celebrating

I think it would only be suitable to congratulate myself on reaching the 50 post mark on this blog. I do not say this because I am vain. I say this because I was once a very skeptical blog-reader. When I was told that I should start my own blog, I was the first to laugh and say "who on earth would read what I have to say?"

Well......who knows who's actually reading all this. But I am having a lot of fun posting for you; bringing you a little piece of my scrapbooking life, snippets of my family, new layouts, the occassional technique (have to get better at that one) and lots of fun photos.
So, to mark my 50th Post I want to have my very first contest -- online.

Here's the deal.

This past weekend I spent 3 days at a fabulous camp (Valleyview) scrappin' with some of my friends. Friends that I only get to see this particular weekend. I had gone scrap-shopping a few weeks prior (paper, embellies, ribbon, etc.) and everything that I purchased, I kept in the shopping bags to only use during this weekend. Wow!!!! Was that every hard!!!! I was sooooo excited to get to work with my new stuff. I had an awesome time visiting with my sister-in-laws (they both sat at the same table as me all weekend -- that's the best part of the weekend), eating food I didn't have to prepare or clean up, going to bed whenever I wanted, getting up whenever I wanted, eating a whole bag of chocolate Mini Eggs already on the first night (they were supposed to last all weekend -- ooops.) and scrappin' lots of fun layouts.

So.......here's the 50th Post question of the week:

Can you guess how many single-page layouts I created this weekend?

All I need is a number. Here's a hint: I don't go for quantity. I go for sleep.

So, post your guess in the comments and I will, of course, pick the closest guess next week. The lucky person will be sent a fabulous package of some of my favourite products. Tell your friends; they can play too. Then I will post some of my fave layouts from the weekend.

Here's a sneak peek at some to leave you hangin'.
