I've missed you too! Glad you're scrapping and blogging again - soccer mom! I think the combination of lack of rain and heat has zapped us all. Looking forward to more posts. BTW love the toothpicks sewn on the page. You rock.

I am with you on the scrapping malady...when I am NOT scrapping -- I want to be..but when I actually get to it, I don't feel all that creative...it must be the weather....grrrrrrrrr.
I love the pics...clearly the weather is not affecting your great photographic skills! And the layout of KNIGHTS is a jewel!
Glad school is good -- and happy that gman is enjoying preschool...fun! Miss you girl...we simply have to catch up!@

I am a soccor mom too! We are with the YMCA, who are you with? I love it! Dawson had his first practice last Friday too...they will have it every friday at 6:30...not very happy about that. Anyways, glad school is going good. Dawson started kindergaten at MJE he is starting to get the hang of it. Boy, it was very overwhelming the first week...totally different from MDO :)

Glad to see you're blogging again! I hope school is going well. I'm already ready for fall weather and a little bit of a break. :)
Love the pic of Paige and the knight layout you posted. Post more soon so I can be inspired more when I have time to do something about it, okay?
Would you email a list of some of the online sites you use to shop for scrapbook supplies? Now that I don't have Scrap It (except for monthly kits that is) or a local scrapbook store, I'm doing almost all of my purchasing online. I have a few shops I like, but I recall you mentioning some stores I hadn't heard of/used before. I'd appreciate it.
Hope to see you soon! Tiffany
