My AWESOME CT!!!

So, DH and I were leaving the house on Christmas Eve to go to my dad’s house. On the way out, we stopped at the mailbox.  In it was a package FROM MY CT!! Here is what the outside said:

Of course, I had my camera with me since we were on our way to see family on Christmas Eve!  And, of course I couldn’t wait until we got to my dad’s to open it.  So, I made DH pull into a gas station parking lot so he could take pics while I opened it!  LOL!

Anyway, my super wonderful CT had made me a little book.

IMG_6654

Each member had created a couple of pages for me and the awesome Knittinjen put it all together in a little book and sent it to me! I wasn’t expecting anything like that and it literally brought tears to my eyes!  How awesome are these ladies?!  I’m telling ya…I reckon I got me the best CT around! 

Here are a couple of the car pics:

Yep…that’s a stocking full of switches!  Yep…he’s a smart allec!  LOL!!! 

Hope you all had a fantastic holiday!!  And those that don’t celebrate, I hope you had a great weekend!!

Never Give Up Charity Kit

So, as many of you know, one of my CT gals, Noelle is very involved in the Special Olympics. Her daughter, Chawndell, has competed in the Special Olympics for years. Obviously, Noelle has LOTS of photos from these events and she needed a kit to go with her photos! So she asked me to make a kit for her. Her only request was that it have purple in it, to match Chawndell’s team colors (go Golden Spikers!!)

So, I made the kit. Then, I decided that the Special Olympics was such a worthy cause that I wanted to donate the money from the kit to them. So, all profits that I receive from Never Give Up from now until my birthday (2/5/10…put in it your calendars. LOL) will go to the Special Olympics!! Here is a preview of all the products from this kit (all images are linked to the item in the store):

AND…Noelle has made some word art, too! She will have it on her blog sometime this week, so be on the lookout for that!

Wanna free winter kit??

One of my CT gals, Susan, has an awesome freebie on her blog today!!!! It's a kit called Winterlicious; and I was lucky enough to play with it yesterday. It actually snowed here a couple of weeks ago (of course, it melted about 45 minutes after dawn broke, but it was pretty for a while). So, I actually had snow pics to scrap!!

Christmas Wedding freebie

Did you think I’d forgotten about your freebie? Well, I did! LOL! Just like I’ve forgotten everything else this week! Man, I tried to think it was a little emergency (not mine) yesterday, but I’m starting to think now that it just might be this crazy Christmas season! I’ve been stressed for DAYS!! (my poor poor husband)!

Anyway, the FIRST freebie is a little blog wear, created by my wonderful CT member and very good friend, Susan. She used the Christmas Wedding kit for this blogwear and it’s on her blog if you want to check it out.

Here’s a reminder of the kit:

You can download the blogwear here.

Oh, and there will be another freebie before the weekend is over......

Speed Scrap!!!

Okay, I have totally screwed up!  I was supposed to host a speed scrap today, but in all the excitement of the holiday (and a little emergency…not mine, but one that got me distracted), I TOTALLY forgot!  What a loser!  LOL! Anyway, I’ve rescheduled it for tomorrow at the same time, and the PP is going to be a surprise, but it will be something TOTALLY awesome!  I really hope to see you all there!!

A Christmas Wedding

Well, we just celebrated our 3 year wedding anniversary last week (the 16th). And, in honor of that, I created a new kit called A Christmas Wedding. Since the church where we got married was decorated for Christmas, those were pretty much our wedding colors.  That’s how I came up with the palette…and I added some blue to match my mom’s dress!  :)  So, I’m hoping there are some folks out there who got married at Christmas and can use this kit.  Even if not, it makes a great Christmas kit! Here are the previews:

SOE_ACW_fullpreview

I really love the dark and light of this kit!  I also made a few little additions that are in my store, too!

solid papers:
