The One with 10 on Tuesday

1) I'm only 20 posts away from my 1000th post! I've been working on the 10 handmade books I'm going to give away on that special day like a madwoman any spare second I have.

The One with May 28th 2011 in Review

My birthday was top drawer! (That's a British expression, btw.)It started early in the AM with opening some prezzies.

The One with May 2011 American Crafts Layouts

I guess there are only a handful of things I blog about. My life. My baby. My scrapbooking creations. Occasionally I'll throw in a random story or bit. Welcome to my simple world!
