Welcome to Kreations with Kris

This is my blog where I can show off my scrapbooking kreations! I love to use sketches and scrapping with the supplies I already have (which is way too much!).

If you look at old posts, you may notice that I use to run a scrapbooking business out of my home. My life became just too busy and now I enjoy scrapping for myself!

To take advantage of the deals - you can attend any of my crops or classes - the store is set up then. You can always come and shop during one of my crops - even if you can't stay and crop. If those times don't work for you - give me a call and we can always set up a time to open the store for you!
Another Fun Website!
This is a fun website where you can get all kinds of great hints on how to look great in pictures! Let's face it - how many of you (especially us moms) don't have many pictures of ourselves in our scrapbooks because we think we look awful in the pictures others take of us?! Carson Kressley has gotten together with Nikon and made some mini videos on how to make yourself look better in pictures. What a great website: http://www.lookgoodinpictures.com/
Conclusion
Thanks for reading my newsletter! I hope you have something to be thankful for this Thanksgiving - I know I am thankful for all my great customers and my wonderful family! I truly feel blessed with all my blessings! I hope you do too!

(10-17 points) You are MADONNA:
You are wild and crazy and you know it. You know how to have fun, but you may take it to extremes. You know what you are doing though, and are much in control of your own life. People don't always see things your way, but that doesn't mean that y ou should do away with your beliefs. Try to remember that your wild spirit can lead to hurting yourself and others.
(18-26 points) You are DORIS DAY:
You are fun, friendly, and popular! You are a real crowd pleaser. You have probably been out on the town your share of times, yet you come home with the values that your mother taught you. Marriage and children are very important to you, but only after you have fun. Don't let the people you please influence you to stray.
(27-34 points) You are DEBBIE REYNOLDS:
You are cute, and everyone loves you. You are a best friend that no one takes the chance of losing. You never hurt feelings and seldom have your own feelings hurt. Life is a breeze. You are witty, and calm most of the time. Just keep clear of back stabbers, and you are worry-free.
(35-42 points) You are GRACE KELLY:
You are a lover. Romance, flowers, and wine are all you need to enjoy yourself You are serious about all commitments and are a family person. You call your Mom every Sunday, and never forget a Birthday. Don't let your passion for romance get confused with the real thing.
(43-50 points) You are KATHERINE HEPBURN:
You are smart, a real thinker. Every situation is approached with a plan. You are very healthy in mind and body. You don't take crap from anyone. You have only a couple of individuals that you consider 'real friends'. You teach strong family values. Keep your feet planted in them, but don't overlook a bad situation when it does happen.
(51-60 points) You are ELIZABETH TAYLOR:
Everyone is in awe of you. You know what you want and how to get it. You have more friends than you know what to do with. Your word is your bond. Everyone knows when you say something it is money in the bank.You attract the opposite sex. Your intelligence overwhelms most. Yo ur memory is the next thing to photographic. Everyone admires you because you are so considerate and lovable. You know how to enjoy life and treat people right.

My score was 37 and so I am most like Grace Kelly who I think is one of the classiest actresses. So who are you most like?
