(I wasn't talking about this gianormous "R" though it is BIG too...)
...BIG enough for me to interupt my late night planning for our day at Disney's California Adventure so I could help spread the exciting news all abuzz in the scrapbook world!
(That photo, by the way, was taken at the entrance of Calif Disney way back in 2001! The little boy is now 14 and taller than me. The girl on the right - one of the flower girls from my wedding, visiting from Japan - is in her early 20's.)
So as you can see, this photo is a little blast from the past... and tomorrow we'll be friends reuniting for a new adventure.
Just like the news I am so excited to share with you!
The visionary team (Stacy Julian, Angie Lucas, Wendy Smedley, and Cathy Zielske - to be specific!), that brought the world Simple Scrapbooks
Let me explain myself with a little more detail:
Big Picture Classes can now add “publisher” to its educational resume! Ella Publishing Co., home of top-quality eBooks for scrapbookers and crafters, is now a part of the Big Picture Classes family!!
