Still getting the hang of this. . .

No matter how long I have had this I have not yet fully grasped the blogging thing. I mean I love to share my thoughts and my ideas and my scrapbook layouts with people but honestly who cares about my stuff?!?! Sometimes I feel a little silly blogging, I feel like I am just talking to myself but well I guess I do that anyway so why not share the humor with others - right?!?!

I am reallly excited about tomorrow. Tomorrow morning I am going to get up bright and early sit down in front of my computer with a coffee and stay there all day - scrapbooking. It is the final quarter sales at Designer Digitals and they will be doing all day chats and be giving away all kinds of great things and I plan to be there!!!!! I've checked out the chat schedule and I am looking forward to Cathy's chat - I admire how she can keep it simple but somehow manage to make it look different EVERY TIME!!!! And of course Anna - I swear I love everything that woman does and when I grow up I plan to be just as creative.

Who knew 5 years ago when my ideal Saturday would include sleeping, dinner with friends, drinks and then the club I would be here at this point in my life. Have I officially become the old married woman?!? Joey laughs at me sometimes when I tell him "I LOVE TO SCRAPBOOK" and honestly I giggle to myself becuase how many of us used to think at one point in our life that it was a hobby for grandmas who had nothing else to do. . . . . I did.

Off to watch Season 2 of Mad Men - I LOVE THIS SHOW and curses to my sister who introduced me to another show that I must watch!!!

TOOT TOOT!

The more time you spend on this blog the more you will realize that I love Digital Scrapbooking. I love everything about it. I remember a time in my life when I would snicker at the thought of scrapbooking. I mean seriously SCRAPBOOKING, I’m way to cool for that. . . . . I TAKE IT ALL BACK. I love the idea of being able to look back on years of my life and remember all the details, especially with these amazing Shutterfly books!!!

How great is it going to be for Aubrey (my daughter) to be able to sit down with her kids and pull out her FIRST YEAR scrapbook. She will be able to show them her first steps, her first tooth, her first day eating and be able to tell them the exact day it happened. Not to mention all the little stories that you always think you will remember but never do. . . . . anyway I am rambling back to the subject of the post.

So I have been scrapbooking for about 9 months now and I really love posting my layouts to this one site - Designer Digitals. They have some really amazing products and the community is pretty awesome. The ladies there offer a lot of support and great feedback. So on Saturday I sat down at my computer to check my email and I receive this awesome email:
