Freebie Friday!

I have said it before, but I will say it again....if you are not searching through Swagbucks, you are missing out. It is no different than using Google. You can download the little search bar and just use it when you would normally use Google. I accumulated enough points to order both of these toys. I only had to pay $1.99....including shipping. There really are no strings attached. It is a wonderful program. Go here to sign up!

~I LOVE THIS!!!!! (Thanks, Michelle)

XEROX IS DOING SOMETHING COOL If you go to this web site, http://www.letssaythanks.com/ you can pick out a thank you card and Xerox will print it and it will be sent to a soldier that is currently serving in Iraq. You can't pick out who gets it, but it will go to a member of the armed services.. How AMAZING it would be if we could get everyone we know to send one!!! It is FREE and it only takes a second. Wouldn't it be wonderful if the soldiers received a bunch of these? Whether you are for or against the war, our soldiers over there need to know we are behind them. This takes just 10 seconds and it's a wonderful way to say thank you. Please take the time and please take the time to pass it on for others to do. We can never say enough thank you's. Thanks for taking to time to support our military!

Bottom Row: Beth, Julie, Tiffany, Amy.

A New "Project 365" Kit!

I know several people told me to let them know if a new kit comes out. Well, here it is. This one looks just as easy as the first one and everything is included.

Let me know if you decide to order it!!

This goes way way back. Probably 25 years. This is Todd and my two nieces, Belinda and Jessica (hey Jess). I guess they didn't coordinate kids clothes for pictures back then!!

Nothing Spectacular.....

....but I did actually manage to scrap last night. I really want to get going again so I'm trying hard to get my mojo back!

This was Sept. 2007. Beth and I took Drew and Connor downtown to see "Walking With Dinosaurs". It was a great show...very lifelike and the boys loved it.
