Scrap News

so since I am such a slacker, and haven't really posted in ages, I figure it's time to do some scrap updates.

I have been accepted on a few more Creative Teams ... so now I create for Kristin Cronin-Barrow, Bree Clarkson, Christy Lyle, Penny Springmann, Julie Billingsley, Eva Kipler, Sir Scrapalot (Aaron Morris), Nikki Epperson, Susan Robinson, Amanda Heimann, and I have a guest spot with Jennifer Fox for the month of October.

So as you can guess ... that means A TON of new LOs completed since my last scrap post in June. heheheee I'm not going to post them all, you can go to my gallery at Sweet Shoppe Designs or My Scrapbook Art to see them yourself. But I will post a few to share, a few of my favorites in the past few months.

new look

to the blog ... whatcha think?
Fall is here, with a blast of icy cold wind and changing leaves galore!

ignore the mess

I am trying to do some updating, but I keep forgetting to bring stuff back and forth with me to work. I am going to update the whole look and feel of my blog, so please be patient. I am such a slacker it's not even funny. hehehe Ok, so maybe it is.

I am beyond excited for this!! This is big!

I haven't updated to say it officially ... I am part of the Creative Team for Sir Scrapalot, also known as Aaron Morris!! And he will be part of the Polka Dot Plum designers!!
His team has been able to play with his designs for a few months now, and let me just tell you, they are FABULOUS!!! We haven't been able to post them for everyone to see, until the store is up, but believe me, the wait will well be worth it!

So mark the date on your calendar, send a reminder ... September 2nd!!

changes

have happened in our house in such a short time since my last post. Cody is no longer living with us here, he has moved to his father's place in Edmonton. After over 2 years of no contact, we finally heard from him. We needed the break from Cody, his attitude had gotten to the point I couldn't deal with it anymore, never mind the lying and the stealing. So I told his father that he needed to come get Cody soon ... and he was here the next day to pick him up. Cody will be finishing out his school year (basically just exams now) at a new school. Hopefully this is what he needs to get his act together. The move is an indefinite one, meaning he could just be there for the summer, or a semester of school, or the entire school year, or even longer. Whatever works best.

Anyways ....

We are gearing up to head to my big brother's wedding in three weeks. We will be camping for the week in the area with the kids, our only real vacation this year. I love Nelson so much, it is a great place to visit and so much to do there! Plus all my family will be there, which will be nice (well, besides Cody, he really needs the time with his father). Although I really, really, really want to go back to Manitoba this year, I had so much fun last summer!

But it doesn't look like it will happen this year. Work has been tight for Des this year, with very few overtime days, and no bonuses so far this year (although we are hoping that either next weeks pay, or the one after that, will have some sort of a production bonus on it!). And next summer doesn't look too promising, unless we can save up some money to do it then, since Des' sister is getting married next summer.

FOBTY

I am gonna squeeze two FOBTY posts into one ... am I allowed to do that? hehee I am such a blog slacker.

June 4th -my favorite animal at the zoo? well, I have only ever been to the zoo (wildlife park) where we used to live, but my favorite thing to see there was the giraffes. I don't know why, I find them fascinating. Maybe cause I am so short. lol

June 11th -

You Are Sweet

You are easy going and pleasant. You are always happy and upbeat. No wonder you're so popular. There's nothing to dislike about you. You are both likable and lovable. In fact, some people feel very passionately about you. You are simply bliss inducing. You remind people to take time and enjoy life.

What Taste Are You?
