9th Scrappy Saturdays

This past week was Spring Fling hosted by 4 great blogs at BlogFrog. I had started a BlogFrog account a while ago, but not until the Spring Fling did I decide that it was awesome. If you have BlogFrog, check out my community and if you don't, look into it: http://theblogfrog.com/935825
I'm thinking of hosting Online Crops over there once a month and hopefully getting sponsors to give prizes.

Then on Friday, April 16th, I'll do a post sharing my favorites from Scrappy Saturday- Friday Favorites!


Here is my scrapbook project that I've been working on:  finishing my son's 1st year Scrapbook (a 56+ page calendar scrapbook)! I just have one thing left to do - sew a pocket for one of his ultrasound CDs and then I'm completely finished! Problem is to dig my sewing machine that is surrounded by scrapbook stuff. =D

These are the last of his pages: 8-12 months - it was so hard choosing what pictures to put for each month. Once that was done, embellishing was easy!
