Black Friday

Okay, so I am NOT the ever-faithful blogger. I knew I wouldn't be. You'll be lucky if I update every 2 months. I'm like one of those magazines that only come out 6 times a year. Those kinds of magazines frustrate me.

Anyway...Whew! Made it through the Black Friday madness! (barely) How'd you do? After today, I think I am going to do AS MUCH online shopping as possible this season. Anyone ever try to be a recluse for the holiday season? How viable an option is this?

I have several new kits and templates out. I absolutely LOVE the kit I just collaborated with TLC Designs on called "Cozy Christmas."
And check out these templates:











For a freebie, I have a wonderful quick page from my Cozy Christmas QP set:

Meg's Garden Kit

I'm ba-aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!

I'm back. I've been back for a while, but haven't had much time for blog postings. A couple days after we got back, my littlest monster started running a fever. By the evening, the fever was pretty high, and he wasn't wanting to eat. I was thinking that he might have strep, which would explain him not wanting to eat (his throat was hurting). Since the clinic was closed, and he was obviously distressed, I took him to the ER. They checked his ears, did a quick strep test, found nothing, so sent us home, having given him a popsicle and a does of Motrin (I could have done that MUCH more cheaply at home!!) The Dr said it was probably a virus and we'd just have to ride it through. Well, he continued to run his fever all weekend and through the week, which we just tried to keep down by alternating Tylenol and Motrin. It was finally gone on Thursday, but he was still acting clingy and whiny, and not really eating. Then he developed a rash on Saturday. By Sunday it was a raging rash and even extended to his palms and bottoms of his feet (rare for a rash to do). Long story short--took him into the clinic, he has STREP!!! After all this time, my poor baby HAD been fighting with strep, and it could have been gone over a week ago!! He's been on meds for 2 days now, and is already back to himself. Praise God!

I haven't had much time for designing, but I do have a new template set in the shop, "Sweet & Simple"and will have at least one new kit in the shop by this Friday.


For my one blog reader, I have made a coupon code, good for 20% off of any of my template sets through August 20th. Use coupon code: BLOGGITYRDR

On Vacation

I have bad news...I'm on vacation.

The good news is, my store is now open at Sunshine Scraps Studio! I currently have 3 template sets available through the end of the month (refer to first line), but I will be working hard to have much more available in August.

Sunshine Mango Tango Freebie Mega Kit Extravaganza!!

Yep, you read right. It's time for another Sunshine Girls (and Guy) Mega FREEBIE! Why? you ask. (As if you needed a reason to get free stuff, you silly scrapper!) Well, okay. We have a *really* good reason for giving away a huge kit. If you haven't already heard, Sunshine Studio Scraps is growing HUGE and as a result, added a bunch of NEW designers to the shop! And what's the Sunshine way to celebrate? That's right. Give away a monster freebie. (Admit it...it's why you love us.)

And you should know the drill by now...grab my part of the kit, and visit all the other designer's blogs to grab the rest of the kit. It's an easy peasy way to grab a fantastic (free!) Sunshine MEGA collab. You don't even have to buy 15 boxes of cereal to collect the whole set! ;) So without further ado, here's my part:


Now be sure and visit everyone else's blogs (listed on the Sunshine Blog)to collect the whole kit. And don't forget to stop by the Sunshine Gallery to post your lovely layouts and check out all the new designer's stores (including MINE!) opening this FRIDAY!!

***One last note--this is an international party, so if you don't see someone's freebies up yet, be sure to stop by again later today!

Preview of good things to come!

One of my fabulously talented CT, Amanda (aka: kkidsmom) threw these gorgeous LOs together using 2 templates from my first set. (But you'll have to come back on Wednesday, July 16th to see where they are available, and to download a fun freebie!)

Blogging Virgin

So here it is...my obligatory first blog post. {insert regular saying about never having done this sort of thing before...blah blah blah}

I'm starting this blog to introduce the world to my digital scrapbooking designs. Okay, maybe not the world...I have no real feelings of grandeur here, but I would like to get my designs "out there"...wherever "there" may be. So if you like my stuff, make sure to send your friends, if you don't, be sure and send your friends anyway...maybe they have better taste than you. ;) (hahahaaaa)
