Alot has been going on this past week. Brooke finished her last day of kindergarten on Thursday and I just cannot believe that her kindergarten year has come and gone. I was a little sad all day Thursday thinking how quickly time is passing us by. Friday we had well child doctor visits for the kids and so we suffered through 5 shots (4 for Connor and 1 for Brooke). Afterwards we went rollerskating which the kids love. They both have roller skates and they have loved learning the last few weeks. Today was a fun and relaxing day at the pool, the highschool graduation party of a friend and dinner at Ghengis Grill - a really yummy Mongolian restaurant. Tomorrow we have Brooke's Sunday School Kindergarten graduation and I'll be back with pics of that. Then we'll be ready for a restful Memorial Day...ahhhh...!

On the Scrapping side of things here is one LO I did with Sara Amarie's new Be Amused kit. You can pick it up this week only at Sweet Shoppe for 20% off AND you will get her Be Amused Abby Album for free! It's a great deal!! Also, check out Sara's blog b/c I made a Quick Page out of this LO for her blog re-grand opening and you can download it there!

Well, it's been a while, I know, but I've been pretty busy here of late getting some digital scrapbooking "stuff" going. About a month ago mypictales.com advertised over at DST that they were wanting to purchase some completed baby albums to distribute to OBGYN offices and hospitals to advertise their photo books. Well, being that I've only done one "traditional" baby album for Brooke I just went right on past the ad but it just kept niggling at the back of my mind. I went ahead and contacted them and asked if I could have a week to put one together. The very nice owner said that would be fine so I started designing the book in quite a frenzy! I submitted the book and this is the response I received,
"Oh my god, Amy! I cried when I saw your Birth Story. I can't tell you how beautiful it is. Thanks
for sending it to us in our preferred way. Taleweaver is the best way for us to get this album because we don't have to redesign the book."

Once I finished with that project I started the
legwork on offering a class for digital scrapbooking. So many people have asked me to tutor them and finally after all the arm twisting I decided it was time to do something about it. So, I'm trying to get the details ironed out so we can get some more people scrapbooking - the digital way that is!

On top of all this I was accepted to two ne
w Creative Teams so I've been trying to get caught up on my LOs. I'll share several with you here from the fabulous designers I'm working with. If you click their names it will take you to their stores so you can do a little browsing. We'll start with my newest first designers first.
