50 is Magical

What a Party! I'm surrounded with Tim Holtz products and boxes! I'll be cleaning up my Birthday Party for a few days!

While we were partying this weekend I received a great birthday gift. My husband brought in the mail and there were several magazines in the pile. We were going through them, "Adam's, Adam's, Adam's.....{{{Scream}}}}." MINE! On page 82...the whole page...is my canvas of my uncles when they were young in Somerset Memories. I did a happy dance all over the house and I'm still a bit giddy. My son's fiancee thought I had lost it. It's been a long time scrappy dream.

If that's not enough I also received an email that Scrapbook News and Review is publishing 3 of my layouts in just a week or so. You can click on the icon on the right and it will take you there. It is an amazing magazine. I did the happy dance on that one too. Can you believe it?!? It's like being 50 is magical. I highly recommend it!


While we were partying I was also creating. I wanted to do something crazy and fun. Since I was going through all the old photos I picked this one of me up, scanned, enlarged and cut it up. I had fun with grunge, inks, Maya Road pins, Prima, Studio 490 stamps and paint. It's cool to just play sometimes.


Winners of the Celebration Birthday Party are:
1. Inks, Marla
2. Stamp Set, Regina
3. Grungepaper +, Tona
4. Grungeboard +, Lesa
5. The Hardware Store......

    Hi Debby looks like you had a great time with your B'day celecrations.Wish mine had been as great,but it was still nice to have the people that did come to mark my 50th there.Looking at your photo you look younger than 50.
