Hey all! Quick announcement for the QPE at SM:


Here is ScrapMuss's kit...image is link. How pretty is that!

Speed Scrappin' Saturday night!

Heath and I worked hard on the house today...in fact, he totally blew out his back. Poor guy. Hopefully the Advil and hot bath made it a little better! We are getting closer and closer, but still have far to go. My living room is almost there, but I totally had to start a list of "Furniture we need to buy." My LR is HUGE...and we only have a couch, trunk, rug, tv, and tv table. I need a lot more, and it will come, but it might take a long while! LOL!
Plus we worked on the office and our bed/bath. Most importantly, Heath got the cable run from the attic into our room. The cable guy couldn't run the wire down the wall b/c of liability. well, i have one talented hubby, who had done this bunches of times...and couldn't successfully do it this time! LOL! But, he did somehow manage to find a way to get cable. We watch tv each night as we go to sleep and it has been super hard not to have tv in our room. I mean, we are talking nearly 13 years of doing that!
What else? Oh, got a lot of pictures hung too. That makes all the difference in the world! So, as he rested his back tonight, I decided to speed scrap with Erica...the Queen of Scrap at SM! It was her first, and she did a fantastic job with her instructions. And, remember yesterday when I said I was dying to get some of the new releases? Well, I did it! This evening in preparation for the SS, i got WM[squared]'s newest kit: Beach Bum...I mean look at this...isn't it to die for!!!

So, I just had to use it tonight. And look at what I came up with. Love it!


Well, thanks for reading my little blog. I hope all of you have a great Sunday! I need to take M to the park tomorrow....I promised! Good night!

Christmas in July?

Hey all! Just here to announce a sale at SM!


This is perfect if you are like me and have SO many Christmas pictures to scrap...this gives you a little motivation!

New Release Friday

I just got the email in my inbox from Scrapmatters showing all the new releases today. And, can I just say OMGosh!!! There is some fantastic stuff. It's taking some will power to post here before I go shopping! I think the designers at SM rock!!!
Speaking of new releases. I have one that was in the Grab Bag a few weeks ago coming out! "Attached at the Hip" is the solution to any attachment need! Need to staple, sew or clip something on your layout? This is the element pack for you!!!


And, how about some layouts this week from the Haynay Hunnies to show these off!??! (using an assortment of my kits too!)

And, I've been busy designing, I truly forgot to finish a page, but the SS from yesterday used Attached at the Hip (the stitches). Here it is again.

Hope you enjoy! And, if you didn't get Attached at the Hip in the Grab Bag, now is a good time to get it! (Don't forget about the HUGE template pack from SM if you spend $20! It is a steal!)

An update...good news

A few weeks ago, I wrote about my father-in-law's Dodge dealership being taken away. You can read about it here. And, I wanted to update everyone on this b/c today we got some exciting news! HR 2743 is a bill in the House to give back the Chrysler dealerships to the dealers who rightfully own the franchises. Well, today the bill made it out of committee!!! It's going to the House floor!

My father in law, Sam is going to DC on Monday! We would be more than appreciative for anyone and everyone to contact their State Representative in favor of this bill. Essentially when Chrysler took away all of these dealerships, they broke franchise laws in every single state. If our gov't says it's okay to do this...then who else's businesses can be taken away? Please tell them you are in favor of HR 2743. You can click here, https://writerep.house.gov/writerep/welcome.shtml to find the information about how to contact your Representative.

Thanks in advance for anyone who does this!

I love a Speed Scrap

So, I made it to the SS this morning. and let me just say...Christy, if you are reading this...i LOVED the instructions. And, Cyndi, if you are reading this, that template ROCKED! Seriously, so awesome! So, here was what I made, and I really love it!

And, if you like those polka dot papers...which i totally do, go grab them! They are actually designed by one my former Hunnies, Sarah Bennett. Go here to grab them in this fabulous bundle! They are on sale for $2.50!!! What a deal! I actually had to double take when I saw that fabulous price! So, here is where you can grab them!


And, I am a loser...but, at least I have the moving excuse! We have an awesome special at SM, if you Spend $20, in one order, and receive the fantastic Mega Template Set for free. It will automatically be added to your cart once your cart subtotals $20. Here is the preview...and, the one I used today, is in that pack! What a deal! So, go grab something out of the store...something of mine of course, just joking! LOL! No seriously, this is a great bonus! And, Friday...there are some seriously awesome kits coming out from the designers!!! It will be a perfect opportunity to spend $20 and get the templates!
