The My Digital Studio is so addicting!  I worked on a business card and  submitted it to Vista Print for printing.  If it had been designed by my favorite designer (Michelle), it would have cost me $25.00!    Front Back I'm also working on my 2010 Calendar which will print out to 12 x 12.  Once the year is over, I can take the pages and make them into a scrapbook.  I've also… Read More »

I was not able to attend my high school reunion on 19 September.  I'm going out to CA in November for my Aunt Rachel's 80th birthday party and I thought that was more important than the reunion.  I won't tell what year I graduated but let's just say that it was a couple of years ago! (LOL) Since I couldn't celebrate with my friends from high school, David and I… Read More »
