I'm technically not supposed to take over hosting until 12/1, but I'll be on a plane from California to Utah tomorrow, so I figured I'd get a jump on things... And jumping is exactly what I've been doing!
First, a bit about me... I'm a proud contributing editor to Simple Scrapbooks. I also have a scrapbooking blog and podcast.
A writer at heart, I am beyond excited that my first book, Snippets: Mostly True Tales from the Lighter Side of Scrapbooking, is coming out at the end of the week! Over the next few days, I'd love to share a bit more about the book, what's going on behind-the-scenes as we get ready to launch, and more details of my trip.
What's gotten me almost as excited as the book is that I am now the new mommy to one fur-child (and three not-so-furry ones). Here's Frank:
Isn't he adorable? Is he the cutest dog ever? You tell me. If you've got a cuter pet than that, show me. Post a photo to the Simple Scrapbooks Gallery with the tag, "cute pet." And if you've got a pet layout, that's even better! Do share. I'll be doing plenty of pup scrapping soon, I'm sure. If you've got any recommendations on cute puppy-themed products, tell me about them in the comments section. I can always use an excuse to shop!
Looking forward to some puppy layouts. He's so darn cute!!

What a cutie! I won't say that mine are cuter but they are pretty darn cute too. I'll try to post a pic in the gallery. :)

Yay, Lain's here! Congrats on the book! It looks awesome. I've asked Santa for it, but I've also special ordered it from my LSS, just in case. ;) Congrats on the puppy!

Hi Lain...
Coming from a new puppy owner (since end of July) get ready..to go insane ;-) Someone told me prior that it would be like having a newborn..should have listened! Frank is so cute ...The layouts/minis I have been doing are just adapted to puppy! BTW So need you to do LOAD again...
