I have had my first layout ever published in a scrapbooking magazine! Check out the June issue of Scrapbook News and Review!

Pieces of Pages

GUESS WHAT???? My family is coming to visit me tomorrow!!!! They'll be here (in shifts) for 2 weeks and I am very excited to see, for example, this sweet thing:

I love these pictures of Chloe -- she is so playful and fun! I busted out my new Basic Grey Kioshi collection for this layout as well as the next one.

In these next two layouts I used Crate Paper's Prudence collection and embellished them with handmade and Prima flowers and Jenni Bowlin buttons.

For this last page I used scraps from Basic Grey's Periphery collection for my "why I scrapbook" layout:

That's it for now. I suspect that I won't be blogging much when visiters are around!

7 Years of Married Bliss

We celebrated our 7th wedding anniversary last week with a low key dinner out at Terra, a nice little place here in Albuquerque. We usually take a trip for our anniversary (especially since it lands on/near Memorial Day weekend) but this year we are saving up for a trip to Hawaii in the fall/late summer.

So we spent our long weekend (ok, it didn't feel very long because I worked every day) at home and went to a picnic with our friends from Faith Church.

Who is that handsome man in the distance, running like a gazelle? ;D
