Big Re-Grand Opening Sale at Digital Candy!!

Hello everyone!!

First let me start by telling you that I had to take down the link for the Faith Sister's freebie. It is now being offered as a part of this month's collab kit in the Faith Sisters store. Thanks to everyone who visited during the last week and I hope everyone enjoyed the freebie.

Now - let me tell you about some fabulous things going on THIS week!!

1st - Digital Candy is having their Re-Grand Opening from Feb 1st thru Feb 7th, and the entire store is 30% off - and in addition to that - I have my new kit, Tweetle Dee there, and for a limited time, if you purchase the Tweetle Dee kit, then you get the Tweetle Dee Scallop Album Pages for free!!! Other designers are having similar sales and promotions too - so you'll definitely want to go check it out!!!

2nd - My Guest CT call is continuing through the 8th, so you still have time to get in your application. It's super easy and we have a lot of fun!!

3rd - My 2nd ever challenge has been posted in my forum! It's a fun one and you can win a gift certificate to my shop -and you'll complete a layout in the process!! What do you have to loose?

4th - I've posted my new challenges at both Digital Candy and Enchanted Studio Scraps! I am the host for the ABC challenge at both sites. We are on different letters though. :) It's a great way to get some layouts done and earn points towards free kits!!

On a personal note - I have to brag about my dear Daughter!! She had a basketball game today, and she played the best defensive game I have ever seen her play!! I had to be the proudest Mom in the world!! I had worked with her some in the driveway on how to steal the ball and grab it even if it meant a jump ball. She knocked the ball away several times, even stole the ball once or twice. She had quite a few jump balls, and was getting in there with the big girls rebounding!! She won the defensive star this week for her team!! Way to go Kaylee!!

Well - it's super late here, so I'd better get some sleep!

Happy New Year!!!

It's a little late, I know, but Happy New Year anyway -hehe!! I'm back from my wonderful trip to see my family in Oklahoma and Kansas. We left the day after Christmas and came back on Jan 4th. After a LOT of unpacking, laundry, taking down Christmas decorations, and general catching up, I think life is pretty much "back to normal" as much as normal can be around here - lol! The trip was so much fun! I did way to much shopping, but it's all about how much you SAVED - right????? I got several shirts for $3 and $4 - so how can you pass that up??? rofl!! Seriously, it was so good to get to see my Brother and Sister-in-law, and my Aunt from California that I don't get to see very much, as well as all my Grandparents and Mom and Dad. And I have to say a big thank you to Joni for taking such good care of our furry babies while we were gone!! It's their home away from home!!!

I'm so glad to see that so many of you were able to grab and enjoy the freebie that is to celebrate my new site where I'll be selling my goodies, Enchanted Studio Scraps! It's coming along very nicely and is supposed to be open sometime around the 15th!! For those of you who had trouble with the download, I'm very sorry - but it should be all fixed, so feel free to still download - it's all still available. Also - Digital Candy got a big make-over and it is beautiful!! The new owners are great and one of my BFF's, Amanda, designed the graphics and you just have to go check it out!! The addy is now http://www.digitalcandy.us/ , but if you use the old addy - it will forward you. I'm also still selling at Faith Sisters and they have such a wonderful community. I'm so looking forward to what the new year brings as far as my digital designing!! Some new news for you about this - the people who bring you iTunes - now bring you iScrapbook -and I'm one of the first designers there!!! Whoo hoo!! You can check out the site at http://www.iscrapbook.com/. I'm working with them right now to get some of my kits uploaded to the site and they should be there in a couple of weeks. I am also putting more of my kits up at the Lasting Impressions website, http://www.memorymixer.com/ for use with their software program, Memory Mixer. This software is fabulous and allows you to get a LOT of scrapping done very quickly. So as you can see, I'm a busy little bee trying to get all my stuff packaged and at the new sites. Hopefully I can get this all done very soon so I can get some new designs out for you. :)

I wanted to share something I have done lately. Kaylee has really started doing a lot of drawing lately, and I sat down to draw with her one evening, and learned some new techniques from the books she got, and I was so proud of the bunny I drew. I made it into a "flair" button - and posted it to the right under the Christmas Candy preview. You'll have to check it out. I just wanted to share that with you. ;)

Ok - off to work on previews and uploading. I hope you have a wonderful day and a fabulous start to the new year!!!
