Freebie of the day: Michelle Coleman's Shabby Blue

I have been an admired of Michelle Coleman since her days when she went under the logo of Second Mile Designs. She then joined ScrapArtist, and is now at Little Dreamer Designs. One thing is for sure, she is an awesome designer and has gotten even better. But enough about her, check out these papers! Best part....they are free! Here is a link to her blog. Please leave her a thank you note if you download. And while there, check out the current challenge and you must stop by her shop, but only if you have $$ because you will want everything in her shop.

15 Minutes of Fame

Last year, while at our local stumping grounds, Smithville Park/Rancocas Creek, we were skipping pebbles in the Creek when Liam engaged in conversation with a young fellow, who turned out to be Douglass Bovitt, a photographer for The Courier Post, here in South Jersey. He hit it off with Douglas and next thing you know he asked me if he could take a few photos of the kids. There were no guarantees that the photos would make it to print, but they did! The kids were thrilled to see themselves published in the newspaper.
(Headline, photo and journaling are clippings from the actual newspaper article.)
