I have so much for which to be thankful and I really do count my blessings every day.  This month is another opportunity for us to show gratitude.  One of the things that I’m thankful for is Jeanette Lynton and Close To My Heart.  This is a company that truly believes in giving back to […]

I did it!  I created 31 layouts this month, and most of them were double-page spreads thanks to Studio J and the Express Collections!  I’m so proud of myself and excited to get my printed layouts.  Many of them are destined for additional bling!  Can’t wait to put on the finishing touches and then to […]

You can tell I didn’t put much time into the journaling, either, […]
