I love my job. Seriously love it. But despite what some people seem to think, we don’t actually get to scrapbook all day long! In fact, rare is the day where we actually pause to PLAY and CREATE.
Happily, yesterday was one of those days. We had our weekly training meeting, and then we spread out the goodies and got crafty! We wanted to let you, our readers, know just how much we love and appreciate you. And what better time than Valentine’s Day to express our gratitude?
You inspire us. You amaze us. You touch us. We are so blessed to have readers and contributors who are passionate about documenting their stories and creating treasured keepsakes.
Before I sign off for today, I can’t resist sharing a layout with you. My parents are the ultimate Valentine couple. They celebrated their 50th anniversary this past summer by renewing their wedding vows. Isn’t true love incredible?

So from us to you, Happy Valentine’s Day! We’re so glad to be yours every day of the year!

My scrappy budget is pretty small, so when Michael’s stopped allowing coupons on magazines and books I stopped buying them. I find my inspiration online now.
Wonderful cards, great post, and those two love birds are very inspiring!!! They remind me to take it one day at a time with my DH…
Thanks for sharing!!!
