I know I had a little Blog Break. My great aunt died and I have been so busy with many projects. I’m so lucky to have so many opportunities in my life. I have been working on the About Me book from Creating Keepsakes that I bought at CKC in June. I only have this page completed so far. It’s so easy to add text to photos using Scrapblog. Afterall, isn’t the story the biggest part of scrapbooking? I hope you enjoy my journey as I create this scrapbook.

Well, I placed second in the Derby Hat contest!!!! I would be lying if I didn’t say I was a little dissapointed that I didn’t win, but I am pretty pleased that I won second. I took pictures of all the hats and I really want to create a scrapbook of them so you can see them.

Sorry I have been so lame, but I am back now and ready to create!

All I have been working on the past week and half is thinking about this Kentucky Derby hat for our United Way campaign at work. I had a million different ideas and as I researched I decided on the Garland of Roses as my theme. I hope you click on the photo to see the entire process, my Scrapblog is about 12 pages. I really enjoyed working on this project. From the design to the completion it felt really good to be passionate about something.

The judging is on Friday. Keep your fingers crossed for me! Enjoy the Scrapblog.
