Friday Scrapbook Funnies: Introducing The Hilarious Thena

Long before Thena Smith was a published author of adorable scrapbook related poetry, I used to chat with her occasionally on a scrapbook message board. She was always one to help another scrapbooker in need of the perfect poem for a layout. She continues to help, but has now had a book published and is still queen poetry around some of the more popular message boards. I have saved over the years, some of the funnier poetry that Thena had shared with us. I thought I’d end our week by sharing two with you. I hope that you enjoy and … Continue reading

I’ve developed my own style, my own way of doing things and a greater sense of who I am through my journaling.

Scrapbook Funnies: I saw it on a t-shirt!

It’s once again Friday, and what a long week it’s been. I caught up on a few pages I had wanted to get done.

I guess I really should be packing and not laughing at these little bits of humor. I really need to get the camera and … Continue reading

Don’t let a summer trip to the beach go to waste. While your family is having fun in the sun, be sure to snap photos of their adventures in the sand and surf.

Pretty Easter dresses, bonnets, bunnies and flowers. These are just some of the many holiday images you likely gathered today. Now that Easter is just about over, the next step is to start figuring out how to display all the memories you captured. For starters, review all of the Easter-related photos you snapped.
