race for the cure

my step-mother, a breast cancer survivor herself, is walking in the race for the cure in naples, fl on march 10th. my mother succombed to breast cancer nearly 13 years ago and my father was recently diagnosed with esophogeal cancer. i'm sure all of you have been touched by cancer in one way or another. anyhow, if you donate to my step-mother's team, i'd surely appreciate it and you might just get a little surprise from me as well! just let me know below.

LOAD with Lain Ehmann GIVEAWAY

it’s the new year, and the photos are piling up on your hard drive or your scrap desk. But you’re not really feeling the love. you’re a bit burnt-out and tired…

or
 

you’re raring to go, but making scrapbooking a priority has fallen by the wayside as you tackle “life:” work, home, kids, friends… when are you going to get time to scrap?
 

or
 

you’re a new scrapbooker and are still trying to find your sea legs in this crazy, seemingly all-consuming hobby.

 

if any of those sound like you, then layout a day might be right up your street.

in her effervescent and down-to-earth style, lain invites you to spend February with her in LOAD 212, creating 29 layouts in 29 days (it’s leap year!). each day brings a new page prompt, layout example, and video to help inspire you. LOAD 212’s theme is past perfect, and participants will be mining recent (or ancient!) history for unique story-telling opportunities that share a little bit of themselves on their scrapbook pages. with a private flickr gallery and message board, scrappers share inspiration and motivation with sister LOADsters in a safe and friendly internet community. to register or see what past participants have said about LOAD, visit the class information page at http://www.layoutaday.com/212pp

 

BUT WAIT there is MORE!

i have a seat to giveaway in the class! i registered yesterday so you would be joining me on this adventure. my plan is to get a little more recent history done. i have some straggler stories in my january - june 2011 photo files that need telling. so i'm going to try and work on those for the month.

leave a comment below about what you would work on and i'll pick a winner on saturday morning!
