embroidery, cross-stitching, sewing.  (Etsy is a very dangerous place in a fabulous fabulous way, btw. I could get lost there for hours!) ANYhoo….

I hope you all are having a beautiful week!  My mom is in town visiting, which always makes for an extra happy Bugga and an extra happy family.  I hope you’re enjoying some people or moments that are bringing the “extra happy” your way too!

I have a couple {fresh seeds} being planted this week (do you like how I take that metaphor of gardening and just run with it? lol!!).  And I wanted to give you your first peek and a chance to win too too!

First is another addition to the Full Bloom series of templates…Full Bloom:Gaura

And next is the latest in my Plant Your Story series.  This time I thought it would be fun to create some pages that have quotables in mind.  You know those funny things our kids say, or a “he said she said” moment, or conversations we hope to remember, or even just a wonderful quote that fits a mood, photo or moment.  And so…here’s a look at Plant Your Story: Quoted.
