lives will be forever changed again.  I still have that one year though and although she is a teen, it will be (mostly) good.  I will love them all and spend as much time as possible with them all...they are my heart.  So bear with me while I struggle through these times.  I will be here thinking and writing about it all...even if no one reads this anymore.  So here goes...

Totes To Go

Score Big with Embossing!

Ever wonder about the white core showing through when embossing?  Here is an excellent explanation of how to use embossing folders with CTMH cardstock.  As you watch the video, take note of the different aspects of our new embossing folders (especially the lined one) and how beautiful they look when used with our cardstock!  Also note the special design feature of our embossing folders (hint, you can emboss borders!)  Enjoy!

I LOVE Becky Higgins and her Project Life series and now CTMH has outdone themselves with our NEW Picture My Life program that ups the ante!  Check out all the wonderful aspects of our program and stop dreaming of finished scrapbooks and HAVE them!  Plus, you can use the extras for lunchbox notes, cardmaking and traditional scrapbooks!  So many uses!
