Just a quick update…  Card registration is open.  I don’t have a new sample posted and I have a very good excuse!  We are all in Florida at Disney World.   I’m taking a break to rest my poor tired feet and post this little update.  I’ll be sending out a newsletter shortly and providing a link in it to register.  For those of you that don’t get the newsletter, there is also a link at the right under a generic card sample to register for Novemeber kits.

I leave tomorrow morning after the boys go to school for Scraptoberfest in Gaylord.  I love it there and I’m excited to go.  Mom and I will be cropping all weekend after some business in town in the morning/afternoon.  My goal… and hopefully I’m not gonna shoot myself in the foot here, is no ticket.  Last time we went, Denny got a ticket on the way up.  Of course if you know him well, you know he is ticket prone and the month he got two.   ...

Hard to believe it’s Wednesday already and I am one step closer to my Scraptoberfest weekend in Gaylord.  I’m really looking forward to it.  I really just love it there.  It’s being held at The Otsego Club, starts Friday and runs through Sunday.  That makes for a very happy me!! I’ve been busy working on cards for the October kit.  (Tomorrow is the last day to register.)  Here is a sample from this months kit…  How cute is this ... Read Full Story

Well it started with Dylan and a case of the sniffles and has now moved to Shelby and Ethan.  Shelby just has a mild running nose and a low grade fever.  Denny has a tendency to freak out, and a temp of 99.9 degrees sends him into a state of panic, which I have to admit is driving me CRAZY.  There is a line between being concerned, and being a lunatic.  From the moment he comes home to the moment he goes to bed he has a thermometer in hand.  Really.  After three ...

It’s a rainy Friday here in Michigan, I get to have a fondue lunch with my good friend Michelle, my fantastic husband, and my sweet little Shelby.  Does it get any better than that???  I’m loving the rain and all the overcast.  Generally I love that type of weather anyway, but some days I’m more in the mood than others.  Today is certainly one of those days. Some of you may know that I have the Pazzles Creative Cutter Pro, which I’ve had a love/hate... Read Full Story

I ordered an Epic Six near the end of September.  I’m pleased to say it came yesterday.  (The kids Halloween costumes came too – so a happy UPS day all around, lol).  I ordered it as a pre-order from the website www.scrapbuggy.com.  The customer service there was great, and they communicated every step of the process and even sent me a tracking number when it shipped.  They had a great deal on it, so I’m even more excited about my purchase.  Che...

I spent yesterday getting a card sample done and as promised here it is.  This sample is a card that will be included in the October General Kit.  Sadly my glossy accents didn’t show up much in the photo. Today I’ll be prepping some more cards, making a trip for Denny to get some work shoes and waiting for Art Van service to show up to service our couch.  My service window is 8-11am.  I suspect they will arrive sometime around 11:30am, lol.  On top of whi...

All of you that purchased the September Birthday/Thank You kits and the special edition Halloween kits should have them by now.  Hopefully everyone is happily assembling their cards.  If you have any questions, please let me know!  I heard back from several of you that got them Thursday and Friday and want to thank you for the positive feedback.  We had A LOT of kits go out this past month and I’m sure my mail carrier was excited to see my porch covered with kit pack...

I am pleased to report that the September kits are done and ready to go.  They will be shipping out by this Friday.    For those of you that ordered the special Halloween kit, those will be shipping together!  So… keep an eye on your mailbox. October kit registration is now open.  The October kits will ship with a free gift from me!  I’ll be including a spool of American Crafts ribbon in all orders that are reserved and paid for by the 15th.  Just a little gift from me to you.  T...

The next week of my life is going to be all about cards.  Seriously.  Unlike Andrea, I don’t prep cards, (generally), until sign ups are done.  I just don’t want to cut paper and have all sorts of waste, and until I have a concrete number of sign ups, it seems silly for me to start cutting into paper.  I have a few designed and a couple as of today and are already packaged and ready to go.  This morning I started working on another of the Birthday cards fo...
