Thankfulness is in the Air
In America, this week, there is a huge holiday called Thanksgiving. The history is Pilgrims were having a meal of thanksgiving and because ot the Native American Indians they were able to grow the food in abundance. They were thankful because they were alive!Thru the years it was just a time to gather after the harvest was brought in and be thankful. It was a presidential proclamation in 1863 It evolved, and in 1941, in America it became an official holiday. It was done to help give our country an economic boost during the depression, and to help Americans remember to be thankful for what we did have. Our lives, freedom and family. It became a time to gather all the family and friends around the table and enjoy the bounty.Growing up as a Navy brat (daughter of Navy Chief), we were in remote and foreign lands most Novembers. This meant, our home was the hub for Thanksgiving. … [Read more...]
Polly Picks: Rebecca Hilleary
Today's Polly Pick is Rebecca Hilleary and honestly, I am thrilled to show her off a little. I spent a bit of time in her gallery this week and she is ROCKIN'. Seriously, just check it out for yourself and I promise, it will inspire you. First of all, she is a master of Pocket Pages and I love how she uses them for her Project Life pages and also as a blueprint to get several photos on a page. In fact, many of her stunning layouts showcase multiple photos, something that is difficult for a lot of us. But that's not all she is great at... take a look at some of her single photo pages. She makes great use of the BIG photo, filling pages with a single photo. Besides the picture itself being fabulous, the overall effect of the page is just perfect. These pages print out very well, also, really showing off that smile or landscape. Another thing that I really like about Rebecca's … [Read more...]

So weird. ◊So what does The Lily Pad have to help you celebrate your child's upcoming launch from high school?and there's this lovely kit, too. ↓For a little more whimsical touch: ↓And of course, there's all the hoopla leading up to graduation, like filling out applications to college, SAT, ACT, Senior breakfasts, nights, Proms, Pictures... 8-OThis isn't just for … [Read more...]
