Today I discovered the mother load of scrapbook christmas freebies. World Wide Christmas. There are scrapbook goodies for every taste. There is a LOT to look through, so have fun!
I’ve been on a hunt for Christmas card ideas, and here are some that I’ve found.. click on the picture to go to the website.
We had a great Thanksgiving weekend here. Spent Thanksgiving at my Aunt and Uncle’s house. Lots of extended family there. Caitryn and my cousin’s daughter had a good time playing together. The day after was spent mostly shopping. I didn’t get a lot, but we spent a lot of time out and about. Mostly I bought socks for hubby and I and tights for Caitryn. Exciting, huh? Well, I uploaded the pictures from Thanksgiving and made a layout from them. I hope you enjoy it.
Busy, busy day today! After church we went to my niece’s birthday party. It was at a local pizza place with an old carousel. My daughter had a fun time riding it, 3 times at least! After that we hurried back to church for a pie social and thanksgiving time. There were songs and skits. Daughter went up with her Sunday School class, they all wore little pilgrim hats and sang a couple of turkey songs. Too cute! Here are the lyrics: To the tune of “Frere Jacque”
Mr. Turkey, Mr. Turkey
Run away, Run away
If you don’t be careful
You will be a mouthful
Thanksgiving Day
Thanksgiving Day
Hee hee.. makes me laugh every time.
Okay, on to bookin’ type things. At Cen’s Loft there is the start of a Christmas Collab Kit. Check it out all week. Cen also has some vintage Santa papers that are great too!
This week starts the crazy holiday season…. so enjoy and don’t forget to take lots of pictures and do some bookin’!

Here is my Monthly Challenge layout. It’s from Thanksgiving 2006. My daughter enjoyed more the drinking of sparkling cider than eating any of the food.
All the elements (minus the font) came from Kim’s Scrappin’.
The Thanksgiving font, I found at WonderFonts.com.
Here are a couple of birthday pages as promised. I hope you enjoy them!
Here are the layouts I’ve been working on at home. My hubby is planning on having a sale this month, so I’ve been working on some paper layouts to sell. A few are 2 pages, a few 1 page. Was thinking of selling them for $3 for 1 page, $5 for 2 page layouts… what do you think? I am also going to sell the cards I posted a few days ago… probably $2 a card. I still have more to make, but this is just what I’ve gotten so far.
These go together, “Green Delight”. The open circles are only tacked down in one spot in order to slide a picture behind and adhere it better. Lots of room for other pictures, or leave it as is with only one picture per page.
“Pink Flower Tabs”: 3 small buttons on top of the strip of flowered paper. One matted photo, plenty of room for other pictures/journaling.
“Purple Square”: Dark background, strip of purple squared paper, purple photo mat, white journal block, again, room for more or keep it simple.
“Purple Stripe”: Another 2 page layout.. good for spring… the paper is light purple with white polka dots, hard to see in the picture.. the fiber is pink.
“School Days”: This uses some paper from the Die Cuts With a View ‘Grade School’ 8 x 8 pad.
“Spooktacular”: Halloween layout. Stickers from last years Die Cuts With a View fall sticker stack. The little ghots and stars on the top are like little buttons.
“Sunflower Corners”: Sort of a summer/fall kind of page
“Yellow Birthday”: Good for babies, boys or girls. words and small icons hand cut from paper.
I know the pictures are the greatest, but let me know what you think… Either here in the comments, or head over to the FORUMS and tell me there!
Happy Bookin’!
Here is a page I made from some of the same pictures I used for the Smilebox yesterday.
Hello all! I was without internet service again as my household did some shifting around and during that time my service was up for payment and I barely got it paid in time to save all my stuff, whew! So, I am back, again… and hopefully I won’t have any more issues like that! I’m going to try and get all caught up with things this weekend and get back to posting more regularly, although maybe not quite as often, possibly just 2 - 3 times a week. I went to “craft night” at my church this evening and did 2 layouts. I will take pictures of time and show them off.. and also some of the cards I’ve made recently. I know there are a few of you who are dropping by the blog but not making it over to the forums… please check out the forums too… a fun interactive community.. or it could be if you were there! I’m trying to make it a place where people can chat about scrapbooking and share their ideas and layouts and ask for help. As of now there aren’t many people there, but with everyones help we can all make it grow. So, check it out at http://www.mybookinonline.com/forums/
So I missed out on an opportunity today to put together scrapbook pages for adoptive families here in my town. I really wanted to go, but my family has too much going on this week for me to add yet another night away from home. A friend of mine went, so I look forward to hearing from her how it went. Instead today we took our daughter to the dentist for the first time (can you say disaster?!) and did some fall bulb planting in the yard. I eagerly look forward to all the crocus and tulips in the spring, yeah!
This Saturday is World Card Making Day... from their website
World Card Making Day is a holiday especially for card makers around the world to:
Celebrate the creativity of handmade cards and the personal connection that they create between friends and family Kick off (and get a head start on) the holiday card-making season
I know I have at least one card to make… a thank you to my Grandmother. So my goal is to at least do that one. I don’t know how much more I will get done as my house is going to be rather chaotic this weekend. I will post a picture of the card though. If you make any cards for World Card Making Day, sign up in the forum and share it there!
I just finished my page for the Monthly Challenge. It’s a layout on my daughter’s first day of Kindergarten this year. I look forward to seeing what you all have done with this!
Happy Bookin’!
Don’t forget to check out the Collab Kits at Cen’s Loft.
There are some really great autumn kits!
