Due to my family going through a financial difficulty at this time, I have to look for a part-time (possibly a full-time) job to relieve some of our financial burdens. Unfortunately, this has caused me to make some changes in regards to CT participation.
I'd already been pondering the thoughts that I'd taken on more than I could handle when I was chosen as a Site CT, and had even been trying to figure out how I was going to find the time to be on so many. For the past week, I managed just fine, and still had time for family, chores, and play-time. However, adding a new job into the mix, managing so many CT's no longer seems plausible.
So today, with the utmost regret, I contacted several CT designers to give them my sincerest apologies.

Sunday Special...LO's & Freebie!!
So here's the thing...two weeks ago I had started posting all of my required CT LO's with my regular LO's throughout the week. By the following Sunday I was at a loss on what to do...so just ended up gathering all of the LO's and posted them again!! It worked for last week, because there was only 4...however...this week I had 14 CT LO's and 1 Challenge LO!! :O
The original post idea was based on my Momma's "Daily Special" at her diner when I was a child. Each day a new "Special" would be featured...so running off of that theme, I decided to feature all of my "Specials" on one specific day. Now, with new CT's added, it works out easier to just feature them throughout the week as I create them.
Due to the new posting schedule, it's just not feasible to showcase them a 2nd time. (Besides, they are continuously featured in a running slide-show found halfway down the left side, under each Designer's name.) SO...that leaves me trying to scramble my brain to come up with post ideas for my Sunday Special.
WHAT TO DO?? WHAT TO DO?? WHAT TO DO?? At the moment, I haven't the foggiest, so while I try to think, take a gander at my latest LO's!!

Well, I'm drawing a complete blank...so I will leave you with a freebie!! Lorene Hill has graciously given me permission to create QP's to give away as gifts using her kits!! *smiles* For my first QP, I decided to use my LO "On Mamaw's Front Porch" (shown above).

****UPDATES****
SHHHH!!...Do you hear that?...Listen...that extremely SOFT sound is the noise of my washing machine doing the 7th load since yesterday evening!! *giggles* In just under 12 hours, I've become SPOILED having a front load washer and dryer!! No more hauling stuff to the laundry mat!! No more hanging clothes out on the line!! (Unless it's my bed linens...) No more washing machine that shakes the entire house down during spin cycle!! hehehehehe They are so quiet, if not for the different lights flickering, I'd have no idea they were running!!
The room still sits unfinished, the sink uninstalled, the floors only half repaired, and one wall missing drywall...but I CAN DO LAUNDRY!!
Spent most of the day yesterday tending to one of the 4 newborns. It was dehydrated, the flies wouldn't leave it alone, it had no energy, and the momma cat just didn't want to be around it. SO...hubby and I brought it inside, gave it a bath, kept it warm, and fed it with a baby kitten bottle every 2-3 hours. It stopped breathing on me twice...each time breaking my heart!! Hubby and I took turns all night of snuggling with the little fur-baby and feeding. (It was almost like having a newborn baby in the house...) Was really afraid I would wake this morning to find it not breathing again. However, I woke to find it up and running around, and exercising it's loud set of lungs!! Hubby fed her, cleaned her up, then put her back outside with her momma and she immediately began to nurse!! YAY!!

Tuesday Thoughts...and updates!!
#1. As usual, my procrastination is rearing it's ugly head...lol
#2. Thank goodness Monday is over!!
#3. Trying to create a scrap page while on meds means some of your journaling will be wrong.
#4. Not noticing mistake until 24 hours after posting to several galleries and groups creates stress.
#5. Having to make changes and re-upload page to several galleries and groups takes exactly an hour and half to accomplish. (Without potty breaks!!)
#6. Did you know that the mini batteries inside a cordless drill rechargeable battery can over heat when charging, causing them to explode?
#7. Mini battery exploding sounds like gunfire.
#8. Though small, it can leave a huge hole in your ceiling!!
#9. Bubbling battery acid smells nasty!!
#10. I've made a mental note to supervise the other rechargeable battery, just in case hubby accidentally puts it on wrong setting again.
**UPDATES**
Furbabies:
Yesterday, my daughter Kat and I were lying on a blanket in the backyard watching the clouds go by. All was peaceful until I started to go inside to refill my soda. Halfway to the door, I heard what sounded like a small bird chirping. I asked Kat to come over and listen. The chirping got louder near the fence...it wasn't chirping...it was the litter of kittens that the last momma cat had that we were never able to find!! 2 solid orange babies, 1 gray with white paws, and one tiger stripe!! Our total?? 9 adult cats, 6 frisky kittens, 4 in betweens, 3 itty bitty ones, 4 newborns & 1 Husky that thinks he's half human/half feline!!
Runtmiester is doing fine. The momma cat has begun nursing her again, so we haven't had to go replace the bottle...hehehe!! As for eating, her siblings are chowing away on dry food, but it takes forever for her to get one piece chewed, so we've started her on soft foods.
One of the 4 newborns has an eye infection that had caused it to scab over!! With them being in a box for the past few weeks with their momma, we didn't notice until today when they all started to venture out. This poor baby just stood there screaming it's lungs out cause it was alone. I spent nearly half an hour trying to saturate the area with warm water while gently wiping, then hubby spent another half hour. We finally got the eye cleared, but I'm afraid we may be too late to save it. The eye is cloudy and is twice the size of the normal eye. All I can do is continue to flush the eye every few hours with sterile water and pray that it clears.
Bathroom
My bathroom looks like it's getting worse!! Hubby is doing floor in sections, removing a sheet of plywood and repairing the damage underneath, then putting down new plywood. He's now in the middle of section 2 (out of 4), where most of the termite and water damage had occurred. Though the water heater is now reconnected to water and gas lines, the drain area is now leaking and hubby has had to cap it off. (Hoping the repair holds up for a while.) The old carpet has been ripped up and put in the trash pile, and the sink has been disconnected from the wall. I've stripped the wall paper border, and done tons of cleanup.
In the meantime, living in a house while doing a remodel is taking it's toil on my sanity, My den, kitchen and dinning rooms look like a tornado came through!! Mind you, most days I'm not the best housekeeper due to my R.A., but this is BEYOND trashed!! I won't disgust you by going into the gory details for fear of scaring you...just trust me it's worse than anything you can imagine!!
Creative Team's
I am actually having a blast being on 4 CT's!! Once I got everything organized and learned everyone's rules, I was able to get into a smooth flow!! This is what I will be or have been doing this week...
For Nayyan: I've been searching through all of my photos for the perfect beach scenes for my LO requirements for the week. Her kit just screams summer and beach!! 1 down, and 3 to go!!
Lorene has started a Forum for all scrappers to get together and have fun, called Scrapin' Party. There's ALL KINDS of freebies, and even a cool challenge going on!! C'mon over and enjoy the fun!!
For Tina: I'm working with one of her awesome vintage kits. So be on the look out for more heritage pages!!
For Kathryn, it truly is all about the elements!! I've got several pages I'm working on. They're under wraps right now...hush hush...top secret stuff. So you'll just have to stay tuneded for Sunday's review, or stop my galleries sometime this week to check if I've uploaded anything. *giggles* You'll know it when you see it!! :D
Anywhoos, I think that about covers everything. I'm off to get lost in PSP!!
'Til next time...Happy Scrappin'!!
