Season Premier Week!!


Who has favorite TV shows?

I have to admit, I have A LOT of them. I am glad that someone invented DVR. Without it, I would be glued to the TV (literally!)

I was very excited about my two favorite shows coming back (I have many, but these rank #1 and #2). My #1 show is Glee. I laugh at the silliness of the movie and I love the banter between Will Shuester and Sue Sylvester. I tune every week to see the Glee Club break out into song and dance and to hear the cracks Sue makes about Will's hair.



My #2 show is NCIS. I have to admit, I didn't watch this one beginning with the 1st season. I just recently fell in love with Gibbs, Abby, McGee, Ziva, and DeNozo. They make a great team!

I also watch: Supernatural (this is season 6, and it's last); Smallville (this is season 10, and it's last); Two and a Half Men; How I Met Your Mother; Vampire Diaries; NCIS LA; Criminal Minds; CSI NY and a couple more that I am forgetting!

What ever your favorite show may be, enjoy Premier Week!

Workshop Weekend: Interactive Layout

Do you believe in Magic?
Have you gotten your hands on the Jeanette's newest "How To" book? It is awesome! I've looked through each page, hundreds of times! As I looked at each layout I realized I was ready to try creating one for myself!

When I saw my completed layouts, I knew what my next workshop would be! I wanted to teach you how to create a beautiful interactive layout with ease.
As you can see, these are 12 x 12 layouts in page protectors. They are fun and creative! But, if you look closely the film strips are hiding more pictures which tells my story to the fullest.


With one slight pull of a tab, I have more pictures to tell my story.
