No Foolin' Around, All Kinds of Things Goin' On

First off - no, there was no sketch challenge yesterday, but hang in there, it's coming. :) Second thing, there are big bells to be rung and horns to toot over our very own Gloria Stengel who has been asked to be part of Graphic 45's design team!! They have a wonderful line of papers (hope to use some this year in kits) and it'll be exciting to see what Gloria produces, as her work is always inspirational. CONGRATS, Gloria!! Next, and almost as exciting, is I scrapbooked some more last weekend. I know. What is going on? I haven't scrapbooked or produced this much in two years!! I met up with Jennifer H. another talented AS designer, who lives nearby, and we cropped away. Okay, so we talked most of the night and cropped a little. Which is evident in the fact that we got more accomplished the last time we met up because we were at separate tables, LOL. But I did manage to complete one 2-pager and get the photos down on a second 2-pager, it just needs to be embellished. Below you can see the completed layout (using paper from December's Smaller kit.) I won't tell you how long it took to complete it though, or point out the fact that the 4 y.o. in the photos below is now 9!
Next, is simply because he's too cute not to show. My 1 y.o. being a big helper with snow removal. My daughter grabbed the camera when Matthew saw Daddy shoveling the snow off the lawn (our front yard faces due south, and if you don't shovel it off, it stays there until May.) He went and grabbed a shovel more his size, though not so much, and proceeded to help out.
Finally, there are winner from the past two weeks that need acknowledgements. Fantastic layouts produced, which are certainly motivating me. So, congrats to:
