No posts!

I did so good last week posting something almost every day. This week, well....not so good. It's been a busy week. My husband is away on a business trip so my evenings have been busy running here and there with the kids. I'm also busy preparing for a weekend scrap retreat on Friday. I'm trying to figure out what to work on and geting some sketches ready. The more prep work I do now, the more stuff I can get done this weekend! I'm super excited to have an entire weekend to do nothing but SCRAP!!! Yea!! I will post pictures of my creations next week, so stay tuned!! I'm in charge of bringing snacks....hmmmm....what should I bring??? Decisions, decisions.....

Until then here is a picture of me and my sister at her baby shower. Everyone LOVED the baby book. A few people commented that they'd like to hire me to do one for them!

2007- A Year in Review

Here's some pictures of what I did with the inside of my Japanese Stab Binding book. I still have a few more pages to finish. This will be a fun little tabletop book to have and share with people. It will be nice to glance through it and think back on 2007. Enjoy!

MemoryWorks Warehouse Sale

Well, I don't have my "2007 Year in Review" book completed yet, but I did get 4 more pages completed last night. I have plans this evening, but hopefully Friday I will have everything completed so that I can post some pictures.

I just love posting something everyday, so for today I decided to send everyone over to the MemoryWorks. This past week MemoryWorks did inventory and put a bunch of items on sale. I'm sure they are trying to clean things up before bringing in new merchandise this spring (yea--new stuff---can't wait!). Although many items went SUPER fast, there are a few great deals left. Head on over to my MW website: http://sarahsines.memory-works.com and click on "Our Products" and "Warehouse Sale". There are a few Express Kits on sale for $25 & $35 along with lots of other goodies. I'm placing a group order on Friday so anyone in Eastern Iowa that wants to place an order--let me know! Happy shopping!

Cosmo Cricket laugh

I've been doing so good at posting one thing each day that I just couldn't skip a day! Last night I worked on the inside of my Japanese Stab Binding Book. I'm SUPER excited about it. I think it's going to be really fun to have. I've only completed 5 pages so I'm going to hold off on posting pictures until I have more completed. Hopefully tonight I can squeeze in a few more pages. They are super quick and easy--stay tuned for pictures tomorrow!

For today's post I thought I'd share with you a cute blog. Cosmo Cricket is a brand of scrapbooking products. They're stuff is super cute! I also love the marketing that they do (sorry, it's the Marketing major in college coming out in me!). Someone on the MemoryWorks consultant message board posted a link to their blog the other day.

Make sure to look back at previous posts to see the whole story on Jon the warehouse guy. It's really cute (and HE'S cute too!!).

The Kite Runner

I finished another book today--2 in one month!!! I know it's not a lot, but for me it is. I'm really trying hard to find time to read more. So far so good!

Since I liked A Thousand Splendid Suns so much, I decided to read Hosseini's other novel--The Kite Runner. Although not quite as gut retching as the other novel, this was also a very good book (don't get me wrong there were many many moments of sheer horror in this one too!). I feel like I have learned so much about the Afghan culture by reading these books. I know that they are fiction, but there is so much truth in the actions and politics of the books. I would definitely recommend both books.

I don't go out to the movies very often but I just noticed that The Kite Runner is out in the theaters right now. Unfortunately it is not playing in Cedar Rapids. I will have to check it out once it's out on DVD. I'm sure I'll like the book better (it's always better in the book!), but I would like to see it anyway.

Watch Baby Grow!

My FINAL page in the baby book!!! Each month my sister can pick her favorite photo of the baby and place it in the appropriate box. Each box will hold a 3x3 photo.

I hope some of you found some good ideas for easy 2-page layouts. Change the colors and they can work for any occasion. I'm super excited to give this gift to my sister. I hope she enjoys it! Now I can get back to scrapin' some of my own pictures!!!! Yea!

12 Months!

I decided to add one last page to the book. I just need to glue it together and it's complete. Hopefully, I can get it done today and post later (although, the laundry is piling up and the house is a mess!!!!). I hope everyone is staying warm this weekend!!!

Months 7-11

With the help of a Friday night crop session at the local scrapbooking store---I completed 5 more pages for my sisters baby book.


Month 12 is almost done. Check back later today for pictures!
