and it's already been almost 30 days since I have posted on the blog. Man I have to tell you, I really suck at this bloggin and really need to get better at it.

Have added some new designers to the Moo Two Store and you really need to come check out their work. Do you love Hybrids - Check out Robin's Printables - she has some really nice cards, gift purses, boxes and other things. and then there is Needful Things - she has some gorgeous digitally painted graphics, she hasn't gotten anything in the store yet but she will. And finally but not last is Color Palette Designs - want to talk about gorgeous PS Styles come check her out. She does beautiful styles for Photoshop.
Me I am working on a bingo prize then hopefully get a new kit out sometimes soon for you all.

I have found a new way to waste time on the Internet called Pinterest, this place is great. you get to pin things for the Internet to a virtual cork-board, check out I have found some of the greatest food blogs. Like we all need more recipes, but always looking for something different.

Morning all in Blog land

Just want to remind everyone about Moo Two's Christmas Express pulled out of the barn on Monday, with the first gift being hid in the store categories of Christmas or Winter. Going to be some really great hybrid projects you will collect this month.

My mother-in-law get some of the coolest emails and I wanted to share one with you all.
This place means a lot to me in my heart due to my husband being retired military.

Rest easy, sleep well my brothers.
Know the line has held, your job is done.
Rest easy, sleep well.
Others have taken up where you fell, the line has held.
Peace, peace, and farewell...

Readers may be interested to know that these wreaths -- some 5,000 -- are donated by the Worcester Wreath Co. of Harrington, Maine . The owner, Merrill Worcester, not only provides the wreaths, but covers the trucking expense as well. He's done this since 1992. A wonderful guy. Also, most years, groups of Maine school kids combine an educational trip to DC with this event to help out. Making this even more remarkable is the fact that Harrington is in one of the poorest parts of the state.
Please share this with everyone on your address list. You hear too much about the bad things people do. Everyone should hear about this.

and have you ever wondered what the 12 Days of Christmas meant or even had to do with Chrstimas

check this out

There is one Christmas Carol that has always baffled me. What in the world do leaping lords, French hens, swimming swans, and especially the partridge who won't come out of the pear tree have to do with Christmas?
This week, I found out.
From 1558 until 1829, Roman Catholics in England were not permitted to practice their faith openly. Someone during that era wrote this carol as a catechism song for young Catholics. It has two levels of meaning: the surface meaning plus a hidden meaning known only to members of their church. Each element in the carol has a code word for a religious reality which the children could remember. -The partridge in a pear tree was Jesus Christ.
-Two turtle doves were the Old and New Testaments.
-Three French hens stood for faith, hope and love.-
-The four calling birds were the four gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke & John.
-The five golden rings recalled the Torah or Law, the first five books of the Old Testament.
-The six geese a-laying stood for the six days of creation.
-Seven swans a-swimming represented the sevenfold gifts of the Holy Spirit--Prophesy, Serving, Teaching, Exhortation, Contribution, Leadership, and Mercy.
-The eight maids a-milking were the eight beatitudes.
-Nine ladies dancing were the nine fruits of the Holy Spirit--Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness, and Self Control.
-The ten lords a-leaping were the ten commandments.
-The eleven pipers piping stood for the eleven faithful disciples.
-The twelve drummers drumming symbolized the twelve points of belief in the Apostles' Creed.
So there is your history for today. This knowledge was shared with me and I found it interesting and enlightening and now I know how that strange song became a Christmas Carol...so pass it on if you wish.'
Merry Christmas Everyone

I have been a bit busy lately, lots of things have gone on since the 1st of Sept. This is my month in a nutshell. Stitchy Bear Stamps - where I sell paper packs, accidentally deleted a file on her ftp and lost her whole store. So I have to redo all my previews, zips and upload everything to the store again. She is now betting things back on track. Store is almost done but you can go check it out. She has redone it to be more customer friendly. There is Tuesday Thru Thursday Spree Sale. All Fantasy is 25% OFF come check it out.

Then there is my baby's birthday and the start of school.

You all know my favorite place to hang out is Moo Two Designs. Donna who owned Moo Two Designs has some health problems that have not let her run the store the way she wants too so she handed the store over to me. I am now the proud owner of Moo Two Designs. I am both honored and a bit weary LOL. I know the responsibilities of running a store and so hope I can do Donna proud.

My Memories Digital Scrapbooking Software

2011-08-17T10:02:00.007-04:00

I have had the opportunity this past week to play around with some digital scrapbooking software. I know I have used my programs in the past and have always been very disappointed with them. Cause either they were too complicated to use or I couldn't do or move things where I wanted them to. I just couldn't get the software to do what I wanted it to do. I know that is important to me, I have to be able to open the software and get right to work. Working on a layout with new software is how I learn things and when I want more complicated things that is when I go to the help or read me documents to see if I can do what I want to do. LOL
I know with designing kits I most use Micro Soft Digital Imaging (which isn't available anymore, we are talking old school program here LOL) and I have gotten better with Photoshop. But for doing a scrapbook page I want sometime simple to use to create that layout, but I also want to be able to bring in my creations into that layout too.
Well guess what, this software lets you do that. I was able to create this layout in their software in minutes.

I didn't add many embellishments cause I don't have them all finished yet, but the paper is my design. The doodle is by My Memories which is included with the software, the flowers are also included with the software. It comes with quite a bit of things to work with. Templates too. I really loved how I could very easily make rounded text. It was a piece of cake, let me tell you I can be very software challenged. LOL but with this it was so easy.
The one thing that impressed me the most with this software was that you could import PSD (photoshop files) and PDFs (adobe files) into the software and it reads them so that you can work with them, way too freakin cool if you ask me cause not many problems that I know of do that. I really loved using the software. I think you would too. If your new to digital scrapbooking, and don't have a user friendly program, you have got to get this one and if you are a seasoned digital scrapbooking you would love this software too.

And I have the opportunity to give away one program to one of my followers, so this is what you have to do. Go to My Memories Gallery - just click on the words. Pick your favorite layout, post in my comments your choice with the layout of your choice,. I will put everyone in a drawing to win a free copy of this software. Good Luck

SunShine and Flowers

2011-07-26T07:58:00.003-04:00

What a Beautiful Day

2011-06-20T09:59:00.002-04:00

My nephew Charles (Chas) wedding day finally arrived Saturday. It was such a beautiful day for the them. It was to hot or too cold. The day was just gorgeous. They did such a good job getting the church beautiful for them. They made such a gorgeous couple. Here is a picture of the happy couple who as we speak are lounging around on the beaches of Jamaica.

I also wanted to show you the favor that I did for the wedding. Laura Bea, Chas and his brother Anthony helped me with a few of them. We made 199 of these little bags

Inside each bag were 4 hugs and 4 kisses

on the bottom of 2 of the hugs and 2 of the kisses was a personalized sticker

They had such a good time and made such a beautiful couple. I am so happy for both of them and love them dearly.

Here it is, my newest kit.

New Kit, New Happenings

2011-06-17T10:03:00.001-04:00

I have a new kit I have been working on for some time. I have no idea how some people can get 2, 3, or 4 new kits out a month, I am lucky I can get one kit out a month LOL. Drives me crazy.

But first some new things in the stores I am in.
Stitchy Bear Stamps has a brand new collaboration out for June called Picnic/4th of July. Some really awesome stamps and papers in there. Just think of all the things you could create with it.

Moo Two Designs also has a brand new Collaboration kit out called Chillin'. It's for all those teen photos you have, this has some awesome pieces to it.

My newest kit isn't in the store yet, it should be either today or tomorrow. Most of the flowers in this kit, some of the elements were all painted by me digitally.

Here is a preview of it. Coming soon, that is the one thing I need to finish OMG I forgot. I will post it later today. Bye all for now

Hello Everyone

2011-06-12T13:53:00.015-04:00

It has been a while since I posted last. Things have been busy and stressful the last few weeks. First the laptop went to the repair shop with a problem with Window's 7 and came back clean as a whistle. They had to do a whole clean out, right back to factory settings. Which meant I lost everything on the laptop. But I did have almost all of it backed up online, except for a few files cause one of the problems that occurred was Windows was preventing my online back to back up. But thankfully I only lost a few files. But I have been really busy trying to my EDR to match what is backed up online. I would have never realized how long it takes to download what has been stored online. I was like OMG, so I am doing a little at a time.
But next step is to clean out the EHD of files I don't want to make room for the files that are online that I do want.
Today I decided thou I was going to work on my blog and get it looking the way I want it to. It's OK, no sure if I like the background or not but we will see how it goes.

Then it was lunch time, had a wonderful Chicken BBQ, from Cody Fire Department, they have the best chicken bbq in town. If you live in Fulton, NY you need to go get bbq today.

I have been working on things, I have been busily working on my nephews wedding. Save the dates, Invitations, favors and now the programs from the wedding. Then on Friday making meatballs. Saturday the wedding is over with. I know they can't wait.
here is a look at the save the date and invitations I did.
Can't show you save the dates till I scan one, that is one of the folders I lost and wasn't backed up online either. But here is the invitation, RSVP card and reception card.

Funny Story about Kimberly

2011-03-05T10:34:00.000-05:00

I have a really cute story to share with you all about my daughter, Kimberly. Kimberly's bottom teeth have been loose for a long time and she just doesn't play with them enough to get them to fall out. Her permanent teeth have grown in behind her baby teeth on the bottom. In Feb she was out sledding in our back yard with her cousin, Brasen. Brasen decided to run in front of her while she was sledding down the hill and she crashed into him, knocking her front tooth out of her mouth. It was just the tiny bit loose. It kind of traumatized the poor kid, to have blood dripping from her mouth, her hand was all bloody. Poor Kid. Now there is no hope to get her to get those bottom teeth out. First tooth gone and we told her we would write to the tooth fairy to let her know that her tooth was lost in the snow. She was so worried that the the tooth fairy wouldn't be able to find her tooth.

A couple weeks ago, Kimberly told me that she was having problems seeing the blackboard at school and I had noticed that she was standing and watching TV in front of the TV. So we decided to take her and get her eyes checked, well she is nearsighted. Yesterday we went and picked her up from school to go get her first pair of glasses. She looks so cute in them.

We decided to take her to Apple Bee's for dinner, she has been doing really well at school. While there she went to the bathroom and came out saying, "Mommy I lost a tooth, and can't find it" Oh no not another one, she lost one of her bottom teeth in the bathroom, but I think she might have swallowed it and not realized it.

So she said to me, "Mommy can we write the tooth fairy another letter and let her know that I lost my tooth here in the bathroom, I said of course. Now again she is worried the tooth fairy won't find her tooth again.,
This morning she comes running up the stairs to show me she has lost another tooth. Her other front tooth fell out sometime during the night and she can't find it. She said to me "Mommy, do you think I will ever have a tooth to put under my pillow? "I am making a lot of work for the tooth fairy." poor kid. And I do think she has swallowed this one too, cause it wasn't in the couch or on the floor. My darling little girl.

Good Morning Everyone

2011-02-24T09:13:00.000-05:00

The Studio

2010-09-01T12:29:00.001-04:00

Today starts the Designer Contest over at The Studio. I have entered and the greatest news this year about the contest is they decided to give all the designer participating numbers so that people won't know who we are, isn't that great, I think so, so now you get judged on the quality of your work, not how popular you are in the digi world of scrapbooking. The other great part is if you join their gallery, there are like almost 100 designers entered into this contest and you get to download a bunch of free kits. But please be kind and leave some words of LOVE to the ones you download. Simple THANK YOU means so much to us.

Morning

2010-08-21T10:50:00.000-04:00

I never know what to call the post. LOL
This week has been interesting to say the least. I entered a design contest at Faith Sisters as you all know, not many comments there on my kit but that is ok. No Biggie.

Now I entered the design contest at Digitals but not sure what will happen with that one cause I really don't like to enter these contests cause I want my work judged on quality and not how many people I can get to come and vote for me. So who knows.

Sad news thou, Kara Jones of K-Joi Studios, my home for the past couple years has decided to close her doors. I am sadden about this cause I really enjoyed working with her and my work there too. Boy thou did I get a good look at what it takes to run a digital scrapbooking store, making designers and customers happy. It takes a lot of work. I will miss you terrible Kara, but good luck and I hope your health improves greatly now with less stress.

I have found a couple of stores to move into LOL. As you all know I have moved over to Moo Two Designs, and you know they are having a Designer Contest too, you should come check it out cause this one isn't done by popularity.
Moo Two Designs

I have also moved into a store that is not only digital scrapbooking but they have a ton of digital stamps and OMG are some of the gorgeous, you should all come on over for a visit, this store is awesome. One Stitch at a time
I have a few things in both stores, I am working on a new kit, well not really new it was one that I had did for another store a long time ago that never go used, so I decided to update it and add some more things to it, now if I could come up with a name for it I would be happy LOL

Good Morning

2010-08-17T10:40:00.001-04:00

Well, I am slowly moving into the store over at Moo Two Designs, you should come on over for a visit in the forum, they have some great challenges going on over there right now with some nice prizes too.
I joined the Paint the Barn August Color challenge, where you make mini kits or do a layout using the color pallet provided. It was a lot of fun. And the best part about it, now you guys get to have the mini kit I made for free. Cool huh, come over and join for some more.

waiting on the link from 4 share, it's slow today, or my computer is slow one of the two LOL

My pet Peeve of the day

2010-08-09T10:19:00.000-04:00

First let me say that Faith Sisters Contest is going strong and some new kits have been added to the gallery you should go and check then out. Now for my pet peeve, which has to do with the contest anyways,

I don't usually do contests where you have to go out and beg people for votes and I won't do it. I believe my work should be judged on style and quality. But anyways why is it that people can take the time to register in a gallery, or even go visit a gallery, click on several different pictures of free kits to reach the download buttons to get those free kits but you can't leave a comment. WHY is that? This is one reason why I stopped doing freebies which really sucks for those few people that actually will say THANK YOU to someone for giving them something. OMG all you have to type is TY and your done a few seconds of your precious day to say thank you to someone for all the time and hard work they put into making these designs.

I know some of you who download freebies actually really appreciate all that work and time that goes into making them and to all of you I want to say THANK YOU

Good Evening everyone

2010-08-05T19:25:00.001-04:00

How is everyone's week going so far. I don't know about you all but here in NY it has been so darn hot and humid, I won't mind the heat but mix that with the humidity and it's like YUCK. I just want to melt away LOL. If only it was that easy to melt the extra fat away, oh boy I could get skinny fast LOL.

I have finish my entry into the Faith Sister's Scrapbooking contest and I really like what I did. It's a stretch for me to do a boy kit and that is what I did. I get designer block when it comes to the darker colors in the color wheel LOL, it's a very big challenge for me but I actually have a good time making this. But the other harder part was not putting flowers or bows in there cause I really wanted it for a teenage boy page. I think it's awesome but it's all up to you guys. If you want to go download it you can and leave me a comment would be great.
Here is the preview of the kit and just click on the preview and it will take you to Faith Sister's Gallery where you can download it, you will have to register but it only takes a few minutes. thank you all very much,

oh did I mention there will be lots of other free kits to download to,

She sent home a letter to Kimberly telling her what a pleasure it was to have her in her class. She also sent home a DVD with pictures of all the kids thur the year. She put the pictures to music, the first song is the new song by Mylie Cyrus - The Climb and the second song was My Wish by Rascal Flatts, talk about the water works flowing. I cried thur the whole thing. But what a nice memory she will have when she gets older. High School graduation and showing this to her. LOL

Autism Awareness

2009-04-30T08:58:00.005-04:00

I have a good friend that I work with over at K-Joi Studios whose son was just diagnosed with Aspergers, which is a form of Autism, she found this kit that the proceeded from the kit are going to Autism Speaks, two wonderful women (Jessica Sprague and Ali Edwards) are matching every sale of this kit with $2 for Autism Speaks. So, for every purchase Autism Speaks gets $12...and you only spend $8. Here is the link to the blog where you can read more about this.
http://www.songbirdavenue.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=13&products_id=33&zenid=e230d1156571dea3631d34860508d586
And then our very own Angel, from Designs by Angel also has a kit to bring awareness to Autism.

If your interested in Angel's kit, just click on the preview and it will take you to K-Joi Studios.

An Interesting Day

2009-04-09T08:51:00.008-04:00

I had such an interesting day on Monday. And yes this is the first chance I have had to write about it. I have done nothing but think about it all week.
I am on Facebook, yes I am . Thou I don't get on it much. But most of all of my husband's family is on facebook. One of his brothers Alan, and his family are missionaries in Russia. They are home right now for a year and his oldest girls are on Facebook, so it will be a great way to stay better in touch with them when they leave in Aug to go back to Russia. I had gotten a email that someone wanted to add me as a friend. You know how names look familiar but you just can't place that name. I sat there for the longest time just staring at the name, cause I know I knew it, I just couldn't remember from where. So I went to Facebook, click on his photo and don't you know, all those memories came flooding back from my college days at CCBI, in Syracuse NY. It was one of my classmates from CCBI contacting me. It's been well over 20 years since we have spoken. It was just so amazing, I actually felt giddy again, haven't felt that way in a long long time. Bob, is his name, we called him little Bobby. He was such a sweet heart and the partying we use to do. We had some really good times together. It was so nice to hear from him after all these years. After Easter when I get a chance I want to find my yearbook from there and just go back thur some more great memories I had from College.

I have two new kits going in the stores. One is in the store now over at K-Joi Studios, hopefully I will have time tonight to get it in the store over at Michelle's Angels and Studio Style Designs, cause this morning I have kind of a busy morning. I am making my husband spaghetti and meatballs (but don't tell him OK) and then I have to get all the eggs stuffed for Easter Morning Egg hunt with our daughter. She starts Spring Break here tomorrow, Saturday we have a Easter party at church to go too, then 2 of my husbands nieces have birthdays this month, so we are getting together with his family Saturday night to celebrate those, plus his mom just had hip reconstruction surgery last Friday. Just busy busy weekend, so not sure what time Saturday night we will be home. So I am taking the kid upstairs to bed Saturday night and daddy is playing the Easter Bunny so I need to have it all done by then. OMG Things you have to do.

Here is my new kit Dino Land.
Then I have another new kit but it doesn't have a name, I just couldn't think of anything that sounded good, so I thought I would give you all the chance to name my new kit and if your name is chosen you get the kit for free.
BUT you need to go over to K-Joi Studios' message boards to leave your suggests. then all the suggestions that I get, I am going to make a poll of them and you guys get to choose the name. The name that is chosen will win the kit for free and all the names that didn't get chosen will be put into a hat and my daughter will pick out a name and that person will also win the kit. So you have two chances to win. I hope you all come over cause this kit is really awesome. It looks better than the previews, I hate the previews, everything has to be so small to fit everything in there. LOLSo if you want to come join the Name my Kit Challenge, click the preview and it will take you to the message boards, but you have to registered to post.

Just a little thank you for all your nice comments on the Easter Blog train and ADSD Blog train. I would love to see your layouts that you make from the kits that I do. If you have any that you would like me to post on my blog, pass them on to me. I would be more than happy to put them on the blog. BIG HUGS to everyone.

And one final note if I don't get a chance before Sunday, I want to wish everyone a very Happy Easter. Have fun with all your friends and family celebrating this Easter.

I have been so

2009-02-25T07:45:00.006-05:00

back about bloggin this month, it hasn't been funny. But let me tell you why.
First I am helping out administratively over at K-Joi Studios to get the store and boards organized which I have to say is a job on it's own. I don't know how you all run stores of your own, with so much that has to be done.
Then I am in a Design Group with Lisa and a few other gals that has been very helpful. Then I started in a new store Michelle's Angels so I need to get more things in the store. Then I have been working on a new kit and next month's color challenge for K-Joi Studios. And a Boy word book by Micha over at K-Joi Studios. Which I have to say was very fun to make. Plus fixing a couple of my other kits that I notice had a couple things wrong with them. Plus 3 mega collab kits for the stores I am in. K-Joi has some wonderful things planned for next week, so keep watching for news. Now Donna and Deanna (they are in the design group with me) both have been me awards which I am going to go pick up now. LOL
I am just so bad at this it's not funny. Here is the first award from Deanna of Flower Scraps.
The "rules" of this award are that I must:-
1. Put the logo on your blog or post. (Right click on the logo and save to your own computer.)
2. Nominate at least 10 blogs which show great attitude and/or gratitude!
3. Link to your nominees within your post.
4. Let them know that they have received this award by commenting on their blog.
5. Share the love and link to this post with the person from whom you received your award.
Now it's coming up with 10 people to award this great award too.
I guess the first has to be Lisa for having such a great group going on right now.
1. Lisa of Designs by Lisa Minor
2. Debbie of Beckmoore's Scrapalittle
3. Micha from Heckenzwerge Designs
4. April from April Dawn Creations
5. Robin from Robin - Gifts you can Feel Good About

The Second Award is from Donna from Tootlebugz and since you have to give the award to 10 and 7 people, I am slipping up the blogs between the two awards.

1. Liz from Lizard Dau Designs (you need to check out her blog AWESOME)
2. Katlen from KatLen Kreations
3. Lori of Lori Imel Designs (she has a very inspirational blog)
4. Penny at The Buzybee Behive
5. Mags at Mags Graphics she does an awesome job over at ADSD group.

There ya go, go visit their blogs cause they are all awesome designers.

But I do have something really cool to share with you all, I got this email from my mother-in-law and thought it was was really good info to share with you all, I loved it.

COFFEE FILTERS

Coffee filters ..who knew! And you can buy 1,000 at the Dollar Tree for almost nothing.

1. Cover bowls or dishes when cooking in the microwave.
Coffee filters make excellent covers.

2. Clean windows and mirrors. Coffee filters are lint-free so they'll leave windows sparkling.

3. Protect China. Separate your good dishes by putting a coffee filter between each dish.

4. Filter broken cork from wine. If you break the cork when opening a wine bottle, filter the wine through a coffee filter.

5. Protect a cast-iron skillet. Place a coffee filter in the skillet to absorb moisture and prevent rust.

6. Apply shoe polish. Ball up a lint-free coffee filter.

7. Recycle frying oil. After frying, strain oil through a sieve lined with a coffee filter.

8. Weigh chopped foods. Place chopped ingredients in a coffee filter on a kitchen scale.

9. Hold tacos. Coffee filters make convenient wrappers for messy foods.

10. Stop the soil from leaking out of a plant pot. Line a plant pot with a coffee filter to prevent
the soil from going through the drainage holes.

11. Prevent a Popsicle from dripping. Poke one or two holes as needed in a coffee filter.

12. Do you think we used expensive strips to wax eyebrows? Use strips of coffee filters.

13. Put a few in a plate and put your fried bacon, French fries, chicken fingers, etc on them.
Soaks out all the grease.

14. Keep in the bathroom. They make great "razor nick fixers."

OH YEAH THEY ARE GREAT TO USE IN YOUR COFFEE MAKERS

Hello Happy Happy New Year Everyone

2009-01-12T08:15:00.003-05:00

I know it's been a few weeks since I posted. So much has been going on the last few weeks.
It all started the week after my birthday. The computer came down with several viruses and worms. It was a horrible mess. I spend a week just trying to get the computer to run. I had Christmas presents to finish, cards to make and well lets just say I went out and bought my Christmas cards and I haven't done that in about 10 years. It's still now running completely right but it's a whole lot better than it was. This week I am spending the time to really, I mean really clean out this computer and get it back running smoothly again. Gee, I have too I can't afford a new one, but I would love a new one LOL.
If you ever get into a mess with your computer, I recommend SpyHunter. You have to pay for the program but it's well worth what you pay for it. Getting technical support for anything these days is like pulling teeth. I am suppose to have life time technical support on my computer, I paid for it, but when you call them, we don't cover that. Then what do you cover, and your lifetime technical support is bull crap. I had 2 really bad Trojans that would not leave my computer. LOL I mean no matter what I did they just came back, time and time again. Well I emailed, SpyHunter and they wrote a program, sent it to my SpyHunter program and after a couple tries the Trojans where gone. They helped me for 2 weeks cleaning up the mess on this computer. They were totally awesome. I would recommend the programs.
Then with the holidays and visiting people time just got away from me, before I new it, it was Christmas. The baby had such a blast and it was so much fun to watch her open her presents. She loved her doll house. I think we did a good job this year. Thought I wish I could have gotten her the one gift she really wanted but just couldn't afford it this year. She want that new dog Biscuit, (she has been reading the biscuit books from the library), but being the dog is 169.00 dollars, there was just no way this year, maybe next year.
I decided that I needed a break, having a bit of down time. I have some things I need to take care of that I have been putting off. One has been cleaning this computer out and a few other things that need to be taken care of. I am going to try really hard to do the ADSD Blog Train cause I did miss it in Jan, with all the things going on and problems with the computer I just wasn't able to do it, but hopefully for Jan. I want to do something for K-Joi Studios mega kit, they are doing a Mardi Gras theme and a new color challenge for Feb. I hope to also get something done for a freebie but we will see. I might change directions all together in my designings cause things are going as well as I hoped but I will have to wait and see what happens.
I really hope you all had a great Christmas and your New Year brings hope, love and many many great friends into your lives. I also want to thank all my fans, it really makes what I do worth while. Hugs to all.

Special Announcement

2008-12-12T19:12:00.006-05:00

Have I got something special for you all. Do you like what you see in this preview?
Well if you do I hope that you will come over to K-Joi Studios and join me in the Color Challenge that I am hosting for the month of December. Just for participating in the challenge you will get this kit for free. When I picked the colors for this kit which are called Christmas Lights, I had a really hard time deciding what to do to as a posting bonus for doing the challenge. Then I just couldn't stop making things for the kit, I kept thinking of other things that would be really cool in the kit, and after 2 weeks of trying to get it done, IT'S DONE finally and decided I couldn't pick what to give out so I am giving the whole kit away. Computer problems, personal problems, but I finally got it done. And cause it took me so long, I am going to extend the challenge to the first week in Jan, to give you all time to do it with all the Holiday plans that will be coming up.
You are probable saying, well what is the challenge? LOL The challenge is really easy all you have to do is do a layout using the color pallet below or make a free mini kit that others can download.
Post your kit or layout in the gallery at K-Joi Studios, making sure to post in the challenge section in the forum so that I will know you completed your challenge and then I will get you the links for the kit. What could be easier than that. I hope you all will come join me.

I am running a little bit behind this morning. We had a very busy weekend. I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving Day and weekend.
We had Thanksgiving dinner here at my house, my older brother and his family came, along with my in-laws. We had such a great time, my dinner came out very good, thou Tom decided to take longer to cook than he was suppose too, he came out so goooooooooood. LOL
Then on Saturday we had Thanksgiving dinner with my husband's family, his parents, 3 brothers and family and one sister and her family. Then on Sunday I went to Thanksgiving dinner at my Aunts, with her 3 daughters and family. Thou my aunt is like my mom, she had been since I was 16, she has always been there for me since my mom pasted away. Kelly just had a baby on Tuesday the 25th, it was so great spending the day with them and the new addition to our family.
I was so pooped last night I couldn't do anything LOL. So here is my blog train kit for December, I Hope you all like it. And I will have another freebie sometime this week. YES you will have to wait I am trying to finish it up but there is just so much going on.

We woke this morning to a gorgeous snow fall. The first one of the year. I have a layout I did to share with you but first some news.
I just wanted to say thanks to everyone who gave me comments on my disastrous Halloween and to let you all know that on Saturday morning we went back to the vets and after about 2 hours we were able to get Smokey in the car and on our way home. So he is home very safe and sound and I might add very happy. God love um. LOLMy daughter, Kimberly, was just so excited to see the snow. She really hasn't had much experience with all the snow stuff. LOL Yeah in snowed in NJ but not like here in Upstate NY. It would snow and most cases within a couple days was gone. If it stayed there really wasn't much and turned to ice soon afterward. This is nice fluffy snow, Frosty type snow. :-)

I have a brand new kit in the store at Kjoi Studios and will be in Studio Style Design by mid week. It's called Tinsel Town. I had a lot of fun doing this kit.
Here is a preview.
I will have a new freebie for you either later today or tomorrow morning I just have some finishing touches to do on it.

Good Morning Everyone

2008-11-05T08:04:00.005-05:00
