Me, Myself, & Michelle

Thanks 102.5 FM!

As usual, my car radio was tuned to 102.5 today for some holiday music when I heard the DJ give a shout out to Charleston Scrapbooking! It was around noon, he mentioned Charleston Scrapbooking as a great place to support on "Small Business Saturday." Thanks!!

She's officially taller!!

At age 14, Zoe is finally taller than me. (...sigh!)

Hand cramp, hand cramp!

Aaaghh... My hand is screaming. I've been covering diecut pendants with glossy accents... For 125 wedding invitations! Omg, my hands hurt!
Well, at least I'm getting some more crafting in. :)
Hope you all have a very great and safe THANKSGIVING!!

It's not easy, but I know I'm on the right path.

Often I make choices and plans and hope that I'm doing the right thing. In one area though I KNOW I'm going the right direction. God is definitely supporting my efforts @ CSU. He continues to lift me up out of the holes that I keep digging. There is no doubt that I would not be succeeding without His intervention! Who would have thought that car trouble and unbelievably bad traffic could wind up in my favor? So thank you again Lord for your blessings this morning.

"Your Smile Warms my Heart"

I went into our store today and my attention was pulled in so many directions by all the amazing samples that our designers have on display. So, I decided to walk around a little and really look at what's on our walls. (Nicole has been doing such a great job at getting everything up!)
I found this layout near the front door that I think is really sweet!! It made me smile to see a seemingly random photo turned into an important message from mother to son. Her journaling reads "Be patient and kind. Always say please and thank you. Say 'God Bless You' when someone sneezes. But always remember to stay sweet & cute."
I love how scrapbooking is more than dressing up photos or just a creative outlet. It's an opportunity to express thoughts and wishes and dreams and aspirations in a way that means something.
Great layout!!
