Creative Memories

Creative Memories offers scrapbooking albums, supplies and services to help you get years of photographs organized and preserved - quickly, easily, and safely.

This is my shameless plug for the company that I am a consultant for. They offer products for Traditional scrapbooking, Digital scrapbooking, as well as a few home decor items.

I will not be a consultant for much longer. . thanks in part to the fragile state of the economy. I, like most other people would love to spend all my money on scrapbooking, but can't always do it. I hope you have a minute to just check out my website, and see if anything interests you.

I love the products that Creative Memories offers, I have purchased a lot of them! Enjoy!

Halloween Treats

I'm not very clever these days, so I haven't contributed much, but someone posted a link to this today, and it was really fun - I thought it would be a good thing to share here.
This was a telecast on Studio5 - cute ideas for Halloween treats.
(I especially love the little bite-sized "candy apples.")
Enjoy!

Letter of the Week Website

The other day I was looking at my friend's blog and she posted this website. I thought I would share it with everyone. It has free online curriculum for children. The activities are made for stay-at-home mothers. They divide it into age groups: birth to 12 months, 12 to 24 months, 2-7, 4-5, 6-8, and 9-11. It has different lesson plans for each week with books to read, activities, songs, science, etc for each week's theme. So far from what I can see, it looks very fun and easy to use. It looked like it had great things to help your preschoolers get ready for kindergarten with letters, sounds, numbers, etc. So try it out! http://www.letteroftheweek.com/index.html
My friend that gave me the website, said her son (3 years old) looks forward to "playing school" each day. It only takes her 20 minutes.
Plus here is another website with activities for preschoolers to early readers: http://www.starfall.com/ When I lived in Idaho, they used this website in kindergarten and 1st grade. Hope they are helpful and will give you ideas on what to do with your children at home!
