Thanks to Linda at A Day in the Life of... for giving me this award; I hope you will go check out her charming blog as well!

I don't think I ever mentioned it here but I took a little move over at If It's Groovy and am now leading up the Faithbooking team! Our challenge this month was to create a layout based on Genesis 1:1. Check out If It's Groovy to see my layout as well as those of my teammates Vanessa and Anna. I would love to see your take on this challenge as well...email me if you do one and I will post it here!

Laura ready for her first day -- EVER -- of going off to school! (Either that or posing for a Sears catalog, still not quite sure.)

Happy September!

Just checkin' in! I am going to take a hiatus from posting challenges while I focus on getting back into the swing of the school routine and preparing for Julia's upcoming wedding, but I will still be scrapping, I'm sure, so I will still be dropping in to share. Hope you will stick around!
