It's so exciting to see my book making it's way to your homes. Thank you everyone that has posted, texted, and called me about it, I appreciate your support! My prayer is that this book will draw you closer to the Lord and break down any of those "I'm just not creative" ideas rolling around in a lot of our heads. (If you haven't got a copy yet you can pick one up here on Amazon: http://amzn.to/2tNDDp0, Barnes and Nobel and other retailers.)

We've had such a busy week with Vacation Bible School and visiting with family that I was completely surprised by receiving an advanced copy of the book I wrote during November and December last year.

I was super excited to show my Grandma it when it arrived since I had dedicated the book to her.  She was the person in my young life that was crafty and creative and she took the time to share that with me.  -Thank you Grandma!

I'm so excited to share more about the book as the launch date draws closer, but in the meanwhile you can see more about it on Amazon: http://amzn.to/2tNDDp0

Phew! I'm back home and recuperated from a FUN, FUN, FUN weekend away with my girlfriends at Ready, Set, Create.

I have a lot of projects to share with you and I figured the easiest and quickest way to do it is to whip up a video, so here you go:

 If As I finish up projects I'll post them here on my blog.  :)

Here's the rest of the pages I did this past week.  These are also for the set of Circle Journals my girlfriends and I are doing. 

For these pages we had to answer the following questions:

• What's your favorite color?
• What is your favorite animal?
• What is your favorite body of water?
• If you were in a white room with NO windows and NO doors how would your feel?

We had to answer each of these describing at least 3 feelings.

I ended up answering the questions in a little matchbook and inserted it in the page protector. I just used my craft knife to add slits to the plastic so I could pull the cover and page inserts through.

Inside the matchbook...

This was fun to do.  I've been doing so many pocket pages when I scrapbook that it was fun to do full pages.  

I actually scrapbooked this week! Woo-hoo! 

Now, I will be the first to admit that these are not super guilty pleasures...they are more like some of my favorite things.  I mean, how can tacos be wrong?!

This pages are for the continuing set of Circle Journals my girlfriends and I are doing.  I added an extra page...I have a lot of "pleasures"!

Here's the front...my pups!

And here's the back...just some of my favorite arts and crafts.

And here's the final page...my favorite scrapbooking snack: peanut butter filled pretzels and mini M&Ms....Lappert's Mango Sorbet (I get it whenever I'm in Hawaii)...Coffee, of course...and Hugo's Tacos!  

And I love traveling...whether by foot, by air, or by boat!

Also, in this Circle Journal there's a check-in page...so here's what I made for it.
