Do you have a 'Bucket List'? Now's the time!

With another year coming to an end, we all think about all those would haves and should haves... wouldn't it be great to see the Grand Canyon before it's too late? Oh, I'd love to learn how to spin pottery! I should have taken my kids to more fun places, maybe someday. I should have learned to knit when I had time. We all have a list running through our minds, or maybe it's been pushed to the back of our minds. But, how many of us really have a bucket list? An actual visual of all the things we'd love to do someday...but before it's too late? I have never actually written mine anywhere, but I am thinking in order to accomplish it, I need to put it somewhere. I am currently working on one of my many items on my list - scrapbooking/documenting my kids childhood, but what if I could do more??? I mean what if I could list mine out somewhere and possibly help someone else. Well, I just reconnected with someone I knew from a few years back, and she is one amazing gal. Family circumstances led her to create Trading Buckets. A place where you or I could help someone else complete an item on their own bucket list! Please go and check it out and I hope it inspires you to put together your own 'bucket list'!

Great Holiday Gift Idea

I've been working away on some inexpensive gifts for my many many nieces and nephews. These are turning out just they way I want them too. They are super easy to make with My Memories and are easy to ship all over!

Come check out the sketch challenge happening at Albums to Remember Designs!

Not So Perfect Pictures

I participated in the weekly Wednesday Challenge over at My Memories, and I came up with this page that has to be one of my all time favorite layouts. I would not have thought to use these pictures because I didn't really like them, but so glad that I did. I love that I took a picture that I really messed up on, not even a glimpse of my son's face and used it as the background for my page.

Cupcake toppers

Here is a super easy way to create fun toppers for your cupcakes or other sweet treats. For these I used the kit, A Halloween Pack by Albums to Remember.

I used My Memories Suite to create the toppers. I made circles and cut them with a circle craft punch. I attached them to toothpicks and then put them on the cupcakes.
