I ♥ Candy ...

ummm ... actually, I don't really love candy all that much. I LOVE good food and I'm a pretty big fan of desserts (cupcakes, anyone?), but candies aren't really my thing. Last night, we had a quiet girls' night in at my place. My mom and grandmother played cards all evening and I sat at the kitchen table and scrapped. I decided to complete the second challenge over at the Category Stories blog, and the challenge was to make a layout about your favorite candy.

I ended up going out and buying two bags of M&M's and after taking dozens of pictures (who knew M&M's are so fun to photograph?!?!) I managed to come up with this layout:

The journaling says: I don't have much of a sweet tooth. Honest. I'd much prefer spaghetti and meatballs over cookies or chocolate bars. But every now and then I get a serious craving for M&M's. And when the craving strikes, there's no looking back.

Ready For A Challenge?!

There's a new scrapbook challenge blog on the block and I'm lucky enough to be a part of it!! :o]

My friends and I have been challenging each other for months and we finally decided to invite the rest of the scrappin' world to join in on our fun. I got to issue the first challenge and I think it's a fun one! Oh, and did I mention we're giving away goodies from Elle's Studio????

So swing by our site and leave us some love!

What's on my iPod these days ....

Priscilla Ahn. Ingrid Michaelson. Amy Winehouse. Third Day. Landon Pigg. Oh, and of course Neil Diamond. Who doesn't love to sing along to Sweet Caroline?! "Sweeeeet Carooooline ... lalala ... good times never felt so good ..."

Anyway, the challenge over at Category Stories was to make a layout about your playlist. My playlist contains all of the artists listed above (and many others too, of course) for one simple reason: I love their lyrics. OK, so maybe Amy Winehouse's songs aren't the most inspiring, but all the other artists on my playlist are incredibly poetic and their songs really make me stop and think. Here's the page I came up with to pay tribute to my favorite singer-songwriters:

I think I'll go listen to some music right now. :o]
