Finally. Quiet!

2009-08-15T15:04:00.006-07:00

I've has a very busy week. Thank goodness! LOL

I worked a home show all last weekend with the company I do some independent design work for. Two 10 hour days and an eight hour day. Gets exhausting when you haven't worked in months! They had a huge response from the show, so the week was busy with designing, corresponding with clients and helping with invoicing.

So today, after going to the grocery store this morning, I'm just chilling out and doing some scrapping. And, of course, uploading another goodie for you all!! Today, it's one of my first kits called Walking in the Rain. Here are a couple of layouts using the kit ~

The kit includes 12 papers, 69 elements and one layered Kwick Stik.

Have a great weekend & enjoy!!

I'm here, Alive & Well!!

2009-08-01T14:27:00.003-07:00

After a little break, a major computer glitch & internet issues, I'm back with some goodies!!!

I'll start off with a Hodge Podge paper pack. I had some various papers that were started for kits or packs & for one reason or another never got finished. So I bundled them up to offer as a Blog freebie.

download here

Be sure to check back often because I plan on giving away even more goodies. It may be a full kit, or a mini. Maybe a paper pack, or maybe, just maybe it'll be a Blog Kit. Whatever floats my boat that day!!

Most of the downloads will be items that were previously offered for sale at my Store, so you don't want to miss out!!!

After a long day at work, I got home to find out I made it to round 1 of Digiscrap Addicts' SYTYCD contest!! I'm so excited!! I've already begun jotting down notes for a kit. Now I have the difficult task of choosing which palette to use. LOL

Happy Wednesday!!
My CT Members & I have been busy little bees lately! They've been creating some pretty awesome layouts & I've been creating some pretty awesome goodies!! If I don't say so myself. LOL
The newest item in the store is a fun, brightly hued paper pack; Baby Oh Baby. The color theme is more Spring-like than typical baby colors, but as you can see, these papers work well for just about anything.

Inspiration Station~

{click here go to the gallery for credits}

Don't those colors just make your mouth water? Reminds me of candy!! LOL

At the top of the side bar, I posted a small poll. Please take a look & I'd love to hear your thoughts. Thanks.

Lots more will be happening at the store and around here at the Blog, so be sure to check back {or subscribe!!} so you don't miss a thing.

Now, on to the goodies. {Was that the only reason you stopped by???} LOL I had some xtra papers from Baby Oh Baby, so I threw in a few elements & you now have a freebie to download!! Enjoy!!

Look for their layouts around the digi community & in my gallery. These are 3 very talented ladies & I'm looking forward to working with them.

On another note ~

I stumbled across this ~

It's season 2. How did I miss Season 1?!?!? Anyway, I thought it might be fun to give it a shot. Hey, worst case I have fun, & you get some cool freebies. Best case, I get a year of free advertising!! I just sent my application for the preliminary round. My fingers are crossed I make it!! I'm sure there are going to be hundreds of seasoned as well as new designers trying for that awesome grand prize. Wish me luck!!

For now, I'm taking the weekend off {starting tomorrow} to relax with the kiddos. Between my designing & putting my sister's web site together, my hand has cramped, my neck & shoulders are in knots & my eyes are grainy & blurry!!

Have a wonderful weekend & Happy Easter to all those who celebrate :)

Some News

2009-04-05T11:22:00.003-07:00

I was supposed to take down my freebie blog the end of March. I guess I missed that deadline!! LOL I'm going to leave it up for another week, then the freebies will definitely be retired.
I've also been busy working on some new items, coming soon to the store. Be sure to be on the look out for those.
And I will be announcing my new CT members next week as well. For now, I will be going back to designing.
Enjoy the remainder of your weekend :)

A Quick Post & Freebie

2009-03-26T19:42:00.004-07:00

Popping in real quick. I'm over at Pioneer Woman's Blog reading Ask Pioneer Woman ~ Real Time. I discovered her Blog through the Daily Digi. They mentioned her photo tips, so I stopped by to read them & found so much more. She's a very funny lady who gives the reader a peek at her life on a cattle ranch, as well as giving tips on gardening, homeschooling & even has yummy recipes!! She's taking a little break right now, so I was playing with my newest kit, Danika & made a Blog background as a gift for all my readers.

You can download here. Enjoy! I'm going back to reading......

Hhheeeere's Danika!

2009-03-25T16:13:00.003-07:00

Danika is my newest kit. It's so totally girly. All pink & pretty you're sure to love it too. And it'd be great for Easter photos!! Take a look ~

You can pick it up here. Don't forget I have a slew of freebies over at my Freebie Blog {link in sidebar} and my CT call is still going on. {See post below for details}.

Such a Tease

2009-03-24T15:27:00.003-07:00

I'm finishing up on a new kit and all I'm gonna say about it is it's very pink & very girly. I will, however, give you a little peak at it in the form of this little Qwik Stik freebie. Enjoy! And be sure to check the store soon for the full kit.

Busy, Busy, Busy

2009-03-16T12:43:00.006-07:00

It turned out that Mom & I only built one shelf yesterday. She needed to go to the hardware store for more wood, so we just called it a day & hung out the rest of the day. My younger sister was there & sick as a dog. The flu has been going around & many are saying it's a beast. So hopefully if that's what she has, the girls & I don't get it. I can handle it. The girls on the other hand, get so whinny & can't function. And Lord help me if Hubby gets sick! LOL Is it just my man or do all men act like they're dying when they get the slightest cold??? LOL
Today I finished up my newest kit & uploaded to the store. I'm not real big on St. Patrick's Day, but this kit has just a touch of the Irish in it. Seamus is a lightly shabby kit in sea foam green {although green is my favorite color, I hate kelly green!! LOL}. This way it's usable all year round for all types of layouts!!

I uploaded a bunch more freebies on my Freebie Blog and have a Qwik Stik freebie here for you made with Seamus ~

**{Thank you for your interest in my freebie, but this download is no longer available.}**

Here it is in action with my photogenic oldest, Savannah {she did the photo editing herself!} ~

Now I must work on my sister's site & get all the new pieces uploaded. Have a good day!

Exhaustion

2009-03-14T17:46:00.004-07:00

I have been working on re-vamping my sister's web site, as well as taking pictures of what seems like thousands of pieces of jewelry, for the past 2 days. My head is hurting, my eyes are blurry & my wrist is aching. Time to quit. I was working on a new kit; most of it's done ~ I just need to make the preview & package it all up. But I no longer have the energy. I was going to upload more freebies too, but that just takes too much energy!! LOL
Tomorrow I'm taking the kids to Mom's house where I'll be helping her organize her sewing rooms {yes she has 2} & building shelves. an all day project. I've come to the conclusion her sewing rooms will never be really organized. She has so much fabric & notions it's difficult to know where to start. And she keeps buying more!!! LOL I keep telling her she has a problem & needs FA {Fabricaholics Anonymous}!! LOL
I'm off to get some dinner for me & the girls then surfing the channels & vegging for the rest of the night....

New Items & Freebies

2009-03-11T18:36:00.006-07:00

I finished up a new kit today to add to the store AND 3 new Xtras. First is a set of silk flowers with jeweled centers ~

Second is a set of tattered bows with ball chain to attach what-nots to ~

And the last Xtra is a fun Popsicle stick calendar ~

A new kit has also been added ~ Rochelle is packed full with 14 papers & 64 elements ~

To round out my day, I uploaded another bunch of freebies. Now I'm off to watch ANTM with Riley. G'Nite all.

Spring Cleaning & Headaches

2009-03-10T08:15:00.002-07:00

Yesterday was not a good day. I woke up with a bit of a headache. Not a big deal, it's happened before, & a couple of Excedrin usually take care of it. I took D to her eye Dr. appointment at 9am, we were there for an hour & by the time we got home, my headache turned into a full blown migraine. So I instructed the girls to finish cleaning their room (they DO have a floor in there!!!), do the dishes & do some laundry while I go lay down. I didn't get up until 7 this morning.
Consequently I did not get the next round of freebies up yesterday, but they are posted now. Grab them & enjoy :)

Over the River & Through the Woods....

2009-03-08T08:28:00.002-07:00

to Grandmother's house we go. We're off to visit my Mom today & Riley is going to bake an apple pie. {Grandmas are good at teaching pie making!!} Before I'm off for the day, I uploaded some more of my older kits....Enjoy ;)

Next Round of Freebies are Here

2009-03-07T12:14:00.002-07:00

I've added some of the first kits I made to my Freebie Blog. It's fun to see how much I've learned over the last couple of years. How my style has changed, yet is still somewhat the same. There are a couple of full kits with quick stiks & coordinating mini kits. Enjoy!!

FREEBIES! FREEBIES! FREEBIES!!!!

2009-03-06T10:38:00.001-07:00

Want a ton of free kits, paper packs & elements?? Then check out my new Freebie Blog here....

And So It Goes....

2009-03-05T10:21:00.004-07:00

I meant to get here much sooner, but I just got in a groove working on my site as well as my sister's. And once the mojo is flowing, it's hard to stop. I had to set the alarm on my cell phone each day so I wouldn't forget to pick the girls up from school!! LOL I get so into what I'm doing, I forget the world around me & when I'm on a roll I hate stopping. Even for the little things like going to the bathroom!! LOL
I made myself take a break for a minute so I can get the latest goodie posted. I have for you 2 quick stiks from the Amelia kit. And I'm doing some major house cleaning {on my hard drives, not my actual house!!}, so be sure to check back because I'm pretty sure there are going to be some more freebies!!

The Scent of Spring

2009-03-02T12:50:00.002-07:00

It is ABSOLUTELY beautiful today. Sorry to those of you in the North East :( That is why I moved from Mass. 18 years ago!!! It is currently 90 degrees, a lite breeze & the wonderful scent of orange blossoms is in the air. I have no ambition right now. I went to the market this morning {after walking the youngest to school} my 3 girls still insist we feed them!! LOL And now all I want to do is sit out on the deck with a good book & waste the day away. Of course after about an hour outside my allergies will kick in & then I'll feel miserable :b So I am catching little doses of Spring air at a time ~ sweeping off the deck, walking to the mail box, sweeping off the front stoop, etc.
In between all that, I'm working on another goodie for you {so be sure to check back for that} and my sister's site. She makes beautiful handmade jewelry {click the banner on the right to visit her store} and she just sent me a bunch of pictures of earrings she recently completed. Now I need to edit them & get them in the shop. So, off to sweep a bit, then back to the ol' grind stone! Hope you all have a great day ;)

New Kit & a Goodie!!

2009-02-23T07:15:00.010-07:00

Good morning! It's been awhile, but I've been busy. I designed a new kit AND I scrapped!!! The scrapping is what's so amazing. It's been sooooo long since I've done any of that. Since the job hunting is not going well at all, I have enough time on my hands now to get all those old photos scrapped. I've even pulled out some old developed pics to scan & scrap!! Some day, before I'm too old, I'd love to have them all done.
Now, on to my new kit. Amelia is kind of feminine, yet I think would still work for the guys, and has plenty of elements {51 to be exact} to play with. Check out the kit as well as some pages of the girls I scrapped with it ~

I just realized while uploading these, I didn't scrap a picture of Savannah!! I need to dig up some of the "old" photos of when she was a toddler. We have tons!!! Makes me feel so bad for the younger two, as each kid came along the pictures got fewer & farther between. I probably have half as many pictures {or less} of Darien as I do of Savannah. But friends tell me this is typical. Good thing I didn't have any more kids!!! The last kid would have NO pictures of him/herself!!! LOL
So, sense you've read my ramblings this far, you're probably waiting for the FREEBIE!! It's a coordinating glitter alpha that goes with the Amelia kit.

Super Bowl Sunday!!!

2009-02-01T09:17:00.006-07:00

Not that it's a big deal to me!! LOL I will watch some though since the Cardinals managed to make it this far!! Hubby will definitely have it on & I will for sure watch the half time show {last few years it's been a bit lame in my opinion} and maybe catch a few new commercials. {Again, it seems in the past they haven't been so great} I'm hoping both will be better this year. They hype it up so much, then it's such a disappointment. Oh, well. Nothing else special planned today, kind of a lazy day with the girls. Sav will most likely sleep most of the morning. She was in her school musical {they did Willy Wonka & it was great!!} Last night was closing night & the cast party so she was out late. Well, according to her a midnight curfew is not late!! LOL
Well, since it's Feb. 1st, I thought I'd treat everyone to my very first desktop calendar made with my Valentina Kit!! Yeah you!! LOL
Here it is in action ~ I have this on my desktop ~ Hubby @ Thanksgiving with the 2 oldest when they were about 1 & 3 yrs old. {I forgot to label the photo, so I have to guess!!} I love these 2 pics of them. I sure do miss those days of the girls wanting us to hold & cuddle them :(

Enough of that!! LOL Here is your desktop freebie {in 2 sizes}.

**{Thank you for your interest in my freebie, but this download is no longer available.}**

The Fridge Accident

2009-01-30T14:14:00.008-07:00

I went through the many photos sitting on my hard drive & found this one {as well as the letter that went with it}.

Kit used is Whitewash; frame from Blythe; doodle arrows by me; alpha by Nikki Scott

Here is a close up of the letter they left me.

Click on the letter for a full size view ~

Kids can be so weird.....

Now whether or not Savvy actually lost a bobbie pin in the fridge, she did pull out all the bottom drawers and climb in. I think they just wanted to see if she could fit in the fridge but I couldn't get any of them to admit it. They wrote down their stories & are sticking to them!! LOL

Darn Cold Weather....

2009-01-28T13:23:00.005-07:00

Yup. It's official ~ winter has come to AZ :(
I was really enjoying the wonderful warm weather, then this week it decided to go cold. I know some of you are dealing with below zero temps, snow, sleet, rain & all the icky winter weather I really hate, but when the temps drop below 60 here, it's like a cold snap!! LOL D & I had to bundle up for our walk to school ~ long sleeves, jackets, & **gasp** jeans!! LOL I have to make sure I have a tissue pack my nose runs so much with the cold!! Then to make my walk even more enjoyable ~ yesterday I woke up at 4 AM with a bad allergy attack & was sneezing and blowing my nose most of the morning until my allergy tabs clicked in. Yuck!!
I've been working on another kit & I think I'm running out of steam! LOL I think after this one is done, I'll take a rest from designing for a bit and maybe actually scrap a few pages!! LOL Here's a sneak peek of my new kit, Blythe, in the form of a free quick stik!! YEAH!!!
Enjoy, and have a {warm} great day!! ;)

Walking

2009-01-23T15:03:00.005-07:00

Before I went back to working outside the home, I would walk the girls to school each day. I enjoy walking. I would average about 3 miles a day. I miss those walks. Not only were they good exercise, it was a great time for the girls to discuss their day while we walked home. I never really lost weight, but maintained it & was in fairly good shape. Three years & a desk job later, I am feeling the effects of not walking each day. {Those once 'fit good' jeans, are no longer fitting so well!!} Since I am currently unemployed, I figured it's time to take advantage of it & get back to walking. So all this week I've been walking the youngest to school. I only do it in the morning because there isn't enough time to get the middle one in the afternoon then walk to the school for the youngest. So, both ways, it's about 1 1/2 maybe 2 miles. Not bad, but man, oh man am I outta shape!! LOL Not only do my calves, butt & thighs ache but also my shins!! I've never had my shins ache from walking!! It's so weird. But I know it wont last & I feel so much better.
So, today after my morning walk, I sat down on my widening back end worked a bit on a new kit & made another QS from both Whitewash & Valentina. I thought some of you might enjoy it.

**{Thank you for your interest in my freebie, but this download is no longer available.}**

Hot....

2009-01-20T10:19:00.007-07:00

Which is what it's been the past few days. Yesterday it was 79 degrees!! But oh, so nice. A couple days were breezy & just perfect. You'd never know it was January!! I love it. We've lightened up the blankets on our beds & are back using fans in every room, as well as opening up all the doors. It got me in a Spring cleaning mood! LOL I make the girls clean their bathroom every weekend, but they haven't done a deep down through cleaning in ages, so today I spent the morning scrubbing it down. Don't let anyone fool you ~ girls are sloppy little piglets!! I never use their bathroom, just pass it while walking down the hall to my room, but I noticed the trash was overflowing, the tub looked a bit grimy & the floor was very dirty. So I got out all the cleaning supplies, rubber gloves, threw my hair up & scrubbed walls, floors, toilet, tub & sink for an hour & a half. I'm not even sure what some of the grime was I cleaned & certinally don't care to know. And with 3 long haired girls, hair was EVERYWHERE!!! Not to mention all the stains on the sink & counter from hair color!! I was going to clean my bathroom {it just needs wiping down & the floors mopped}, but ran out of energy. I'll save that for tomorrow....
Enough about my dirty bathrooms, on to the more interesting {& fun} stuff. Just uploaded to the Store ~ Valentina. Perfect for Valentine's Day cards & layouts, or just for everyday layouts.

And as a treat for you for reading all the way through my bathroom ramblings, 2 quick stiks made w/ Valentina!!!

Exhaustion & the Sickies

2009-01-13T14:00:00.008-07:00

I just finished up a 3 day designing marathon. I've been commissioned to put together 120 designs of custom iron pieces {entry doors, gates, security doors, fence & railing} for a catalogue. Whew! I'm glad it's over. I was so focused on designing, I had to put Post It's on my computer to remind me to pick the girls up from school!!

Today, my little one is home sick. She had complained of a sore throat on Sunday morning, but said nothing more about it the rest of the day. So I basically blew it off. Yesterday, after school she said it was really hurting, even when just swallowing water. When I checked her throat ~ it was very red & splotchy. So she had to gargle with salt water & Antiseptic mouthwash, go to bed early {6:30!!} and take a day off school to rest. She's feeling much better now, so she'll most likely go to school tomorrow. Let's just hope it's not a virus that will run amuck throughout the household!!

Before I'm off to watch Animal Planet w/ my sick little one, here are a couple of gifts for you ~ quick stiks from my Madaline kit & one from Whitewash. Enjoy!

2009-01-09T05:58:00.003-07:00

Popping in real quick before I get in the shower ~ how about a free QS made with my new kit Talis? I thought you'd like that. LOL

New Items!

2009-01-07T19:05:00.002-07:00

I've been busy!! I have a new kit & paper pack I just uploaded to the store. Blogger is acting wonky & won't let me upload any pics, but if you click here & here the links will take you directly to the items. I'm off to hunt for old pics of the girls to scrap. G'nite...

Happy New Year!!

2009-01-04T19:42:00.005-07:00

Yeah, I know. I'm a few days late. But better late than never. Today was a cold & rainy day which we get very few of here in AZ. {Thank goodness!!} I love the fact that we can still wear shorts in January without fear of freezing to death! LOL

I had planned on taking my middle one to Abercrombie, but she ended up with a severe headache & vomiting. I was also going to take the girls to the park, but the rain squelched that idea. So instead I did some more organizing. I have so many scrap files on both my laptop & my PC, I needed to get them all in one place & in a organized manner so I knew exactly what I had. It seems I'm constantly organizing files. Maybe one day I'll actually be done! LOL In my quest to be uber organized I found an old kit that was hiding on the PC. I thought you'd all enjoy it, so here for your pleasure is the free full kit Izadore ~

It is so cold & windy today!! My nose & toes have been cold all day & I'm now going to bundle up with a good book & bowl of popcorn! LOL

Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas. We went to my Mom's with my 2 sisters & had a blast. It has become tradition whenever we get together to play Uno, & yesterday was the first time hubby played. We always end up in a fit of laughter & by the time we recover, we forget what started it off!! And the girls {ages 10, 12 & 15} love to play as much as we adults do. I think they like watching Mom & Aunties get silly {and there is NO alcohol involved!!!} more than playing the game!! LOL

Anyway, wanted to let everyone know I've uploaded 2 new kits to the store {click previews to be taken directly to the store} ~

Oh! It would be nice to let you know ~ all full size kits, including the 2 new ones, are 50% off until January 4th!!

What The Heck Happened???

2008-12-24T11:36:00.013-07:00

I am so sorry Folks it seems like I dropped off the face of the earth. Some unexpected events just happened all at the worst possible moment & all at the same time. It is too long to get into, & quite frankly, a bit depressing.

Needless to say, I still want you to all have the 12 Days of Christmas download, so sit back, relax & start downloading!! I will leave the links up for the next couple of weeks & re-activate the first 3 as well. And just as before, click each gift box for the download. Hope you all have the Merriest of Holidays & a Prosperous New Year!! Enjoy!! :)

2008-12-11T11:32:00.005-07:00

I was going through some very old CDs looking for a box template to hold some small gifts; I found it & thought it would be nice to give you all a little gift. Box, that is! LOL I used some of the Holly Noel papers to make it.

I Did It!!!

2008-12-11T06:41:00.002-07:00

Thanks to Franny, I got my new Blog look working! Thanks a million Franny!! ;)
Now it feels more like the Holidays around here. LOL
I'm now off to get myself ready to cart kids off to school & get Riley to the Dr. for a physical for Cheer. I'll be back tomorrow with the 1st part of the 12 Days of Christmas download. Until then, have a great day!!! :)

A Quickie

2008-12-10T16:17:00.004-07:00

A quick note before I run out to get the next kid after school! {One down, 2 to go!!} For the past 2 years I've done a 12 days of Christmas give-a-way. And this year is no different!! Starting this Friday and going until Dec. 24th, I will post a new gift each day for download. And in the end, you will have a full kit!! But this year I'm making it a true gift giving & not posting a preview of the whole kit. SURPRISE!!! Instead you get just a little teaser of what it will be!! So here it is, & be sure to check back on Friday for the 1st download.....

Frustrated

2008-12-09T18:00:00.002-07:00

I've been messing with my Blog today trying to change things around. I thought a winter or Holiday theme might be a nice change. So much for that idea! LOL
I wanted to add a background image & couldn't remember how to do it. {Yes, it's been that long since I've changed my Blog!} I wanted to have the background stationary & the text scroll {Like Brenda Smith's Blog. I love how this looks!} So I did a Google search for a tut. I found a great one, but for some reason, the background image was not showing up. I tried several different combos of code that I thought might work ~ & nothing. Then I thought maybe my image is too big. But what size do I make it? I had no idea. I know it can't be that difficult, I've built websites for goodness sake. But today Blogger has beaten me down! LOL
So, since the girls are begging me to feed them {darn those kids needing to be fed!! LOL} and I've lost patience w/ it, I quit for the night. Maybe I'll try again tomorrow. Maybe.
PS ~ if anyone knows how to do this, I'd love to hear your tips ;)

Lucky Day!

2008-12-08T13:21:00.005-07:00

Phew! I finally got the website back up & running. YEAH!!! I wanted to completely change it, but just not sure exactly what direction I wanted to go in. So for now, it's pretty much the same.
I spent the weekend hacking & caughing with a sore throat, & thankfully I feel better today & think I'm getting over it. Probably sleeping through pretty much the entire weekend helped!!
On a happy note, I found some more goodies for ya all on my little ol' harddrive! A retro style paper pack of holiday colors. Just in time for Holiday greeting cards, gift tags & layouts!!

Something for the Masses!

2008-12-03T16:00:00.008-07:00

The remodeling of my website is taking longer than I thought!! But then, don't all remodels take longer, cost more money & run into a series of delays?? LOL Between redoing the site, getting my sister's site up & running (she sells handmade jewelry, look for a link here soon) and trying to get some new items made for the store, the days just fly by. Especially those when I have to stop "early" to get a kid here, take a kid there, pick up another from wherever, then the rest of the day is shot.

The good news for those of you who read this is as I'm remodeling & cleaning, I found some more goodies!! (If you haven't grabbed my Chill Factor Kit yet, you better hurry, the link will expire on Friday). Here are some pastel gingham messy ribbons for you to play with. Enjoy!!

In the Holiday Mood & a Freebie!

2008-11-25T10:22:00.002-07:00

Today in {usually} sunny Arizona, it is cloudy & a cool 69 degrees. It feels like rain, which makes me think of snow, which makes me shiver! I grew up in New England, and hated the cold, shoveling snow, and being holed up in the house for days during storms with no electricity. Don't get me wrong, I think fresh fallen snow in New England is absolutely beautiful, I just no longer want to be in the middle of it!! LOL

I feel bad that the girls haven't had a chance to experience it though. Hubby & I keep saying that one day we will take them up north when the snows fall, but have yet to make it there. Maybe this will be the year!!

Anyway, as I'm "bundling up" {which means I'm wearing shoes with socks & a sweatshirt!} and going through files on my computer, I found a gem. I had this kit setting on my hard drive for Lord knows how long, & given how the day feels, it's the perfect freebie!! Chill Factor is a full kit of icy cool papers, elements & an adorable snowman drawn by my oldest, Savannah!

Where Oh Where Have I Been???

2008-11-22T18:27:00.002-07:00

Sorry to all those who were followers of my Blog. Life just sometimes gets away from you. My very busy, very stressful job is no more. Yeah!! :) And boo :(
Like so many, our company had fallen on tough times & some of us were let go. Now to find another job. Not all that easy. But in my down time, I am getting back to scrap booking!!! Yeah!!
I am currently freshening up my site. Not any huge changes, just a few little ones & I've re-worked a couple of my older kits. I've got to get back into the groove of designing ~ I have so many ideas in my head I feel my thoughts need organizing!! LOL
On the personal side, all this free time has allowed me to be there for the girls more, like in the old days when I didn't have a "real job". Today I took the younger 2 to a small park near the house. They were so excited. {it's nice that a 10 & 12 year old never get tired of the park!!} This one had a tire swing & that was the major appeal. Most of the parks have had them taken out. Apparently they've been a safety issue. Crazy, I know. Swings & slides can be pretty dangerous, too. Anyway, I had to get some pics & got some pretty goods ones too. The youngest, Darien, was not as cooperative. She'd rather play & run around then pose for Mom. So I don't have as many pics of her as I do of my photogenic, camera loving middle child, Riley. Now, had Savannah been there, the camera would've been full of her pics!! LOL
I'm off to finish my construction. Until next time....
{Hopefully it won't be so long!!}

Just Uploaded to the Store....

2008-07-07T06:22:00.004-07:00

Two new paper packs ~ 'The Basics'

Lightly grungy & crinkled dotted & solid papers ~

Some cleaner gingham & striped papers ~

And I realized something while adding these to the store ~ I designed my website on my old PC which has a lower screen resolution {800X600} and uploaded these latest items using my new laptop, which has a higher resolution. Now all the previews in the store look too small. I'm thinking I have to re-do the previews to make them larger & better to view on computers with higher resolutions. I know what I'll be doing next weekend!! I'm back to work today **sigh** so must go do my hair & make-up & leave the girls their "To Do" List. Have a great day!! ;)

It's Been Much Too Long....

2008-07-05T18:27:00.010-07:00

since I've sat down to the computer & scrapped some layouts. So that's what I've done the past 2 days. I was just itching to scrap the pictures of our trip to San Diego & still have many more to go. I've been bringing so much work home, I haven't had any time what so ever for scrapping. And I'm not looking forward to Monday morning {after a whole week off} when I get all those screaming phone calls of "Where is my door design!!??" I will not think about that this weekend, this week is all about me & my family, and the 5 layouts I managed to get done ~

Happy 4th!!

2008-07-03T17:04:00.007-07:00

Yes, I'm a day early, but I may not want to Blog tomorrow. I'm not quite sure what we'll be doing tomorrow since it's so hot here in the desert. The high is expected to be about 110, so we may be staying inside or by the pool most of the day. We haven't decided yet if we're going to go out for the fireworks. Anywhere you go, you have to get there at least 3 hours before the show & it's tough to sit in 110 degree weather for 3 hours waiting for a 1/2 hour show.

Hubby & I just got back from a 2 day stay in San Diego. My MIL rented a house in Vista CA, about 10 miles from the shore & paid for us to drive out for a couple days at the beach. We had so much fun. The first day (Monday) the weather was perfect ~ according to locals a "hot" 90 degrees! LOL To us Arizonans it was nice & cool. The water was cold at first, but not too bad once you were in. Hubby boogie boarded the entire 3 hours we were there & was pretty sore when we got home. The girls did a little boarding, but we mostly played in the waves. The second day (Tuesday) it was cloudy & the waves were HUGE! Perfect for boarding & playing, but very cold!! We played for another 3 or so hours then headed back to the house to pack for the drive home. It was a nice mini vacation. I actually stretched it out for the whole week!! I deserve it!

And now because you actually read this far ~ a couple new items. In the store a new paper pack ~ 'Land of the Free' which will be 1/2 off until 7/8 only $1.50!!!

And to co-ordinate with the paper pack an element pack freebie!! This will be available until 7/8, then it will be moved to the store ~

{Thank you for your interest in my freebie, but this download is no longer available.}

Have a safe & fun Fourth for those who celebrate, & for those who don't, have fun anyway!!

A Very Late Gift

2008-06-22T18:51:00.004-07:00

I ment to get this little goodie out for everyone way before this. I bought a new laptop ~ which I'm loving since it's sooo much faster than my old PC ~ & it took longer than I figured transfering all my files. You never realize how much digital scrapbooking stuff you have until you need to move them to another computer!! LOL.

So now I'm pretty much set up & ready to roll. I have some past freebies to add to the sale rack in the store, so that's my next project for next weekend. In the mean time I have a little mini album freebie. Made with A Time for Dad Paper Pack this mini album is perfect for Dad or just for everyday. Enjoy.

Grab the Good Stuff Here

As always please do not share this link, please direct those interested in my freebie to my Blog. Thank you.

Happy Mother's Day!

2008-05-11T07:17:00.006-07:00

Today I'm running to Wal-Mart to pick up some supplies, then it's a day of relaxing! The girls are cleaning the house for me & doing the dishes, so all I have to do is absolutely nothing! I may pick up a new DVD player ~ ours kicked the bucket ~ and rent a movie or two; we'll see.
While I'm sitting around relaxing, doing nothing, I thought you'd like a little something for yourselves to play with. How about a set of 4 Graph Paper Solids with co-ordinating Kwick Stiks? Here's a look ~

{Thank you for your interest in my freebie, but this download is no longer available.}

I'm Back & With a Freebie!!!

2008-04-14T07:57:00.006-07:00

Hello!

I made it back. Not as soon as I'd hoped, but here I am! I've been working on a little goodie for all you devoted FernLili Fans who've waited patiently for me to come out of the "Bat Cave"! LOL

I thought having a helper at work would actually help, but not really. So, I've been playing catch-up pretty much by myself & again, had to take designs home this weekend. One client was working w/ my co-worker, but felt he wasn't listening to him & felt I had a better understanding of what he was trying to achieve. So on top of all my other designs, I've had to take this one on. It's never ending!

But on to some Digi Scrapping stuff. The 55% off sale is still going on in the Store, but could end at any time. {Basically when I get a minute to set all the prices back to regular!} So get on over there before you miss out on some fantastic deals.

And now for today's goodie. I mini kit of neutral, earth tone colors perfect for just about any scrap page ~

And to sweeten the deal just a bit more ~ a 4X4 Quick Stik Mini Album included!!!

{Thank you for your interest in my freebie, but this download is no longer available.}

Hello????

2008-04-01T08:15:00.001-07:00

Hello??? Hello??? Anyone out there??
I’ve been one crappy Blogger these past 4 months :( Please forgive me.... I’ve been consumed with work & the girls, but now things are slowing down a bit. For now anyway! LOL
I was given the responsibility of taking over all the designing at work & we were sooo behind that I was designing all day at work & then bringing it home to catch up & finish. But now I have an underling {or as one co-worker put it my “Design Bitch”!}to help.
Thank goodness things have quieted down around the house with the girls as well. Savannah has finished up with cheer for this school year so we have a bit of a break from that. But….all girls have to try out for next year’s squad, and she made Varsity!! All girls trying out practice for a week learning a cheer & dance then on Friday they had the actual try out. Thurs. the girls were taught a new dance & Savannah wasn’t in practice because she had a choral concert. That Fri. she had about 30 mins. before the try outs to learn the dance & the Varsity Coach was so impressed at how quickly she picked up the moves & was able to execute it with just 1 small goof! I’m so very proud of her!! Unfortunately, Varsity practices much more than JV, so next week it starts with 2 practices a week. **Sigh**
I’ve been browsing the web checking out what’s new at all my favorite Digi sites & love, love, love what I’m seeing so many designers creating. My favorites are Funky Playground, Cat Scrap, & of course Shabby Princess. I’ve got the designing itch in my fingers after looking at all their yummy creations!! LOL So, I think I’m going to put off designing for work at home {unless I’m under a deadline}& try to do more digi designing. My websites been neglected as well & needs some much needed attention. {I’ve been running a 55% off sale & it COULD end at any time, so if you’d like some great bargains, get over to the Shop now!} Not to mention I haven’t scrapped a page in I don’t even remember when!!
I must get kids to school & then I’m off to work. Have a great day & I hope to be back soon. {Maybe even with a little goodie!! ;)}

Happy New Year!!!!

2007-12-31T07:38:00.001-07:00

OK. It’s not quite the New Year, but it is New Year’s Eve! I’m going into work this morning for just a few hours, then the youngest 2 are going to friends for a New Year’s Eve Bash Sleepover. They’re so excited & have been doing a daily countdown since Thanksgiving!! LOL I’m not sure what Hubby & I will be doing, since Savannah will be home. He may work {he drives a taxi cab} since this is a big night for people who want to drink but not drive ~ which is fine with me if he works, that’s extra money for us!! LOL
Hope everyone had a pleasant Christmas. The girls & I went to my Mom’s on Sunday the 23rd to celebrate it with her & my 2 sisters. Mom didn’t do the big dinner this year, we just munched on cheese, crackers & veggies, drank lots of egg nog & sparkling grape juice! Then after opening all our gifts, we played our favorite game of all time ~ UNO!! We play it every time we get together & it goes on & on & on & on…..We’ve literally had one game last for 4 hours!!
Christmas day we went to my SIL house to spend it with her, her 2 kids, & the rest of Hubby’s family. Hubby’s Aunt, her husband & his Grandma drove from Nebraska & his cousin flew in from New York.
After opening all the gifts, it’s his family’s tradition to see a movie on Christmas day. Hubby’s Uncle buys the gift certificates ahead of time, and then we decide what movie to see. This year we saw National Treasure ~ Book of Secrets. Pretty good movie. It was decided we should catch the 2:20 showing, so we gather up kids, decide who is going with who & leave for the theater. Hubby, the kids & I as well as his Mom & boyfriend get there, but didn’t want to get the tickets yet because the rest of the family had yet to arrive. My SIL & the rest of the crew finally arrive 10-15 mins after us & the 2:20 show is sold out. So we get tickets for the 3:20 show & wait @ the theater behind about 75 other people for an hour to get decent seats. Crazy!! But, we enjoyed the movie & head back to my SIL house for my MIL to make her famous & delicious enchiladas. Needless to say, my SIL forgot to get all the ingredients for enchiladas so Hubby’s Mom was going to take us to dinner, but the only restaurant open on Christmas day was Denny’s. NOT where I want to go for a Christmas dinner!! It was about 7:30 PM by then, the girls were getting cranky & hungry. So we head back home & have a Christmas dinner of burritos!! Not quite your traditional Christmas dinner!! LOL

I must be off to work now. Have a save & Happy New Year. ;)

Merry Christmas!!

2007-12-24T17:33:00.001-07:00

Merry Christmas Eve!! I’m officially done with ALL my gift buying; I finished up this morning & have been wrapping between baking banana bread, cleaning up a bit & playing with the girls toys. We had Christmas at my Mom’s yesterday w/ my 2 sisters, & the girls really hit pay dirt w/ Grandma!! And tomorrow it’s Christmas with Hubby’s family.
Since I will be away for Christmas, I will give you the remaining freebies. Somehow I missed a day & have 3 for you. I’m sure you’re OK with that aren’t you?? LOL And here they are ~ a set of stapled jewelry tags, some messy stitches, & a set of satin bows. Enjoy & the Merriest of Christmases to everyone! ;)

2007-12-23T08:41:00.000-07:00

Well, I made it through shopping at Wal-Mart & Target yesterday without a scratch!! Pretty much got everything on the lists. Hubby has to get the last of the gifts; just a few more from Santa & we’re done for this year. Whew!! Now I will sit back & relax. I don’t have to worry about cooking dinner this year, my SIL is doing that. I’m not entertaining at my house, so I don’t have to worry that the vacuum cleaner broke & the carpet is a disgusting mess. I’ve even put aside working on designs for work for the next 4 days!! This is Heaven! Actually what would make it more like Heaven is if Hubby gets me the Dyson I want so I can get this house cleaned up! Yes, I’m the type of person who doesn’t mind when her husband buys her gifts like vacuum cleaners. LOL!
On a bit of a different note, I’m hoping Kendra W has stopped by to read my little o’ Blog. If you’re reading this Kendra, you purchased 2 kits from the store & the Pay Pal address you have was returned as unavailable. I want to get the download links to you, so if can you contact me here with an alternate email address I will get them out ASAP. Thanks.
Now on to today’s freebie ~ a set of gingham bows in colors to match the papers. Enjoy!

Are You Ready??

2007-12-22T10:24:00.000-07:00

Christmas is only 3 days away. {Aakkkk!!!!} Everyone have your shopping done?? I don’t!! Savannah & I are heading out in a bit so she can get her gifts for Riley & Darien, then I have to finish my shopping, do Hubby’s & get Santa gifts. All this I plan on getting done today. Not to mention I have to go to the grocery store, too!! It’s now about 10:30 & I really should’ve had most of this done already. Oh, well.
I wanted to get you guys your goodies before I headed out into the madness. Today there will be 2 since I didn’t get yesterdays uploaded. I was having problems w/ the internet & was just too damn tired to mess with it after work! So, you get a set of stitched felt stars & assorted frames for today. Enjoy!! I’m off & hopefully will make it back in one piece!!

Christmas Gifts for All

2007-12-17T06:55:00.000-07:00

As you may know from reading my previous post, some of my husband’s extended family members will be here for Christmas & I was struggling with not only the hassle of having Christmas in 3 places {our house, w/ my family & w/ his family}, but also with the financial aspect of the whole affair. I came up with what I think is an awesome solution. We live right next door to a CVS & they print digital pictures in 1 hour for just pennies. And across the street is a 99 cent store. So….for just a few dollars Savannah & I went around the neighborhood taking pics of some interesting things to give for gifts!! We’re doing some photo editing in PSP so they’ll each have an
interesting effect. Here is a sample of one I just did of a photo I took ~

ORIGINAL:

EDITED:

I love changing a pic to B&W with just the “subject” in color. Especially if the color pops! I think our family will enjoy them, especially since the photos were taken by Savannah & I. And it was fun finding things a little “unusual” to photograph & frame.
Now for your goodie of the day ~ fabric tags, perfect for your Holiday layouts!

She Does Exist!!!

2007-12-14T07:03:00.000-07:00

I’m here, I’m alive & I’ve been such a bad bloggerL. I’ve just been so busy at work; I’ve had next to no time for much else. The company has hired 2 new people, so I’m hoping they will have the skills to help take some of the weight off my shoulders. I’m handling customer service calls, product status calls, scheduling technical measurements, scheduling installs, and production tracking. Add to that the designing, which I’ve gotten behind on & have been taking home. Hence my lack of time to Blog. Not to mention I’ve shopped for exactly one, yes, ONE Christmas gift & that I did online!! What I would really love to do is just spend the day with my family just hanging out, play some board games & cards & just be together. But my SIL has this big to-do planned with her & hubby’s grandma, aunt, uncle, cousin & mother. Plus her kids & mine. I’m actually not looking forward to it. I know, I know. I sound like the Grinch. But she wants to have EVERYONE {adults included} bring a stocking over the night before, then show up early the next morning for breakfast & present opening. I barely have enough money to buy my own kids gifts, much less my husbands cousin who I met once 12 years ago, his aunt I see maybe every 2-3 years, & an 80 something grandmother who really does not need another knick knack or do-dad. I think the stress of work & the Holidays are making me crabby L
So I will move on to more uplifting subjects ~ last year at this time of year, I gave away a full kit in a “12 Days of Christmas” download-a-day freebie. It was a big hit, so this year I will again have the “12 Days of Christmas” freebie-a-day, but this time it will be a different thing each day. And to start things off, today’s freebie is a set of 4 paper trees; lightly decorated so there is room for you to add your own trimmings of glitter & glitz. Because I’ve started a day later than planned, be sure to check back again tonight for another freebie!!

A SALE & A FREEBIE!!!!!!

2007-10-07T14:01:00.001-07:00

Since going back to work full time {2 years now!!}, I’ve had to make some big & very difficult decisions & some compromises. One of them being my store. I just don’t have the time right now to devote to my designing like I should. {It’s been so busy at work, I’ve been bring designs home to work on.} I will still offer freebies here on my Blog, so be sure to check back once in awhile. I won’t be closing the shop, but I am having a huge sale! Pass it on to all you know ~ I’m having a whopping 55% off everything!!!! This even includes some new items I’ve added!!! Check them out ~

Not much else to report, fall has finally arrived ~ YEAH! It was 70 today & I was freezing!! But it’s a nice relief from the 110 degree weather we’ve had! Things have been busy with the girls various activities, but all next week is Fall Break, so things will slow down for just a bit. Savannah was playing with the camera again {& with a couple of my coats w/ fur collars}& as usual got some cool shots of herself. I’ll have to post them later. For now, hop on over to the Shop & get a bargain or two, & here is a little something for all your fall layouts ~

Cool Weather, Sunshine & Rain

2007-09-16T17:34:00.000-07:00

Ahhh, the beauty of living in Arizona. It is currently a warm 97 degrees, sunny & raining!! I looked for a rainbow, but haven’t seen one yet. The youngest 2 girls are outside playing in the rain, one of the joys I never really got to do as a kid growing up in New England. The cool weather is a nice relief. It’s been an average of 110 lately. It looks like fall may finally be arriving!! Yeah!!
I haven’t been doing much scrapping lately. I’ve been on the computer so much lately, both at work & home; my right hand is beginning to cramp. I guess maybe it could be carpal {sp?} tunnel, the muscle in my middle finger from the knuckle to my wrist starts to really hurt & cramp now. The downfall of enjoying technology ;(
I did get a scrapbook page done, although it took me the entire week to complete!! Every time I’ve sat down to scrap some pics, I just stare at the screen & nothing. No ideas, no inspiration, no mojo. So I decided to pop on over to We Digi Dare Ya & last week they had a great dare. To find an artist, style, technique, or topic that you have wanted to try but haven’t yet and try to SCRAP LIKE THAT! And to use products from at least one designer you’ve never tried before. Bingo! I’ve always wanted to scrap just one picture with lots of “do dads” around it. Kinda like they were just thrown there, and I had just done some shopping at Funky Playground & Lily Pad, so I had some new “do dads” to play with. I didn’t get the LO done in time to get the fab freebie, but hey, a LO got completed!! LOL

Here’s my newest LO of Riley ~

Credits ~ background paper – Funky Playground Sept. Goodie Box; frame, proverb heart – Jess Bolton; paper flower – Ann deJong; tatty bow – Syrin; stitched flowers – Traci Murphy; blanket stitch – Kate Hadfield; knotted ribbon, graphic rub-on – Little Dreamer Designs; hook & eye, string – Linda Gil Billdal; stitches cluster – Natali; bow in eyelets – Alma Townsend; tag & pin – Miss Mint

The "Good Ol' Days"

2007-09-02T11:08:00.000-07:00

Boy, are there days when I wish the girls were still toddlers. Life was so much easier then!! No constant bickering & picking, no dramas over hair & wardrobe, {OK, a little from Savannah, but she’s ALWAYS been a Drama Queen!! LOL}, and the most running around we did was to the grocery store, Target, Grandma’s & the park. Now, I’m at work by 7:45am and on my way home about 4:30 or 5:00pm, but first I run over to the elementary school to pick up Darien from after school activities, then to the middle school to get Riley from volleyball, then home to whip up a nutritious & yummy dinner, and back out again to take Savannah to either tumbling or cheer practice. Getting computer time has also become harder now that the kids need it for school. When I do get my turn, I’m too tired to think!! I have just enough energy to read my emails!! They’re not too happy with me taking over the computer for the entire weekend, but it is what it is.
I’m glad my girls {especially Savannah, who’s now 14} are getting into sports; it keeps them out of trouble, but sheesh! I’ve lost all my “Me Time”!! I don’t even have it in the morning like I used to because the girls are getting up at 5:30am, just after I do! Sleep-overs with friends have become a welcomed relief!
But enough griping, since it’s a long weekend {thank goodness, I REALLY needed it!!} I was able to finish up 2, yes 2, projects I’ve been working on. Many of the kids have either started back to school, or will be soon, so I have goodies perfect for such an occasion. Another 2 8X8 Kwick Stick Mini Albums!! The first one was made with my Magic Marker paper pack, plus elements from both freebies & various element packs. {Download below} And because this is Labor Day weekend when most designers have sales, and I haven’t had time to set one up, there is another Kwick Stik Mini Album in my store!! Made with Study Hall Paper Pack, this too is great for back to school pictures. {Click image to be taken to FernLilis} So, enjoy, have a wonderful weekend, I’m off for a BBQ with my Mom & 2 sisters.

It's Been Quite Awhile....

2007-08-11T12:31:00.000-07:00

Hello Blog readers!! I hope you haven't forgotten me!! With my new promotion at work, school starting, & carting Savannah here & there for cheer, I'm exhausted each night. And today, a Saturday, my day off, I have to got into work for a bit. Not that I really mind all that much, it's for the benefit of the company & I live just 5 mins away. Just a few minutes this morning, back home, then back to work again late this afternoon. Anyway, I've had a goodie for you all that's been sitting on my hard drive, waiting for when I had time to get it uploaded to my shop. Yeah!! That day has come!! I had such a huge response to the 8X8 kwick stik mini album made with my Pleasant Dreams paper pack, I decided to make another!! This one is with my Estate Sale paper pack and has a more masculine look. Take a look ~

So zip on over to FernLili's & pick it up. And while you're there, browse the shop, you never know what might catch your fancy!! {;) hint, hint!}

What Could be Better Than an 8X8 Mini Album???

2007-07-22T10:11:00.000-07:00

Getting an 8X8 Mini Album FREE!!! This 6-page album is made with my Pleasant Dreams paper pack & various elements, as well as a few past freebies. Perfect for a new baby's brag book. Grab it over on my site.....

Where Oh Where Have I Been??

2007-07-16T18:19:00.000-07:00

Gosh, it feels like it's been an eternity since I've sat down to Blog!! I got a raise & promotion at work, and now work 7 AM to 4 PM. And because I'm now salary, I'm sometimes there until 5!! And to top it off it has been 110 or hotter & so humid!! Humidity levels have been around 13%, which for some is no big deal, but for us Arizonians, that's bordering on unbearable!! LOL It just leaves you drained with so little energy to do much but sit in front of a fan.

I've been working on something new for the store, & just added it today. A mix of 19 xtras that are great additions to all your layouts, and it's only $2.oo!! {Click on image to be taken directly to the store. Hint, hint!}

The 2 younger girls are going to spend a couple weeks in San Diego with their Grandmother, leaving this Wed. with my SIL {Savannah will stay just through the weekend, then come back with SIL} so I'm looking forward to some quiet time. I hate to say it, but they have been driving me mad all summer! Hubby works nights, and sleeps all day, so it's like the girls are home alone. Nothing gets done, if they eat, they eat everything in the house, they watch Disney Channel half the day, and I've had to lock my computer so they didn't spend the other half of the day on that. And, my gosh, the messes they make!! They're little slobs!! They're cooped up all day, so when I get home {exhausted after a long & busy day} all I get is the whining & complaining. They definitely need a change of scenery, & I need a break!!!

Whew!! That's enough bitching for the night!! LOL I'm off to watch 'Hell's Kitchen", but you know I won't jet without leaving you a little goodie. Here is a little sample of my new Xtras Mix ~

Must dash off to work but before I do, I want to leave you all the last freebie for the month. A set of Bread Tag Labels.

And before I take off, a reminder that my 55% sale ends midnight Saturday, and all the Blog freebies will be gone the, too. Enjoy & have a great day!get them here

Pictures

2007-06-25T19:35:00.000-07:00

Not much to talk about today except this picture of a dead bug my sister found in her back yard ~

That's her roommate's foot, and she wears like a size 8!!! EEEWWWW GROSS!!!! She {the roommate} even picked it up!! {Even more grosser!!!} My sister searched the Internet to find out what kind of bug it is; here is what she found out ~

Giant Root Borer (not species specific) Date: 2001 June 09 (seen at various times into July) Place: Guadalupe Mountains National Park Pine Springs Visitor Center (after dark)
This adult beetle is seen on the wooden boardwalk leading to the Center. All four wings can be seen - the hardened front wings and the more membranous hind wings. This is a large beetle - 1 to 3 inches long, and appears to be a clumsy flier.

Now on to the cuter things in life ~ Cali! Who can resist a cute kitten sleeping & playing?? Take a look ~ I used my frame clusters 2 ~

Oh, and I have another goodie for you!! They're what I call ripped paper tags. Little pieces of torn craft paper & notebook paper, great for jotting down things like dates in your layouts ~

Finally, TWO Layouts!!!

2007-06-24T15:35:00.000-07:00

I know, how shocking. I haven't been very inspired lately, but browsed a few galleries for ideas & the juices began to flow. Here is one of Riley from many years ago!! I made the dress a couple of years before this picture was taken for Savannah, & all 3 girls wore it!

credits ~ Polaroid frame, papers {Fudge paper pack} & tag - mine; bling flower, fuzzy scalloped border, bling stick pin, stitches, paper fold template & envelope holders - Pink Poodle Studios; glitter flower - Carrie Stephens; corner border made with Pink Poodle Studios bling

Journaling ~

Princess Riley

She wears only the finest gowns made by the best seamstress in the land {Mom}, and a jeweled crown from the finest jeweler {Wal-Mart}!

I have so many pictures of Savannah {ALL of which she's taken!!! LOL} and wanted to do a multi photo LO with some. Bent frame clusters are all the rage now so I gave them a try. Check it out ~

credits ~ papers {Sunday paper pack}, tag & frames - mine; embroidery stitches & bow - Lisa Whitney, paper tear - Steph; word labels - Carrie Stephens

And I had so much fun trying my hand at the bent frame clusters, I made a couple as freebies!!! Both are 300 dpi & in png format, so all you need to do is plop them on a page & slip your pics under them!

Just a reminder ~ this is the final week of my store wide sale - once it's over, the rock bottom prices will be gone, and so will the freebies, so hurry on over to the store.

No Title

2007-06-20T17:11:00.000-07:00

I just got home from a very boring day at work. It was so slow, I was sending signals to the phone to ring ~ It didn't work!! ;)

Anyway, I meant to list credits for the frames I used for Cali's pictures. So here they are ~ Cali 1 ~ frame by Pink Poodle Studios {re-colored}, ribbons mine; Cali 2 ~ frame & cardboard shapes by Pink Poodle Studios {re-colored}, Cali 3 ~ frame & glitter flowers by Carrie Stephens; Cali 4 ~ Shabby Princess {Songbird's Folk Art Charity Kit}

Hey! Do you remember in grade school making pictures with construction paper cut-out shapes? Remember when you first started paper scrapping & used the same techniques on your pages? What?? You didn't use construction paper cut-outs in your scrap booking?? Well I did, before decided I was not very good with paper scrapping and hit my niche with digi! Just in case you occasionally want to go "back to your roots", I've made a set of summer cutouts for today's freebie ~

Lazy, Do Nothing, Hang Around Weekend

2007-06-17T16:17:00.000-07:00

I've had absolutely no energy this weekend. Yesterday afternoon, and again this afternoon, I took a 2-3 hour nap!!! I got up this morning at 6:00 AM and did some laundry, then Darien & I hung out at the pool for 2 hours. I fiddled on the computer a bit ~ I really need to get files organized & burned onto CDs, but the kids wanted to play on the computer, so I put it off. {As I knock on wood the computer does't crash!!!} I'm going to let Savannah chat with her friends, but before I go, here is another goodie for you ~ 8 pieces of torn cardboard with some colored, some left natural ~

Here Kitty, Kitty

2007-06-12T20:08:00.000-07:00

Kitty {who is slowly being called Cali; as in California} has made herself right at home. She uses her litter box all the time now, so we don't have to keep her in the bathroom all night, and has quickly learned what happens when we go into the kitchen!!! I've had to warn the girls against giving her too much "people" food, because she was getting diarrhea {sp}. She loves to take her cat naps on my desk by the printer, or on occasion my keyboard!! She also loves to play with my pen when I use my tablet, which makes it a bit difficult at times to design!! LOL Savannah dropped a glue stick on the floor 2 days ago, and Cali Kitty loves playing with it so much, we've left it! And now for the Awwww factor, here are some pics the girls took ~

Can you believe those blue eyes??? This photo has not been re-touched ~ I hope they stay.

She loves looking in the mirror & trying to play with the kitten she sees there....

Yes, she's asleep in Savannah's hands!!! LOL

Now, because you've been s kind as to read this far, & ohhed & ahhhed over our kitty, I have a little goodie for you. A collection of 10 bitty bows with jump rings to hang itty bitty what-nots from. Like the tiny tag and 2 metal charms that are included!!

Kitty

2007-06-07T18:22:00.000-07:00

That's what we've been calling Kit-Ten the past few days. I'm sure eventually she'll get a "real" name. Then again, she may remain Kitty. LOL She's adjusting very well, but still just a bit skittish. I figure in another week she'll be feeling completely comfortable in her new surroundings. I took these pics of her & Riley last night while we watched 'Next Best Thing' ~

Sean gave her a bath {brave man!!! LOL} so she's all soft & fluffy. And oh so adorable!! Off to watch a bit of TV, then settling down with a trashy Nora Roberts novel before bed. Will have a goodie for you tomorrow. Until then....

A New Family Member

2007-06-06T10:13:00.000-07:00

I'm sneaking over here again while at work since it's sloooow & the boss is away!!!
Last night my darling husband brought home a new family member ~ a tiny kitten!! He plays disc golf at a local park & apparently this little gal was either abandoned by her mom or got separated. I'm not sure exactly how old she is, but my guess is around 8 weeks. Naturally we had no kitten food, so I had to improvise ~ we had some small dog biscuits {for when our lab "visits"} so I put one in the blender with a bit of water to make some "wet" food for her. She ate it and drank some water ~ a good sign. But being so young, and I'm sure never around humans, she's skittish. The poor baby tries to hide in a corner calling for her Mama. I'm sure she'll learn that she will get plenty of love and attention in our house!! My 3 girls are major animal lovers & were so delighted Dad brought her home. Because she is not potty trained, we fixed up a bed for her in the tub in the second bath. I felt kinda bad she was in the bathroom alone all night, but I did not want to wake up to any little "accidents" on the carpet!! So far she's being called "Kitten" ~ I know how original, but Savannah picked the name & insists that we call her that, but with emphesis on the "T" ~ KiT-Ten. I'm sure there will be pictures to follow ~ after we get her used to us & give her a bath. She's yellow & white, but the white looks more grey right now!!
Wow! What a lot of yapping I've done today!! LOL
Oh, got some scrapping news ~ I have 2 new paper packs I'll be adding to the store; and be on the look-out for a free sample pack of them on my Blog in the next few days. Also, be on the look-out for a big announcement coming soon!
Must get back to looking like I'm working!! LOL Until next time.....

Relaxing, Swimming & Scrapping

2007-06-03T08:40:00.000-07:00

That's basically what I've been doing for the past week. I have a TON of pictures {mostly ones of the girls when they were babies!!} I really need to get scrapped, so I've been trying to get that done. The girls are now out of school for the summer, so we've been hanging out at the pool most of the weekend, and there have been quite a few hours just laying on the couch watching movies! I did manage to pump out a new freebie for the store ~ some fun envelopes with 4 different types off fasteners. Here's a preview you can grab them here.

Ooppps!!!

2007-05-29T07:34:00.000-07:00

It appears that ALL the "Buy Now" buttons in the store are not working . I am working feverishly this morning & again tonight after work to get them in working order. To account for them not working, I will extend the sale until Friday, June 1st. My apologies & please bear with me while I work on the problem.

Pit Stop

2007-05-26T13:47:00.000-07:00

Just stopping in real quick while I have a moment to remind everyone of my Memorial Weekend Sale ~ everything {except sale rack items} are 30% off!! Sale ends Monday. We have a busy Saturday. This morning at 8:30 had an appointment to get my hair cut. That took until 10 ~ Evyn, my stylist takes her time getting the cut right & then styling the way I like. Then I grabbed a kid & ran to the grocery store for a few things. And even with just one kid, it always takes nearly an hour & I always stray from the grocery list!!! Now I have to make up a batch of deviled eggs to bring to my sister's for a BBQ and get the girls ready. All in the next 30 minutes before we have to leave. So I must get a move on....
Until next time....

MIA

2007-05-21T06:50:00.000-07:00

I know, I know. Where have I been?? Out & about is where I've been! LOL This is the last week before the girls are on summer break, so last week was filled with, end of the year concerts, ceremonies, dances, etc... Savannah had an 8th Grade Promotion Dance, so I died her hair very blonde & dark brown underneath, & took her to the local beauty school {they really do a good job!!} for a hip new hair cut. She looks so cute ~ pics to follow in the next few days. After the dance she went bowling with a group of friends. I took some pics when I dropped her off & let her take the camera, hoping for some cool shots. {'Cause we all now she's the photographer in the family!!} She brought it back with ONE, yes ONE pic she took at the bowling alley!!! She said she forgot & one of her girlfriends took a bunch of pics, so I'm pushing her to get them from her. Will post those as soon as we have them.
As for designing schtuff ~ I worked all weekend on some new items for the store, as well as a new look for the shop. I was getting bored with it!! So be sure to check back ~ & who knows, I might throw in a sale just for fun!!!
Have a great day! Until next time....

Happy NSD!!!

2007-05-05T16:25:00.000-07:00

Hey Gals! I whole heartily intended to post this morning, but life interrupted. This morning, Savannah & I had the second, of what I’m sure will be many, cheer meetings. It was a 2 hour meeting, being that she’s a “Newbie” there were a few extra things the coach had to go over. The squad is immediately jumping into it all. Starting with a car wash fundraiser. They are meeting this coming Thursday to go around the neighborhood selling presale tickets for the car wash. And the actual car wash event is next Saturday. Talk about busy, busy, busy!!! After our 2+ hr. meeting, I had to put the house back into some kind of order. My SIL stopped by this afternoon & took the 2 younger girls for a sleep-over, so it’s a quiet night with just me & Savannah. She is watching repeats of ANTM {no surprise there!!!} and I’m sure studying it all for her aspiring career as photographer/photo shoot director/model!!
Anyway, on to why I stopped by ~ I know many designers & shops are having NSD sales, & since I just had a sale, I’ve decided to give away a kit!! A brand new kit just for my loyal fans & Blog readers!! Yeah you!!! So here is Summer Crush ~

Grab it here

{Thank you for your interest in my freebie, but this download is no longer available.}

I’ve also added a new freebie in the store ~ Stikaz. A collection of heart, flower & star stickers to fun & funk up your layouts!

A Little Funny

Check this out. It's pretty funny & a very unique way to market your product....click here

On another note, things have been a bit topsie-turvie the past couple days. We needed the apartment bombed for roaches {uuggg!!!} and the office told me the exterminator would be here Tuesday morning. So we clear out ALL the kitchen cabinets, ALL the bathroom cabinets, pack in boxes ALL our towels, linens & clothes on Sunday & Monday, only to find out the ding-bat office lady told us the wrong day!!!! They were scheduled to come on Wednesday!! Do you have any idea what a pain it is to have an entire house packed up while living in it??? I did leave out 1 plate, bowl & utensil for each member & ordered Chinese on Sunday, but had to pull out a few pots & pans to make dinner Monday & last night. Now, little by little, I'm putting just what we need for the next 3 months back. Whatever we don't absolutely need, I'm leaving in boxes, for when our lease is up in July I have less to pack!! And to top off a wonderful week, rent is due, I need $300 by Saturday for cheer, we need groceries & work has been slow for Hubby. **Sigh** Now we're off to work & school ~ later Dudettes!!!

The End

2007-04-30T05:47:00.000-07:00

Well, ladies, today is the last day of April's download-a-day freebie :(
But fear not, some more freebies are in the works. You never know when they'll show up ~ be sure to stop by often so you don't miss a thing. And check out the Store tomorrow ~ I've done some spring cleaning, and have added a few of my older kits to the Sale Rack, as well as Fresh ~ at an incredible, unbelievable, I'm outta my mind low price! And I've added some cool new elements ~ I've been having fun playing with felt & ribbons!!

The girls & I were up & in the pool @ 8:30 this morning! Can you believe it?? I love living in AZ!!! We only stayed an hour though, it was wicked windy late yesterday afternoon, so the pool was full of dirt & leaves. And what have I got for you today? Another quick page! This one created by Elaine ~ thanks!!

Savannah made the cheer squad!! Now I have 2 weeks to save up for uniform, shoes & camp. Plus, she needs new practice shoes & shorts, not to mention a few sports bras the coach said they all need to wear!! Then in August when she starts Jr High we have to pay for electives such as photography, clothing design, art, etc. High school sure is expensive!! I'm now going to cut this short to get the girls up & going if they want to swim today. So here is part 28 ~

2007-04-27T06:55:00.000-07:00

Yeah!! It's Friday!! The end of the week!! Two days off to relax by the pool {it's going to be in the mid 90's this weekend!} The Home Show starts today, and it's typically slow on home show days, so I'm bringing a book, reading the New Times and doing as little as possible. The day will probably drag, so be it. Today is Savannah's last day of cheer try-outs & I think this is when they find out who makes the squad. I'm pretty confident she'll make it ~ I have to say, she's pretty good!

Now, switching gears, here is part 27 of FernLili's Fresh Freebie ~

Sneeking Around....

2007-04-26T09:42:00.000-07:00

Hi guys!! Shhhhhh ~ don't tell anyone, but I'm posting this at work today. We have a display at a Home Show this weekend, so most of the shop {& bosses!!} are out setting it up. So, I stopped by to see what's happening on my little ol' Blog while I'm {supposed to} be hard at work!! Monique left a comment that she just found me & missed most of the kit. Monique, & anyone else who missed pieces/parts, need not worry ~ I will add the kit to my shop's sale rack the first of May, for an incredible, unbelievable, out of my mind low price. It will almost be like giving it away again, but I do have to pay for my web hosting some how, right??!! LOL
Anyway, it was nice to pop in under the radar, and drop a little note to those who read regularly. I guess I should do something productive, ya know look busy, just in case.... LOL
Until tomorrow ~ have a great day!! ;)
