I know I mentioned this before but being one of the 9 nominees for this award is really an honor! I have been scrapbooking for as long as I can remember and even though it is a huge part of my life, I really don't talk about it a lot (besides here on my blog). Hardly any of the people that I hang out with on a day-to-day basis scrapbook and honestly I don't even think that most of my family members really "get" what its all about and why I am so into it! In fact just last month my husband picked up one of the recent Creating Keepsakes issues and he was getting all excited that I had some layouts in there. He couldn't believe I hadn't told him and I just laughed and explained that since I have been on the Dream Team the last few years, I have actually had layouts in every issue. And I thought he knew that but he had no idea! So you really can see that I just go about my business and do my thing but I don't really make a big deal of it.
So, getting back to my point, I guess I am still really taken back when people will take the time to stop and notice all of this and when people tell me that they are inspired by what I do in the scrapbooking world. I can remember when I first got started in the industry with Making Memories, and now all these years later, I still just feel like little old me doing my thing the same as I always have been. I still look at ladies like the other award nominees and I am in awe at them and what they do and how they inspire me! I still pinch myself when I am at the Creative Escape preview day teaching a practice run of my class to other amazing and inspiring scrapbookers like Heidi Swapp, Teresa Collins, Claudine Hellmuth, and the others.
Receiving this award is a big deal to me not only because it is an honor but because it really is nice to see that what I do is making a difference and that it is inspiring to others…. we all want to feel like the things we do matter and especially things we pour our heart and soul into on a daily basis. It truly means a lot and I do want to say thanks to Ella Publishing and thanks to all of my online friends and the followers of my blog that have been hanging out here for years paying attention and joining me on this amazing journey! It feels great to be able to share this (and everything else I do) with all of you and with so many people that do "get" it and that do feel the same passion for taking photographs, creating art and preserving our memories!
Ok, I didn't mean to get all gushy… now onto the giveaways! The fun part! I am so excited to be a part of this blog tour because there are lots of amazing prizes up for grabs! When I read all of the details about the tour and the giveaways I was literally blown away! It's not very often that you get 100 chances to win…. and such great prizes too!
I will be giving away one prize from each of the nominees, plus Ella – that's 10 prizes in all that you can win here on my blog. You can enter to win by leaving a comment on this post. The winners will be selected randomly and each winner will receive one of the listed prizes. If you are dying for a certain prize over something else you can include that with your comment as well but there are no guarantees. You will have until Friday at 10am MST to enter.
Here's a list of the prizes:
• A $20 gift certificate from Ella Publishing Co.
• Two digital-scrapbooking template packs (20 templates) from Cathy Zielske
• A six-month Paperclipping membership from Noell Hyman
• A “Play Date” product pack from Jenni Bowlin

The other stop on the blog tour for today is Jessica Sprague. Be sure to head over there for more chances to win and to congratulate her!!
Also don't forget about the ebook: Time to Scrapbook! 9 busy women share 27 tricks for fitting it in which includes exclusive layouts created by each of the nominees along with lots of personalized tips and fun information! You will love it!

July 21, 2010 at 5:05 amCongrats!! Cool award for a cool scrapbooker.
It’s funny how you mentioned that few people in your daily life understand the scrapbooking. I’m right there with you. In fact, when I mention that I scrapbook, I often get That Look. The “are you one of those crazy nutcases?” look, as the person takes one step back, away from me. Yes, yes, I am. (Of course, it’s not like my husband casually discovers me published…I’d be shouting that from the roof tops!!!!)
Andi M

OMG, so it’s not just my friends and hubby who don’t get the scrapbooking thing! Sometimes, I feel I must be really weird – “wasting” so much time on something they don’t appreciate. Thank goodness for the Internet and opportunity to “meet” fellow scrappers.
I would love any of the prizes. Thanks for the chance to win.

Suz
July 21, 2010 at 9:22 amcongrats to you… your work is amazing and does inspire people.
I really enjoyed your post & the way you talk about people not getting the scrapbooking thing. I guess it made me feel better about having those same feeling when someone who is well known has the same. We have our own little online world where people “get us”.

christene
July 21, 2010 at 3:35 pmIn our house, my supplies are called ‘scrap crap’. (So I totally get that your husband’s cluelessness.) And no, I don’t take offense, afterall my supplies are neatly stored in a closet for easy access and visual inspiration, whereas my husband’s tools and crap are stored in the basement with the spiders and the oogies. Sometimes I think girls got the better end of the bargain, but shhh!, don’t tell.
Congratulations on your nomination!

July 21, 2010 at 6:53 pmCongrats on this honor! I always find it amazing when people don’t “get” what we are doing when we scrapbook. My sister in law once said something about it being a way to be a kid again. That was until I made her daughter a scrapbook about her wedding. Then she got it. She just recently asked me to help her with a book for her grand daughter. Guess she does really get it now.

March 30, 2023 at 4:54 pmThanks for the suggestions shared on your own blog. One more thing I would like to talk about is that weight reduction is not about going on a fad diet and trying to reduce as much weight as possible in a few months. The most effective way to burn fat is by using it slowly but surely and obeying some basic points which can enable you to make the most from your attempt to slim down. You may be aware and be following these tips, but reinforcing knowledge never does any damage.

One other thing is when you are advertising your property alone, one of the troubles you need to be cognizant of upfront is how to deal with home inspection reviews. As a FSBO seller, the key to successfully moving your property and saving money about real estate agent commissions is knowledge. The more you recognize, the easier your property sales effort might be. One area where by this is particularly essential is inspection reports.

April 8, 2023 at 9:12 pmOne thing I’d really like to comment on is that fat reduction plan fast can be achieved by the proper diet and exercise. Ones size not simply affects appearance, but also the general quality of life. Self-esteem, despression symptoms, health risks, along with physical capabilities are influenced in weight gain. It is possible to do everything right whilst still having a gain. If this happens, a medical problem may be the offender. While too much food but not enough physical exercise are usually guilty, common health concerns and widespread prescriptions could greatly amplify size. I am grateful for your post here.

And it could not be much more correct at this point. Having said that, permit me reveal to you what exactly did give good results. The authoring can be highly persuasive and that is probably the reason why I am making the effort to comment. I do not really make it a regular habit of doing that. Secondly, whilst I can notice a jumps in reason you come up with, I am not necessarily sure of just how you appear to unite your details which in turn make the final result. For right now I will, no doubt subscribe to your issue but trust in the near future you link the facts better.
