What I Picked!

I won one kit from every Gotta Pixel designer. Here is what I chose:

Father of Mine by Stacy Carlson

Garden Party 2 by Connie Prince

Flip Flop Summer by Kathryn Mhire

Honey by Colleen Shibley

Rescue Team by Michelle Swadling

Lullaby for Chase by Sarah Meyer

Small World by Gary Fryns

Summer Sorbet by Lynne Simmons

Punk Glam by Tenessa Allen

Always Thankful by Michelle Pieters

All About the Alphaebet by Christina Wall

All Aboard by Paula Yagisawa

Earth Song by Brenda Miller

I WON!!!

While finishing buying Paula Yagisawa's $2 Grab Bag at Gotta Pixel, Stacy (Fortissimo, Site Administrator) IMed me saying "Congrats! You are our 1000th order."
This is so cool that Gotta Pixel has had 1000 orders!! The amazing thing is that I won 1 kit from every designer at Gotta Pixel!!!! They have some amazing designers. The hardest thing is going to be to choose which kits I want because I just love all of the ones that they have.
The funny thing is, I was just so excited to get Paula's grab bag and see the amazing goodies in there, that I had already felt like a winner. That was defintely a well spent $2.

Never even heard of blog tag, but I’m it (thanks to Holli!)-

This time its 7 things about me:

1. Schools out for summer! I just wish that meant I really had time off.

2. I have an obsession with digi-scrapping, which drives my husband up the wall.

3. I can touch my tongue to my nose, yet my son was tongue tied.

4. Sarcasm is a major part of my life because my husband uses it all the time. I sometimes like it and sometimes it just annoys me.

5. I hate thunder and lightning!

6. I am secretly addicted to musicals.

7. Part of me really looks forward to fall and a new set of students to shape and mold.

Now who am I gonna tag? I tag SarahB and the people who leave a comment here!

NYC 2003

My husband, mom, and I spent the day (and night) in New York city because of the blackout that was all over the East Coast. We walked from Battery Park (we were on Ellis Island when the power went out) all the way to Penn Station. It was an amazing walk that took us past Ground Zero, Wall Street, and SoHo. We would have never seen all of these things if we had not had the power go out.

2 More Digital Candy Layouts

Birthday Card

My husband's teaching partner had her birthday yesterday and I finally got to make her card.Fonts are Kindergarten and Pass the Chex. The kit is Cupcake Cutie by Sarah Meyer. It can be purchased at Digital Candy. I really love how fun it is. Perfect for those birthday celebrations. To check out more about Sarah, check out her blog, Scraps of Fun.

Lullaby for Chase

I am in love with Sarah Meyer's new kit, Lullaby for Chase. The soft colors are perfect for a sweet little boy. I can't wait to get my hands on this kit because Peter will look adorable with it.

Check it out for yourself at Gotta Pixel or Digital Candy.

Go Ducks!

This was a present that we got for when my son was born. He was probably 9 or 10 weeks here and in 6 month clothing. We didn't mind because he fit in his U of O outfit in time for football season!

Holli Hobbi

Often, when you are a digital scrapbooker, you don't actually ever meet anyone else who does it. There are a bunch of online friends and communities. But to know someone face to face in the "real" world, is rare. Well, one of the Mom's of one of my preschool students is very active in scrapbooking. Her scrapbook name is Holli Hobbi. She has a wonderful blog that even has freebies. Well, yesterday I got the great news that I was going to be a Candy Girl, Creative Team member for Digital Candy. This morning I found out that she too is a CT for them. What a small world? It will be wonderful to still be able to be in touch with her and be able to see her amazing layouts of her children.

Check Holli's blog.

I've got news!!

I e-mailed in about Digital Candy's CT (Creative Team) Call this morning. By this afternoon, I had already been accepted. I am very excited. Plus, there are some designers from Gotta Pixel who are selling there too! Double bonus. I should have some layouts soon.

My son likes to stuff his whole muffin in his mouth. I got at the camera and he become mister show off.
