Happy Thanksgiving to all my friends celebrating this great holiday. I wish I could be in the US to celebrate, but since I can’t, I am going to embrace this holiday the best way I know. I am thankful… … that my little boy will get to experience his second Thanksgiving (and the first time ...
I recently returned from a short road trip. We stayed in Colmar (a small town in the Alsatian region of France) and using that as our hub, we travelled around other parts of France, Switzerland and the Black Forest. Here are some random observations I wanted to share: We stayed in the Petite Venice area ...
One thing I love about Germany, guaranteed colorful flowers throughout the year.And the town of Munster has some of the nicest pothole covers I’ve ever seen: (I read in a travel photography book years ago to take pictures of these. I try to remember, but don’t always. I’m glad I looked down while I was ...
After doing the digital version of Project Life for 2011, I’m going to try out the paper version for 2012. I think I’ll enjoy having the project in my hands from the get-go and playing with paper. However, the mere size of the PL albums has me a little nervous. I just love that the ...

The first year of the show, was my ...
Seems that lots of people are sharing earlier scrapbooking layouts. I thought I would pull out some of my old ones as well. Now, I did scrapbook before this, but it was more glueing pictures and memorabilia to paper. I don’t consider it scrapbooking in a modern definition of buying specific papers and embellishments. The ...
I really love working on my December Daily albums. Even last year, when I couldn’t do much, I loved it. This year, though, I decided to really spend a ton of time on the foundation pages the month of November so that I only have a little to add the month of December – you ...
This is my third year with the december daily. One of the things that gets me really jealous when I look at other DDs is the cute little phrasing/title-ing/journaling that people do. My solution was to start writing down things I have seen that I like and I wanted to share that with my blog ...
I am ashamed to admit this, but, I did not enjoy making this mini-album. The thing is, I ignored my most basic of conditions for creating mini-albums on the go – don’t do it with a packed itinerary. Last week we went to Paris, I created the bones of the album about a month or ...
