Added facebook & retweet buttons

For those that are interested.  I find that most bloggers are amazed when someone wants to follow their blog.  Or at least I am.

I received a comment about getting a retweet button, so I added that and a facebook button in my right sidebar.  Also added follow by email and subscribe to my blog.  There's also a follow my blog down farther in my sidebar.

Inside my Smash Book

Here's a few pages of the inside of my Smash Book.  I just started adding journaling to the My Thoughts Page.  Still trying to decide what to label the index pages with and what I'll be putting inside it.  But at least I've started with my project.
 This is the first index page.  I've only labeled the last index page with My Thoughts
 I've stamped on the front of each page something different.
A Little Bird Told Me
Live Like You Mean It
Memories Are Life's Treasures
Happy Day
You Are My Sunshine
You Make Me Happy
Woof, In The Dog House
Gee-Your Sweet
Faith Is When You Close Your Eyes And Open Your Heart
Life Is Beautiful
Dream Big
Various pages have a butterfly, a tree or flourishes instead
 2nd index page w/2 journal spots & 2 scalloped note spots
 For our boxer, Pebbles
 3rd Index Page
 3rd Index Page 2/journal spot

WEBSTER'S PAGES LO

Lo of me and our boxer {Pebbles} when she was a puppy.  I call it Love At First Sight.  Flowers on left are made from Webster's trim.  I just sewed a straight stitch by hand and pulled one end to gather, then stitched the ends together.  The pink lacy part is trim made like that, I just sewed the two ends together.  The paper flower, I used card stock {sprayed with Shimmerz Spritz and used this Gabrielle Pollacco's tutorial {step 2} to create it.  I did some fussy cutting with Webster's pp and vellum.
