And now for some more digi work...

Here is the latest layout from the Jessica Sprague class...I liked this one a lot and I learned how to space my text neatly on pre-designed lines...LOVE that! So now I have two layouts done of Kel for the year...just 10 more and I will have a little Christmas present done for the Grams and Aunts! Woo Hoo!

And the winner is...

No one! No one guessed correctly on the pumpkins...partially correct, but not entirely. The correct answer is...#1 is MS glitter, #2 & 3 are glass glitter. The MS glitter is SO vibrant & shiny...almost too much for me, but Kel loves it!

So, since no one guessed it and there were three of you who answered, each of you gets one of the jars of glitter! Next time I stop by SBU, will drop them off for you all!

Which of these is not like the other one?

So for Halloween, I decided to pull out the glitter and have some blingy pumpkins for the table. We bought several little cuties on Saturday just for the occasion! I used some fine glass glitter from the Art Institute of Glitter in lovely Cottonwood, AZ and I tried out the Martha Stewart glitter from Mike's. On her show, when she used her glitter, she stated it looked just like glass glitter. Well, here are the pumpkins, do they look the same to you? I have a little prize for the person who can tell which pumpkin(s) have glass glitter and which pumpkin(s) have MS glitter on them. Just leave me a comment with your guess. I'll do a drawing of all the correct answers.
What are you playing for? In organizing my glitter collection, I found some duplicate colors (what a shock!). So just in time for Halloween, I have some yummy purple and amber glitter to giveaway.

While on a shopping excursion this weekend with some friends, we realized that several of us have recipes for broccoli chicken divan. We all call it different names...some serve it over rice, some serve it over noodles, and some put rice in it. This is my family's take on this easy, yummy dish. (And we serve it over rice.)

579. That's how many days it's been since I've posted on here. Is that some sort of new record?

After discussing our mutual lack of blogging, my friend Christine and I decided we would start being good about this whole blog thing. But more than just having self-indulgent talk about ourselves, we are going to challenge ourselves to really DO SOMETHING CREATIVE EVERY DAY.

I've been stamping this (from Paper Source) on the backs of my greeting cards for awhile and Christine loved what it said. So, today is the beginning of doing something creative every day (or at least every week) for us!

Today, I started Jessica Sprague's online digital scrapbooking class and was able to create this layout in no time! OK, so really, I only had to crop, type, and move elements onto the layout...but it's my first one and I love it! It was much easier than I thought it would be! So for today, I humbly offer my first ever digital scrapbook layout. I might even be able to get those Christmas scrapbook presents done in time with this whole digital thing now!
