I have the coolest relatives! As you know you can’t pic ’em so it’s nice to have a sister in LA, and two first cousins (who are sisters) that I adore. My sister is the olderst, followed by Judy, me and last but not least Patti.

     Judy lives in NC and Patti in AK. She’s the adventurous one. We were close growing up and try to see each other from time to time.

    Last week was Scrapbook Hostess Club. A group of gals come over monthly to scrap a 2 page 12″ x 12″ layout where we enjoy wine, snacks and fellowship. Each member takes a turn being hostess-providing snacks and getting hostess benefits. Each member is required to make a $25 minimum order with benefits kicking in at the $150 amount.

     You might notice that I don’t always add a title. I try to offer suggestions, but I have found that if I don’t already have pictures in mind it sometimes stifles my creative juices. I was thinking sisters/siblings or cousins for this particular layout.
