mints, the gym, and a new size

yesterday morning i got to go on my first artist date with my niece, and we had a great time treasure hunting! she is now the proud owner of a cool blue electric typewriter - and i just know one of these days i'll get a typed note in the mail.

i got to spend time with my daughter at the gym, although i didn't work out very hard. just a little swimming and of course the spa.

last evening i went and helped make mints for Ben & Nikki's wedding. i don't think i've ever made mints before. and if you'll be at the wedding, the green leaves are mint flavor, the white swirls and hearts are vanilla, and the red roses are almond. we all did a bit of quality control while we were hard at work, just to make sure that they were good enough for company!

so i've mainly been scrapping 12 x 12 when i make layouts. now that i share my pages online, that means that i have to take pictures of my pages since i don't have a large-format scanner. which limits me because i have to wait until there is good light and i have the time to set up the shots. i really do like the 12 x 12 format but i've been thinking about scrapping 8.5 x 11. i could scan my pages and upload them whether there was good light or not. so i'm gonna try the new size for awhile and see how i like it. it will be no problem to put them in my albums since i mainly use the 3-ring American Crafts albums.

here's a page i made showing some lovely bokeh with a sure sign of spring:

what size do you scrap?
