Free At Last!! :)

AAAHH.. A HUGE SIGH OF RELIEF!!

I am FINALLY done with all my Fancy Pants Deadlines!! WOOHOO!! Man! I felt like I almost fell off the face of the earth for a minute there ;) I have been so busy with deadlines, that I haven't had time for anything else.. I haven't been scrappin (or blogging for that matter) And I am ACHING to do both! :) So.. Blogging first..

My birthday was AWESOME! Thank you for all the well wishes! Our Park City get-a-way was such a blast!! The first night was a get-a-way from our kids (YES!) My mom volunteered to stay over night with the girls. Paul and I really enjoyed ourselves.. We did some shopping,(Yes, my hubby likes to shop!) had a lovely dinner together, and I not once did I have to yell at Lorynn for standing up on the seat and bugging the people behind us. (YES!)

Then as we were about to leave for our movie, I called the girls to say good night, and Brenna answered the phone in tears.. She is sobbing.. "Mom, I am so worried!".. And I am thinking.. Oh God, what happened.. Then my mom gets on the phone.. "Lorynn has stuck a bead up her nose and we can't get it out!" (insert dramatic sigh here) After a little bit of a chuckle.. I hear Lorynn screaming from the other room.. DRAT! Our one night away from the girls in what seems like since the day they came home from the hospital, and THIS?? DANGIT!!

So I start thinking of our options.. 1. We have to come home and take Lorynn to the ER for a bead extraction..(not exactly my idea of fun!) 2. I let my mom prod and poke and we pray that she can remove it.. We tried #2 for a while, and I quickly realized we needed reinforcements.. LUCKILY, one of our neighbors is a paramedic and he was actually home.. So.. After about another half hour of him trying, and Lori coming over to hold Lorynn's head still..(Thanks Lori!) The offending bead was removed.. WHEW! Needless to say we didn't feel like going out to the show after that ;)

The next day was Brenna's birthday..

Side Note:(Paul's b-day is the 18th, Brenna's is the 19th, and mine is the 21st.. Lorynn was supposed to be born on the 20th, but the little bugger came early)

So because it was Brenna's birthday we picked up the girls and stayed another night in PC. We really had a wonderful time! Our resort had all these children's activites, and Brenna and I tye-dyed some T-shirts, we swam and just played together. The resort had just opened for skiing, but we didn't go because me and ski's are just not a pretty picture.. Paul is a skier, and he snowboards too.. But I haven't been able to master it, or even just get the hang of it.. Ok.. I can't even snow plow! ;) Yes. Not a pretty picture at all.. Maybe Brenna and I should both take lessons this year..

Anyway... I am off to scrap some yummy photos, I am finishing up my Glow Element pack and should have it up to the store soon! :)

Happy Birthday To Me!! :)

"Today it is my birthday, and I sing to let you know, that I will be queen for the day; whatever I say goes!"

Hee.Hee.. Lorynn's new favorite show is the 12 Dancing Princess; so if you have seen the movie (over and over and over again) like me, then you know what I am singing about ;)

But today is my birthday and I have a little treat for you!!

I've got a new paper set in the shoppe today, but that's not the treat! ;) The treat is, that for today only, you can get this paper set free!



Glow Paper Set

I hope you enjoy them!! Element pack coming later next week :D Woohoo, Happy Birthday to me!!

We just got back from our Birthday Weekend Celebration!! We have spent the last three days up in Park City, UT. It's SO beautiful up there!! Oh, And do I have some stories to tell ya! ;) But I am walking out the door right now, I am on the search for a fabulous tree topper today, I've got my tree up and will be posting some photos later!!

WOOHOO!!!

Well I've just checked the total for our ThinkPink Kit and we are at $1025!! Woohoo!! We Did it, We Did it, We Did it, HOORAY!! (Sorry, I've been watching too many episodes of Dora the Explorer..)

But I am SO EXCITED that we were able to reach our goal!! Thank you to everyone who has contributed and helped that number to grow! :)

I've got another little Christmas goodie for you :)
I wanted to share this holiday label with everyone,



It's taken from my new Holiday Mini Cards.

Download it here :)

These cards are so adorable! They make the perfect little gift tags; But I am going to use them as place holders on my table for Thanksgiving! :)



This set is so much fun! It includes an envelope template (thank you Lori for trying it out for me!) and some Holiday Greeting Brushes. Plus a bonus Thanksgiving Card :)

I know I am in the Christmas Spirit a little bit early this year. Maybe it has something to do with all the fabulous Christmas Collections in the ScrapArtist Shoppe?? So much goodness there!
But I think it also has something to do with the fact that I just bought a beautiful new pre-lit Christmas Tree! :) And I went ALL OUT with new decorations. I am using the same colors as my Clair De Lune Kit; and I am going to use my papers to create a few ornaments to match.. I will be sure to take some pictures and post them here!!

We are hosting Thanksgiving at my house this year, and Brenna and I have decided to put up our new tree early. I have never put my tree up before Thanksgiving, and always laughed at people who did ;) (Oh no! I am crossing over!) But I will at the very least promise to not turn on my Christmas lights until after Thanksgiving ;)

A freebie and a coupon for you! :)

So I realized today that it was about time that I offer some kind of goodie on my blog, I haven't done it for a while! I have been so busy with deadlines and other projects, the thought hasn't even occurred to me, But I finished another Christmas kit the other day and I decided I wanted to share a coupon for it!



I think this is my favorite Holiday collection of all time ;) The papers are just so delicious, I want to decorate my walls with them! (Hmm. Maybe I will!) Christmas time is my favorite time of year, and Christmas papers are one of my most favorite things to make!! I could create them for hours and hours if I had the time, Maybe that is why I have 4 Christmas kits in the shoppe! OY!

But anyway.. The coupon ; ) It is good today through Saturday, November 11th.

Use code: XMAS25

at checkout to take 25% off this special Christmas kit :)Woohoo!!



And a cute little freebie for you ;)

I've made you some glitter stockings:



You can download it here, And I am thinking about some kind of fun promotion or contest this month for my birthday! Not sure what I will do, maybe give away a free kit? Hmm.. Better start thinking! :)

It's a beautiful day here today, I think the high is 65! So I am going to see if I can find a perfect autumn leaves spot for some photos of the girls, hope everyone has a great day! :)
