Hey, hey, hey....it's Friday and it's a Freebie!

Yay, Friday!! Love Friday evenings....dinner pick up, chores put on hold, just chillin' :) One more week and a 2 week vacation for Christmas!! Can't wait! Of course, if I had my shopping and wrapping and all done I would probably be even more excited!! LOL I wanted to pop in this evening and share Kristine's Friday Freebie!! It's fabulous!!


All you gotta do is head over to her blog HERE and grab it up! Make sure you leave her a kind word as well...and visit often! She is a hoot...along with being a super designer and awesome lady!!
I'm going to try to get back this weekend and update some more....hope everyone has a great weekend!!

Woot! I'm back, believe it or not!

Yep, I made it!! I just really wanted to share this fabulous new release from Flutter Expressions!! It's called Thankful Blessings and it's available today at Elemental Scraps, tomorrow at Sunshine Studio Scraps, and Wednesday at Enchanted Studio Scraps! Gorgeous!!!


Isn't it fabulous! I can't wait to play some more :) I hope everyone is having a fabulous Monday!!

I'm gonna do better! maybe....

I really do have good intentions! LOL I don't know what happens to the time in the day....just life I supposed. But I really do hope to do better with my blogging and try to get something up 3 or 4 times a week! At least that is my goal.
So I guess everyone is getting ready for Christmas? I'm not even close! I did get the outside decorations up before Thanksgiving...mean feat for me!! We went to Indiana for the holiday and the weather was so nice the weekend before, I figured I would take advantage of it :) I did the inside decorations today!! We got our first real snow of the season overnight and into today...it totalled about 6 inches...yuck! I seriously hate it! Honestly, I have seen snow for all of my 44 years....I could spend a few without it!!! I was just glad I didn't have to get out in it! I did a little online shopping...my favorite...this morning and got the house cleaned. I'm hoping to spend some time tomorrow baking and scrapping. My intention is to make 4 loaves of friendship bread while a roast cooks in the crock pot :) Counting the days until Christmas vacation!! 2 more weeks..yay! Aaron comes home on the 18th and is here until Jan 2. I know he is looking forward to it....he actually wishes he were here in the snow.

I wanted to share a few of the new things my fabulous designers have been putting out lately....

ScrapShana has this great new Christmas kit out at Digiscrapaganza! Such a great group ladies there...come on over and check it out!




A+ Designs also has a beautiful new Christmas kit just out at Enchanted Studio Scraps. It's called Christum....her 3 year old's term for Christmas...too cute!




Another great Christmas kit by Kristine called Festive and it's available in her wenchdgrafix.com store...but if you head over to her blog HERE you might just find a surprise *hint hint*



And now a sneak peek at what's coming this week from Flutter Expressions...it's gorgeous and I'll post my layout later :)

I hope everyone is well and happy! I'll be blog hopping very soon!!

"Along the Way"

Wow have I ever been a bad blogger! Just seems like everything is going in high gear right now and I know it's going to get crazier as the holidays get closer! UGH I am so not ready!!
But that's besides the point! I had to stop in and share information about a fantastic online class being taught by Jenn aka Dancing Princess Designs! It starts Monday November 23rd and it's called "Along the Way: Documenting the Milestones." Here's the description from Jenn and Scrapbook Dimensions Magazine:
"In this class, not only will you create an album, but you'll also learn many design concepts and digital and hybrid techniques along the way. My goal is to create an environment where we can learn from each other, so participation in our class forum is encouraged!.."
Jenn is fabulous and I am sure this class is going to be as well!! So if you want to check it out and sign up, go here: http://scrapbookdimensions.com/main/index.php?option=com_content&view=category&layout=blog&id=958&Itemid=404

OMGOSH

Omgosh, has it really been that long since I was here last!! Wow. Well, all I can say is October was one whirlwind of a month!! We spent a couple of days in SC watching DS #1 graduating from Basic Training...proud mama :) He then flew off to Texas to finish his training and we headed to the beach to spend a couple of days in the sun...that was nice :) All except the part where I got sick right before we left for the graduation and stayed sick for 2 weeks!! UGH!! I didn't even open photoshop or even get on the computer...all I could do after work was lay on the couch and be miserable LOL. Good news is that no one else caught it and *knock wood* we are all healthy here...unlike so many right now! Soooo I spent the next week or so trying to get caught up on all that I was behind on for the wonderful ladies I CT for....they are awesome :) I am going to try to be more regular with this blog thing....I'm working on a schedule for myself so I don't feel so all over the place all the time!! I don't think I am going to spend a bunch of time today posting all my layouts...I think I will start fresh from here. But I will fill you in on some great stuff that is going on around digi-world!!

First, if you love challenges make sure to head over to Digital Scrap Garden! They have sooo many wonderful challenges and everyone there is so awesome!!

Woot...Look at me back again!

Haha Saturday night and here I am again :) Still pouring rain and I am babysitting my leaking laundry room ceiling. UGH This house. I have lived here for going on 19 years and it seems like one problem after another...get one thing fixed, something else breaks. Ahhhh the joys of home ownership! And DH just doesn't get why I would love to move in to a townhouse or condo where someone would take care of all that maintenance crap for me hahaha. Haven't done much but clean house and catch up on laundry today....and went to my fav little Italian restaurant for supper ....Yum Pasta Carbonara!! :)
So the real reason I am here is to show you a super new kit from Dancing Princess Designs at Go Digital Scrapbooking.... It's called Angels Among Us and it is sooo gorgeous!!

Here are a couple of layouts I did with it :)


Hope everyone is having a fantastic weekend!!!
