We are headed out for our annual Week at the Beach.
It is one of my favorite weeks of the year.
Our family is able to get away from our “normal” life and just relax at our beach house in Manzanita on the beautiful Oregon Coast. Logan is flying home to join us.
Clark is still backpacking through Europe having the time of his life so he won’t be there. He is having some amazing experiences though – check out his Polish Miracle! He has promised some pictures of the food he has been eating soon! He’s his mother’s son!
I’ve got a quilting project planned for our Week at the Beach as well as some reading and scrapbooking!
Many of you know that I have a scrapbooking homebased business – I have been a consultant with the direct sales company Creative Memories for almost 19 years!
There are many advantages and blessings to having a homebased business. One of the best things that has come as a result of my business, besides the many wonderful friends I have made, is that we were able to realize one of our dreams – to own a home at the beach.
Since our beach house has no internet connection I may be slow in approving comments, responding to questions and comments this week so please be patient.
I am also excited to announce to you today that I have started another blog – how many blogs does one girl need? Well I’ve decided you can never have too many shoes or too many blogs!
This new blog is a scrapbooking blog and I have started this new blog for purely selfish reasons. Ever since I began my Creative Memories business my main goal every year has been to get caught up on my albums. Don’t get me wrong – I have walked my talk all these years and have completed over 120 traditional albums and several dozen digital ones but I have never been TOTALLY caught up.
Well, I decided that this was the year. One thing I have learned about myself is that I do much better when I am held accountable so I have started this blog to chronicle my scrapbooking journey to completion and I am inviting you to join me!
Here’s the first project on the list – finish up Cali’s high school albums. It’s about 80 percent done.
This blog will be a private blog.
If you are interested in following me or joining me on this journey or just learning some new scrapbooking tips and ideas please leave a comment below or email me through the Contact form above and I will send you an invite to be able to access my new blog – Homebased Scrapbooker.
I look forward to sharing this journey with you! Let’s get scrapping!
Here’s the view I will be looking at from the living room of my beach house as I do a little scrapbooking this week! Want to join me??
I would love to be invited to the scrapbooking blog. Years ago I took my own baby photos out of those tacky/sticky photo albums from the 70′s to redo for myself. Umm, they are still in a box because I didn’t know where to start in scrapbooking. LoL
I would love to come to visit your scrapbooking blog. You have such great ideas. Thank you so much!
I hope it’s not too late to get an invite to the scrapping blog. Sounds so fun.
Would love to join in as I am in your downline. Always looking into ideas. Thanks for the invite.
Hello. I have already received an invitation to join your scrapbooking blog quite awhile ago but I have misplaced the blog address. Do you mind resending it to me? Thank you!
I hope it is not too late to be invited to join your scrapbooking blog. I need some inspiration to complete my son’s baby album- and I have to tell you he is 15 years old now! I am a former CM consultant- so I have all the required supplies- just need the motivation!
Thanks for your positive spirit!

When are you going to do this I’m looking forward to it. I’m already on this list so don’t add me 2 times. I can sure use some help and some different idea’s to get me going.

I just found your blog and I love it!! I, too, am a scrapbooker and would love to be able to view your scrapbooking blog!
Hi Leigh Anne! Can you share your scrapbooking blog with me? I’d love to get tips, ideas and just see what you are doing that I may be able to duplicate!
Would love to join your scrapbooking blog, Just came home from our 2-week vacation and I’m looking at several sets of photos I’d love to get into albums before I get caught up in our Fall activities. I’m sure you’ll be inspiring!
I would love to be able to see your scrapbooking blog also! It is a lot easier to watch someone work on it than actually do it, right? (grin!) Maybe I will learn what digital scrapbooking is!

Help, I lost the link to go to the new website, can you re-invite me? LOL Thanks
I would love to read your scrapbooking blog!
Thanks!
What a great idea… I am so far behind now, I use to stay up to date then life got away from me…
I would love to be able to follow you on your journey of catching up on your albums…especially since I’m often reminded how quickly our children grow and their albums just keep getting further and further behind…I’m hoping it will help motivate me.
I’d love for you to add me to your scrapbooking blog as well. I’m looking forward to hearing about your journey towards catching up.
I really need some inspiration in this area. I was so good about getting my girls albums done and then somehow life got in the way and I am sooo far behind now I don’t even know where to start
I hope its not to late but I would really love to follow your scrapbooking blog. I follow all your other posts and love it and look forward for more great ideas with scrapbooking because I so need the help. Thanks!
My scrapbooking blog is longe private, it is public. You can access it at http://www.homebasedscrapbooker.com Enjoy!
I have truly enjoyed visiting your blog. I am also a scrapbooker. A few years ago I surprized my three oldest children with a scrapbook . There were tears flowing that Christmas morning. The three amigos (we tagged them early in life) are married, have our grandbabies and we are very proud of them. We adopted our youngest son at birth and although I have tried to keep up his scrapbooks…well, you know, life! kept me away from it. So I am looking forward to beginning again. Also, I would like to do one for my husband and me.
Please allow me to subscribe to your new blog. I look forward to visiting it often! Thanks dj
