May Class--Wall Hanging Layout

I love teaching scrapbook classes and I'm always looking to share innovative and FUN ideas. In that spirit I came up with this layout which I'll be teaching in May. It's a single-page layout with room for three photos. It's designed to be a wall hanging, but can just as easily be slipped into the page protector of your favorite album. You can find full details and descriptions on the Scrapper's edge website here.

Easter

Had a low-key and relaxing day, so different from the excitement and anticipation I remember feeling as a kid. Lunch at Grannies was with great company and not lacking in moments of poking fun at parts of the meal, ahem, desert. A drive out to Willow Creek + meal #2 = me ready for bed asap! Before we left, Dorothy saw to it that I left with a gorgeous bouquet of Spring's offerings which immediately found themselves plunked into various vases and jars, cheering up a little spot in the kitchen.

Flowers by the front door!


What a lovely treat it's been to have these little guys (as pitiful as some may look) throughout the winter, waiting to greet any and all who find themselves at my front door.

in the air

It gently rolls in on the midnight air....that familiar scent, so soft, so almost not even there. So I breathe it in, again, deep. Yep, it's there. Don't know how they do it, they almost don't even exist...the scent I'm talking about is that garden scent. My little plants are waking from their slumber, ever so slowly, but surely!

Every day I spy some new growth and I don't even know when it happens, but it's really cool to see. It's really my favorite part of this whole gardening thing, to see what comes back, little surprises every day.
