I saw this over at ali Edwards blog and this has never rung truer to me than today.

I love organizing my scrapbook space almost as much as I enjoy scrapbooking! I probably DO organize my space more than I actually scrap, at times! I have a narrow office space filled with too much stuff... I think I just keep shuffling stuff around the room to try and get that airy, clean feel that never comes. Maybe it's because I have too much stuff in it to begin with! Ahhhh.... a light bulb moment. My next big goal is to empty out that space and put only the things I absolutely. love. into it. This is going to be a challenge!

When I have a spare moment I will get to that and will post photos of the before and after.

In the mean time go and order your issue of Creative Spaces by CK and enjoy free shipping!

The Creative Connection

Good day to you all!

Just to let you know, if you didn't already, that The Creative Connection event registration is now live. It's being held in St. Paul, Minnesota September 15-17, 2010. There will be lots of fantastic speakers and demonstrations, etc. I so wish I could swing it. Kids are in school for us in the north east and I just don't see how I could possibly get out there. But, if you are lucky enough to be able to go... check it out here. It looks like it will be an amazing, fabulous, creative event!

Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers out there! We are so influential to so many people in our lives - especially our children. My mother-in-law is always telling me that the mother is the glue that holds a family together. This is a day to remember how much love our mothers have given us and how strong and loving, warm, and giving our mothers have been. I am so thankful and blessed to be a mother and am thankful for my mother, my grandmothers and all the women who have been in my life. My mother lives a long days drive away from where I live.  I often wished we lived so much closer so that we could get together more often. Even for just an afternoon tea.  Even though she is far, I will always feel near to her. Here's hoping you have a wonderful mother's day and can spend it with your mother, whether in heart and mind, near or far.

p.s. Here's a link to some yummy and pretty flower-shaped pancakes. If you're so inclined to cook a Mother's Day breakfast... these would be nice.

hugs and love,
