You Know What They Say About April Showers.....

I do not like blogging without a picture. I promise, you won't see it often. But now, that I'm back from two Spring vacations, I am right back into the busy-ness at home and online.

But, I want to shout about the fun kit that I'm working on for the May 1st release at Scrapti!ty! It's another winner! And there will be sooo much inspiration this month of May, on their forum. So, if your not registered yet, I recommend doing it now. There are no commitments or obligations to do so,....just lots of ultra-cool ideas! Here's the link: Scraptiv!ty's Member Forum

Online crop links found here

...and some NSD specials here

And come back May 1st for the reveal....

Blessings!

All in a Days Work

In the middle of a time of travel, taxes and Spring Fever, I am afraid that my scraproom is being neglected. Thus, this blog is neglected, as well.
