Oh my!!...More Teacher's Pet Entrys

OMGosh!! This thing is awesome! Saving some of the best for last. I wasn't lying when I said over 100 mini kits. hee,hee :) Go to the category "FPG Teachers Pet" to see all my previous posts with the previews, links and instructions. Your on your own to get the last of them after this post. Have FUN! I hope everyone has enough hard drive space...ROFL!!

Btw...I don't know how long you will be able to download them. Sometimes they will disable them shortly after the deadline. Also note, I'm sure their server is pretty bogged down, especially in prime time. Try back at quieter times to get faster download speeds and less errors. :)

What scrapbooking item are you?

I don't usually do these but was curious and "what the heck"??

1108054583_erstickers.jpg

You are STICKERS!
You like brightening things up in life and decorating your living space with your own personal style. You are versatile and able to get things done with a stick-to-it attitude. People love your colorful personality and personal flair! You like exploring new things and are willing to try anything once. But Stickers beware - sometimes you like to stick to someone that you like a little too much and take them into your confidence a little too easily. Your personality tends to make you a steadfast friend, but make sure the friends you choose are worth your efforts!

Interesting.....hee,hee :)

Go here if you want to try for yourself.

Lol!

"Monday Blues"...this has to cheer us up!

Good morning everyone!! Boy do I have a lot of catching up to do!! Lol :) The designers have been way busy creating lots of lovely designs for us and I still have a pile of stuff to weed through. If I give you something that has already been out for a while...just smile and say "she has been gone for over a week, what do ya expect?" ROFLMBO :) I still have all my emails and comments to go through, so don't think I've forgotten anyone.

My shoulder is slowly getting better. I will probably be back to work after the first week in August which will be nice. I miss the regular pay check!! hee,hee:) Enjoying the summer and all it has brought so far. We have company here at our house at the moment (chaos, chaos)...DBFs two girls and his Mom. Lot's of camping, movies, and quality time together...I will miss those girls when they go. I didn't get to do as much with them this year because of the stupid shoulder and my "sister reunion" overlapping with their visit. Makes it that much sweeter when next year arrives, but I will try to make the best of the time we have left. I want to get some pics up...oooooh when will I find the time!! Lol :)

Well I'll be back later with more catch up stuff...probably a "Round 2" from the way things are looking. Enjoy this "Blue Monday"...hopefully I helped make it not quite so blue. hee,hee :)

Awesome Layouts...a few of my favorites

The "AWESOME" thing revealed...

Okay, Okay...I know I said I would come back and tell you the AWESOME thing that happened to me this weekend, so here I am. Almost didn't make it back today, but I think I can squeeze this post in before midnight if I type REALLY fast! hee, hee :) Got side tracked with "Life"...sorry.

Well ya know, I do none of this expecting anything in return...so it was the most unexpected and AWESOME thing when I GOT RAKed!! I have read others talking about this, but with out having it happen to me, I really wasn't sure how it all worked. Now I know!! And it's so easy peasy. You just get an email with presents just "because". How AWESOME is that! Guess that's why it is called a "Random Act of Kindness"...name definately fits.

The email came "Special Delivery" courtesy of Andrea (Boyerville Scraps)..now I will share what I got.

First kit (yes there was 2!!!) was Andrea's gorgeous kit Affirmation
Available at Benevolent Boutique, Designs in Digital, and Wenchd Grafix



Second was Kim's gorgeous kit Softly Sweet.
You can see it in her store here and if you head on over to her blog, she might just have an add-on freebie to match!!



Well I can't wait to get scrapping with these two beautiful kits. Andrea and Kim will be first and you bloggers second...to see what I can come up with. Told ya it was AWESOME! Okay...I killed that word for the day...ROFL :)!!!


"It's not all about me..."

"Laaazzzzzy Sunday"

Well it's an absolutely SUPER day for designer gernerosity!!! I definitely will be grabbing these for myself later on. Sorry so late, I know some of you came a little earlier as part of your morning ritual, but I had to wait until this morning to prepare the "list". GOOD thing I did!! :) Would have missed out on some real SWEET deals!! :)

OK...off to do some other non-computer stuff for a while. Will share something AWESOME that happened to me this weekend...later. Have Fun....remember my rules (I will be stalking the comment sections!! ROFLMBO :)






































"It's not all about me..."

New Tutorial Sidebar Link

Woohoo...I gotta a new link to a new page...it's in my sidebar. Slow going...but it is part of the big picture. I will be adding to the list little by little, as I read, and as I find ones I like. You ladies could help and leave me the link to any good ones I need to check out. Thanks in advance.

I will be late with my freebie list, but will have it up later in the morning (or afternoon hee,hee:). It is "Lazy Sunday" ya know. Lol!! It took me most of the evening to refresh my skills on web page creation. Oh MY!! Don't use it...ya lose it!! I think I got it back so the big picture will probably get BIGGER. Fun huh?!?

Off to zone in front of TV and drift off into lala land. Till the next time...

My 7 Picks for the "Brilliant Weblog" Award

The lovely Linda Walton of Bon Scrapatit gave me this awesome award. Click here to read my previous post with the details.

The rules of the award are:

1. The winner can put the logo on her blog.
2. Link the person you received your award from.
3. Nominate at least 7 other blogs.
4. Put links of those blogs on yours.
5. Leave a message on the blogs of the girls you've nominated

So, after a lot of thought...the blogs I nominate are as follows:

1. Digitreats - When I first started blogging, Pams was (and still is!) one of my favorite blogs to read. I think she is hilarious and her twins are just too cute. She is one of the most consistent designers out there with her blog posts. You just might have to worry if she is okay if she misses a day. hee,hee :) And the series of freebies in "Skip", "Jump" and "Run"...OMGosh, what a generous and awesome lady. Thanks for the "Brilliant Weblog"!!!
2. Rasberry Road Designs - Wow what to say!! I don't know much about the owner, but I do know about the designs and the freebies. Another overly generous designer with absolutely gorgeous stuff!! :) Thanks for the "Brilliant Weblog"!!!
3. Summertime Designs - I stumbled upon her site by accident back in February, and have been following it ever since. I love reading about what's going on in her life...she has such a love for life and her family. It's very apparent!! She does not have regularity to her freebie posts, but when she does post one...it's like getting a present!! :) The kits are absolutely beautiful and HUGE! I love opening my reader to find a post from this really special lady. Thanks for the "Brilliant Weblog"!!!
4. KimB's Designs - Who couldn't love this girl and a visit to her blog! She emanates FUN, FUN, FUN!! If you have never visited her blog, go have a look see. She usually has a really fun story to tell and you will LOVE the way she tells it. I must not forget to mention, she heads up the color challenge over at DSO and gives out regular awesome blog freebies. Thanks for the "Brilliant Weblog"!!!
5. Amanda Thorderson Designs - This lady is awesome!! She is like the "EverReady Bunny" of digital scrap designing!! ROFL :) Every time I turn around she is putting new stuff in her store at Digitals, offering us AMAZING freebies or holding a chat or a challenge somewhere. What more can I say? How does she do it? I don't know...but I'm glad she does. hee,hee :) Thanks for the "Brilliant Weblog"!!!
6. Digimom Designs - I just love everything about this girl! She is super talented, super generous and is associated with a super store (Divine Digitals). She is even a SUPER Mom, making the wonderful choice to find a career that allows her to stay at home to raise her two beautiful children!! She is an inspiration to me. :) Go check her blog out and read her bio...she has other exciting things she is involved in on top of digital scrapbooking. Thanks for the "Brilliant Weblog"!!!
7. Wetfish Scraps - Another "Divine" designer, and another of my favorite blog reads. She sometimes has the funniest things happen...usually involving her children. She is an awesome photographer who really knows how to capture every day life. Who can forget the designer side to Cyndi...she is MY kinda GIRL!! Yep freebies too...which she regularly posts on her blog. Go give her some love...she has had some bad publicity lately. Thanks for the "Brilliant Weblog"!!!

So those are my picks. Display your award proudly because you earned it!!! Thanks again for all that you do.

"Monday Blues"...This will surely cheer you up!

Good morning all my faithful bloggers!! I have a load of goodies for you on this kinda "blue monday". It's not really too blue for me since I'm off work for a while...but I know a lot of you have to go back to work today after the long weekend. So anyhoo, I'm keepin the name! Lol :)

Btw how was everyones weekend? I hope it was filled with tons of wonderful family times and picture perfect moments. :) Mine was quiet (except for fireworks going off all night outside my office window, hee hee:). Watched a little tennis with DBF, went to Arts & Craft show, organized my computer files a little and downloaded my purchase at Divine Digital A LOT!!! I'm still not quite done, then I have to check all the zips...you know how that goes. :) Still can't do a lot...so pretty much a computer and couch potato. LUCKY for YOU!!! I start physical therepy on Tuesday, so that should get things moving a bit.

I will be adding some extra things (links to great sources) so keep an eye for added stuff in my sidebar and elsewhere. My DBF thinks I'm nuts for doing all of this for total strangers, however I don't think guys "get" us girls half the time anyway. ROFL!! I just want all of you to know it's the best "feel good" thing I have done in a long time. Besides...like minds could never really be strangers in my mind. :)

Don't forget the "Daily Download" links...there is some awesome kits being given away out there. Something for everyone.

Well off to download some more and maybe a little more organizing, and whatever else until I start to drift off into la-la land...

Here is the Bla, Bla, Bla I promised ya...


First off I have to tell ya...my new BFF, that Linda over at BonScrapatit, has given me an awesome award!! Of course she has helped me way more than she realizes and I would not be where i am right now without her help. She has believed in me from day one and I know will be a big part of my future in the digital scrapbooking arena. Hers was one of the first blogs I started visiting daily (and still do!! hee,hee :) and truly enjoyed reading what she wanted to bla, bla, bla about. You know the ones...kinda a kindred spirit...you just get them without having to try real hard. We usually stay up all night together too...yep, I'm a night owl!

And let's not forget the awesome freebies this lady gives us!!! In fact, I have been doing some "freebie" organizing on my hard drive, and was sorting the stuff she has offered up. OMGosh!! These kits are HUGE and the QUALITY is exceptional! Everyone should really be thanking her up and down...because these designs should be in her store. If I could give the award back to her...I would, but I think that would kinda be breaking the rules. Sooooooo...I will be picking 7 people with wonderful blogs. I am still making that list because I think all of you are wonderful in your own ways. Plus my picker is broke today. Read on to find out why...

I'm in the throws of downloading!! A couple posts back I told ya I was gonna buy Divine Digital's very own Royanna Fritschmann whole store...and I DID!! She has some really pretty stuff so if you have never seen her designs, go check it out. I'm not sure if the offer is still available, but if it is...and you have a big hard drive...high speed internet...and a lot of time....I do suggest the bargain. I might add that Divine Digital has one of the best downloading experiences I have had after a purchase. I think it's their server or something, but this kinda deal wouldn't work at some other stores. I know the ones!! lol :) Anyway...I have 7 days to get my order downloaded, which sounds like a lot...but there is a lot in my order!!


On top of it...I went out for a bit to shake the stink off!! ROFLMBO :) Don't ya just love that saying? My DBF says it all the time...and it makes me laugh. Anyhoo...my little town was having their annual July 4th Arts & Craft show and as usual...there was some real talent with lots of cool stuff to look at. Definately saw some things that inspired me. Who knows...maybe I will get a little creative and throw it out there to see what you think.

So that is why I am a little slow today...and might be again for a couple days. We might go to a local Indian Pow-Wow tomorrow. Yes I do get out sometimes! Lol :) Can't wait to have my arm again...my flower beds look like hell!! Thank God for perennials...there's always next year. hee,hee :)


"It's not all about me..."

"Scrumptious Saturday" are you ready?

Sorry so late on my post...I will explain in a seperate bla,bla,bla post. hee,hee :) My "picker" was broke today so I'm just giving you ALL my FAVORITES!!!!! Have Fun!

"Fantabulous Friday"...Woohoo and the 4th of JULY!!

Good morning everyone on this glorious 4th of July morning. This happens to be one of my favorite holidays and time of year. Not only does the weather become very summer like (HOT!) but the festivities surrounding this day are always a "BLAST" (no pun intended!!). Some of the fondest memories of good family times have been shared on this day.

Not whining...but this year will be a little different because of my shoulder thing. I'm fearful of attending the fireworks display at the lake...since it will be dark...someone drunken fool might fall in to me (it's happened before) and that would be bad for the shoulder. hee,hee :) We also are void of any family visiting us at the moment, my sister went home on Monday...so it's just me and DBF. In fact he is installing a new potty in the bathroom as we speak....not very festive. Oh well, we both just enjoy not being at work and lounging around. Maybe we will go see a flick. We saw "The Incredible Hulk" yesterday and it was really good. On the list still to see is "Hancock". I personally think Will Smith is AWESOME!!

Well since the day slowly advancing...I better get these to ya before you want to go play!! Again...Have a glorious "July 4th", enjoy your families, take lots of pictures, and SCRAPem!!

note: Sticky Note #1 still applies :)

Lets go Shopping!


I really like this new kit called “Let's Connect”. As Amy put it…It’s bright, bold, funky and fun! Jam-packed with goodies, this kit contains 85 papers and over 140 elements, including frames, stickers, flowers, glitter, ribbons, cords, speech balloons, word art and 2 alphabets! “Let's Connect” is the collaboration of Amy Sumrall, Ellie Lash, Flergs, Franziska Altmann, Heather Manning, Kim B's Designs, Krystal Hartley, Lost Gurlz Venture Designs, mgl Scraps, Miss Crow, Moon Scraps, Polka Dot Plum, Sugarplum Paperie, Tracey Monette, Web Designz by Kristi and Wenchd Grafix. You can purchase it at Gottapixel...go check it out.


Who doesn’t want to help others when we can? Purchasing charity kits is one way we can do this. Here are just a couple of the new ones for July. First up is “Whimsy”, which is just that…a fun charming kit full of doodles and sweetness. And next is “Wishes”…which is slightly grungy and vintage in style. You can check them both out here at the Benevolent Boutique blog.


This came to me in an email and I wanted to share…I thought it was pretty UNIQUE! It’s a cool new purse album by Ashalee Wall and Sweet Made’s CT. If your interested head on over the the shop!!
