Introduction

I'm at that point in my reading that I've read everything in the house (well, except all the church books) and I'm going to the library and randomly picking things off the shelves.  But I recently discovered a friend of mine has a blog about good books to read.  Click on the link in the list.

Last year I got into digital scrapbooking.  I'm using Photoshop Elements to scrap and iPhoto to keep things organized.  I recommend the training from Scrapper's Guide.  I'm really enjoying it and my goal for this year is to do one page a day to get my family books caught up.  I'm in the year 2002 and here's the page I did for today.

I'm noticing that all the nice dishtowels my mom embroidered for me are getting a little ratty.  I really want to have some new ones, and I have a pattern I bought a few years ago with cute little ducks and days of the week written on them.  I ordered some new dishtowels online the other day, and if they turn out to be the nice, tight-woven ones, I will let you know where I ordered them from!  Looking forward to that.  Maybe I can get to the Needles Night get-together with those!

That is funny that you bring up dishtowels! I was just thinking about that. Mine are so old and ratty and I am really feeling like I need some new spring colors in my kitchen. Wish I could say I will be seeing you at needles-night to make some cute ones, but no. Mine will just come from the store :-)

The part that took the longest was the credits for the scrapbook page!
