Mellisa created this one using These Crazy Days. Isn’t that photo awesome? I love it!

And here are two beautiful LO’s by Lori! In this first one she used These Crazy Days. I think the black background makes the bright colors look so striking!

And using Dulcet. Isn’t that photo gorgeous???

And tonight I attended the speed scrap at ScrapMatters so of course I have to post about it! Sassypixie hosted and she always does such a fabulous job! I had a great time and ended up with a LO I actually really like! I used Kay Miller’s All Organic (one of my all time favorite kits!) and my own Stitched On Alpha.

Wow~! That was a lot of images! Sorry about that, but I had a lot to share! LOL Thanks for stopping by and have a fantastic weekend!!!

The Sunshine Girls have a new freebie collab for you today! We are celebrating the addition of several new Sunshine Girls and what better way to introduce them to you all than will a fabulous new freebie?! The new designers will be opening their shops at Sunshine Studio on Friday, so be sure to check them out!

And now onto the freebie! Here’s my part!

And now go check out the rest of the girls! You can find everyone’s links at the Sunshine Blog! And be patient if you find a blog that doesn’t have their freebie up yet - we’re an International group so our timezones are all different.

Happy scrapping!

So hopefully most of you are able to see my blog again. After deciding to save some money and go with free hosting and moving my blog over I started having all kinds of trouble. People couldn’t see my blog, I couldn’t login to post half the time, and everything in my dashboard was wonky! So, I moved back to my old hosting and decided to renew for another year and TADA! I’m back!

I’m SOOOOO sorry for all of the trouble with viewing my posts lately. Hopefully everything is back to normal now!

After hemming and hawing about it for weeks and weeks I took the plunge and got myself a little CT. I didn’t have a call, in case you are thinking you missed it. I’m terrified by the prospect of having a CT call, so I asked a couple of my friends if they would help me out. So, thank you Lori (LoriJ), Mellisa (Fairytalestudios), Aly (Alyalyaly), Alice (fallenan9e1), and Monica (mgl Scraps) for agreeing to work your magic with my little designs! And I cannot forget Tracy Anderson who has agreed to keep me organized and on my toes! lol

I wanted to share a few of the LO’s they’ve done this week. (Click on the image to see the full credits and leave them some love!)

Here’s a LO that Mellisa made using my new These Crazy Days kit. Isn’t her ferret adorable???

And Lori has been hard at work this week! Check out these gorgeous LO’s!

Using These Crazy Days. I LOVE this. Something about lots of white space just draws me right in!

And Dulcet…

Are these ladies talented or what???

I hope you’re enjoying your weekend! Thanks for stopping by!

This first part is personal stuff, so if you’d rather skip to the business portion, just scroll down past the photos. I have awesome SALES going on for the Fourth!!!

So, first I have to say a big huge hundred times thank you to everyone who sent positive thoughts and prayers our way! Adam was able to come home this afternoon and we are all totally elated. He is still wobbly and having a hard time walking on his own, but he seems so much better! I am SO grateful and SO relieved! Here are some pics of my little guy during his stay at the hospital…

In the ER, after a few hours with an IV:

Trying to pull the IV out:

Hanging out with daddy:

And finally, with blueberry pancakes all over his face. He ate enough that they said he could come home! Yay for blueberry pancakes! lol

Thanks for taking the time to look at my sweetie and read my good news!

And now I MUST tell you about a couple of sales happening for the Fourth!!! Here’s what’s up at ScrapMatters!

And I also have a sale going on at Scrap Orchard!

So JULY 4th ONLY if you buy two of my kits, you get a third one free! AND there is a section at Scrap Orchard called the Farmer’s Market. You will want to visit there because everything is just $1! Yep, one measly little dollar! LOL I have alphas, paper packs, element packs, even some kits listed in there! For a limited time only and then it will all be back to regular price, so go check it out!!!

And now I need to go to bed before I fall face down on the keyboard! Have a lovely Fourth!

Thank you for all of the well wishes for the boys.  Luke is doing much better.  Adam however is still dealing with the virus and is in the hospital with salmonella poisoning.  I spent the afternoon with him and my DH is there with him for the night.  They anticipate keeping him for a few days, so I won’t be around much and probably won’t have anything new until next week.

Both boys are sick again.  AGAIN!  I feel like this is never ending!

I’ll be MIA until they are better again.

Have a good weekend, everyone!

It’s Friday, which means I have some new stuff in the shop!  I wanted to show it off, but first I have to show you this layout I did with some of it!  I was so upset because I missed the speed scrap yesterday morning, so I made some time for myself this evening and scrapped something freestyle!  lol  (Click HERE for full credits.)

I used one of my new Painted Summer papers for the background and my new Bright Borders, too.   Check them out!

And last night was the speed scrap! One of my friends commented that I was so quiet this week she wasn’t sure if I had actually been there or not. lol I was there, but my DH was having a hard time getting the boys to bed, so I kept getting interrupted! And Andrea had such wonderful, challenging rules that between trying to follow the rules and trying to get my family out of my hair I almost didn’t finish! LOL Anyway, it was fun! Check out my LO!

And don’t forget that there is a daytime speed scrap on Thursday at 10am Pacific. I am hopefully going to be there! I have an appointment at 8, but I’ll rush home and hopefully make it back in time! Hope to see you there!
