This site is so ridiculously cute!!! I love it! I am currently downloading my very first digital scrapbooking package. We'll see if I am capable of figuring it out. Oh yeah, and I bought my very first cricut cartridge yesterday! (zoobaloo) Gotta get moving on the real scrapbooking as well or Porter's book will NEVER be caught up. Can you do both digital and real and mix them up? Is that lame? Anywho, I'll be checking here for yummy recipes!!! You are so cute!
