Rocky likes peanut butter too!

Sitting here watching the Raven's game. Connor is eating some crackers with the little cups of peanut butter. Our squirrel, Rocky, who always comes up to the back door, must have smelled it and came running up! I gave him what was left and I could have filmed more, but of course Connor had to come out and scare him. I almost have him eating out of my hand!

My First Digital Album

Stampin' Up! will be releasing our new "My Digital Studio" software to customers on October 1st. As a demo, I could pre-order it. I just finished creating my first album. This is an 8x8 book that I created. You can also make a movie like I did here. This was sooo easy to do. I opened premade layout and inserted the pics. Then I added the background papers, some embellishments and stamps here and there. I should have it in 7-10 days to share with you! You can also make cards digitally, calendars and more! Be sure to click on my SU site in October to get your copy!
