Monday Monday…

First, I want to say that I hope everyone had a wonderful Mothers Day! Mine was very nice.
(very hard, but nice.) Everyone went out to breakfast (I got flowers and chocolate, who doesn’t love that), then we hung around my MIL’s pool. After, I went home and took a nap. (I know, rough day!! Lol…) I felt guilty not getting any work done, housework or on the computer, but I will tell you, taking a day and just relaxing does wonders for you! Now, lets see if I can get away with this again on my birthday…

Can I say that I really hate Mondays! Having to get up and go back to work just @#$%’s. But I really shouldn’t complain too much, because I am one of the lucky ones to still have my job. The company I work for had 238 employees a year ago in our corporate office. Currently we have 151 here. Most of the rest were let go. The few that left on their own were not replaced. At least not here. Unfortunately, the company I work for has decided that it would be better to let go people here, and hire people in another country to do the work for less money. I don’t believe that is right! But with the economy so bad, I can’t get another job anywhere else, so I am stuck. But today is not the day to get on my soap box!! It is Monday, and I just want to get through the day with my sanity! Hope you have a great one!

I'm Back...

Well, so much for me keeping this up to date! I was shamed into posting today by someone I haven’t even met. Her name, believe it or not, Lori Cameron, and it is her Blogiversary today. I think I am finally ready to come back and devote some time to this blog. What some of you might not know is that right after my last post back in January, my mother unexpectedly went into the hospital. Then it became doctors and tests and more tests and more problems. I ended up losing her, and it really hit me hard. She was never married and I was an only child. So I am sure you can image.

So it is time for some major spring cleaning. Both in my mind and my blog. I am working on a really cute kit right now, called Dragonfly Dreams. The paper pack is up in my store now, and I should have the rest of the kit in by the end of the weekend. This mothers day is going to be very hard, even though I have three absolutely wonderful boys!! Maybe I will be able to hide away at my computer and finish it up. Wanna take a peek at the paper pack? Here it is…

So here I am again, on May 8th, making a resolution to be a better blogger. And I will be, as long as my world doesn't come crashing down on me again! Wish me luck...

ADSR4 & New Releases

I don’t know what I was thinking, but I joined with KathyScraps from Digi Scrap Station, and we entered the Amazing Digi Scrap Race 4. (Like I don’t have enough to do) But I am really looking forward to sitting down to scrap again. And I always seem to do my best work for contests. The first assignment has been posted, and as soon as I get my layout done, I will post here along with my partners.

I have a surprise for February, but I can’t tell you what it is yet. You will just have to keep watch for more clues… I can tell you that I am working on a bunch of new things! I can’t wait!

If you didn’t get a chance to get the Santa’s Digi Sack over at Designs in Digital before Christmas, I have released my It’s A Party Mini Kit, and the matching alpha in my store. The alpha comes in the mini kit, or you can just get the alpha alone. You can just click on the pictures to be brought to the store.

I hope you have a great Monday!! And I will be talking with you soon!

Happy New Year!!

I want to wish everyone a very happy New Year!! I have lots of goals this year, lets see how well I can do on them. If you haven't guessed, one of them is to be a better blogger. Not just a reader, but a writer also. Sometimes I feel like my life is spinning out of control, so I have decided to actually do some things for myself in 2009. There are plenty of things that happen that you have no control over, and life is always throwing curve balls, but I am tired of feeling like I have no say in what happens in my life. I need to take care of myself, and not just everyone else. Which is very hard to do. If anyone has any suggestions, I would love to hear them!

I would love to be able to post a great layout about our wonderful New Years Eve party, but I didn't even pick up my camera all night. We did have a wonderful party, I just don't have any pictures... but I think my MIL does, so I will have to go raid her memory card.

I want to leave you with a gift, it is a coupon for my store at Designs in Digital.

New Family Addition

Yep, it happened! We have a new family addition! The cutest little boy you will ever see! And he is so tiny... and furry! Yes, he is a new 8 week old kitten! and he has won all our hearts!

Race to help Breast Cancer

I wanted to let you know of a little race the designers here at Designs In Digital are having for the month of October, and everyone wins!! We divided everyone up into 2 teams, and each team created a kit for breast cancer awareness. Starting Wednesday, both kits will be available in the store. $5 for one or both for $8. (and to let you in on a little secret, if you purchase both kits, there may be a little surprise!!) The best part of this whole thing, is 100% of the proceeds will go to the Susan G Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. So we all win!!
I am part of the Cancer Commandos team! And I can tell you, our kit rocks!! The other team is Racing for Pinks. Here are copies of our teaser ads.

And while you are here, don’t forget to stop back a post and pick up my fall freebie while it is still available. You can get it here: Falling For You QP Freebie But only until the new releases come out this week.

New Freebie

I know it has been a little while since I have updated my blog, but with the start of school, and the beautiful weather we have been having, I have just been too busy! But I wanted you to know I haven't forgotten about you. I was luck enough to be able to provide the newsletter freebie for Designs In Digital, so I thought I would post it here on my blog also, for anyone who isn't a newsletter subscriber! It is perfect for fall, I hope you like it! The kit used to make these quick pages is available in the store, and is on sale until Saturday! Here is the kit, just click on the photo:

And since it is late, and I need to get to bed so I can get up for work in the morning... here is the freebie, you can download it here: Falling For You Quick Pages

Have a wonderful Wednesday!!
