Long Time, No Blog!!!

Well hey there, you blog buddies! Long time no blog, huh? So much has happened in the last year or so, since my last post. To top the list, would be my daddy passing away in September. Hardest thing I've ever endured. :( :( The store I was selling my digital designs at, Digital Freebies, kind of regrouped (new owner) and booted us all out on the curb. So, I no longer have a store to sell my designs at. :( I went back to work full time. :(

On the upside, we bought a new house! Yay!!! Will have to post some pix soon. Although, I don't have internet at home now, because we are out in the country and can't get anything but DIAL UP!! egads. So, for now, I hit and miss when I can check in. Needless to say this has put a damper on all things scrappy.

But, I have been working on a new kit. It's a Valentine themed kit, but had more colors than just pink and red. I was wondering, if anyone would be interested in seeing it? I'm not sure if there are any of you still out there reading this. So if you are, give me a shout out, in the form of a comment, and perhaps I'll think of posting this new set of papers as a freebie. Just maybe.

Hope to hear from you. . . .

More News . . .

Well, by the time you read this, I should know if I made it to Round 3 in the Little Dreamer Apprentice contest. It's so nervewracking! I hope I can sleep tonight!!



But I do have some news. Little Dreamer has received so many requests for the elements we created, that they have decided to go ahead and host download links for all of the elements packs to be given away free to everyone! Those should start to be up on Tuesday. So, make sure you go by and snag all those gorgeous element packs!



Now, as for the deal I made with you . . . and to those who took time to go by LDD and comment and come back here and leave me a comment (about 25 of you) it seems kind of unfair that EVERYONE is going to get my element pack now. Sooooo, I have decided to cook up something extra special for you . . to go with the element pack! So, if you don't mind waiting a few more days, everyone who left me comments is going to get a special treat from me.

I would like to thank everyone who went by and looked, my submission is the 2nd most viewed, and I have the 2nd highest number of comments!! That's thrilling!

If you didn't take time to comment, and would still like to get my element pack and the 39 other element packs that are going to be offered, here is the link. Go by and get it and please be kind and leave some love for those ladies for their hard work!

I also want to remind you that my new kit, Strong Shoes, debuts at Digital Freebies today! I hope you'll go by and snag it while it's 30% off this week! Here's the preview!









And don't forget to watch for my Friday Freebie coming out Friday in the Digital Freebies newsletter!!!
