Digital Scrapbooking??

So, those who know me know I CANNOT scrapbook....I think if I had tons of time (and money!!) I could maybe be decent at it, but I just don't right now!! I want to make my mom (who lives in England and doesn't get to see us very often) a photo-book type thing of the past 2 years of her visits with Bella. But I want it to be CUTE. And relatively EASY. Oh and FAST, because we leave to see her in 3 weeks!!!

Any thoughts? Ideas? Thanks guys!!

Family Pics...warning there are LOTS














So, the prom fashion show was just okay....pretty mediocre and therefore I will no longer dwell on the overall failure of it all...

Instead, I will share these DARLING pictures that my AMAZING friend Ashley took for my family. Some background: she is from Cardston, and we both have such busy and conflicting schedules that we didn't get a chance to do these family pictures until 2 weeks ago. In Lethbridge. Where it was freezing cold. And so ridiculously windy that the streets were bare and Bella's enormous flower flew off her hat and down the alley way. So basically that made for a quick little shoot (30 mins) and not many locations/pictures, but somehow Ashley managed to get these fantastic shots of my cute lil fam!! I love them, and I love her for capturing it all! Next year I'm doing family pictures in the summer though!!! Her stuff is amazing, check her out www.sentimentsbyashley.blogspot.com

Thank you....

....to the wonderful few people who helped me with this crazy event. Hopefully everyone who read this and decided not to comment still may know some people to pass on the info to. I am absolutely terrified of tonight being a failure. I've never done anything like this and I've never felt so insecure of myself. I feel alone and misunderstood. And now I'm just ranting, so I will stop.

Thank you Emily, Val, Becka, Susie and Megan. Seriously, without you guys this would've been soooooooooo much harder!!

I will post tomorrow, hopefully with some pictures of the show and news of crowds of eager grads ready to view a fabulous fashion show!!!

SERIOUSLY, I NEED YOUR HELP!

So, week one of grad trunk shows is over....we got 4 different MODEST GRAD GOWN designers to lend us their entire PROM 2010 collections for 2 weeks...week one was in Cardston, week 2 is starting Monday here in Calgary!!!

We're doing a fashion show on Tuesday...should be tons of fun, but I haven't really had the time to organize it due to my crazy schedule lately!! Soooooo...this is where YOU (anyone? anyone??!) come in....I really need about 20 folding chairs that will fit chair covers over them...and I need some kind of dark fabric to drape as a backdrop over the entrance to the change room area in the store....this is so the girls can change behind there and make a dramatic entrance!! Any tips at this point would be of GREAT help, so comment away!!

Plus, if you know of ANYONE that might be REMOTELY interested in the chance to try on grad gowns for ONE WEEK ONLY (then they all get sent back to Utah!!) please send them to BB!!! Thanks so much guys, I REALLY REALLY APPRECIATE IT!!! :)
