Hey! I love to read! Let me just start out with that. I’ve had eye-glasses since I was 16 years old. Almost 30 years. As I’ve gotten older, I’ve had a hard time reading because I wasn’t able to see as clearly and my tri-focals had to be in just the right spot to read. Yesterday I was reading a 2-book series by Carla Kelly (Borrowed Light & Enduring Light) They take place in SE Wyoming and I had read about 1/3 of book one. I usually read in the bathtub, but I had an illuminating thought last night. If I could hold the book right in front of my nose in the tub and see without the eye-glasses, I could do that in my bed. LOL! It’s only taken me years to discover this obvious piece of wisdom. I’ve always had to use my glasses to read street signs, etc, and it just didn’t occur to me….duh! So I’m guessing you’re laughing at me and you should be be….  Long story short, I read all night. I finished book 2 this morning at 6:30 A.M. I had truly missed reading. I love “holding” the book”. I’d been considering a e-Reader, but didn’t want to lose that “piece” of myself. So here’s my thought for the week….sometimes the idea for a LO has been in front of your nose all along…. and my advice? Well, don’t wait 30 years to figure it out!

Wait, I have to tell another funny on myself. As a telephone agent (survey taker), I type what I hear all day long. I’ve got LDS General Conference on and I am listening as I write this post. So if suddenly I sound very profound…. I hope it’s me typing and that I don’t start plagiarizing a talk. LOL

Chelle’s been busy doing 2 new alphas for us this week. Fill Me In {Bundle}, {Marker} and {Pencil}. You can get them as a bundle or individually. I’ve linked up the images for you below.

Chelle provided not 1 but 2 Digital Scrapbook Tutorial: They too are linked below.

As a reminder, Chelle provides this you-tube tutorial on what to do when doodles cross over the edge of a paper.

If your mail client doesn’t play friendly with the videos, you’ll find all Chelle’s videos on her You-Tube Channel.

In our newsletter’s this week, Chelle hooked us up with a link to make the “Family Banner” hybrid project. It has so many applications, but I see it with a Christmas or Thanksgiving application. I”m sure you have ideas a plenty.
