Well, obviously, my internet has been down for some time now! Now that we are back in the swing of things- I'm not sure where to begin! Scrapbooking is going great- of course and after my son's 3rd birthday, I will be going fully digital! StoryBook Creator has some awesome new page layouts for digital story books. Christmas overlays, doodles and swirls can now be ordered and can be recolored to match the page! Way too cool.
My sweet boy recited his first memory verse to me the other day- Matthew 28:20- It was the sweetest thing. He was just hanging out on the kitchen floor and came out with it, "God is with you always". So how could I get upset with him for not taking a nap or wanting to help with dinner??? Not only that, but he has learned the Pledge of Allegiance and dinner blessings! What is it about children repeating "big people stuff". Maybe it's because they are so genuinely innocent about the whole thing!
Take advantage of the scrapbook dates to the right- you could truly get some early Christmas shopping done on October 9 at the Crop or Shop!

Major Help!

Tina!!! Need I say more? Thank you sooo much for helping me with this bolg design- you are awesome. To any of you out there who are thinking about starting a blog for any reason- contact For Goodness Sakes Blog Designs. She is amazing. Props to her. I am excited to be entering the "bloggin" world. I am learning more about the digital and traditional scrapbooking world- For those of you out there who think "That's cute, but it's not for me-there's no way I could do that". I understand, I have been there. Just start with getting your pictures in order-chronologically or by person- whatever works for you. It is so important to your loved ones, if, God forbid, you were not there to tell them one day. Going through my grandmother's attic was so hard- there were TONS of old photos (old timey black and whites). People in soldier uniforms- who were they? what war did they fight in? It could have been General Custer himself and we wouldn't have known!! Don't let your families history go unnoticed. Check out my crop schedule for times to work on this- now you don't have any excuses!!

Pass It Down

I am completely new at this whole "blogger" thing- but I would like to give it a try. Please excuse the mess until I can get a grasp of how to edit and design these pages. Thanks for your patience!!

"Pass It Down" can mean so many things- but for now, for me- there are two main ideas to pass down. I truly believe that we have to pass down the message of God's love to our children- this can be a"cruel world" as my husband has put it, and they need to know that above all else-that no matter what, God loves them- He always has and always will! Next, I truly believe that in today's society, children are looosing their identities and striving to make one of their own, break the mold, figure out who they are and where they came from. It is our responsibility to make sure they know their lineage. I love to scrapbook- while I am no Amy Teets or any other professional- I do want to leave a message for our children about their family history. My pages are simple and done very quickly- but they get the point across. Creative Memories has make this much easier for me to do this, so I decided to become an independant consultant for them. This way, I know that McCoy and Baby #2 don't miss out on a thing!!

I host crop nights monthly at my house and am doing my best to bust into the digital scrapbooking world. Below are dates of upcoming events and crop nights- please feel free to contact me with any questions!!

Join me in Passing It Down- I have yet to meet a person who isn't interested in a good ole fashion picture book- especially when it is all about them!!

Why put is off?? Because Someday is not a day of the week!
