CROPPIN' WITh YOUR BUDDIES

Doesn't this look like fun, here are Brandi's pictures from the National Scrapbook Day Crop at Memory Mania. Congratulations to the last 2 croppers, Christy Dixon & Michon Miller. Thanks to hostesses, Brandi Thompson & Tania Allen. The croppers didn't drop until 4:57am, WOW, that's awesome. Schedule your next Friday night crop at Memory Mania & join in the fun.

OK, summer is here and lots of memories to be making!!!!! So, don't forget to set aside some "ME" time for you and your buddies to scrapbook. That will definitely be the highlight of my summer, my weekly scrap date with my buddies (Yeah, the teachers are out of school & its time to play!!!) Of course, it takes the first few weeks just to catch up then we'll get some scrappin' done, hahaha. Nothing better than sharing some scraplifting ideas & getting some ideas from your buddies to motivate you to scrapbook-and again, check out that Photo Freedom book so you can try the guilt-free scrappin'.

Preparing for MMU Graduation

Congratulations to the 2008 MMU Graduates. KUDOS to Jade, Brooke & Terri for helping us pull it all together!!!!! The graduates played "Let's Make a Deal" with their homework layouts (which we loved all looking at), then the top 3 prizes were auctioned: Catha Duhe won 2009 CCL; Valine Laborde won the Scraparatus & accessories; and Heather Banker won a 12x12 Album; Sandra Davis & Terri Colclough joined in the fun to bid on some completed layouts!!! We ended the night as the graduates created a Scrapbook Notebook to hold sketches & shopping lists. They did an awesome job. Thanks to Christy for the inspiration of the book (my Christmas gift).

THANK YOU MOM SALE

I know that Mother's Day has passed for many of you, but my mom lives out of town and is coming in this week so we celebrate Mother's Day this weekend!!! I hope all of you had a wonderful Mother's Day--i hope you felt honored and deeply loved and appreciated on your special day!!!

Indulge me just a few moments, as I share with you just how much I ADORE my Mom . . . I don't know what I'd do without her. You know as we get older, we have more mortal thoughts, so i guess just thinking what would I have done without her this year is such a scary thought. My mom spent 4 weeks with my family after my surgery making sure that I followed all (or most) of the rules, rested and ate properly to recover the best I could. While I believe John is the most awesome husband and takes really good care of me, NO ONE CAN DO WHAT MOTHER'S Do!!!! Who else could a 45 (ouch) year old woman call for sympathy after she does things she knows she shouldn't while recovering from back surgery? I mean, really. Anyone else might have laughed, or made me feel guilty for overdoing it, BUT I can take comfort in her genuine sympathy and words of "do better next time" advice. When you become a mom you REALLY appreciate your mom a lot more, for the little things that she never complained about or did without; As i grow older, I learn even more about my mom, i have little flashes in time where i learn something new, and suddenly my whole perspective on her changes. WOW-if only i could be the mom she was to me!!!! I know I wouldn't be the woman I am today without her guiding influence in my life. So don't forget to honor your mom, she is the reason you are such a wonderful person!!!!! CHALLENGE, create a layout or a mini album honoring your mom, What I lOVE About my Mom . . ." Is it the way she makes people feel, or her easy laugh, or the fact that no matter what the weather, and no matter how far she had to drive, that she never, never missed a chance to be there for you. THANK YOU MOM SALE-all albums on sale 25% off today through May 30th.

Share & Tell Binder Scrapbook

Dear Friends,

Yippee! The Share & Tell Program has arrived and it is delightful new approach to scrapbookers everywhere!

The Share & Tell Binder Program offers easy ways to organize your photos and display them beautifully! It is a simple and affordable program that is easy to maintain and will provide a breath of fresh air to some of you and especially to friends & family that don't have "time" to scrapbook certain photos. It is the much needed relief to quickly organize your life's memories. Please spread the word to family and friends that didn't think they could scrapbook, they will be seeing "I can do this" !

It is based on the premise of time. You decide how much time you have to spend...No Time, Some Time or Creative Time. The program includes beautiful albums, sheet protectors and plenty of 4x6 journaling card and creative pads to record their memories. They also coordinate beautifully with our theme collections.

Come see what a difference it can make to get the photos ready to share without taking a lot of time.

We appreciate your time and wish you the very best as you spread the joy of memories to your family & friends.

Thank You

To all of you who took classes on Saturday, thank you so much for making my last MMU class such a positive and wonderful experience. I have been teaching MMU classes for Memory Mania since 2003 on a variety of topics and themes, and each class has been so rewarding to me not only in the process of creating the class, subject matter, and handouts, but to spend a couple of hours away from home and sharing my passion for scrapbooking with ladies who really "get it!" I haven't tried out Cricut Design Studio yet, but as soon as I do I'll post what I have done with it. Thank you so much Darlene for spearheading the gift and the cake- you got me to cry and I swore I wouldn't! We are planning our big move to North Carolina in July, so I will still be around shopping and creating layouts for the Master's team in May and June. Thanks to ALL of my former students. It has truly been a pleasure.

Memory Mania goes Hollywood

Counting down...66 days until CCL.
