I've started using My Plate at Live Strong to track my eating and I LOVE it. It makes it so easy to keep track of everything, especially since there's an app for it so I can use my iPod to record what I eat when I'm not at my computer. :)

ETA! There is an explanation of what a speed scrap is… scroll down to the italics!

Okay, business first! If you tried downloading my minikit last night/this morning and it asked for a password, try again. Something is wonky with 4Shared because I did NOT put a password on the download. I went in and tried moving it and then moving it back and it seems to be okay now.
I also want to say a word about piracy. I’ll keep it brief, but I wanted to thank those of you who let me know when you see my kits being pirated. I love what I do, but it really makes me sad (and yes, angry, too!) when I discover that people are sharing my kits. It’s frustrating to work so hard on something only to have it handed out for free!
Now, on to more pleasant subjects!
This week there are going to be TWO speed scraps held at ScrapMatters and I am totally excited! You know I loooooove speed scrapping! Andrea is hosting this week and she decided that it would be a good idea to meet at a regular time, but also at a time that people from other parts of the world could join us. So we are meeting Tuesday at 7pm Pacific and Thursday 10am Pacific. (Check out THIS SITE to see what time that is in your area.) We meet in THIS forum.
For those of you who don’t know what a speed scrap is, basically we all meet in the forum at a certain time and our host gives us one new instruction every 10 minutes for an hour. At the end of the hour you have one hour to finish your layout and post it. The instructions range from choosing a certain amount of photos to using certain kinds of elements to whatever else the host can think up. It’s a lot of fun and I love being able to get a layout done in an hour!
I am providing the participation prize, so if you show up to either of those you get my new Wish Garden mini!
And if you show up to both you get your choice of Andrea’s What’s Hanging Alpha or Tags!
I’ll be at both so I hope to see you at one or both of them as well!

Ellie, that mini is so adorable, and your new kits at Scap Orchard are gorgeous! Congrats
I love that mini kit! I will have to try a speed scrap for the first time just so I can get it!!
For those of us new to digital scrapping, please tell us how a speed scrap works. Thanks!
Very cute kit Ellie.
I did my first speed scrap last week and it was a blast! You should try it one day.
I am really going to try to make the speed scrap! Thanks for the info. Thanks for fixing the freebie link too.I really love your Little Fairytales Mini. xoxoxo
I have never digi scrapped before and don’t know when I might get the nerve to try but I attended your speed scrap tonight and it was a blast just following along and watching the gals interact as they designed their layouts. I kept up with the instructions and was just amazed at the final results the girls came up with. Just wanted to let you know how much fun this was even though I didn’t actually do anything.
What happened to my comment?
I guess I will hi-light my previous comment. Followed along your speed scrap and it was very entertaining and a real learning experiance. Can’t wait to begin this hobby.
