Rather absent lately. . .

I know I've been rather absent here lately. Things have been extremely crazy as real life tends to get.

One day I had to put my darling Megan in timeout because she was being bad. Well while she was in timeout she decided she wanted to fry my laptop. She poured water on it and yep it's fried. Luckily, the HD is still good so I was able to pull everything I had on there off. So I've been in a little bit of a funk lately because I want to scrap but am completely unable to because my dinosaur of a desktops processor isn't good enough to run any of the programs I can use. So I'm just kind of been in a blah kind of mood.

Then if that wasn't enough, the other day my wonderful hubby sent me a text and I went to go respond and the screen on my cell is completely white. I can't do a master reset on it because it's touch screen and doing the power cycle didn't fix the problem. So I called t mobile and they have a replacement on the way to me now. It should be here sometime tomorrow. I've already tracked it this morning. LOL

So I guess I've just not really been in the mood to do much of anything. Scrapping is my release and I haven't been able to do that. I have a very dear friend that will be working on a new blog look for me soon. I've decided it's kind of time for something a little spring like. I get tired of the same look after a while.

That's about it for now so. . .

Until next time. . .

A fun day. . .

The other day our weather was nice enough for us to go out and play for a few. So that's exactly what we did. The kids and the dog enjoyed being outside in the sunshine. I pretty much enjoyed it myself. I broke out the camera and ended up getting some great pics of the kids. It had been a while since I've taken pictures. I'm not sure why though. I so enjoy taking pics of the kids I have no idea why I don't take them more often. I can't remember the last time they had so much fun. It's been decent weather around here but not decent enough for the kidlets to go out and play. So I'm going to run and play with the kiddies, but I wanted to leave you all with some of my new favorite photos of the kiddies from the other day.




Until next time. . .

Closing up shop

Christie Lemmon aka Christie Lemmon Designs has decided to close up her shop. This is such a devastating blow to all of the people who adore her designs (me included). Christie just recently gave birth to a gorgeous little boy. She has decided to close up shop to spend more time with her family. So she has put her entire shop on sale until the end of the month. She is having a Buy My Store Sale. You can purchase her entire shop at Inspiration Lane for just $5. Yep you read that right, just $5. Don't miss out on this opportunity.


Until next time. . .

BYOB and an announcement from. . .

Rachel aka Steel City Scraps. She has decided to go on a design hiatus for who knows how long. :( I'm devastated my this news but I can completely understand. Her love for her family is so overwhelmingly strong, that she decided it was time to hang up her designer hat for now. She hasn't decided when or if she will be coming back into the designing world so she's decided to close up her shops at Scrappity-Doo-Dah and Inspiration Lane. Here is what she is doing for her going out of business sale. She is having a Build Your Own Bag sale (how unique is this?) You pick the products. Following are your options for this sale. . .







Grab her fabulous designs while you can folks. We don't know if she's coming back or not. Her talent is truly amazing. The digital world just won't be the same without her designing, but we all totally understand her reasons.

Until next time. . .

A Heavy Heart . . .

So yesterday I walked away from one of my great true loves. Granted it is only temporarily it's time that I begin to refocus my attention back to my real life true loves. My kids and my husband. Shane is starting school in the fall, I can hardly believe it, so it made me think that I should be working with him more to prepare him for school than spending my time scrapping. Although I've had a wonderful creating for the fabulous ladies I had the chance to work with it's just time to refocus my attention for now. I'm hoping to take the plunge back into Creative Team work once Shane starts school and gets settled down in his new routine. After all that will free up approximately 2 hours for me during the day since Megan will still be napping. It was one of the hardest decisions I have had to make in a while. I felt like I was letting so many people who have just welcomed me and my non experience at the time with open arms. Their truly are wonderful people left in the world. I'm not sure how much updating I will be able to do on my blog, but I will be keeping in touch. Who knows maybe I'll have some little freebies coming out in the not so near future. You just never know what life has in store for you.

Until next time. . .
