The coolest birthday ever!!

I might have to think that this has been the coolest birthday ever...so far of course. I was lucky enough to be chosen for the Pages in Time Design Team. Karen picked 9 out of over 100 entries! How exciting is that?! I can't wait to see what she has in store for us. You should really go visit her site http:// pagesintimestoresite.ning.com/ and check it out. It is so fun there, with the live chat and all. So much great information too. Her online store is just about up and running! Anyways just had to share the great news with everyone!!

The weekend is finally here...

Well it seems like it took forever but its finally here. I can't believe I actually have a full weekend off! What a great weekend ot be off too, it's my birthday monday and I get to spend the weekend with my mom at a crop. We signed up for the Crop for the Cure. I am excited to be helping the Relay for Life this year. Just wanted to remind you all to make sure you sign up for the RAK I am giving away monday in honor of my birthday. Hope you all have a great weekend.

I'm giving away a RAK on my birthday!!

SO monday is my birthday and I want to give to you! It's easy... all you have to do is sign up to be a follower and leave a comment about the best birthday gift you have ever recieved on this thread and I will draw one winner randomly! I will draw the name Monday the 27th at 6pm!!! So sign up today!!

It's Monday!

Well here we are on another monday. It should be a great week. It is supposed to be near 80 all week, I love the sunshine. I am going to a crop on saturday to benefit the relay for life campaign. My mom is driving over from Medford to go with me, it should be alot of fun. I am also preparing for the weekend crop next week for National scrapbook day. We have access to a whole house for the event! I will start getting goody bags together this week. Oh and I can't forget my birthday coming up on monday, haha just another day as far as I am concerned. Karen is anouncing the DT that day, so maybe that will be a great gift!

Bummed

So I am a little bummed I wasnt chosen for the design team. I wanted it really really bad. Oh well better luck next time. I did get invited to try out for another one tho, so thats exciting. It is for Karen who owns her own scrapbook store in NE. I am excited that she invited me to try out for it. She has an amazing store and sometime hope to visit there. I am glad she does offer online ordering tho. I cant wait to go browse. :) I will keep you updated if things go right :)

Pins and Needles

SO I applied for the design team and I am anxiously waiting to hear from them to see if I made it. It's a huge chance but hey I can't win if I don't enter. They are calling people this week. I am hoping tomorrow my phone rings. If not they also chose some for honorable mention I at least hope I am in those ones. It is a huge prize of $500 plus an 8 month contract. It would be so amazing. So keep your fingers crossed for me. Here are a couple of my pages.

Mother's Day Gift

I wanted to share with you all the mother's day gift I made my mom. Its a tribute to my dad. As most of you know he passed away from cancer almost two years ago. My parents were married 42 years and meant everything to each other. I hope she likes this...

Happy St. Patty's Day!

Top O' the morning to ya. Sorry couldn't resist. Happy St. Patty's day to everyone. I don't really celebrate it. Haha I am not even wearing green today. Sad as all the little kids on my bus pinched me lol.
I send off my package for the DT I am trying out for yesterday, so thats exciting, now just another month of waiting as I wont know for sure until about the 14th or 15th of April. Would make a nice bday gift for me if I made the team tho :) Considering its a $500 prize package to start! I will post pics tomorrow as I am heading out of town for work in a few mins.
I applied for a second job working at Michaels, mostly for the discount lol. But also that way they would have someone int he new store who might know something about the scrapbookign dept. Geez it frustrates me to find they hired people who don't know anything. Sorry a little venting there lol.
Hope everyone has a great day, enjoy the nice weather while we have it!!!

Been so long

Wow it has been forever since I posted on here. Life is too crazy for me at the moment I guess. SO some things to catch up on...
I went to the CK convention in Portland, took some classes, attended some crops, won some very neat prizes, including second place in the CK layout contest. WHooo hooo. I was very stoked about that.
I am trying out for a DT right now will keep you posted as to what happens with that. It ends April 10th.
Glad spring break is coming up, maybe I can get some house repairs caught up on. Thats it for now I guess. Hope everyone is safe and heathly.

Wow it has been awhile since I was able to get on here and leave some love. Life has been crazy, work has been busy. I did get another page published in Scrapbook News and Review Magazine so that was pretty cool for me. I am working in portland for about 6 days so I have alot of time on my hands. I got to go to Nike world, that was very cool. I took some pics and will be scrapping them soon. Hope everyone is safe and well.

Hi there

Just checkin in to say hi and let everyone know I am still alive lol. I have been super busy with life and kids and work. My scrapbooking has really taken off lately and I can't seem to stay caught up. But that's ok that is where I want to be with it. Hope everyone is doing well. I can't believe it is already February. March is around the corner and that will be an exciting month, Spring break what more could you ask for. Also my big convention is the first weekend in March and we have a blast up in Portland. Well off to watch my favorite show Biggest Loser (the only tv I ever watch) Have a great evening.

Having a great day..

Just wanted to share a few things that have happened recently. Aside from having a bout with food poisoning last night, I am having an awesome day. I have been found by one of my dearest friends from school and havent seen or heard from her in about 22 years! So excited to get back in touch with her and her family. Also I had the opportunity to find another friend from my childhood that I havent heard from in many many years and found out she had twins recently! Wow how we all grow up lol. I am excited to hear from her, hopefully she remembers me lol.

OMG!!!!

So I just opened an email that was from Rusty Pickle asking if I would be willing to let them use a layout of mine to be featured in their february newsletter and on their blog! How dang exciting is that? I am so dang stoked. I want to screammmmm. lol Just had to share.

A HUGE toot of my own horn.

I got the most exciting news today. Scrapbook news and review magazine has accepted some of my layouts for publication. This is like a dream come true. I was so excited I didn't know what to say, or whether to scream or cry, I did actually cry I was so excited. As I know more I will keep you informed. Whooooo Hoooooo for me!!!

I have a feeling...

I have a feeling this month is going to fly by. I actually hope it does for a variety of reasons. For one winter would be closer to being over, I am so tired of the cold. Guess I should think about moving to Fl or somewhere lol.
I am so very sad to say that my vacation is almost over, I have enjoyed being able to scrap as much as possible the last two weeks.
I joined a new challenge called the AGC anything goes challenge. Its alot to keep up with but I have having fun so far with the daily challenges and such. Seems to be some bickering that is going on about points and such, Hope I am not part of that. Too much drama, a few people have already left. :( Sad to see people leave. Anyways I am off to scrap. Have a great weekend.

Happy New Year!

Just wanted to wish everyone a very happy new year! Hope it is safe and prosperous.
I am hoping that 2009 is an awesome year for me, I am expecting some major changes this year and will keep you posted as they come about. I am hoping my scrapbooking resume continues to grow and evolve as well.

One week left

Well I have one week of vacation left. I cleaned the house today and now the week is mine to scrap away. My new cricut expression got here today so I was busy hooking it up to the design studio and all. Boy it looks like too much fun..if thats possible lol. I finally got the Rusty Pickle paper I have been waiting for and finished my sketch layout. I wish our local scrapstores sold it. :(
Few more days to the new year...what's your new years resolution?
Here's my Rusty Pickle layout...
