The news is OUT!

This has been a pretty exciting morning around here. I got this email today. My mouth fell open. Sometimes all the opportunities I've been given, well, they just don't feel real. I'm always amazed at the world scrapbooking has opened for me. Here's the email (the photo is the cover of my book!!)

Journaling Your Stories

Prompts, suggestions, and tips for more meaningful journaling will help you find the right words to scrapbook everything from everyday events to special occasions, from relationships to the things that make you laugh. Go from writer’s block to a scrapbook full of memories—share your stories!

I'm so honored that my friends at Scrapbook Trends think so highly of this book. It's been a lesson in hard work for sure, but I always enjoy working with their team. Such great people! Anyway, I know I'm going all sappy, but it's been a crazy few months and I'm pregnant, so you have to forgive me.

Other exciting news is that I've been filming scrapbooking tutorial "web casts" for the Nth Degree Creative, hosted on Creative Xpress (click here to see the into video). The hits they are getting on the video are amazing and the first one with tutorial content is slated for release later this month. I'm so excited and passionate about this project. My co-host extraordinaire, Kristy Lee, is a blast to work with and I love the Creative Xpress team. So fun to work with them.

So, there's some exciting updates on my "professional" life.
