BLOG-ABRATE THE END OF SUMMER
Make new friends. Leave encouraging comments. Send out some link love...surely it will come back to you!
AND JUST IN CASE...you're new to Lessons from the Scrapbook Page, you can read a bit more about me (if you'd like). Here's the Reader's Digest version:
Overwhelmed, overscheduled, stressed out, junior high English teacher and coach ends up in the hospital in desperate need of rest. Can't sit still, gotta do something, why not scrapbook? Layouts look better than my life, maybe I should slow down and figure out why...voila! Lessons from the Scrapbook Page and Real Women Scrap are born.
You can learn from my "pain"—subscribe to the free monthly newsletter, "Your Life and Layouts" for inspiration, tips, ideas, and a FREE E-BOOK, How To Organize Your Photos. JOIN NOW.
Take back your life, your time, and your dreams from the tyranny of busyness and overload with Real Women Scrap. During the month of August, 30% of all profits from book sales will be donated to charity.
Don’t forget to sign the Mr. Linky and leave a comment. For you first timers – just fill in your name and paste in your URL – preferably the URL of your Blog-Abration post. Anyone who participates by posting and linking from their blog, and signing the Linky by 12pm PST August 31, 2007, will be eligible for the prize drawing.
Please DO NOT leave your link in this box if you are not a participating blogger. PLEASE respect the Mr. Linky—it is for people to find other Blog-Abration participants and for the contest drawing.
