An Awesome Contest by MyPicTales

Earlier this summer in a "Works For Me Wednesday" post I mentioned that I was going to be getting some of my digital scrapbook layouts printed by MyPicTales. I was thrilled with the quality of the printing and the service. Now what I am hoping to win is their new contest. Click the image to go and check out the contest for yourself. Unless of course you don't want to create any competition in the contest -thereby increasing my odds of winning LOL!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Just a quick post to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving. Here is a darling photo I came across of my boys. They look so little! It was just 4 years ago. On this day I am so thankful for my boys and for my whole family and for good friends. And... well I gotta get going but my list is very long. I am so blessed!



There will be lots of great scrapbook sales going on with Black Friday. Here are a few of them from the Creative Teams I am on. Images are clickable to go to the stores.

Scrappy News

I'm keeping busy today and so I am going to be a bit lazy with this post today and not insert images. There are some good scrapbook sales and offers going on with my designers that I am on Creative Team for. Chrissy Williams has some fun new products out and there is a $1 sale at her shoppe today at Elemental Scraps. Click here to go check it out.

Ziggle Designs has a wonderful new kit out called Feisty. I asked her to design it after watching a YouTube video of what has now become my favorite song. You can see the video here and see what my new fav song is. Here is a link to Kami's blog where she is running a special on her new kit. I am now on my way out the door to go to our local CD shop where they say my new cd has come in that I ordered... yep it is the one with this song!

And.... Carina Gardner of Digi Nirvana has a beautiful new line that is now on sale for 15% off and there is an opportunity in the forum to win the entire line so go check it out here.

I do have layouts that use all of these wonderful new items from these designers and I hope to have more time later this week to share them with you. If you want to though you can click on the link to my gallery on the right column and go check out my work now. Have a great day!

The Preamble

Here is a Flashback Friday for my readers. You are as old as I am if you remember watching this and others in this series durring Saturday morning cartoons as a kid. Cheyenne was working on a poster about the preamble this month for her government class and when I sang this little tune over her shoulder she looked at me shocked and asked how I knew it. Guess they had watched this in her class. They had also watched the "I'm just a bill" clip. Remember that one too? Enjoy!
