I love making holiday treats—it’s always a joy to revisit those special recipes that only come out this time of year. This project originally was part of our 2009 holiday season, but I never transferred it to this blog. So, I’m excited to share it with you here now! I’ve also included some notes at the end on how to make a gluten-free version since I was diagnosed with celiac disease almost four years ago.

The other day, I shared some little details about our house on Instagram that make it feel like home. It inspired me to turn those moments into a scrapbook page—and that’s exactly what I did!

Things are getting wild in my shop today with the release of my newest collection WILD FUN. I've worked on this one for a few months, and I love all these little animals and natural elements. I'd love to hear your favorite parts of the collection. For me, it's this little lion. He makes me smile! I also love this color palette. It has been so easy to scrap with!

Summer has been very full for me this year. If you follow me on Instagram (and I hope you do!), you might have seen how much fun July was for our family. We spent lots of time with grandsons, time at our cabin, a trip to the Utah Shakespeare Festival, and a 4-wheeling adventure, and we enjoyed making memories every day.

I haven't had many scrapbook pages published in books and magazines, but I also haven't submitted many for publication. I never seem to get around to sending them in, and nowadays, there really aren’t many print publications around. I love to post my layouts here on my blog, on YouTube, Instagram & Facebook, so I hope you follow me on my socials.

Do you know what’s wonderful about little kids when they get creative? They don’t have all those voices in their heads telling them they are doing it wrong. Hopefully, they are surrounded by adults who are willing to provide the space and supplies, give them a safe environment for creating, and give them the freedom to try out whatever method works best for them. That’s the ideal, and I wish we could all have this type of experience!

I’m on a roll with scrapbooking three days in a row! For me, the hardest part is getting started. Once I get going, I usually find my momentum. I loved putting together this Adventureland page but struggled with it for a while because I didn’t have enough photos to fill all the spaces. Pocket cards are great for this, and I also found a few scenic pictures from an old CD of photos I bought at Disneyland in 2010. How’s that for being resourceful?‍

I’m back with a single-page layout for our Tomorrowland memories from our 2023 trip to Disneyland. Tomorrowland has some of our favorite rides. Alex loves the Star Tours ride, and Riley has always loved Space Mountain. However, she didn’t get to ride it on this trip since she was an expectant mother.‍
