2 blog trains and new release

Lookie Loookie!! I know this has been in the store for about a week but I have been so busy at home I have not had a chance to post it. Adele, one of my CT members made this awesome 20 page 12x12 album with my "In the Neighborhood" kit. It is shutterfly ready and comes with front and back covers and spine. Just plop in your photos and have it printed. Easy peasy and super cute!!! Click here or click the preview to pick it up.



If you are here for the "Spring Blossom" blog train scroll down. All others check out this month's mega collab kit at Pretty Scrappy!

This month we went all out, got a little funky, and had a BLAST making... FUNK-A-LICIOUS! That's right, a wild and crazy kit that just begs you to let your hair down and get funky!

Click the previews below to see more!





I loved this kit so much I just couldn't wait to play with it! Check out the 2 layouts I did with "Funk-a-Licious."




I wish I had a brag book freebie for you but my daughter has been up all night sick and I need to give my husband a break and take over. To keep things rolling...

AVON Walk for Breast Cancer + Blog Train

I’ve committed to participating in the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer. It’s a big commitment, one that will require me to spend the next several months training and fundraising. But breast cancer is a big disease, one that still affects far too many people, and I’m determined to do everything I can to help put an end to it. The money I raise will be managed and disbursed by the Avon Foundation Breast Cancer Crusade to help provide access to care for those that most need it, fund educational programs, and accelerate research into new treatments and potential cures. I’ll be just one of thousands of people that will walk up to a marathon and a half over a weekend, raising awareness of the cause and educating even more people.

My inspiration for walking

My grandmother, who we called "Meeko," passed away in December of 2004 of breast cancer and my sister and I would like nothing more than to walk in her honor. She was an amazing woman and lit up the room with her smile. I miss her dearly and only regret not getting to know her better and if she were here today I would ask her so many questions and listen to all her stories. I only wish she was here to see her great grandbabies although I know she is watching over them from heaven. Meeko, we love and miss you. Mimi and I are going to walk that marathon for you in hopes that our fund raising efforts can help make a difference in preventing, treating, and ultimately finding a cure for breast cancer in others.

I have committed to raise at least $1,800 for this cause and I can’t do it without your help. If you would like to see my personal Avon Walk page or make a donation, click here.


If you are here for the blog train, look no further! It is time again for blog train! On this blog train you will collect an absolutely HUGE kit designed by countless designers. No, this is not our monthly Pretty Scrappy blog train, that one is coming in a couple days but here is a sneak peek!

Here is my part. I included one blank recipe card and one with my favorite recipe! Every Thanksgiving and Christmas I make "Pumpkin Rolls" for my family. They are delicious and I always have requests for them. Trust me, this is one you have to try! Here's a tip... when you take it out of the oven, make sure to spread the mixture and roll it up quickly before it cools or else it can crack. Use lots of powdered sugar to keep it from sticking and ensure it unrolls without getting stuck to the wax paper. This recipe yields 16 servings (although it's really 8 if you serve larger slices) Here is a picture of the finished product. Yummy-licious!
