ReplyDeleteI love when you post your scrapbook pages - you are so creative! I feel it always takes me forever to plan a page spread. I just ordered a ton of pictures from the past year and now have to find some time to scrap them!
ReplyDeleteI love Kristan Higgans and have her newest book, The Best Man, sitting on my shelf waiting to be read for a tour next month.
Have a great week!

I haven't managed to touch my scrapbooks in eons. :-(

Your layouts are gorgeous. Have a great week of reading.
ReplyDeleteI love scrapbooking but I don't have the money to keep up with it like I would like to, unfortunately. It can be such an expensive hobby!
ReplyDeleteThe Water Witch looks good!
I will look for your Mistress to the Crown review. I lost interest in it toward the middle, sadly.
Sounds like Beautiful Creatures is the book and movie of the moment. I must check it out! :)
ReplyDeleteLOVE you IMWAYR Owl button very cute - did you make it yourself?
ReplyDeleteI really want to see Beautiful Creatures but one of those things where I feel I should read the book first!
