Extreme Blog Makeover

As you can tell a makeover has been done to the blog! YAY!! Thanks Lisa for doing this. Since we haven't congregated in Cashton for over a year and I don't think any of us really have any ambition to get back there (at least Lisa surely doesn't) Lisa decided to make a new blog header. Does the kit look familiar? Yep you guessed it. It is the same kit that she used to make Tara's baby shower invitations. It is a very fun kit!

Also, if any of you have any links you would like to share on this blog, by all means send them to Cyndi, Stephanie, or Lisa. We would love to update the blog with your favorites!!!

Stephanie and Heidi have both taken on a new venture. They both have photography businesses and we would love to put up your website links if you have them! Or if you have Flickr accounts, that would also work!

S0 onto bigger and better things:

We have another Scrapbook weekend coming soon at Renee's house again. Her house seems to be the temporary retreat until it sells! :-) Thank you so much Renee for letting us use your home!!

WHEN - March 5-7

WHERE - Renee's House

WHAT - Scrapbooking (Duh!)

WHO - All of YOU!!!

RSVP to Cyndi or leave a comment on this post! Just don't do it anonoymously. We won't know who you are then!!!

Hope to see you in March!

A baby boy for Pam Scholz

Pam Scholz who joined us on our Cashton trips in 2005 and 2006 has delivered a healthy baby boy!

Matthew Jay (for daddy Jayson) was born Thurs. Oct. 9th at 4:16
He weighed 7.5 lbs and is 20 inches long

Mom and baby are doing great.

Obviously this bundle of joy will keep Pam from joinging us this year but we look forward to seeing her at future Sisterhood events.

Congratulations Pam!

They Don't Call it Beta For Nothing

Well...I've heard back from several of you, that the documents I've linked in to our blog aren't working out quite the way I expected. So - don't worry - it's not you - it's Google!

I will try to find a suitable alternative for us (perhaps in the Google Groups page, which I think is working better than the Documents) and will let the group know how we're going to work on rides and tools for our upcoming weekend. You can expect to see another post later on in the week.

Happy Scrapping!

First Layout Challenge

Let's do a layout challenge!

Cyndi showed me the Pencil Lines blog...it has a weekly sketch, plus artist's interpretations. The link is in our "links" section on the right hand side of this blog. I thought, in honor of our newly created blog, we should do a layout challenge using the most recent sketch...Sketch 103.

Here is the sketch:


And here is my layout:

If you've got questions about Blogger, feel free to get in touch with me, or with Lisa Nippoldt...we've been using Blogger a little bit, and can help you get your creations posted for all to see.

Happy Scrapping!
