some design work and a giveaway!

just a few 8x8" layouts i did for some guest design work for the paper pixie next month using her awesome tags :) i also made a mini book as well, which i'll post soon.

today was such a lazy day. i'm away from scott for the weekend & it's strange as i've become so used to seeing him every day. first time i didn't get a goodnight kiss in months.

i spent the majority of my day creating my own {today you} book out of the ali edwards template which i LOVE. sometimes it's so nice to be able to put together an entire scrapbook in a day-i'll post pics of this once it's complete---i can't wait to print this!

prepare yourself for some mild excitement..............i went to best buy today to buy the memory card for the new camera i [know] that i am getting for christmas--a canon digital rebel xs!!! hello happiness :) like i said...MILD excitement. i am aware that it's only mid-september.

and NOW FOR THE EXCITING NEWS.......i would love to do a giveaway for my 50th post, so all you lurkers out there----it's time to speak up! this is my 47th post so it's happening soon, but details to follow!

have a happy sunday,time for me to read and fall asleep with a good book :)

happy, relaxed & rejuvenated

my beautiful goddaughter eden. such a personality on this one. i recently edited these photos for a scrapbook i am making as a keepsake for her when she gets older. i just love the candid style photos you are able to capture with a child as your subject. i stumbled across this site and purchased these awesome ali edwards photoshop brushes. i can't wait til christmas when i get a nice digital slr for better pictures for scrapbooking and can purchase more fun elements from designer digitals!!!

finished up 2 more quilts but have yet to post them up in the shop. spent the day with the bf (he was off from work today) and painted our boards for the bag toss games we made for us and my parents. had such a wonderful relaxing and *fun* weekend up in door county with the family and bf. 3 solid hours of catch phrase and a sore tummy from laughing so hard, beautiful weather and lots and lots of memories.

i wish there was more summer left so i could go back up and enjoy the cottage again.

definitely next summer.

shop update!

hi hi hi :)

just finished a BIG shop update: new rag quilts, and LOTS of fun throw pillows, plus more to come over the next few days. let's just say i was VERY busy sewing during the olympics!

anyways, thought i'd give you a sneak peek, but if you want more pics or info, head on over to my shop!

i was up suuuuuuppper late last night (think 2:30am) editing some pictures of my goddaughter eden (the cutie patootie pictured above) for a scrapbook i am making. pictures coming soon!
