Scrapbooking is a wonderful method to make memories come to life whenever you want them. Scrapping is different from ordinary photos albums as it involves colors, pictures and journals. It demonstrates whatever you felt or what an individual went through those days and months. Sometimes, like having a baby, creating baby scrapbook ideas can be a large part of your life.

Do you have people in your life who are hard to buy gifts for?
Maybe a business colleague, an elderly relative, a kid’s teacher?
Sometimes you need something perfect, something hand-crafted, something special, and something you didn’t have to worry about making.
May I suggest the simply wonderful jams, made by my daughter Maggie. Every single person I know who has tried then has gone simply bonkers over the unique flavor combinations, the way the fruit comes through in every one, and the great hand-crafted texture.
These are jams that will please every person on your gift list.
We are a jam-making family, going back a few generations, so Maggie has put all that knowledge about fruit, flavors, and jam into her creations.
Every jar is hand cut, small batch preserves, created with the highest quality local ingredients, made in the peak of their season. Organic and local fruits, herbs, and spices are used whenever possible. She uses only organic, fair trade sugar.
The flavors are fresh and amazing and the colors truly glisten like jewels. If you have never had the treat of home-made jam, you be bowled over by how wonderful they are. If you have had home-made jam, this takes it to a whole new level.
She sells them through her site, Jams by Mags, and in her Etsy shop. They both opened for the season on Saturday.
As her Mom, I’m so tremendously proud of her and these great products. As a foodie, I’m impressed with how much better they are than other jams out there.
Go visit Jams by Mags and put in an order for yourself and some for gifts, I already have!

The deadline for submissions to Stitched with Stories has been extended to May 15, 2008.
The book will be a collection of stories about how needlework (particularly needlepoint) has affected your life. This is a great chance to share your love of stitching with others. The stories can be about how you learned to stitch, a wonderful class, a great (or failed) project. You can write about teaching others to stitch, what needlework means to you — whatever you like!
If you have a great needlework story, I’d like to consider it for the book. It should be engaging (so you want to read more). They can be thoughtful, heartwarming, poetic, witty, or even mischievous.
Let the world know about your love of stitching!
Stories should be 1000-1500 words and should be sent to stitchedwithstories@gmail.com.
I’d love it if you would pass this request along to others (your guild, your LNS, your friends) who might be interested.
You can also get a PDF of the request at
I’m looking forward to hearing from you!

I have to say I am often a forgetful person. To minimize this effect I came up with a plan several years ago to help me help myself by making my things work for me.
It’s something which is easy to do and can help keep your life organized and make your stitching easier.
The key is to have multiple clues for each important object. So you always put your keys in the same place. Therefore the place=the keys.
if you have a special pair of scissors for cutting metallics they should be a different color (clue #1) and have a different kind of fob (clue #2).
We already do this in other parts of our lives — where’s the serving spoon? where are my short-sleeved shirts? But often we don’t do it with our needlework tools.
Two things recently have brought this to mind. When working on the Witchy Basket I wanted to fluff the Petite Peluche and couldn’t find my Floss Fuzzer. why? It wasn’t in its place. Yesterday I was making Point Protectors. I keep my tools out on the desk in front of me. I picked up the wire cutter not the crimping tool. I almost used it but then realized I had the chartreuse handles not the blue ones, so this was the wrong tool.
How does this help stitching. If you keep your needles in one place, then you can find a new one easily. You reach for the right scissors. You know if a particular thread is in your stash.
In countless ways it makes your stitching life easier.
