Well, National Scrapbooking Day was a blast! I got so many things into store after it was done. Here's a preview of a few new things in store:

So visit the store soon. You won't recognize it!

Wow!!! Yes it's true! Just about everything at 3Scrapateers.com - everything in my store for sure - is 40% off this weekend! By using coupon code NSD40 members can get 40% off their purchase of any items in the “browse all digital” category! So hurry! This sale ends on Sunday at midnight, EST.

Yes, it's true! The Mayan Coast paper pack received such great reviews, but with one tiny problem...the comments all pretty much said "WE WANT ELEMENTS, AND ALPHAS!". So, now, it's complete! Now, you don't get just papers and elements, but you get papers, elements and TWO alphas in the kit. Of course, if you want separate packs, that's possible since they are all separate packs, but save yourself some money and get the KIT!!! I know you'll love it! Can't wait to see the layouts done with this one!

It's here! Wedding in Bloom Blue is now in store!! I've had many people ask for something NOT purple, more in the blues, so it's here too!

So visit my store...there's so much new stuff in there you won't recognize it!!!

I've been working on some bright papers for a new give-away! So get your sunglasses out and scrap away! If you like it, and snag them, please leave me a comment. Thanks!

Here it is folks...the final product. Thanks for all the suggestions - very creative!

Name it and win it!! I've done up this bright eclectic paper pack for the spring, but I can't come up with a name! So if you think you have the perfect name, and want it for free, then post a comment with your best name, and I'll pick a winner tomorrow morning!

Thanks for playing!

Wow! Today's been a trip!

That's the only way to describe it because I feel like it's been an emotional rollercoaster all day! Today started great! My wonderful hubby baked FRESH buttermilk biscuits for me for breakfast this morning, which I had with some nice strawberry jam. Then when I got to work, everyone seemed to be in a cheery mood, and the floor was much cooler than the sauna I walked into yesterday, that was my office.

So, no meetings scheduled. However, my boss called me into a private impromptu meeting which led to the first wave..."oh no, what have I done now". :)

Turns out it wasn't about me. It was about a co-worker who is paid more than $20K more than me a year, and she is surfing the internet during regular hours, and can't even produce a work breakdown or estimate project plan. So, do we take the internet away, or is it critical to her job. I guess I've become my boss' sounding board more or less. So we talk about that. And she tells me that she wants me to deliver my part of the project on Friday which is no problem, because it's done.

Onto hill number 2. Hubby calls and says that there's been an offer made on the building, and the potential buyer has no intention of moving in, so we have less worries. BUT they are coming to inspect the place, tomorrow, at 6:00 p.m. When am I supposed to have dinner?

Onto hill number 3. We have a dinner invitation at the neighbours on Thursday night. Yay!

Onto hill number 4. We have an after lunch meeting with the supervisors, who at one point in the meeting deem to call themselves professionals, and imply that my boss and I are not. And everything wrong with the project has nothing to do with the one gal. And the other gal is supervising my staff informally on the sidelines, and telling me how to do my job. Oh, yay!

Hill number 5, and it's the last one, for now. :) - I get an email from a client who has accumulated some feedback (solicited I'm sure) from students I taught last week, and has sent the comments to everyone and their dog, without consulting me first. Thank goodness my boss went to bat for me and called her supervisor to complain. With no reply. ugh.

Hill number 6 - there is new legislation soon that will allow hubby to sponsor his daughter to immigrate to Canada, even if his ex-wife is not helping the process by not allowing for a medical check or completing paperwork. Yay! Originally, if she had refused, that was his one chance to be able to sponsor her, ever. Now, the door is open for the future.

Onto the final good news for the night...I'm going to have some new stuff in store this week, and I'm now the Head CT person for Scrap2Basics.net - an amazing boutique with talent. It's too bad that this little site doesn't get the recognition it should! There are some amazing people there, like Pamela Gibson, Monica Larsen and Sus Designs. People need to know about this site. They have an amazing Mega Kit this month that HAS to be seen.

And the most amazing part of my day....I got to finally have a good long chat with Row! She's been sorely missed, and I'm glad to have her back to laugh with and carry on like schoolgirls. She's a dear dear friend. The kind you find only a few times in your life.

And for my stuff...well here's a little preview of things to come very shortly! The first is a page from a special request at 3Scrapateers.com - it's called Oh Baby Ba-BEE!

Wedding season is just around the corner, and if you've got a bride-to-be who's not using purple, then why not blue? Next is a page from the Wedding in Bloom - Blue kit.

And finally, an element pack to accompany the Mayan Coast Paper Pack will be hitting the store soon, as well as two different alpha packs.

So get ready, it will be a busy week at 3Scrapateers.com

IT'S HERE!!! We are one step closer to permanent residency! Hubby's FBI certificate FINALLY arrived in the mail today!! Needless to say, I'm ecstatic!

On another note, we have someone coming to visit the apartment on Saturday, so there goes my relaxing plans for Friday night....cleaning time. But if I have it planned just right, then I'll actually have 3 of my new element packs in store and I'll have a chance to do some more designing for a couple of hours. I really want to get my Baseball kit done! And I have a Baby Shower kit to do as well.

I've had a chance to do some layouts lately, and I've been invited to be Tracy Rivera's guest CT member for 4 weeks, starting this week! I'm really excited about that. She has great kits, and I'm really anxious to start scrapping the pics of my grandmother and her family - great heritage pics!

Where is spring? Today was the warmest day of the week - for a high of 7C....oh yay! Not.

Today we visited Mom and took down her temporary garage, even though there is a forecast for snow/rain all week. Yuck. But it needed to be done, and she certainly can't do it herself. So my hubby and I worked outdoors to get it down, and fortunately it wasn't too hard. But it was really nice to have a pleasant visit with Mom.

She shared some amazing photos with me, that her sister sent her of her parents, who have both passed away...my grandfather passed away 4 years ago, and my grandmother late spring last year. It's a sad time of year for my mom right now, because I'm sure she's missing her mom. So I'm going to do something special with the pictures she got. I'm going to make her an album of the pictures. Some are absolutely priceless, like the one of my grandmother as a young girl, and pictures of my mom as a baby with my glamorous grandmother. I really miss her.

Scanning these pictures makes me think of her more, and how much I wish I had visited her more often in her last days. When we knew the end was only a day or so away, everyone said it was the last chance for a visit, but I decided not to visit. I remember vividly being with my grandfather in his last days, when he was barely conscious, holding his hand at the side of his bed, praying desperately that he not be in pain and that he survive his cancer, and he passed the next day, while I was driving to their apartment. I remember seeing him before the funeral home employees took him and it's a memory that will haunt me. I didn't want my memories of my grandmother to be tainted by the same type of surrounding and circumstances. I wanted to remember her more vital, her quirky sense of humour, her smile.

My brother and Mom went to see her and they felt that her passing was imminent because she was so frail and sick. But the next day she seemed to revive and was more herself, but she passed that day. In some ways I regret not visiting her that day. It saddens me that the last time I saw her was in the hospital and not in my aunt's home, where we could have tea together.

I miss them terribly, and that's why it is so important to me to get this album right. If you have any suggestions for some wonderful heritage kits, please post them in the comments.

Thanks.

Today was the dreaded allergist appointment. Suffice to say, I was not thrilled because of the prospect of having a severe reaction while being tested. I was referred to the allergist due to my food allergies which have cropped up over the years, from about the time of 21 or so. Turns out I have Oral Allergy Syndrome. To read about it, click here.

Now, while I now know what the problem is, I'm not entirely pleased with the diagnosis, because it is not black and white. This means that it is very likely that I will develop more food allergies in the future to various cross-pollenating foods, like apples, pears and cucumber. What's even more thrilling (not) is that I'm one of the rare individuals who has severe reactions to these foods, namely anaphylactic shock. The good news...as long as the foods have the proteins cooked out of them, and are basically, then, mush, I can eat them safely. Sigh.

Well that's the start to my week. Bloody Caesar anyone? Oh, that's right. Can't have one because of the raw celery. I'll just stick with the spicy Clamato then.

Well, it's almost the end of a long, long weekend. It was nice to not have to leave the apartment unless we want to for 4 whole days. Got lots done for designing, got the use of my camera a bit, and did a few layouts.

I've worked on some alpha packs for Mayan Coast, and an element pack for the same paper pack. It will be in store soon. Plus, I've got a new kit coming into store soon, so look for it. It's called Wedding in Bloom, and hopefully I'll actually get around to scrapping my own wedding photos using this kit. My theme was purple tulips, and this was a special request for the same theme, so I just had to do it. :)

And to celebrate my time off, and a new logo created for me by Gemma Clarke, I decided to make a cute kit for all the boys who are just waiting to start baseball!!! Plus there are some tags there that can be used for any heritage kit, because they are a little classier.

You can download it here. And please be a nice digiscrapper and leave me comments on it. Thanks.

Have a great week, and keep your eyes out for the new designs coming to 3Scrapateers.com from Kiki Scraps Designs.

So finally the construction is over. The mould is gone. The walls are filled, but now we have to paint. Fun. All the same, I'm glad it's finally over!

It's going to be a nice long long weekend. I don't go back to work until Tuesday now, but my landlord called and said he'd like to have people in to see the apartment, with less than 24 hours notice. I can't wait until he sells this place, because quite frankly I'm just really really sick of him. He tries to pull stuff like increasing the rent by $75 a month, one week before rent is due, wakes me and my husband up on a Saturday morning to shovel a little bit of snow off the lawn, and fertilize the grass - and now it's snowed....! He doesn't have a clue what he's doing! But boy he's got nerve.

I finally got a new camera, which I'm anxious to use so that I can use the kits I have to the fullest! Hopefully I'll be able to get a bit of time this weekend to play with it, and do some scrapping for a change. Especially wedding shots from 2 years ago.

Well I know it's a holiday for most, so have a great one!!

Well, it's been a busy weekend - productive, inspiring, tiring. I got a lot done this weekend and am really looking forward to my extra long weekend on Thursday.

A few new things hit the store this week. I did them up special for a bunch of gals that I chatted with on Saturday. These folks have all adoped from Asia and are scrapbooking for their children. I think it's a wonderful idea and I applaude all of them! Here's what they received at the chat, for having me as their first guest designer.

And of course there is another companion mini-kit, Panda Play.

Both are available exclusively at 3Scrapateers.com

On a sad note, one of the original members of my CT bowed out today. Chrystina, who many of you know as lilaclady is a great gal, and it was a pleasure to have her on my team and she'll be missed. She's enthusiastic and has a passion for life and her children and it shows in her scrapbooking. All the best to you in everything you to Chrystina! I'll miss having you on the team.

And finally, for today that is...I've heard that some of you actually like my designs. :) So I decided to do up a blinkie for those of you that might like to have it. You never know....if I spot it in your signature at 3Scrapateers or Digishoptalk, you might just get an invitation to guest for me on my creative team.

Finally, I have those kits in store. Phew! Lots of work went on this week!

Enjoy them at 3Scrapateers.com!!

I thought I'd post just a few things as teasers for you. These little gems will be going into store soon, so keep your eyes open for them!

These will be available as separate purchases.

These complimentary mini-kits were inspired by Japanese designs and photos from a friend, Gemma.

Ahhh, the joys of spring. We had our first spring thunderstorm here today. But I had a bright smile on my face all day. I decided on my summer vacation time and got a preview of my summer vacation in an email today. I have a feeling that I'll need to make a beach kit soon. :)

On another note, I've had a request for a baseball kit, so I'll be doing a mini kit soon. Hope your Monday was as good as mine, and that you have a great week!

Well it's been a busy day! I've finally finished two kits and got them into the store. The first is Mayan Coast. I was inspired by blue waters and Aztec gold. It's a steal at $2.50!

Next comes Pigskin Party. This was a special request kit that I had real fun making! It was a challenge for me, since I don't have children and although I scrap my neice and nephews, they aren't into sports yet. It's $2.75 in store.

You can get them both at 3Scrapateers.com -click here to get to the store.

And now for the freebie I've done up special, continuing on a spring theme.

Download here

I'd love to see your layouts with it, and please post comments if you enjoyed the freebie.

Well we had someone in today, a potential buyer, to look at the apartment. We actually got it into shape enough to show it, but again, there goes my weekend spent on cleaning and showing. At least my Saturday.

My neice Anna and Mom showed up later, which was a real treat. Anna loves my cat Whiskey now, although at first she wouldn't go anywhere close to him. She made us a beautiful drawing while we had tea, popcorn and suishi! LOL

Thursday night I made about 120 pieces of suishi for my co-workers. DH came to work for lunch too. I played some Japanese music on the computer and we had a Japanese lunch at work. I've been inspired to do Japanese a lot lately. When you visit my store next week, you'll see a new kit there, with a Japanese theme.

Thursday night was also the 3Scrapateers Meet the New Designer's Chat. It went very well. I gave away a fun freebie, and got to know quite a few!

Friday night we cleaned up a bit, and just took it easy. So I worked on the Japanese kit, a paper pack and some contributions to kits for 3Scrapateers.com - I know you'll love them!

Oh, and I've been invited to be the special guest at a chat on Saturday, March 31st at 9:00 EST. I'll link you up later, and hopefully you can attend too!

Some mouldy photos from our bedroom - having to do with all the idiocy we've been dealing with the past week.

These were behind our heads, behind the bed.

The bedroom window.

The bedroom closet

Oh, and the corner right near my side of the bed (one foot away).

Now for some good news. The contractor got a hold of me today, and is coming for his first inspection/work on Wednesday morning. They WILL be opening the walls, and I WILL be having the city inspector on site to make sure that things are dealt with properly, that is to say, the mouldy walls and if they find mould on any studs behind the walls, the room will be sealed.

That is not to say that I know what will happen to the bedroom for the time during the period of work. If they can work in 3.5 feet of space, then power to them. If not, we get temporarily relocated to sleeping somewhere else, but it sure as heck won't be the living room couch, or the kitchen floor. So someone had better be prepared for that one, because it's not my fiscal responsibility.

More good news - hmmmm. I've got a few new kits in the works, including a Japanese kit, a Moroccan kit, and a football kit. Look for them at the store soon.

AND.....how could I forget!!!! I'll be having a sale very soon....keep your eye out for that one!

Well, got some more phone calls from the landlord's wife. First saying that the contractor will be coming sometime this week, but probably won't call first. I don't think so. We are entitled to notice. So I called back, informed the landlady (if she can be called a lady) and told her that I want to be here for the original inspection, and that I have a city inspector who wants to be present during the work. Well that pissed her off I'm sure. It was just hidden under the surface you know. So again I explained that we'd probably have to be vacated from the apartment during the work in the bedroom. So she says, well just move the bed. The bed right now is actually against my dresser - to the point where I have to move the bed to open the drawers, and there is only 3.5 feet at the end of the bed to the wall. So, hmmm....where should I move the bed when they do their work? The kitchen? So I'm probably going to have to be moved. This did not bode well.

So it's obvious that if they are to work in the bedroom, we'll need to be in a hotel. And again, LL not too happy, but as I said, not having a bed to sleep on, or access to the bedroom certainly doesn't constitute peaceable enjoyment of the premises, which I'm entitled to, and I'm not financially responsible for temporary vacancy. She said that she's going to find out what their rights are as owners....well let's see, you have a right to make sure my apartment doesn't make me sick, is habitable, and when it isn't, you have the right to pay for my hotel, my breakfast, lunch and dinner, and make sure the work gets done quickly.

Pisses me off. So she called back and said she informed the contractor that there will be a city inspector onsite, and that she wants representation there too, during the original evaluation, and that she'll translate for my husband. I don't think so. So I'll be off one day for that, then who knows about the work being done on the apartment. This is just way too out of hand.

This just in.... lol

Okay, so the latest scoop is this. After the big fight with the landlord's bitchy wife, who tells me they will have to send a letter to the contruction company, I get an email this morning telling me that they got a hold of the contractor and have given them my number to find arrange a time to fix the problem. Did I get a call today? Nope. Not from them anyhow.

Instead I got a hold of a city building inspector! Yay! He says it sounds like the landlord is trying to get away with murder and do the bare minimum so he can sell the building. When I told him about the mould, and say that I'd like him to inspect once the work is done, he pipes up "No! I am going to be there when the work takes place so that we know they've done it right! Mould has to be removed with a very specific procedure!" Yay! Someone finally in my corner!!! So when I explained about the LL telling me that it will be the construction company that does the work, and that I have 0% confidence that they have informed them of the mould problem, the inspector says "I know the guys at the company. I'll call them to make sure that they are indeed the ones who are contracted to do the work and that they know about the mould, and I'll get back to you." A silver lining! A knight in shining armour! Okay, I exagerate, but I feel like I've been fighting the stress of my health concerns now, my future health concerns, fighting against the red tape that is my only recourse, and fighting the feelings that if I didn't insist we live in this tiny apartment during the immigration process to save money, we wouldn't be in this predicament. Finally, I'm starting to feel better about the situation.

On to more positivity, I had the wonderful privilege of doing some RAKs for folks on DST these past few days. I wanted people to write 3 dreams in the present tense, or write them like they've already happened...and let me tell you, they came up with some doozies. I was brought to tears at work reading them. It was like I paid myself a random act of kindness by having people write their dreams, because they brought me real perspective. So for those that might have participate who read this...thank you.

In return - I gave each person their own copy of Dream Board to scrap those 3 dreams. Look was Tenessa did with her's...

I have received so much support from my fellow digiscrappers! I particularly wanted to thank some new friends, like Pamela Gibson, an amazing designer who sells here at Scrap2Basics.





She gave me a GC to perk me up...want to see what I picked up?

Thanks again Patricia!!!

Okay, quite honestly I'm really sick, tired and exhausted from this whole ordeal. Basically a building inspector came over and said yes, there is water behind the wall, and it needs to be dealt with. So now the landlord has to go to the construction company and tell them to fix it in the next 15 days because that's the expiry of their guarantee. So not only am I stuck here, but we are stuck living like this for possible 15 days or more, knowing the drywall is going to be cut out, then replaced, and then painted.

So then I called the landlord and was explicit about how they need to have mould removal specialists so that my allergies are not affected (as they have been for the past few days). Well his wife called back, all nasty, and basically shot legal-ese at me for 5-10 minutes saying that it wasn't their problem. Beg to differ hon. I called the Rental Board. Anyhow, get the work done, and get this over with, and get the place sold and get out of my site.

I can't wait for this place to sell now and have the new landlord. That might give me an out.



On the plus side.....a layout using my kit below, Dream Board, is being published in Scrapbooking Memories. The layout is by the talented Rowena Grall (who's a CT member), who used the kit to create her own dream board - the cover of Scrapbooking Memories. Well she didn't make the cover, but they are publishing the layout! So dream boards work folks!

Way to go Row! So proud of you!

Well after not being able to sleep too well on the bed in the middle of the floor, we finally did get some sleep last night and had to bring in the truck for service we had scheduled last week.

Now the landlord is sending a housing inspector who specializes in water damage. Looks like there are other water leakage on the street. There are currently four trucks for disaster cleanup - like one my mom had for her flood.

The good news - we found an apartment where we can move in April 1st if we want to and it is within our budget although it is $300 more per month. But it's a two-bedroom, which is what we want.

I'm anxious to see what the inspector says. In the meantime, there is still mold in the apartment, although the landlord killed it, but it is still an allergen for me. The landlord seems to think that all you have to do is wipe the surface with cleaner. Not exactly Einstein. I'm frustrated and at this point I just want out.

I'm not a happy camper with my landlord right now.

He called yesterday around lunch to tell me that he was he informed my hubby this past fall that he was thinking of selling the building, and he's going to list this Monday, which means a realtor comes in to take pictures. I'm not Martha Stewart, I'm not FlyLady. I am making due with a 600 sq ft apartment with me, hubby, our two cats, and our stuff accumulated since our wedding two years ago while waiting for hubby's immigration to be finalized. It's what we can afford, and we were living comfortably in this cluttered space. But now, I somehow have to make it look spaceous, and cozy. Ain't gonna happen. We give it our best college try.

I tried re-organizing the bedroom closet, and move my wedding dress and other dresses I rarely wear these days and voila! Mold. I have a green wall. I'm highly allergic to mold and my health has been deteriorating in the last few months, with no real explanation, until now. So now, because my landlord is selling, this means he'll HAVE to get the wall ripped apart to replace the moldy wall. Great.

I'm so miffed right now I could eat a whole tub of Cherry Garcia in one sitting!

Update: I'm going to scream, heck I've screamed already. DH decided to pull the bed away from the wall, and we found black mold all in the corner, and on the wall behind the bed. The floor is wet from leakage, and my bed frame is actually rusted from the moisture (it's only 2 years old).Plus DH just discovered that there's a leak in the bathroom as well.What makes me the most angry right now is that we would normally be required to give 3 months notice if we were not renewing our lease, which ends this month. The landlord said nothing until this weekend, probably knowing that I wouldn't renew. Now we are locked into the lease for another year, unless we sublet, and who will sublet this place? I'm so angry!!!!

I'm about to lose my mind!

Well this should have been a lazy weekend, just me and hubby enjoying each other's company, maybe staying in bed late, going for a walk in the neighbourhood, going to Chapter's to see if the new Digital Scrapbooking Magazine is in yet. But that's not going to happen.

Yesterday our landlord called to say he's putting the building up for sale. And that realtors will be here on Monday to take pictures. Pictures. Great. How about pictures of a 600 sq ft apartment where 2 people live with 2 cats, and let's make it look appealing. It's not. It's too small, and we haven't even unpacked our wedding gifts from 2 years ago because I have 1.5 cupboards above the counter, and 1.5 cupboards below. We bought a storage shelf from Ikea to fit our appliances on, and still it's not enough. We have cookbooks too - those need room. The bedroom - well, there's no place for 4 seasons of clothes - so most are in storage in the only little storage spot we have, under the stairs.

I have a feeling that the realtor will take one look and tell the landlord he's better not to have pictures, because it just looks like there's not enough room - and that would be the truth. But I still have to make an effort to hide what we can to make it look like Martha freaking Stewart decorated it herself.

So I've resigned myself to moving around what we can to make it more appealing to the realtor, and we are still going to Chapter's today!

They're here! I've finished my first element pack, Seal the Deal. These are cute wax seals that you can use for your spring layouts using papers like, Spring Reborn.

You can find them exclusively at 3Scrapateers.com by clicking here.

I needed to make my own dream board. What is a dream board? It's a hard copy of photos of what you want for your future. Mine is full of pictures of Prince Edward Island (my summer vacation, where we want to buy property), a picture of a cottage (that we will build on the property), a new car, and a photo of a 5 star resort somewhere in the South Pacific. You use the board to visualize your future.

So if you want to make a dream board, check out Dream Board at 3Scrapateers.com - believe in your dreams and they can happen! They will happen! Here's to your future!

Get it here!

I know that I absolutely loved working on these papers. It's the second paper pack I've made, but I really wanted this pack to be light and airy. Spring is in the air....spring is my favourite time of year. I got married in the spring and will celebrate my second anniversary this spring. But I'm the one giving gifts to you! I hope that you'll enjoy Spring Reborn, and if you do, please leave me a comment and link me up to your layouts.

Well, I have to say that I am very pleased with my most popular kit, Asian Harmony. It still seems to be my best seller at 3Scrapateers.com - It was a challenge, but well worth the time it took to make it.

It's in the store now! Purple Haze was inspired by a hippy, groovy feeling one Friday night. It was a lot of fun to create!

It's true! I'm not at Deco-Pages.com or The Daily Scrap anymore. I'm now at 3Scrapateers.com exclusively! Right now, I'm moving over my kits a bit at a time, while working on some new items, such as Tahitian Tapestry.

It will be in store soon. Look for the announcement on 3Scrapateers.com!

Hey everyone. I've been keeping busy, working on different collaboration kits, mega kits and of course, my own kits for sale. I've had fun with these ones so I hope you enjoy them as much.

Asian Harmony is available for sale at 3Scrapateers.com and Funky Cool is currently being reworked for sale later!

Wow, it's a few new kits!

I'm been busy trying to get a few kits out, especially since I've been home sick with this terrible cough/bronchitis.

I hope you'll check out these great kits and drop me a line when you make a layout with them.

This great kit is available at Deco-Pages.com - and you can click here to see it.

This kit is also at 3Scrapateers.com - click here to see it.

Santorini Sunset is available at 3Scrapateers.com, here.

There are more great kits coming soon, so keep your eye on my blog and you'll get some sneak peeks of what's coming!

Well, I've been fooling around with designing new elements. I was inspired by the leather flower brooches that used to be popular in the early 80s. Yeah, I'm a little sentimental... LOL.

Hope you enjoy these and add some whimsy to your layouts.


You can download them here.

It's official! My hubby has been approved to immigrate. We just have to pass the normal stuff like background checks.

I've got some more CT members, which I'm thrilled about. And I've got a new computer so I should be able to put out way more elements and kits because I finally have speed. 2 gigs of RAM ought to fix me for a while.

Wow, yeah I guess I have been neglecting my blog. :)

I now have a creative team! Six wonderful ladies have joined the Scrappy Doodles team! And they do great great work! I'm really blessed to have that talent to work with!

On a personal front, I have some good news! We have an interview for something very important in our lives on Nov. 30th. Exciting! If you don't have a clue what it might be, email me. But most of you do. Yes, the process is almost over! Finally!

I'm currently working on some new kits. One's a heritage kit, the other, dinosaurs...Yes, dinos again. I've redone the Dinoriffic kit and am working on the Scraposaurus kit!

Well I think it's safe to say that I have a first CT! I'm still taking applications, but it is here, and growing! I'm really excited!!

I think part of the fun of doing digital scrapbooking is getting people's constructive criticism, get inspired by others and sharing tips and tricks. The digital scrapbooking community is so cool. Everyone is so helpful and fun!

Well it's going to be another busy week. I'm training again this week, and I'm also hoping to get out there and take some new photos. We got our first snow on Sunday, but I was too sick to go out and actually take some cool shots.

I'm working on a new heritage kit which is a real challenge for me. I've never done one, and to tell you the truth it's not easy for me to think of elements to use. But I'm learning. I'll post my new kit on here once it's ready.

Well this was a very busy week. I had lots of presentations and courses at work, and I got a new kit into the store. Dinoriffic is now available. Yay! I hope that it will be used for some cute layouts. I did one of my neice and nephew at the dinosaur museum.

I made this kit for my nephew Liam. I hope he enjoys this page.
