Boy, have I been neglecting my blog! Its kinda embarrassing. But to make up for it and to celebrate National Scrapbooking Day, I’m offering a freebie and a great deal! whoohooo!

I am offering my Spring Shine Collection, all SIX kits for only $10.00!!

You can find them here:

Here is the freebie. You will find it here;

And would you PLEASE, leave me some love here on my blog if you like it!!!

Would you beleive I have another new kit?? I’m on a roll! This one is my current favorite. It’s a great kit for boys in addition to pretty much anything else. Of couse - I might be biased.

Here is the preview;

And of coures, I have a freebie for you!

Enjoy, and if you like it, leave me little love! Thanks!

I’ve been designing again, after what feels like ages! It’s absolutely freezing here, really, its about 30degrees right now. I know for many of you that is not that cold, but for us whimpy Northwesterners - its COLD!! So this kit is perfect for those cold weather days….

And, if you have a winter baby, it would make really cute baby pictures too!

Here’s a preview of it (if you are SO impressed with the previews that you want to buy it, just click on the pics):

Let me guess, you want a free sample? right? Well, lucky for you - I have one!!

Just click on this preview;

Enjoy, and do me a favor, please, please, please leave a message on my blog!! Thanks ever so much!

Anyone have any?

I do. Last year it was to start yoga (because I felt like I was losing
flexibility and feeling old), well, I’m still doing yoga, and loving
it so I decided to try again this year….

1. To do yoga 3 times a week rather than just 2. (Just got back on
track yesterday, since I’ve been sick, I haven’t gone for 2 weeks!)
2. To quit eating so much chocolate at night (that one’s not going so
well)
3. To lose 10 pounds (its a long shot, but what the heck?)
4.  To do a better job on my blog.  (How do these people do it??)

I’ve been reading Because I Said So these days and the one thing I keep thinking is: (my fellow scrappers will laugh at this) that would be so awesome to print all those entries and make a scrapbook!!

And although I’m not anything near as good a writer as she is, I’m going to try it. Heck, at the very least maybe I’ll actually post once in while!

We had a great Christmas, I hope you all did as well. I talked to my big brother last night, well, tried to, he had a hard time talking because he was laughing so hard with delight at my oh-so-not-happy response to the gift he got my boys. It sounds pretty harmless -a nerf tag game- but names can be deceiving. It comes with vests (to be used worn as targets), goggles, and massive nerf guns. Now this game would be fine if it weren’t for the impossible-to-resist attraction of shooting the “other guy” when they aren’t “playing.” Which inevitably ends up with the “injured” party coming to me and a LOT of yelling at the injustice of it all. Then there are the inappropriate shots, you know, aimed at areas deamed to be off limits. Top that off with nerf ammo in every single room of the house; if you have a nerf gun in your house, you totally know what I’m talking about. He also got me a packett of health products labelled “tired old ass”. The sad thing I wasn’t even offended. Cause it IS tired! This same brother got my son an Ant Farm for his birthday…. I’ve been thinking about possible gifts for his kids next year like a Chemistry Set, or a full set of drums, or maybe a real bow and arrow….

The kids also got this new game called Viva Pinata. Ever heard of that? Its a game for the 360 xbox. Its a great game because there are no guns, first person shooters, etc. There is a garden you have to cultivate in order to attract new and exotic animals. Then when you are fortunate to attract some worms or doenuts or cinamonkey or sparrowmint or lickatoad you can romance them. Yes, that’s right -romance them. Then, if done correctly, they will do a Romance Dance, which if done correctly will result in an egg. Where do they come up with this stuff??

I’ve had some requests for darker colors and grunge so here is my first attempt, hope you like it.

And here’s another freebie add on! Enjoy!

And watch for my upcoming kit - Craisy Paisleys!

Apparently its that time of the year, all the germs coming home from school and landing at our house! Hopefully we are through the rest and that you have been luckier than we were.

But I’ve been busy busy working on new kits. The first was named by Helen at DigitalCandy, Autumn Florals. Thanks to all who made suggestions, it was not an easy decision!

Here’s a preview:

And here’s a little Freebie add-on! Enjoy and if you like it, leave me a little love (or any suggstions)!

Sorry, if you are getting sick of this red kit, but I was trying out some new ribbon “actions” and this one was just convenient. Please note, the pearls in the back are not an element but part of the page below. Kinda like a quick page, but simplified. Did that make any sense? LOL, plus the ribbons are not meant to be enlarged a great deal, so if you are printing them, be careful at how big you make them. As always, thanks for visiting and enjoy!! (Just click on the preview).

Oh! yeah, I almost forgot, and keep watching Digital Candy for my third freebie!

Yippee!! Yippee!! Yippee!! Happy dance, happy dance happy dance!!

Ahem, give me a minute to catch my breath!
Kids are back in school and even though I love them dearly, three months is just too much “together time”. By the last few weeks it was just McWhiny Whinesters around here and don’t even get me started on my kids!!

I have severely neglected my poor lonely blog, in fact it was so bad, my good friend Rachel even came up with an entry for me:

“Geez, so this blog thing is getting really annoying. The guilt just keeps getting to me, I know each day I need to update and then next thing I know it’s been almost 2 months and my lazy ass hasn’t done one damn blog. So I apologize for that. But I can’t promise that anything will be any different in the future. I have four kids, you know, five some days.”

I thought it was pretty good! But to make up for my complete lack of attention the last, what, 2 months? I’m going to give away some freebies! First one today, and then another tomorrow and another on my favorite website; Digital Candy of course!!

Here is a preview of a kit I’m working on now;

I can’t come up with a good name though. I was hoping one of you might be able to help me. If you click on the image, it will take you to a thread on DC that you can leave your suggestion. If I use your suggestion, I will give it to you for FREE!!

Okay, here’s the freebie, just click on it to download, and as always, show me if you use it in a layout! I LOVE to see them!!

If you LOVE it (heck, even if you don’t, just humor me, I’m giving you free stuff!!!), you can check out my other products for sale here! I have posted some new sets, so check them out!

Have a great weekend! And be sure to check back for the second freebie!

I’m a designer, actually selling my designs, well, they are for sale - hopefully they are selling - lol! I have 3 new sets, with papers and elements sold seperately. AND I have a freebie at Digital Candy with samples of these sets!!

This is my Sweet set, it compliments my Sour set. Each set is just LOADED with papers!

This is my Sisters Set, I made this set for a bunch of pages I made for my two girls. I have always been a fan of pink and green, so this was really fun kit!

This is the Sour kit that goes with the Sweet kit. Again, a TON of papers loaded into the papers set. Two really versatile kits that will work on just about any page!

To celebrate I’m giving away some FREE CANDY at my store, Digital Candy. Just click the preview. . . . . then go to the gallery and look under FREE CANDY!

Oh! And be sure to sign up for DigitalCandy’s newsletter and you will be getting a big old grab bag!!
