Ok...I haven't posted in, well, a year, so I'm really confused, since Blogger has totally changed its look in that time.
But let's ignore that for now, shall we, and let celebrate the face that I'm BACK!!!!!!
Whoohoo!
For those of you who were unaware, I spent a year abroad studing in Israel, but now I'm home, and I'm going ot try to keep my posting regular.
I sadly haven't got the chance to make a single card since I got home, with all the unpacking and shopping and cleaning to do, BUT I'm planning on making a SUPER FANTASTIC AWESOME SCRAPBOOK of my year away, since I have nothing better to do this summer anyways (except watch the Olympics, which I'm PSYCHED for!! Gymnastics, anyone?)
So that's the plan, anyways. I still need to order Snapfish photos before I can start anything, but once I do, I really think I'll get this scrapbook done. I am committed!
And now for some pictures....
I didn't want to just put up pictures of me and my friends, since this is a card-making blog, and I don't want to put up pictures of anyone who might not want me to do so, so I've searched through my pictures to try to find my crafty-est pictures and any cards I may have taken pictures of.
Enjoy!
