Come See Me at the Library!

Pardon me for a moment as I toot my own horn a little:

I am happy to announce that my scrapbook talents are being displayed right now in the Blount County Public Library in Maryville, Tennessee. That is where I work part-time. We have displays on the shelves at the circulation desks and the current displays are centered around a scrapbooking theme. My work, along with work done by my supervisor, is there on those shelves for all the world to see (well, at least our little part of the world).

So, if you live in this area, please come by and see our stuff. If you want, pick up a business card; stop by our little cafe for a smoothie, latte, or scone; and take a look at our beautiful facility. If you are lucky, I might just be there, too. If I am, please say hi. I'll be glad to meet you!

Friday Foto Finish Fiesta

Time again for another photo for the fiesta!

This is a picture of a friend of mine and her precious "baby belly"!

Scrapbook Retreat a Success!

Wow! I can't believe it has been two weeks already since the retreat. I have been so busy getting my kids ready for school that I haven't had much time since I got back.

I also lost internet access for two weeks, so I am really behind. Sorry I haven't yet posted pictures. I'll be sure to do that soon.

The retreat was so fun! We had 13 of us there, doing nothing else but scrapping, eating, and a little sleeping. It was a great time of relaxation as well as much creativity going on.

If you were not at this retreat, I hope you will join us for the next one. I am in the process now of getting a date set: probably sometime in January. Check back and I'll be sure to let you know as soon as we decide on the date.
