Mini Album: Busted thief


When my sister emailed me this photo of her impish chinese pug, Yoshi, stealing my mom's cell phone I knew I had to create a unique page. I didn't want to make a full 12x12 layout since I am putting this in an 8x8 album. The layout is actually 6x8. It's my first time working with this format but I really liked it.

Wonderful NEWS!


After over 3 months of being unemployed, I have found a job as a Bilingual Customer Service Rep at T-Mobile. Training begins on the 20th, which ironically is 4 months since I was last employed. There should not be any gaps in my postings due to an accomodating schedule....Thanks for visiting my blog!
