Spring time brings trouble around here.  I literally have to go straight from the mailbox to the trash can when the Pottery Barn catalogs come.  Fall, not tempted, Winter, no thanks... but stinky Spring brings out the colors and accessories that could very well steer us straight to the poorhouse.  In honor of all things beachy and aiming for all things free... Ms. Martha has cooked up some stunning nautical downloads perfect for cards and photos.  Enjoy!

My first Shutterfly album came today!  It turned out even better than I had hoped.  The photo quality is amazing... even better than the prints I have ordered from them.  I think I am going to go back and make one for each year.  It would be 100% perfect if I wasn't such a dork.  I put "Our Life 2008" 0n the spine.  Not 2007.  So when I make one at the end of this year it is going to get confusing.

There was a time (long, long ago) that I was so caught up on my scrapbooks that I was actually planning events just so I could make pages.  Now, not so much.  It has been looming over my head and I have gone back and forth over what to do about it.  Even getting to the scrapbook store for a reason other than my Etsy shop is a luxury.  Creating pages... a dream I can't seem to get together right now.  I rarely even print pictures any more.  Yesterday I committed to park it at the computer and collect all of my faves from 2007.  During the girl's nap time I finished the whole year into one album and actually love how it turned out.  Look at the cover cuties!  I can finally check that off of the to do list.  Thanks Shutterfly!
