I Cannot Believe Its Saturday!

My goodness! Has it been FIVE days since I've posted? I don't know how others do it with their kids and scrapping and cleaning, cooking, etc.! Wow! Busy week but not much to show for it. Finally got some sound on this new CPU so I can watch my Podcasts and Adobe DVD. One day was spent with my great friend, Ginni. Thanks for lunch Ginni, and your time spent with me! Ginni has to have some surgery soon so I'm asking for some prayers for her surgeon and for her to get well quickly. If she doesn't heal VERY quickly, she will mess up her knee for good-Ginni just cannot stay put for more than 5 minutes at a time. Another 2 days were spent revamping my digital elements files. I just had way too many folders and files so I got rid of all the folders I could and then I did a sync between the new info and the old on my backup drive. Boring, I kept dozing off while I was typing in new names and such. I'm sorry to say that I also did a little element shopping after I revamped! You'd think over 12,000 elements and paper would be enough for anyone-I think I'm mostly a collector because I seldom get a page done.

This has been a whirlwind of the last few days for some of my online friends. Megs chose her new Creative Team designer (not me LOL!) Crystal. Flergs (aka Megan Farrow) has opened her new store with Scrapbook Graphics! You really need to go and check it out and sign up for her newsletter too (she gives you coupons and freebies). Ellie Lash (of Sugar Snap Scraps) has opened her own independent store! Please be sure and check her out too (she also does freebies and discounts). Both of these young ladies really know how to design and you cannot go wrong by purchasing their products.

I did put together a small kit for you. It really takes me a bundle of time to do these since I'm always changing my mind about what I want to include, what colors, etc. I'm just a mess of indecision! I need to get some of my online friends to rub off on me. Vicki Chrisman (This Art That Makes Me Happy) gets so much done it's unbelievable. If you keep up with her shenanigans you just have to believe she has a bunch of little elves running around doing her bidding! LOL! She makes something EVERY SINGLE DAY!

Well, here's the little kit:

I hope you find some way to use it; I was thinking, like, maybe "key to my heart" or something like that? The little chains could be for holding tags or charms too.

I need to go post some pages and list this freebie at DigiShopTalk! Have a great SUPER weekend!

Tootles!

First Chat!

Hey Y'all!

I went to my first chat today! It was at DigiShopTalk and it was with designer Misty Mareda. It lasted for an hour and I had a great time and hope to do that again soon! We even got freebies for attending! How cool is that?! I also joined their Gold Membership (even though I am already a member of the site) that includes 12 digital monthly kits. You get a kit a month and it's way cheaper than paying $3 or more per kit! The one thing I was surprised about was that I didn't feel out of my depth. There seemed to be all levels of competence in digital scrapping represented. I found out about some sites I want to visit and perhaps join and also how to navigate my way around a chat room! The participants were quick with PM'ing me to let me know what was what if I had a question. All in all, a very good experience.

My friend Flergs has been ultra busy lately, just creating away! I think have everything she's done and if I don't I will soon. I've done some more designing but not good enough to offer to anyone. I did make a frame like the old timey Polaroids use to use; I used it in my LO Happiness is . . . I'll post it and come back and put a link to it here soon.



Isn't Joshua adorable in this shot? It just makes me smile all inside to look at it! I really need to smile more because even if you hurt, smiling and laughing makes you feel better. I've really tried to concentrate on other things and I think I'm doing a pretty good job of it so far. A friend's birthday was last week and the gang is getting together tomorrow to celebrate. I'd love to go but I'm just not up to it and don't think they really understand. Lynn is picking up a fair amount of the slack that this crap has kept me from doing. No, she hasn't vacuumed, but hey no one's going to come in and rob me of my dust and dirt! LOL! I have a friend that has a cleaning business and I know I could get her to come and clean up but I don't want anyone I know to see my mess. Right? Some things are better left unseen.

I haven't heard from Jill this week; I think I'd better email her and see what the doctor said about her condition. Keep praying that it isn't Fibromyalgia. I'm going to do that now. I'll try and post something sooner rather than later. I've been kinda remiss about this blog.

Tootles!
