Free Sketches!

I had an email from Scrapbook Generation in my inbox this morning directing me to their new free January sketch.  While I was downloading it I noticed that they have 7 free sketches available.  Check them out and get them while you can!

A Swinging Good Time

It's been a few weeks since I've scrapped but today craft/hobby time was listed as one of the tasks in the Clean House Calendar so I spent a few minutes playing.

This is a kit I picked up a few years ago at Scrapbook Generation.  (Beautiful Dreamer)  A few weeks ago I dug it and a few others out and edited & printed photos for them.  Today, I put this one together.

These are photos of my daughter at 4 (now she's almost 10) swinging on the playground my husband built for her birthday that year.

How did you spend your craft/hobby time today?

• Develop and maintain a healthy lifestyle.
• Get and keep my home clean and organized.
• Stretch my weekly budget using coupons.
• Develop a plan and prepare for emergencies.
