I have my camera ready to take pictures of the snow! I love SNOW!! Finally we are going to get some!!!!! I am excited!!!

{So Excited}

I have some pretty awesome news! I am going to be the featured Designer at Oscraps for the month of December! I am so excited! Be sure to come and check out my challenges starting December 5th! www.oscraps.com

I am also excited that we may be getting some snow soon! I love to watch it snow and I am so psyched. This will be our first snow! We've already been to the grocery store and did some stocking up just in case it does get really bad. The weatherman says that it will probably ice first and then snow.

Today is our best friends 74th Birthday! Happy Birthday Ed! We love you!!!

It's official - we have a Cheery-O team at Oscraps. Be sure to stop by and say hello to them. They are really enthusiastic and are great people to work with. I am so lucky to be a part of a wonderful group at Oscraps. This is the place I call home in the Digi community. Vicki Stegall is the best!!!!

I've done a lot of designing, so much so that I haven't even posted all the previews here on my blog! I know bad blogger!

Here's what's been added to the store recently. You can always go pick up any of my kits here

I've also finished a couple of layouts that I wanted to share with you.
The first one is using Jen Wilson's Digi Designs. I love her stuff!

With this layout I used Vicki Stegalls new kit called A Winter Wonderland.

It's getting late so will call it a night!

{Happy Thanksgiving}

Just wanted to pop in to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving!

Friday-Sunday I am having a 50% off sale at Oscraps! Come on over and get some of my goodies!!!!

{Give Thanks}

*************************************************************************************
Woke up this morning and it looked like it had snowed at first glance. But it was only a very hard frost. The ground is so beautiful with its blanket of frost. Love it!

I spent the day with my family yesterday! We actually got some things accomplished! We put up our Christmas Tree, listened to Christmas music, watched a Christmas show (Home Alone), organized the garage and moved furniture! I had a hard time getting comfortable enough to get some sleep though because my back hurt so bad. Tried to do too much!!

************************************************************************************
I have a new kit in the store!

You can purchase it at Oscraps!

A busy week ahead of me! Thursday is Thanksgiving and we have loads of errands and cooking and preparing to do! Will be checking in off and on all week!

Have a great Monday!!!

{Got My Hopes Up For Nothing}

Oh the weather man last night predicted that we were going to get some snow...up to 4 inches of it!
Guess what....nothing, nada, zilch....no!!! I can't wait for it to snow...I love it, especially when we don't have to get out in it. We were so hoping for a snow day for our DD. Oh well, maybe next week. The last two years we have had snow either right before Thanksgiving or on Thanksgiving. I love to watch the flakes come down out of the sky, especially when it's heavy snow!!! Oh I guess I can wait a little longer. Been threatening to go to Colorado!

Wanted to share with you this ad from Maya! She's having a huge 12 hour sale!

I can't wait. I've had some goodies over at Scrapbookgraphics in my wish list. Now I can go get them!!!

I uploaded a new kit into Oscraps today! It's perfect for the Holiday Season!

You can purchase them separately or as a kit! You can get them here

Have you checked out the Oscraps Blog?

Well I really must get back to work. I still have so many things that I need to get finished before this day is over!
Toodles!

{Wow Two Days In A Row}

Well I am trying to update more often. Sometimes there just doesn't seem to be enough hours in the day. (I need another 12 in mine!)
I spent most of the day trying to learn my Mac. DH bought me one and it's a beauty. But I have never used one before. I have always used windows. This is quite an adjustment, so bare with me. I am trying to transfer my kits that I was working on over to it. Then I had to zip them and send them to yousendit. Then I got onto my Windows PC and downloaded the file and unzipped it. I just wanted to make sure that everything would transfer properly. So far so good. I also had to download transmit so that I could send my files to the store via FTP. Wow, there's so much that has to be done just to send my kits. No matter, I love my new computer and will just take my time to make sure that everything is where it needs to be and operating like its suppose to. This will be a good time to organize my files and burn CD's on items that I probably won't use right now, or have already used them. So if you don't hear from me for a couple of days on the forums don't be alarmed. Just know that I am up to my elbows in computers! :-)
It's really cold here. I just wish that it would snow. It would make the cold not so bad. kwim!
I have about 6 months of layouts that I need to start printing out for DD scrapbook. I started on them tonight and have quite a few done. Most are burnt onto discs and now I have to go through them to find the ones that I haven't done. I am so unorganized!
And no, I still don't have everything unpacked from our move. What is up with me. No sleep, entirely too much work and still can't seem to get the rest of my unpacking done. Like I said, I need more time in the day!
I've rattled enough for now, need to get back to work, at least for a little while. It is 1:23 a.m. here. See, no sleep! Have a great Sunday!

{Busy Week}

Just wanted everyone to know that I haven't forgotten you! I've been so darn busy that I haven't even had time to update my blog. What a slacker! I should really make it a priority to update daily. Will try harder in the future.
I am working on two kits that hopefully will be available next week. They are yummy, and I am so excited. No sneak peeks yet! :-)
It was 70 degrees yesterday, and today the temperature dropped hard. It's suppose to be in the 20's all weekend. It even thunderstormed here this afternoon. Less than two weeks before Thanksgiving and I am wanting SNOW! It would be so nice to have snow on the ground for Thanksgiving. It would seem more like the season is really here. I love when there is snow on the ground at Christmas too, or at least snowing on Christmas.
I have to finish unpacking and organizing this next week. I have to put up my Christmas tree before Thanksgiving....(we always do)! My Mom usually comes to my house for Thanksgiving and I like for her to experience our Holiday with the tree. We always go to her house for Christmas, so I get to enjoy her decorations and her tree. So, I really have a lot to do next week too. This month snuck up on me fast. Can you believe that there is only 44 days until Christmas! Yikes!!! I haven't even started Christmas shopping yet!
I want to shout out a big Happy Birthday to a dear special little boy who turns one years old this Sunday! Happy Birthday Dominic!!!! May you always have that beautiful big smile on your face! You are adorable!!! You can see what I mean here

Well that's all that I have for today! Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!!!
Toodles!

{New Kit - Remnants}

A few of my Creative Team members wanted me to do a more masculine type of kit so that they can scrap their photos of their husbands, and children. I think that they were testing me ! LOL!!! Ha ha. It was a challenge since it's kind of outside my box. But I rose to the occassion and think that it looks pretty damn good. Let me brag ok! I really LOVE this kit...alot! Here's the previews: You can find this kit and all of my other kits at Oscraps!

Don't you just love it?! I do!!!

Ok I also have to share with you a layout that I did of my DD.
I have to say that this is my ALL TIME favorite layout that I have
done. I used Holly McCaigs and Kristy Ann's October Digital Muse Kit!
I absolutely LOVE the kit and LOVE my layout using the kit! Hey it
doesn't hurt that I have a pretty darn cute DD too!

Ok now, I am going to go spend some time with my family!
Have a roast in the oven and we are going to have a
wonderful supper and some relaxation time! Have a great Sunday!

Toodles!!
