I loved using these photo clusters. It was fun seeing a different culture during Easter.

We had the best time in the Czech Republic for Easter. I did this two page layout of the Market.

I'm double dipping...I did this using the colors today but also used many of the pieces from this months SS club. I love to put together postcards to send family and friends. I sent one recently to my cousin Lynn and would never leave out her sister Anne. Being 5 years younger than Lynn and me, she always seemed like a doll. Can't wait to send this off today.

I loved the collection this month and have been dying to find just the right picture for the darling doll. Here is another of my postcards. I sent one to Anne's sister Lynn and I would hate be accused of forgetting someone. Lynn and Anne are my cousins and Anne was the youngest of us all. We really did treat her like a doll at times - and she seems to be the best dressed with the best haircut too. I'm mailing it off today.

I began thinking about what a butterfly kiss can mean. I found this picture of my grandmother and me shortly before her death. It is amazing how we can miss some of the sweetest times in our lives but I am so glad we have pictures to remind us.

I have been creating 4x6 postcards for my family and sending them at random times. I found this picture of my cousin just in time for her birthday.

I had fun going back to the April ScrapSimple club using STI_SSEmb_WoodApplique_Owl DEB_SSClub_Apr11_Nano_Emb_Daisy SG_SSClub_Apr11_MembersOnly_SSStyles_MKTG_600

This is such a family favorite passed down from my mother and is traditionally a brunch dish. My mother didn't have the convenience of a slow cooker so she had to stir it for a long time. I think she bought a crock pot just for this recipe. We always eat it over cheese grits which most people see as strange, but we're Southern!

I kind of missed Christmas Cards this year and we had some real news with two college graduates and one off to Tulane University so I made up these New Year's cards instead. I loved all the clocks in the collection.

I first posted this in the Saturday Challenge, but it belongs here too. Sugar is a cute as can be but she is high maintenance. We are off today to the groomer! I think I will bring this as a thank you.
