The Craft and Hobby Association (CHA) showis coming up... I love the time leading up to it when people start posting sneak peeks at all the new goodies! Oh... to have an unlimited budget, creative mind and time to just play with all this stuff! I have been into scrapbooking for about 6 years and every single year I am blown away with the creative talent out there! I wish I was a good graphic artist and could design. What fun would that be!?!
Here are few of my favorite things I've seen: Of course from Tim,a bunch of new stamp sets that have left my mind reeling with all the things one could create! My favorite kit comes from Jenni Bowlin - I love her vintage thinking and design style. She has released a new line that you have to love just b/c of the name: The Farmer's Wife!And there is so much more. The Valentine's Day stuff is already out and I couldn't get enough it. This is one of my favorites b/c of the simplicity (and it's called Crush): Teresa Collins.
And... my long awaited photography class started today! Hopefully the pictures that I start to post on this blog will change considerably in the near future!
P.S. I can finally let it out - I am going to be an Auntie again at the end of the summer!

I just love this time of the year, too! I really enjoy seeing the new collections from the different scrapbooking designers as they're revealed each day leading up to CHA, too!
I really like Teresa Collin's new collections! Have you seen them on her blog? Go check them out! http://teresacollins.typepad.com
She always comes out with such great stuff, and I love how she shares her inspiration for her designs.
Congratulations on becoming an aunt again! What a blessing for you!
Thanks again for visiting my blog and for your sweet, sweet comments! :)
