    This is lovely. I haven't been around in a while but I love the new comments on the side of the post.
  2. Thanks Carla. That's great to hear and makes a difference for me too.
  3. I bought the big Fiskars rotary bypass self-sharpening cutter with fold-up cutting table. Happy so far. I'm cutting other things besides just paper so I didn't want to run into issues with not being able to cut thicker stuff. Nothing like Fiskars for cutting!
  4. Does anyone have a paper trimmer they're happy with and can recommend? Looking to upgrade from my cheap Darice (which has stood me in good stead but I need something a little more durable, bigger (if possible), with a few more bells and whistles! Cutting more than card stock and paper these days. Also looking for something to square up large uneven sheets of paper prior to cutting - would be ideal if i could use the same trimmer to aid in that.
  5. anyone else having a Groundhog Day party tomorrow? GHD is one of my favorite days, among other reasons, because my dad worked outside on the phone lines when I was a kid. he got so excited about GHD and the possibility of a sooner spring. that sticks w/me today. Having friends over tomorrow night just for fun.

      I love celebrating Groundhog Day by watching the classic "Groundhog Day" movie. I never get tired of it - my DH, not so much.

      I love that movie.

      Sounds like a fun time! Such a cool idea, too.

  6. Your girls are growing up! Lovely pages and photos, Carla. Well done!
  7. I have not baked 70 gingerbread houses - or one, for that matter, but I have made 16 nut rolls in one day!
  8. my car wouldn't start today so i decided to just have a quiet NYE at home. ordered Chinese delivery and oops - ate the fortune cookie - fortune and all! :o

      My car wont start either. Evelyn, bless her 3 year old heart, played with the inside light, i did not realize it was left on. 2 days. Dead battery.

    this is really a sweet photo and Mikelle, you did a lovely job here showing it off!
  10. I have been to Ireland but I've never been to Italy . . . yet!
  11. Any bullet journalers out there? trying this for 2018. I like the idea of making the pages as I go.

      I use a Filofax for planning, and love that it keeps my lists all in one place so I don't lose them. The bullet journaling concept is really cool, I just don't want to spend the time making all the boxes for my pages. I'm sure it gets fast once you get a system. The class I took suggested that when you make mistakes, you just glue two pages together and move on. I'm a little too OCD for that. That is why I'm a ring binder girl. ;)

      I read this thread last night, then had to look up "bullet journaling" - hadn't heard of it before.  After reading about it, I did order some very simple notebooks to try it out.  I've essentially been doing bullet journaling for a while already, at work; I've got a lined journal I bought at a bookstore, where I just have different pages of information - one a list of pager numbers for the surgeons I work with, one a list of passwords (sssssshhhhh... I can't keep track otherwise), my on-going to-do list, a list of cases that would make good teaching cases, etc.  I do like the freedom of it, makes sense to try using it in my home life, too.  And it could help with scrapping.

      i'm a little OCD too, April. We'll see how this goes. I like the idea of using an index in front, and i'm going to keep my lists/collections in the back. what do I have to lose to try it. 

  12. that's very cute actually! and perfect for a layout. love the grunge look. well done!
  13. what a fascinating story and you've illustrated it here so beautiful. I especially love the poppies towards the front.
  14. That song came to mind as well. Love the way you wove so many elements together here - great job.
