Well I had a feeling I wouldn't be a very good blogger! I need to set a specific day to update my blog I guess or it'll never get done. We went to Bounce Town this morning and then to McDonalds for lunch followed by a trip to Target. A good morning :o) I've picked up a couple of new scrapbooking books recently. All of which I would highly recommend. The first is 'Real.Life.Scrapbooking.' by Rebecca Cooper. She's a busy stay-at-home mom of 3 kids (2 at the time she wrote the book) and how she fits scrapbooking into her busy schedule with lots of time-saving tips. She also talks about scrapbooking real life moments and not just big events and holidays, something I'm trying to do more of (of course I forgot the bloody camera this morning! Next time). Lots of great layout ideas in here too. The next book is by Becky Higgins and is called 'The best of becky Higgins Sketches'. I wanted this for Christmas but Santa couldn't find it and I've been hunting it down ever since. This book is set up in sections based on the number of photos you would like to use in a layout and then has tons of sketches for you to choose from with a sample of a layout to go with each one. This is truly a great resource to have on hand. last but not least by any means is a book by Ali Edwards called 'Life Artist'. This book is also filled to the brim with layouts all done by Ali herself. She has a very distinctive style, which I like. I have just read the first few chapters of this book so far and I love it. Tip: don't read this book before going to bed or you'll never switch your brain off! This book is about Ali's philosophy behind scrapbooking and so far it makes so much sense.
So if you are looking for a good scrapbooking book, these are all good choices :o)

I'm going to try to add a video to my blog but I'm not sure if it will work.

Enjoy your day.

Ruth.
