I’ve had a strangely busy week for someone who is still staying home all the time. On top of that, we went without internet for about 8 hours yesterday because of a Xfinity outage. I’m so dependent on the internet that it kind of messed with my entire day. I might need to work on that just a bit. lol!

Speaking of the internet, I sure love it for inspiration. I love searching for quotes and pinning them to Pinterest. I’ve been working on this board for years and thought this would be a good day to share a few of my favorites.

It took me a few extra days to finish my March roundup but I’m so happy to have it done now. I love having a record of our everyday life and my roundup tool helps me make sure I’m keeping track of these details in a quick and easy format.

Here’s the March graphic to help you with your monthly roundup. Feel free to save this image and use it on your own posts or layouts. I’m also including a fun GIF graphic to use in stories if you like to share those on Instagram of Facebook. Check out my tutorial here if you need help figuring out how to do that.

Now on to the roundup!

I’m always grateful when I find a funny little meme or snippet that makes me laugh. Humor really is a great stress reliever. I hope you all enjoy some of these funnies as well!

I’m so inspired by color and I’ve had the idea for a Color Stories series for a long time now. It’s so exciting to finally be introducing this collection. Of course, I had to start with Black & White because they go with everything! I think you will find these designs to be extremely versatile and easy to use on a wide variety of layouts.

This is a tutorial I’ve had in my mind for many months now and I’m so happy to finally get it published. Understanding how to use .png digital stamps and .abr brush files will change your scrapbooking and crafting life! I hope you enjoy watching this tutorial and be sure to watch all the way til the end. Just sayin!

I’ve taught myself a lot of technology tricks over the years, but I have to admit that Instagram Stories were a little hard for me to figure out at first. My daughter Riley had to walk me through how to add GIFS to stories so I asked her if she could share her knowledge here as well. She helped put together this awesome step-by-step visual tutorial. I hope you find it as helpful as I did! Be sure to check out my Instagram feed and stories as I’m posting to both a lot more these days.

Scrapbooking can be therapeutic for the person creating the page or album. A scrapbook can be therapeutic for the person looking at the album. While photo albums are also nice, I believe that it’s even more important to be able to read the thoughts and memories that go with the photos so I’m a firm believer in scrapbooks. That can still include photo albums if you do pocket style scrapping that includes journaling on the photos or on separate cards.

I have A LOT of experience in these areas so I’m excited to share a five really key points:

Today is our 30th wedding anniversary. It’s hard to believe it’s been that long. It’s also kind of amazing to think we knew each other for 10 years before we got married (we met in 7th grade) which means we’ve known each other for 40 years. I literally can’t imagine my life without this wonderful man and I’m incredibly grateful to have him by my side.
