Jen from www.Indiefixx.com was having a 2nd Anniversary Giveaway and I WON! Got the package today full of super super cool indie goodies and so far, I can't pick a favorite...well, yes I can, it was the fabulous bracelet with glass beads made by Tiffany Rose..You can shop for her jewelry here at www.inlovewithsaturday.etsy.com

Here's what it looks like!

My sister had to put her dog down since he had gotten very ill...it's been a year since he started having issues and problems and she & bro-in-law had to make the painful decision today to let him go to doggy heaven....very painful time and we are quite sad for him and for them...not only was he a beautiful, sweet, lovable and extremely gentle dog, but he was the BEST dog/non-human companion we'd ever met in our entire life; HE will be missed EVERYDAY ....REST IN PEACE KAZI- WE MISS YOU!!!!!!!!!

This was my favorite layout today courtesy of www.pencillines.com {Ania} Love the hand cutting and the ribbon quality and of course, the rich colors! Beautiful!

Scrapping last weekend at the Kreative Junkets crop and having birthday cake too! Anna, Lynne, Brenda, and E joined me and we had an absolute ball and yeah, I did manage to scrap about 3.5 pages; I tried to do the flip flop book but believe it or not, I was stumped on it; will have to go back to it when I can concentrate! Met some new friends-Hi Ginger & Kathy! See you guys next month!


Anyway, it was E's birthday & in betweeen cropping, we did the birthday thang! Also, everybody gave their congrats and kind words to Staci T for being published this month! Not one, but 2 layouts!! You can check her out @ www.createmykeepsake.com
Long time ago, her husband had mentioned to me that she "scrapbooked when she had time" but he never mentioned how talented she was :( Pretty funny how low key he was about the whole thing :) I had never scrapped with her before so I had NO IDEA... Hope to scrap with her sometime.
