In the spirit of “catching up”, let’s get down to business on a few things, shall we?

[PHOTO SHOOTS]

Before vacation, I snapped some pictures for our friends/neighbors who just had baby #2 last month. Say hello to little Kaden. That’s his big brother’s art on the bed, in the background.

And this is sweet baby Avery, one of my BF’s daughters.

[WHERE TO BUY L&B]

Some of you have asked about where to find the Lisa & Becky line of organization & home decor products. Always check your local scrapbook store first. You can also find our stuff at Archiver’s & Recollections and even at target.com now too. I’m sure there are many other online sources as well.

[MY FONT]

Of all the fonts I’ve created over the years, none of them have been my simple, kind-of-sloppy, everyday handwriting. And now it’s available … and it’s 100% FREE! Just go to creatingkeepsakes.com or click here. Follow the directions & enjoy your newest font.

[SCHOOL KIT]

I know, I know … big bummer that my school KOTM (kit of the month) didn’t come out this month. The bottom line: unforseen manufacturing issues. But there is plenty of good news! First of all, it will still be available. We’re working through the manufacturing kinks, so we just needed more time. We don’t want to sacrifice quality. I care a lot about this kit & want it to be PERFECT for you. Other good news? There is another fabulous KOTM available now, so check it out. And remember to check back often, because we release a new kit every month. One more bit of good news: You do NOT need the school kit at the beginning of the school year. You’ll see what I mean when the kit comes out. Until then … Happy Back-to-School for so many of you!

[AMERICAN IDOL ... AGAIN]

This is a promise I made to Lisa Bearnson, that I would share a couple pictures from the American Idol concert. She just went to the one in SLC last week. This one’s for you, Lisa (she loves Jordin Sparks – and how could you NOT love that girl?).

And a little collection of the performing Idols.

And just a couple more of Blake Lewis, who was OUR personal favorite. Holy talented.

I’ll be getting to more of your questions later. Loved reading all of your goals for the week, by the way! Sounds like a lot of you are in “organization mode” right now. I LOVE that.
