It's blog train time!!

Hey everyone, if you can't tell it's been FOREVER since I posted to this blog but getting pregnant and now having an infant and another child at home fills up so much time.

I'm thrilled to say that Val has been designing at ScrapMatters for three years now so we decided to make a monthly brag book calendar from the girls on geniaBeana Scraps CT to give away. I chose March since I'm partial to that month (both my kiddos were born in March).  You should have arrived to my blog from Chel's blog.

You should check out all the AMAZING goodies she has in her store HERE.
Here is what is up for grabs for you from me:

Click HERE to download it, and please leave me a little comment below I love to read them.  Please keep in mind that not all the blogs are on the same time so be patient if one of the blogs does not have their freebie posted.

Just in case you get lost here is the blog list so you can collect them all, be sure to read them all since some posts have more than one brag book page and you can get a fantastic calendar for free:
