Our digi dare this week was to scrap a secret (in keeping with the idea of Post Secret. I am not linking the blog because some of the content is quite graphic. Consider yourself warned.) I really liked the idea of the dare because, well, we all have secrets. But then I realized most of mine weren't something I could scrap and share -- I guess I am not ready to share my innermost thoughts. But, I finally came up with a few things that I thought would work -- things that I want my kids to know. Things that are good to get out in the open. I think I would like to do more of these...rather therapeutic.

Did you see all the AMAZING new stuff at the Shabby Shoppe?? I got my little hands on this stuff a few weeks back and have had so much fun with it! I especially LOVE the new Fontologie fonts GIGGLES and GIGGLES small caps. They come free with a $10 purchase and who can't spend $10 at the Shabby Shoppe?? Here are some LO's I did with the new goodies...
First...with the BOUNCE collection

Check back in later today (probably late afternoon) for the low-down on NSD stuff!
Hope everyone has a great weekend! Ours will be busy and fun!
Great post! Love the layouts, funny I was looking at all the great layouts in the post from the Shabby Shoppe yesterday when I saw the one of your two girls. In my mind popped 'oh those are Janet's girls', then I looked for layouts of the boys! ha ha yep found them too. I say funny because it is more like what I would think about a IRL friend :) But even though I don't post all the time I do enjoy your stories about the family. Seems like you could just be a neighbor around the corner. lol
Have a great weekend
