Come check out...

The on-line crop over at 2 Scrappy Chix Designs May 11-13. All of the DT members including us Guest Designers have some fab-o projects planned, check in Friday night for mine :) The fun starts at 6 p.m.

It's a girl!

So am I the best secret keeper or what?! We have been working with Northern Illinois Pug Rescue & Adoption over the past few weeks ironing out the details on adding another puggy to our family. Well yesterday after work I went and picked up the newest member of our family Pixie :) She is such a doll and Opie & Mugsy just adore her. I have had to pull a few scrapping supplies out of her mouth, but we'll work on that.

Happy Dance

O.k. so over at 2Peas today, they have their Garden Girls highlighting different scrappers and (gasp!) Rhonna Farrer picked a couple of my LOs to highlight! If this doesn't make a girl's day, I don't know what does :) You can check them out here & here & 1 more here

And because I can't have 2 posts without pictures here is my exhausted shipping clerk yesterday after boxing up a bunch of orders :)

Happy National Scrapbooking Day

So super stamper Sarah Moore has a fab little venture called Craft Critique that you should go check out. Various crafty folk are able to give their honest opinion on different craft products and techniques. It's a great resource for info on new products as well as great tips and some fun projects. Oh yeah, another reason to go check it out is that I wrote today's article Creative Scrapbook Supply Shopping :) There's even a picture of my camera shy face...shocking I know, a scrapper that is camera shy!

So my NSD activities are going to be pretty simple,I have to go to work this morning, but this afternoon I am going to pick up some Chinese take-out and lock myself in my scrapping room and not come out until it is cleaned up, that may mean I don't see the light of day until Monday!

She got me

So I found myself with a little free time after work yesterday so I decided to make my way over to Michaels to check out the new Martha Stewart Crafts line. I really didn't expect to find anything as I prefer brighter edgier stuff, but darn it all I ended up finding a couple of things I had to have! First off, how could I pass up these birdie stamps





















Here's a sneaky peak of a LO I am using them on
























These little journaling stickers were too cool to pass up

























And paper with lady bugs & fruit, I just know I can do something fun with that!

When pugs fly

and a funny out-take :)

Because 2 days without posting...

is too long, here is some randomness from the last few days.

My husband Bob complains that I never post anything about him, so here is a LO of him and Mugsy in their favorite place, the couch :)























I helped a friend move into her super cute new apartment this weekend...it's all cool and vintage-y























And I have another scrapping kit available on Etsy.

















I have a ton of stuff I am working on this week, and my Dad sent another fun outfit for Mugsy so a photoshoot is in the works!
