Once upon a time when I was in fourth grade, the mandatory grade school curriculum required us to study the great state of Arizona. That’s when I first learned that Arizona had a nickname I had never imagined! I knew all about the Grand Canyon, which was up to that point our only claim to fame – or so I thought. Did you know that Arizona officially became a state on Valentine's Day? When I was in jr. high and thought I was oh so clever, I used to wish everyone a happy Arizona Statehood Day instead of Valentine's Day. Oh my, yes, was I clever! Anyway, that's how Arizona earned it's little-known nickname of the Sweetheart State. It was also the 48th state to be admitted to the union, followed by Alaska 47 years later, so it was called the Baby State for awhile, but I didn't want to be AZ Baby Scraps.
So back to our story... Several years later that 4th grader had grown up (or so she thought) and was off to college. It was there that she met a boy and fell fast and hard for that boy. She tried to charm him one day with her obscure knowledge of Arizona state nicknames. The boy was charmed, oh yes he was. And from then on he called her his Arizona Sweetheart.
Touching story, eh? I also thought you might like to see what’s in store on this little blog. I’m an obsessive planner and organizer, so naturally I have a schedule all ready (and the next few blog posts just waiting to be posted and read by you!). I’m also a bit of a perfectionist, so this isn’t set in stone, and let's face it, I'm a woman and therefore change my mind frequently – but here’s what I have in mind for the near future.
Monday = Me Time Monday – cuz who doesn’t love to hear all about me, me, ME?
Tuesday = Off-Topic Tuesday – fun finds out in the internets that have nothing to do with scrapping
Wednesday = Word Art Wednesday – fun freebies that may or may not coordinate with fun kits
Thursday = Thank You Thursday – what are you grateful for?
Friday = Good Food Friday – even scrappers have to eat sometimes
Saturday/Sunday = Weekend Inspiration – great LOs from around digiland
Doesn’t that sound fun? I can’t even tell you how excited I am about this, my friends! (You’re reading my blog, so that officially makes us friends now. YAY! Why don’t you become a follower and make it even MORE official?) I am seriously coveting the cute, cute find I’ll be sharing with you tomorrow, and your mouth will water when you see what I have in store for you on Friday. I’m hungry just thinking about it!
While the spotlight is still on me, I want to show you a few cute LOs I did this weekend. Well, actually it's two versions of the same LO and I need some advice.
I did this one first, but after I had finished it and looked at it again it seemed like the focus is less on Lauren and more on her dad. Is it just me, or do you agree?
I used this beautiful kit by Marni Designs called Perfect Day.
It's a wedding kit, but I thought it was perfect for these baptism day photos, too! I made this into a freebie QP you can download here. If you want to pick up the whole beautiful kit, you can find it here. And don't forget you only have until the end of the month to use that great coupon for Be Mine. If you *did* forget, you can go here to remember.
That's it for today, but while it's still Me Time Monday, remember to take some me time and do something for yourself today, just for fun!
