The My Memories program is so easy to navigate and I was able to begin creating a page within minutes of competing the download. I primarily make photobooks now, but have always been disappointed in the fact that you usually can't add embellishments with many online photobook programs. The My Memories Suite had preset "photobook" type pages that I could then personalize with embellishments as well. So simple and quick! The pages can be saved in several formats so that you have many options for printing--a huge plus for me as I don't like to be stuck with only one choice! One downfall for me was that the the printed books that you can purchase through the My Memories website are only in square sizes. This small problem does not overcast my excitement for this wonderful product though--definitely something every digital scrapbooker should add to their tools!

Craft room!

So our "guest room" is now more of a "craft room!" Since our old table was just sitting in the basement, I dragged it upstairs to use in in the corner of my craft room. This doubled my counter space and gave me more room to store things in view. It's easier to be creative when you can see what you have to work with!

More Christmas Cards

I love this huge medallion stamp! Thought I'd show off a few of the super easy cards I made using it. These cards will be for sale on November 14th's craft show.

New chairs: a before and after story...

Finally had a chance to get working on the chairs last night! I've had the fabric sitting here for over a week but really have not had a spare chunk of time to take these apart and start the redo. So, I put on a movie (The Business of Being Born which is wonderful and educational and great!) and got started! Aaron was out helping a friend organize his garage so that he can store his new motorcycle there so I took over the living room! I have two more to finish today sometime. I took a break to watch some TV with Aaron last night and we both fell asleep! After that it was straight to bed that's for sure!

Here's our before and after (the yucky yellow is before, people!)!

Ribbon Ribbbon Ribbon!!

I took my first trip to Fabricland this week!

Someone on Freecycle gave Aaron and I a wonderful table and chair set and I needed to get fabric to redo the upholstery on the chairs. I never knew there would be so many choices! I was there at least a half hour to pick two types of fabric. Howeevvverrrrr, while I was browsing I ran into a huge stand of ribbon that was buy one meter get THREE meters free. Um hello!?! Who is not going to do this! So I dragged at least fifteen different colours to their cutting table and left with a huge pile of wonderfully lovely ribbon!
