I'm really happy with these printable bag toppers & bags! I've always liked Avery labels and papers, but I wasn't sure what to expect since a few reviewers on amazon said they had problems printing on these. I didn't have any problems at all on my HP inkjet 6500A printer/scanner. The labels moved easily through the regular paper feed. I went online to the Avery website to download the template for these labels and found that you could customize them right on the site. I found a cute design and added my custom text and simply printed them out. So easy! You can change plenty of things around while designing them on the Avery site. Of course, you could also download the template and add your own digital designs.

I will definitely keep some of these on hand for when I want to put together a quick treat or gift for someone special!

I’ve been dreaming of this day all year long. Today is our last day of school! Alex finished up last Friday and Riley has been cranking through 6 finals this week. She has her last one today and we are all more than ready to get started on summer! We are also getting ready for a very small family gathering on Memorial Day to celebrate my son’s graduation. When I asked him what he wanted to do for his party he responded “something very low-key” so we will keep it that way.

I’ve also got to figure out how to get my life back in order. I imagined a glorious finish line crossing for the end of the school year, but I have to admit that I just barely crawled (sometimes on my belly) to get to this final moment. It wasn’t exactly a “photo finish” but I made it!

…

I used this free anagram generator to see what “Scrapbook Lady” would translate to. It came back with more than 15,627 results! I didn’t even attempt to go through all of them, but I did get a giggle out of some of the ones I did look at.

Anagrams for Scrapbook Lady:

There are not many anagram options for the name of Katie:

But if you have a longer name like Alexander you get some fun ones:

Heddy did a post about The Daily Digi team’s favorite songs a few weeks ago and it was fun to see how our choices were put together to make a playlist. When she asked us to list our favorites I knew I needed to blog (and scrap) about my music tastes because they are really varied and sort of silly in some ways. I wonder how many people were able to pick out which ones were my own playlist choices? I have a really wide range of favorites, but I have to admit that some of my favorites are from the 80's. I guess I'm stuck in that decade, but I think it's great stuff!

Were you surprised by any of my choices? Do you like any of the same songs, or do you have completely different taste in music? Would others be able to guess what your favorite songs are? Have you ever documented your own playlist favorites? Memory Monday is the perfect time to do just that!
