New Kits and The Latest News

This week I have some Fourth of July goodies. As part of my "Little" series, I'm introducing Happy Little Fourth. It's available in a paper pack and an element pack.

And look at this beautiful card that Sharyn created. The papers printed out so nicely and she did such an amazingly neat job assembling the parts. WOW!
And here's a cute layout by Jen. Cute, cute, cute! And look at those darling kids.
So do any of my American readers have plans for the Fourth? I've been invited to a picnic and fireworks party at my handyman's house. I'm hoping my best friend can go with me (she's invited too) because I won't know anyone but the handyman and another guy. Or maybe I WILL and don't know it yet! I am usually very outgoing but when I'm attending something like that where I don't know how everyone knows each other, or if there are some people like me who are new but I don't know if they're new or not, I just end up being shy and standing on the sidelines. Hopefully, I won't feel awkward and it'll be a good time. I hope everyone gets some time to relax and have some fun no matter what your plans are!

It's also available in separates…Paper, Elements and Alpha Packs.

Look at this darling layout created by Holly. I was so thrilled when I first laid eyes on it. SO CUTE!

I always wonder if my kits will be okay or not and if they'll be fun to work with.

And this one was created by Tracy. Another beautiful layout! I wish I had the talent to create the way that these girls do.

And guess what! Tonight I had a date!!! For a year I have been recovering from my divorce and it's been so hard…wishing that things hadn't happened the way they did. But, it feels really good to take this step forward and away from all that pain. We just went for a walk on a little trail on the outskirts of town. I brought my dogs and he was so kind to just meander along at their pace, while they sniffed at things. And we just talked and enjoyed each other's company. It was very nice.

I'm Getting Back in the Swing of Things

Hello! I'm sorry I've been MIA lately. So much going on getting my clients ready for CHA-Summer. I wish I were attending but not this time. Actually, I should start making plans to go to CHA-Winter because that would mean a nice trip to a warm climate while it's freezing here. That sounds much more inviting!

Even though I've been terribly busy, I did force myself to etch out some time for ME and for creating a new collection for Quirky Twerp. I felt so rusty that I wasn't sure anything good would come out of my fingers and my head, but I persisted and actually I'm more than pleased with the result!

Here's a little sneak peek of my collection that debuts on Thursday.

See those blueberries in the corner. I went blueberry picking, with my best friend, a couple days ago. YUM....I love blueberries! I like to freeze them and then eat a handful as they start to thaw. They're like tiny round popsicles.

I have been getting to know my Brazilian neighbor even more. She really is a delightful person. I'm taking her to an appointment with her attorney tomorrow and hopefully we can work toward getting her child custody more fairly distributed. She never stops thinking about her daughter and wanting to make a nice home for her.

Last of all, tomorrow is $2.00 Tuesday. My Gardenologie kits are on sale. Have you planted a garden this summer? Maybe you need to document that with some Gardenologie goodies!

A Little Love from Me to You

I am still so swamped with my graphic design work...my real job...that I haven't been able to finish a collection I started this week, so I have another freebie for you. This little original watercolor can be used as a print for framing, a cover for an 8" x 8" album, or reduce the size and make a nice little mini book. A lot of possibilities! I hope you enjoy it.

My plan is to have a new collection next week. Fingers crossed!!! EEK

Fourth of July Freebie

Here's a little giftie for my American friends! (Or my worldwide friends who love a little American Celebration!)

I'm Sorry!

I'm sorry I have not been blogging or creating. I have been bombarded with work for my graphic design business so I have to take care of my clients first. I'm hoping to carve out some time for me and my own creations...maybe this weekend. Fingers crossed!

I've also spent some time helping my Brazilian neighbor with some phone calls and trips to the store. Things seem to be moving along for her in a positive way and hopefully that will continue.

I hope you all have a great weekend and get to spend some time with friends or family or in solitude doing whatever you love to do! :-)

Little Summertime

Now that we are officially into June and unofficially into summer, I have unpacked my May Grab Bag. Here are the kits, available in my shop on Thursday. And as always 20% off Thursday and Friday.
