Now come on admit it, the shopping for, sorting of, playing with and stock piling our products is one pastime we scrapbookers love just as much as creating the layouts themselves. Even if you are a digi chic, I bet you can’t resist the urge to browse and buy just one more kit that you know you will use one day.

So my point being? Well I just had to share another place to spend some of your time doing the very much loved task of scouring for great products. When my friend Michelle from My New Shiny Shoes posted on her shopping blog about Craft Products Australia I couldn’t resist the urge to jump on over and have a look. Their range isn’t too bad and they cater to more than just scrapbookers. I’ve bookmarked them for future “I need a shopping fix” reference

So we all love to win things right? And even more so when it’s scrapping stuff!!! Well I know I do that’s for sure. Which is why you need to check Really Just Ribbons, they have a fabulous range of ribbons suitable for all of your crafting needs. They’re gorgeous and I know I won’t be able to stay away from that website.

To enter into the draw that Really Just Ribbons are offering – which by the way is a huge bundle of ribbons valued at $47.75 – you need to jump on over to their blog and check out the details here I’ve entered, have you?

So are you? My friend Crystal is, ok so it has taken her a while for her to get to that but she is now living the life she dreamt about before she had her kids. Man do I envy that!

She’s been lucky enough to live her dream for some time now and has created a fabulous website called Happy Mommy News, where she helps other mums just like you and me at  Becoming The Mom Of Your Dreams Crystal has an array of resources there covering many areas of a mum’s life.

In fact she is about to do a Live Free Teleseminar, that you can find more details about at Be A Great Mom where she will share some of her hints and tips to a harmonious and happy mum life. Plus it doesn’t matter if you miss the teleseminar she will be emailing out the transcripts so you can read them at your leisure, but you had better be quick cause the teleseminar is on the 13th of Febuary! Be A Great Mom hope to see you there, cause I know I will be.

I love this time of year – here in the USA, the weather is cold – and I can actually find time to scrapbook! 

With scrapbooking comes layout fun – or as my family calls it – Layout Frenzy! 

Why Layout Frenzy?  Because, I keep rearranging my photos and then I ask my family what they think of this one…  It’s driving them crazy – even my 9 year old dd said ”Mom, it looks great – just do it!”  LOL   

I’m currently working on my Christmas photos and layouts.   I have a two-page layout with decorating the tree - the tree is the star along with my little munchkins of course.   I haven’t even started with the opening the presents yet – oh my – more Layout Frenzy to come.

Are you more confident than I am with your layouts?  Or do you enjoy Layout Frenzy too?

Until next time…
