Keepsakes

I like to keep track of my photos, mementos and currency from my trips but I lack the time and discipline to always do a proper scrapbook. My friend Kristin had given me a sweet solution for my Madagascar stuff but I still need to finish putting the mini-book together, which I will get to one of these days. In the meantime, I discovered a great product through my SXSW swag - SMASH journals - that I wanted to share with you. I have been waiting forever for the full sized ones to come out and they just came in the mail this week. (I may have gotten a little carried away and ordered two and pretty much every tiny accessory they make for them.) They have a blog and there is a great video that I wanted to post here in case you are interested in learning more:

In celebration of all things creative I am giving away the "Retro Style" journal. Just comment on this post (leave first and last name) and I will do a random drawing next Saturday. (I really like giving things away, if you can't tell!) Have a great holiday weekend! We're heading to Joplin to help out on Monday just for a short shift with the St. Louis AmeriCorps team at MO Southern State University, if you're interested check out the United Way's 2-1-1 website for positions.
