On Sunday we drove 2 hours East to Fall Creek Falls with the Mannella's. Again - it was beautiful and we had a great time (all of us trying to keep up with Jared. It was nice to have some company on the back of the trail). Here is a photo I snapped of Rich and his and Ruth's eldest. A little blurry but I still thought it was sweet:
And. . . for those of you waiting for a May preview here is a little one:
This is the new JBS rubber stamp in the May kit!!! You know I have to incorporate journaling somehow so I took my favorite bird image from the new rub-ons and added the banner. I'm so excited to play with this one!
I also wanted to tell you about a local event going on this coming weekend in the Carthage area. I was looking for an opportunity to donate tons of great product I had been given over the year for book projects, etc. I connected with Jane at my yard sale and found out she was putting on a "Crop and Shop for a Cause" to benefit Habitat for Humanity (one of my very favorite charities). So, she is coming by today to pick up two large boxes from me of brand new products (companies have been so generous to me, but even over the course of a year, I can't use everything!!! AND, many times I buy it because I'm impatient and then find it in the mail the next day!! ). It is at the Carthage United Methodist Church this Fri. April 27 and Sat. April 28. You can contact Jane at turner4062@bellsouth.net for more info.
And, because I am in a generous mood, I have 3 boxes of several new or gently used rubber stamps going to random posts here. I will check the blog on Friday morn. and have Noah help me choose three winners. So post away!! (I would add a photo here but apparently blogger only lets you post 3 pics in one post)!

wish i lived close to shop at the crop/cause.
but at least count me in for some random goodness.
thnx! maryjo
what a great thing you are doing...donating products to such a wonderful cause. Good luck!
Jessica Woodford
The goodies sound so great!
Here's how to post more than 3 pics in blogger:
Here's a trick for getting more pictures into one post: upload all the pictures you want, four at a time; don't worry about writing or titles, etc.
Next, open each one of your posts in a new window in "edit mode" and view them in HTML edit mode. So, for example, if you had loaded 20 pictures you would have 5 windows open each with four pictures.
Copy and paste the HTML Script from each of the successive pages into the first page, being careful to keep the syntax unbroken. Once you have all the code there you can go over to the standard edit mode and clean up the format a bit, get rid of the Picasa symbol, and add your text per usual.
Once you're done with the editing, publish this post and then go and delete the posts that you took the pictures from.
It is a bit of a hassle and not always worth the extra effort, but if you absolutely have to have more than four pictures in one post, this has worked well for me. I used this technique in our Back from Japan post. I put about 14 photos in one post from Picasa.
As far as I know, there is no limit to how many photos you could have in one post using this method. Hope that helps!
Wish I could join you at the crop and your products are so beautiful. Can't wait to get my May kit!
Wonderful cause, great blog! I'll be back often.
Claudia F.
Count me in too... Looking forward to the May kit. Your a kind person to donote to Habitat. I too think this is such a great charity. So many people in need.. wish I lived close enough to attend the crop.

I love the bird stamp! I don't know if anyone mentioned this already (probably, as I am commmenter like 85 or something!) but you can put more than three photos in a post, you just can only do a certain number at once...then you have to go back and start over. Rereading that, it doesn't make much sense...sorry!!
Your kits are great and I love creating with them. Can't wait for May.
Thank you for always being so giving!
Christine Drumheller
Love your kits Jennie. They are fun to create with. Love all of the vintage items you include with the kits.

I am a little jealous of your gorgeous weekend! We had hail, rain and wind!

Love you blog. How great to be able to donate to Habitat for Humanity - great charity.
If I lived closer would have loved to visit your garage sale!
Kerry
Wow, how generous of you!!! Can't wait for that new stamp.
Dear Jenni,
I have been going through the boxes you gave me for the crop and shop and they are as wonderful as everyone would imagine. It's like a scrapbooking Christmas morning at my house. I already have items picked out that I want to buy for myself. I even found a package of the trademark "Jenni" stars. Not sure I can sell those- may have to send those back to you. Hope anyone in the area can come to Carthage and support the crop and shop for Habitat.
Many thanks,
Jane
Awesome stamp Jenni! Looking forward to the new kits as always each month... just like Christmas with the anticipation.
Thanks for sharing your talents with all of us and inspiring me to do more.
Cari
Wish I were closer to Carthage. Sounds fabulous. Love the sneak peek too! You come up with the greatest stuff and ideas I am always inspired. We sooo have the same kind of taste. It just makes your kits all the more fun! Thanks Jenni!
Jenni, great cause. Can't wait to see the new kit.
Shelly C.
I look forward to the kits each month. Recently I had to cancel 2 out of my 3 kits and pick just one and I picked yours! I love it!

147 comments! Wow! People love those freebies. Love your things!
I would so love to be able to go to the event for Habitat -- unfortunately its a little too far to drive for the day (from Orlando). I hope everyone has fun on Saturday.
Freddi
loved your pics, and those stamps sound so fab!!! I'll be crossing my fingers!
I haven't been scrapping long (got the urge during my pregnancy!) and just found out about you - I wish I would have come with Sabrina to your yard sale. It WAS a fabulous weekend, wasn't it? I got out with hubby, my new baby and my 4-yr-old and flew kites and enjoyed the sunshine!
Wow a chance to win some wonderful stamps. I love the stamp in the May Kit.
Denise C
Jenni, Since I live in Alaska, of course I will not be able to make the charity event, but I will keep them in my prayers they will make lots to help. I would love to share one of your used goodies.
Carrie
Hi Jenni!
I just found your blog!
Glad you had a great weekend!
:J
you had me at stamps....lol
Cant wait to get the May kit. It already has my interest. Hope it is as good as March.
Laura B
You can put more pictures in blogger. Are your files really big? I think it usually lets me upload 5 at a time. Then I have to upload them...then I go back and add more!
Thanks for offering stamps.
I've often wondered about what types of stuff scrap "celebs" must get in the mail. In my daydreams, there are boxes and boxes and boxes of product every day. Is it really like that?
what a great cause.. i live clear across the country, so i can't go.. boo
Jenni, that new stamp is incredible! Love all of your products and it's great to see them at other stores now. Renae Clark
Jenni B.: You do good works, all the way around. How kind of you!!
So glad you're designing. You have such a gift. And thanks for sharing your "gifts" with us!

You are soo thoughtful and generous to RAK us. Please count me in on the drawing. I love your new stamp, thanks for the peek.
