If you're a scrapbooker who has more supplies on her shelf than on her album pages, you're not alone. Plenty of us love collecting just as much as the scrapping! This spring, make a difference by putting your stash to work. In Shimelle Laine's online class Something From Almost Nothing, you'll make an album and more by using your existing supplies in creative ways. This three week class will make the most of the creative energy we have in the spring and by the end you'll have zero guilt as you put all those supplies into beautiful projects.

My current favorite photo is one of my youngest son. He is standing at our big picture window but looking at me. He has a soother in his mouth and serious look on his face. I love his expression and the light in that photo.

My favorite photo right now is of me & my husband in a photo booth (which is so funny you just talked about them) and both of us are wearing mustaches and making funny faces. It just makes me laugh every time I see it.

My favorite photo right now is one of myself and my granddaughter in front of the playbill, when I took her to see the musical "Wicked" for her 10th birthday. She has been doing community drama for the past 2 years and has been in 10 plays, including a large part in the musical "Annie" with an adult cast. We had a blast and the excitement on both of our faces (photo taken right after the play on our way out of the theater was priceless! It was her first professional theater production she had been to and was just blown away in a very happy way.

My current favorite photo is one of my daughter and our dog. Daughter was laying on the floor and the dog was literally laying on top of her and has her chin resting on daughter's chest. It's just too cute.

The last photo I take is always my favourite, it is the moment captured. The last photo I took was of my daughter last night at a function we attended, it is a close up showing her gorgeous green eyes, her blonde curls partially covering those eyes, and her large toothless smile.

A current fav is a picture of our dog Jack (1 of our 3 St. Bernards) sleeping on our new porch. I love that they love the new porch as much as we do and I love seeing our 150 lb. bundle of energy all curled up, sleeping like a baby.

My husband and I were on vacation in Monterey, CA for Valentine's Day. We were climbing on the rocks on the beach with the sun setting in the background. I took a picture of my husband - the photo quality wasn't good at all but it captured the fun we had. I love it.

I took a photo of my 13 yo son a week or two ago and processed it using a preset with Aperture 3, all golden, backlit, and gorgeous. Of course, I'm biased, but... :-)

My daughter's preschool just took a 'community worker' field trip to thank the local community workers (police, fire, librarian, bus driver)- super fun- and I took a pic of her and 2 of her friends holding out their bus fare ($.75) while standing under their umbrella (thank you WA)- I love it! :)

My current favorite photo is still the one my hubby took of me holding our newborn boy 15 years ago! It was a bad camera and a fuzzy picture, but he'd just finished nursing and was fast asleep and the sun was shining in the window behind us. Love that memory! I'd also love some photography classes to get better at using my Nikon D60!
