Thanks for including my December Daily blog post! Now, back to finishing that album ...  :)

Featured Blogger Friday

Many thanks to Toni at Moved to the Mountains blog for selecting me for this week's Featured Blogger Friday!

I love visiting Toni's blog. She never ceases to amaze me with her gorgeous cards. It's always a joy to check them out and read about the adventures of her family - especially her sweet kids (the two-legged and four-legged ones!).

Thanks again, Toni! :)

What a Treat...

to discover my Ladies Night layout featured in the latest Two Peas newsletter! It completely caught me by surprise. :)

Pea Profile

I was honored to have the opportunity to play with a few Making Memories goodies for the Two Peas September Pea Profile. Here are my projects...

my girl - 12x12 layout of Cali. I just love this sweet photo of her curled up in her bed. I mixed the Making Memories products with Bazzill edged cardstock & Heather Bailey fabric.


Close up of the title:

Thanks!

I've had 2 mentions over the past week....

Toni was so sweet with her blog post Cat Squares from Sarah. Very glad to know that Pickle and Aspen are enjoying their new toys! :) Aren't they beautiful furbabies?

The second mention was on a blog I recently discovered called 3,141 Postcards. I've always been fascinated by postcards. Enjoyed receiving them from friends & family on trips and purchasing some for myself as souvenirs (sometimes mailing them home to myself!). So when I stumbled across this blog, I was very intrigued. Carey is trying to collect a postcard from every county in the United States. Here's the one I sent: Raleigh (Wake County), North Carolina.

Thanks to both Toni & Carey for mentioning me!

And, thanks to everyone who stops in to read my various stories and peek at my latest craft projects. :)

More Organization Ideas

I'm on a cleaning kick today. Straightening up and rearranging some of the items in my scrap room. It started off as a small project - working in room for a new album in my Crop In Style unit. Then exploded into "well, if I move this here...and that there..." I think you get the picture. ;) They aren't major changes, but hopefully will help me tidy up a bit and rework my expanding collection of pages & supplies.

If you're feeling in the mood to do a little reorganizing as well and need some inspiration, take a look at these fun blogs that share ideas from other scrappers: Crafty Storage & ScrapScene (I was included in the most recent post on ribbon storage HERE).

Or maybe browse the Craft Rooms group at Flickr.

Oranges and Bananas

It's always interesting to see where blog hits come from. Lately, with Valentine's approaching, my Valentine's Candy Jar post is getting a bit of attention as well as my altered jar post. The latter was mentioned last week in a post on the Orange Exchange blog. If anyone has altered a jar that was inspired by my posts, please let me know. I'd love to see. :)

And, to the other fruit half of my post.... ;)
I think I caught a couple readers off guard with the cauliflower in the banana bread. It was pureed after being steamed which eliminated the typical cauliflower texture. Honestly, I couldn't taste it. If you have any picky eaters, I'd recommend this cookbook. So far we haven't had anything that tastes bad and I am picky so that saying a lot.

Almost Famous

I checked my Peamail this morning (ie, messaging system within Two Peas in a Bucket) and had a message from Janine Grohman. I'm featured on her blog explore, experience & expand your mind today. It's a new blog that I truly enjoy - a chance to "get to know" other talented artists and view their blogs. I was thrilled to get an invite from Janine to take a part in this. Thanks, Janine! :)
