how come i never heard of this before?!

i just read that this year is the 10th anniversary.

what?!!



this morning while i was doing my blog reading....i was here....and read about this:

how fun is that?!

the trains run across north america. decorated for the season. collecting food for food banks.

i was so sad to learn that the scheduled stop for us was last Friday. that would have been a hilight for some certain children i know.

now that i know about it...we'll have to make sure we see it next year!

and here is a creative post....

came across this today.

if you really want home-made cards....and you love photos...this is perfect!

i had a fun time last night. it was needed after the heavy emotional week last week. perfect timing. i took the plunge and tried organizing a class at my house. i'm still learning how to go about this and do it right. i had made a banner that i thought would make a great class at the store. we'll just say that did not work out. but a couple of friends that wouldn't normally take a class at a store came out. it was a small group and fun to chat and laugh together.

i am nearly done my year-in-review album too. i kept it very simple. can't go wrong with simple. i'll get it in the mail after Christmas....so hard to wait that long! wondering how it will actually look in print.... {you can see two of my pages here - and one page here} i have to say that cleaning up after doing digi-scrapping is not too bad. turn off the computer and walk away! if i didn't have so many scrapping supplies....or loved to create with my hands....i would go to just digital. mostly because i think it is very environmentally friendly....and does not require much space in a home. you can tell where my mind is these days....just wishing that Santa could bring us more space! like that will happen...
