Sunday Special...(updates, a new lo and a freebie)

I am still on cloud nine from yesterday!! It is such a wonderful feeling to browse through the store and see my kits, my name, my banner...

I just finished two new overlay kits...grunge and faeries!! Though they took me several hours to get the right effect, I'm very happy with how they turned out!!

Available HERE


Coming to store soon...


I finally created a new LO...lol...it seems like it's been forever since I did one, but I'm not complaining...I enjoy designing and creating just the same, so it's a win/win situation!! *smiles*

Saturday Surprise...I've been M.I.A.

Thank you so much to those that sent messages and email asking my whereabouts for the last 2 days...it just touched my heart to know y'all were so concerned over my being M.I.A.!! And I also want to thank you for your prayers regarding YS's court date...it means more to me than you'll ever know!!

OK...so let's see if I can catch up with all that I've done since Wenesday!!

1. *Hubby and I made a trip to the post office to drop off another item he sold on ebay!!
2. *I spent a couple of days trying to set up an FTP program and POP3 mail.
3. *I went to UPS to get some things printed because my printer wasn't playing nice with me.
4. *Hubby and I took Kat and YS to Rocky Branch Park for a day of swimming in the river while hubby grilled.
5. *YS and I had a long heart-to-heart where we both ended in tears with neither of us wanting him to return to Michigan...but due to his court date for his little "throwing star incident" he had no choice. His plan is to return home after graduating next summer...I'll rent a truck and drive up to get him and his stuff...since he expressed he never wants to fly again.
6. *I cried for so hard today, after he boarded the plane, that I'm now numb. Did you know that you can continue to cry even when your eyes no longer produces tears?
7. *I now have my 7 completed kits sent to Tina, and now awaiting my grand-opening!!

And there you have it...my busy schedule since Wednesday afternoon. Of course, there were lots of other things like taking Kat to VBS for the week, and OS to and from work, watching movies with YS, and taking YS shopping!!

For those of you that have sent messages about my grand-opening...please be patient just a little longer...it will happen just as soon as it can...I promise!!

LOVE & HUGS

Sunday Special...(a new LO)

It's the end of June and my cue to work on Christmas presents for the family. This year, for my brother, I'm designing a "family tree" photo album. This page will actually be the cover of the book...a hybrid...since I'm planning on adding several elements as well.

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!!

Hmmm...still no ideas!!
Do you have any?? Wanna share them??
*bats eyelashes*

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!!
