Today, I thought I would try something new and fun to my blog! Let’s play an easy game.
Look at the person’s post above yours, and complete their sentence. Add another sentence to add to the story, but don’t finish your sentence so the next commenter can fill it in.You can post as many times as you want to increase your chances of winning, but your name can’t show up two times in a row; you have to wait for someone else to comment between your posts.
I will pick a random commenter for the giveaway. I think it’ll be fun to read a story created by ALL OF US.
Last day to be entered into the giveaway is Friday, February 12th, by 11:59 pm. 
What’s up for grabs?! Well, at least $25 worth of scrapbooking supplies. C’mon, now! Who doesn’t like FREE scrapbook stuff?!
Here’s an example:
Sarah: Two dogs walked outside to find…
Commenter One: …a cat. They started to…
Commenter Two: …chase it along the seashore kicking up tons of sand. Gloria was…
Commenter Three: …upset that they bolted out of the house. Why?! Because…
Does that make sense? Well, if it does… let’s play! I’ll start…
Once upon a time…
Usually, when I’m out for a drive, Maui gets to be the official co-pilot. No, I didn’t make those rules; she did. Just because she’s older and bigger than Hilo, I think Maui likes to be in charge. …and being in the front seat is no exception.
However, yesterday, Hilo was ecstatic on Mommy’s errand run. Here’s why:
Now, this little munchkin thinks he rules the world. Too bad he doesn’t realize that Mommy actually controls his world — food, dog toys, walks, etc.!
On a completely different note, I’ve become impatient waiting for spring. 
Looking at snow pictures from everyone, makes me crave the warmth of the sunshine when I’m spending time out in our patio. Speaking of the patio, we plan on redoing the whole darn thing this spring/summer. I can’t wait. I have to get ready to start prepping the garden for new flowers and vegetables.
Here's our cute little garden in the spring. I can't wait for all the green to come back! I'm totally looking forward to it.
We’ve actually added some stuff to the patio since that picture was taken. There is now an outdoor shelf for small potted plants, which I’m so fond of. …and we have a BBQ grill now. I don’t think we could have made it through the summer without one.
…and because it’s been so chilly, I thought I would share some older images from this past spring/summer to make it feel somewhat warm during these cold days:
Hopefully those pictures warmed your day up just a tad.
I’ve got layouts I want to share, so check back soon!
The response to my opinion of Martha was actually pretty interesting. I didn’t realize a lot of you are on the same page as me when it comes to Martha Stewart. Phew! I thought you were all going to come and beat me upside the head for not liking her. To the rest of you, *cough* Katrina, save yourself while you can. Just kidding! By the way, to clarify her punches being “good” – they aren’t MARTHA STEWART, lol. She bought over EK Success. The new packaging should say EK Success on the bottom. Yup, talk about a craft monopoly. I’m just waiting for her to buy over a big paper company. It better not be Dunder Mifflin, hehe. Just sayin’. 
Anyway, I seriously want to see Martha’s scrapbook layouts. Has anyone ever seen a picture of her stuff? Can anyone direct me to her ACTUAL work!? I’d LOVE to see it. I find it amazing that she’s monopolizing the crafting industry, but I hardly see her creativity. Hmm…
