Some things I've forgotten to share, and one thing I wasn't allowed to share!

One of my favorite scrapbook kit subscriptions is to Kenner Road. Each month brings something unique and exciting and definitely my funky style! Well, this month not only did I get their yummy kit, but I also won this on their blog! It's the new Making Memories Love Notes line! Isn't it adorable?!

But from what I understood, since they found it so early on, as long as she takes care of herself and doesn't lift anything, it will be fine.

So...soon I will have to figure out how to turn this
