The sneak peaks of the Hip 2B Square main kit & add-on kit for September have been posted here!
I can't wait until they arrive so I can start creating with these fantastic kits! So excited about how the add-on kit will work with the main kit!
Here's a link for a lot of templates that could be useful for scrapbooking. Thanks to Chris for that info! I think I may need to use the dress form for something... maybe fashion show pics? The champagne card might be cute for something, too!
Here's a layout I made with a lot of paper piecing, hand-stitching & machine stitching. I also used one of Bryn's Webkinz tags for the "yard sign." While she can't have real dogs & cats because of her allergies, she certainly makes up for it with the "stuffed" versions...
And... MANY, MANY thanks for the "happy mail" we received yesterday! I received the SWEETEST letter & an iTunes gift card from Bekah... thank you SO MUCH, my friend! You are just SO kind & thoughtful! Bekah is a great example of a young woman living life in a positive way. I am always impressed by her devotion to her church, too.
Then on the same day, a surprise package from Sarah! She sent the layout she made for me + some scrapping goodies AND some scrapping supplies for Bryn, too! She wrote a little note for Bryn on the back of a photo of her puppies...
You should have seen the smile that came across her face when she saw the photo of Maui & Hilo. The girl is ALL about babies & dogs!
I am constantly feeling so thankful for everyone I have "met" through this FUN world of scrabooking. I NEVER in a million years would have thought that by creating my blog almost 2 years ago, that it would be such a blessing in my life. Your kind words, positive thoughts & funny comments ALWAYS make me smile & for that alone... I feel VERY lucky!
awwww such an awesome post! love the goodies you got from Sarah and love that cute layout! That kit looks pretty yummy!
TGIF tomorrow! yaya!
ARe you doing the online SIS crop?
I haven't signed up, but it is only $10.00 if I decide I want to do it this weekend.

Ummm, the kit and add-on looks YUMMY! And your LO is adorable...of course ALL your work is! I love all the sweet little details and the stitching! Too cute!
YAY for happy mail! Always a good day when you get treasures in your mail box. Looks like Bryn scored! She looks so pretty in the pics...she has the bluest eyes! Gorgeous!!!
You asked about my neck/back...its getting better. Most days are good ones but I can tell when I overdo it. When I get the all clear to work out again then I KNOW I will be better! LOL! I miss it soooooo much!
Hope you have a wonderful weekend! xoxo L

Yay! for happy mail - and those photos of Bryn are so so happy!!!! Glad you enjoyed the templates but wait -- I found another one of a shoe!!!!! It's 3dimensional - you could actually use it to hold candy or ?
Sounds like you are having a great week!

Bryn looks so happy in those pics, what a gorgeous girl!
LOVE the kit - looks gorgeous, can't wait to see what you create with it. In Australia, it takes so long for those new releases to reach our stores. I've normally seen everything on blog posts before it hits us. I guess there is one way to combat that, move to the USA! :)
That layout is gorgeous. I know just what you're going through with Bryn. Abbey suffers asthma so no hairy pets in our house either - she does have a bird. We have quite a pile of the stuffed dogs and cat to compensate and they are treated just like real pets. You have given me a great idea and I will have to take pics and scrap them.
have a great day
