Thankful

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving weekend and made it through Black Friday! I have much to be thankful for and I feel truly blessed! I have to give a special thanks to my scrap buddy, Zandra. I've worked with her for years, but have had the wonderful opportunity of getting to know her as a person! She is one of the most kind, selfless people I've ever known, and last week, she brought me this big bag of Making Memories stash. Now, this is some major scrappy eye candy, don't you agree?! Thanks, Z!!

Here's a layout I made using just a tiny morsel of this stash! It's based on a sketch over at 52 Sketches, 52 Weeks...

Hope everyone has a great week...it will be Christmas before we know it!

Scrap Heaven

A little birdie on a scrapbook forum told me that Scenic Route is going out of business (Boo!). I love their stuff! Well, to keep from drowning in my sorrow, I went to their website and dove head first into their clearance section! Nine days later, sitting on my front porch, was a box bursting with 13 pounds of pure scrappy goodness. Here's a peek at part of my new stash!

And I must give a shout out to the best scrappy buddy ever, who always manages to find the best deals and includes me in them...my supporter and enabler, otherwise known as txzrock (Zandra). Thanks for my goodies. The occasion? Just 'cuz she has the biggest heart ever! You're the best!

To add to all of my excitement, my first ever layouts were published this month. And, I found out this past week that I had more acceptances for publication in Scrapstreet.com and Scrap N' Art magazines.

Wow, I am basking in scrap heaven! Thanks for everyone's support!!
