Hope you all had a happy 4th. We did...hosted a small family gathering here and really enjoyed it. We had food, and fireworks, and Wii Rockband.
I should be working, but feel the need to procrastinate first. Thought I'd check in on the blog. Which reminds me - I'm terribly overdue in making a shout out to MARJORIE FROM TEXAS!
Marjorie is one of my favorite people in this big world and she found my blog and left a comment a few months back. Marjorie, a big, long, newsy email is heading your way.
If I'm lucky today I will get to scrapbook. I have not had the time for scrapbooking lately and I'm dying to get back to it. I was able to catch up on all Claire's school year stuff - thanks to the Becky Higgins KOTM. She put together the best system for school memorabilia. She swears she's not going to offer it again, but I think that's crazy. It's one of the best, most practical kits I've ever seen. Next up on my SB to -do list is Claire's dance book. I made the title page and gathered photos from every year she's danced...so I'm poised for some serious productivity.
Lame post, I know...but I should get to work. I hate posts without pictures, so here's a random one. I made strawberry jam a couple of months ago. I was very worried about it being runny since I didn't use pectin. Ha. It's not runny. It's not spreadable. Not even sliceable. Guess I'll try again next year.
