Disappointed

Well, I didn't make it to the 3rd round of the contest at ScrapOrchard, but that's ok. I think it exposed a lot of people to my designs that might not have otherwise ever seen my name, so that's a good thing, right? I can't help but feeling down about it though. Oh well. I am designing at two fabulous sites and I am loving that! My new site is going well. Everyone there is very friendly and they have some great sales and things going on. I have really been trying to advertise and get my name out there and I have seen an increase in my sales, so hopefully I can keep the momentum going.

On a bright note, I am going on a retreat next weekend and I can't wait. Be sure to check out my stores after the 25th because I bet I'll have several new kits up - hehe. I really need to get away and relax, so I am sooooo looking forward to this!

I am also working on finishing some projects for the book I've been working on for Design Originals, and am hoping to be able to turn that in before I leave for my retreat! That will give me extra reason to celebrate and relax!

My kids are doing great! Kaylee did an awesome job at her field day on Friday - I was so proud. Zachary's last week of school is this week, so that makes me sad! I am going to miss having my 2 days a week to myself to get stuff done - kwim?

Well, that about catches you up on what's going on with me. I hope you all are well!

~til next time,
Paula

Their loss. So...can I sport a CT blinkie from you?!! I need to dress up my blog and my siggy's in the forums.

You just keep designing, we will keep creating & posting and BAM....You won't know what hit you!

Happy Sunday!

Hi, I just want you to know I just love your work and I am sorry that you did'nt win over at Scrap Orchards:)
I was wanting to ask a favor from you. Seeing how I am a great big fan of yours:), I was wondering if you could possibly do me a huge favor and let me know where I can get your Country Cousins (bear) kit. I have tried over and over at Scrap Orchards but I just have'nt been able to get a link to where I could download it. I really love this kit and I have been trying to find out something on it since day one..lol.. Could you please email me with a download link or a place to where it can be purchased. I would really appreciate it! Thanks! And Have a wonderful week! HUGS! tmm.hall@gmail.com
