Rockstars!

We will, we will ROCK YOU! Teagan and Auntie Dawn had a blast playing Rock Band- Teagan was the drummer and I was the guitar player. After ever song Teagan would shout- "Way to go guitar player..." We had a great time playing rock band, making Christmas crafts

and a "&@** gingerbread house. Lets just say that if Mimi ever buys one of those again, Teagan can can put it together at her house.

*i am ready for Christmas Vacation!
*i want to find my Fairytale.... (I am beginning to wonder)

*i laugh when Teagan says funny things
*i can't believe that my daughter is 17 already
*i write in my journal- somtimes the things I write turn into picture books

Beautiful Butterflies

I was visiting a blog that I watch regularly and noticed that he was making beautiful butterflies, when I looked closer I realized that the butterflies were more than art they were representing all of the children that died during the Holocaust. So being me- I wanted to help and I want to ask anyone else who reads my blog to help- I will be making butterflies and you can too. I am including the link to Dan's blog- http://dan99.blogspot.com/2008/11/butterfly-project-freebie.html on here you can read about The Butterfly Project, download butterfly patterns and see some completed butterflies. I hope that some of you out there will join me. Remember that they will be representing children, so of course children can participate as well. The only regulations are they can't be bigger that 8x10, and they cant have glitter on them. I look forward to hearing about your beautiful butterflies. Here is the link to the company that is collecting them, http://www.hmh.org/minisite/butterfly/index.html. You can visit for more info.

LOVED IT!!!!

I went to see Twilight today and it was soo much better than I expected- you know when you are reading and you visualize certain parts of a book, well the movie is so much better than what I visualized. I cant wait to see it again. Maybe the girls can go over Thanksgiving break!!!

Soooo Sad.......

Well here I am at home, lonely, on the computer, all by myself, depressed, blue, sad, and why do you ask???? Because my ROTTEN daughter left me at home so that she can go to the midnight premire of Twilight- with her friends- traded for 16 year old girls how awful is that. Now not only is she going to see the movie before me, she is going to rub it in my face. I cant wait till tomorrow afternoon, I am going to leave her at home and go and see it by myself, wearing my Twilight t-shirt. Yes I bought a movie t-shirt, I know how stupid is that for a 38 year old professional to buy a movie shirt-, but I just couldnt resist. The books are sooo good, and I am totally lost in all of it. I hope you guys have read the books too, and if not get out and buy them, the are fab!

Stories in Hand

Ok, I stumbled across this on-line class a couple of weeks ago. It is being offered by Jessica Sprague, and it deals with journaling and writing your memoirs. Now most of you who know me, know that I enjoy writing, but when I am scrapping i find myself always saying the same thing over and over again on each page. So I thought this class would help me to add more voice and expand my writing. Tonight was the first class and we had to create our book that will house all of our writings and journal prompts. It was fun creating the book, tomorrow we will begin with the writing part. If you are interested, I dont think its too late to sign up. I think there were 6,000 enrolled in the class. Click here for the link to register for the class. Here is my journal that I created tonight. I cant wait to fill it with wonderful stories.

I hope to see some of you in class with me tomorrow. Happy crafting! Dawn :)

Roadtrip and the world's best Scrapbook Store

I had to make a trip to Savannah today and while I was there I just had to visit Linda at my FAVORITE Scrapbook store. Linda has it all decorated for Christmas. It is so pretty with the white tree, and all of the newest Christmas papers and embellishments all around the front. Thanks Linda for believing in me and my craft. Dawn :)
If you are in or around the Savannah, GA area make sure that you stop and check out A Scrapbook Boutique, when you are there tell Linda hi for me.
Happy Crafting.
