It's All About the Candy

Sure costumes are fun, but if your household is anything like mine--Halloween is all about the candy.

So, why not devote a layout or two to what the kids are so devoted to?

Trick-Or-Treat! Scrapping's Neat!

Which of these things is not like the other?

Luckily for all of us, fall/Halloween themed products are all over the place for us to try!

Where You're Going...Where You've Been...

We sometimes quote Forrest Gump in our household more than a family should.

However, one of the most interesting things military family members may want to eventually remember and share are the places they have been--both the locations of deployed loved ones as well as the different duty stations of the family.

Plenty of scrapbook designers are eager to help you design perfect pages to track your own map.

Make a Special Valentine

Sometimes, military families have to express their Valentine's sentiments from a distance.  And, let's face it:  it doesn't have to be February 14th for you to want to send your love long distance.

Ali Edwards' blog has a great, step-by-step tutorial on creating a wonderfully amped-up love note.  Trust me, it's classier than a lipstick, sticky note!

The Greatest Love Story Ever Told...Military Style

Valentine's Day is quickly approaching and maybe you're mind has turned toward thoughts of hearts, flowers, and romance.

In my frequent spins through cyberspace, I found inspiration in something that might interest a military scrapbooker--a comprehensive kit to help you tell your love story, whatever it may be.

And, if you're like me, chances are you already have everything you need to make this project "in stock".

Maybe Mini Is the Way to Go?

When larger scrapbook projects seem overwhelming, I've thought it might be nice to try a mini album.

In looking for resources on this manageable project, I found some inspiration in cyberspace.

I'm not surprised there are already lots of sites devoted to the mini album and all its versatility.

Letters Home...How To Preserve Mail Call For History's Sake

If your military loved one has been deployed, you may have letters you wish to preserve.  Scrapbookers may realize that preserving a letter isn't as easy as adhering it to a page and putting it in an album.  Those who exchange letters with military members may wish to preserve their correspondence whether they are avid scrapbookers or not.

How do we protect and preserve our letters?  It may be an uphill battle, but it isn't impossible.
