New Home

I have moved my blog... my new home on the web is:

Wow, I can't believe that summer is over and that it is already September. Time sure does fly! I had a good summer though. The weather here was great!

I haven't posted anything on here in a long, long time, so I thought I would post a few things from my annual family camping trip. As always I had a great time and can't wait until next year!!

Here is a picture of some of the grandkids. They are getting so old!

Anthony Lake is really pretty and despite the fact that my pictures are pretty much the same every year, I still take tons of photos of the lake. Here are a few panoramas that I did:

Here are a few of my favorite pictures:

Jeff's cute little chihuahua Hoss.

The kids really liked catching frogs:

Here is a little collage of some of my favorite camping photos. The credits for the elements I used can be found here.

To see more camping photos you can visit my flickr photostream, or you can look at my scrapbook album (not finished though, so only a few pages posted).

Gettin' Digi wid it

OK, first... yes I know lame title, but I am not the mosat creative and I am not running on much sleep right now. So here is the story...

I woke up at five am this morning because I am a total nerd. My favorite digital scrapbooking store is having an all day(16 hour) chat today...fun! Every hour they give out a digital freebie and a chance to win cool shutterfly prizes. My sisters made fun of me because I was so excited about this and put everything in my life on hold for it (even school.).

I started digital scrapbboking the end of last October and have been hooked ever since. In addition to that I am hooked to the community of scrapbookers at Designer Digitals. Everyone posts their pages there and through those pages you learn a lot about the people who post there. There is also a forum. I really like it... despite the fact that I think I may be the only single and childless person who actively posts on the site.

If you have never tried digital scrapbooking, or even if you have, check out designerdigitals.com....they have great designers there, and from now until Monday nightish their entire store is 30% off. Also they give away three freebies every week, offer 25 cent items each Saturday night and have some amazing tutorials.

Here are some links:

Designer Digitals Gallery

Other stores that I like:
We Are Story Tellers
Shabby Pickle
2 Peas in a bucket
Litltle Dreamer Designs

There are also a lot of websites out there with free digital elements as well as tutorials... maybe I will post those later today....

Anyways, I just thought I would share my OBSESSION with y'all! NOw, back to chating and scrapping!

Cinq handmade gifts from moi!

The first FIVE people to respond to this post will get something made by me! My choice. For you. This offer does have some restrictions and limitations:

1- I make no guarantees that you will like what I make!

2- What I create will be just for you.

3- It'll be done this year. (sometime in 2009...most likely in the summer :))

4- You have no clue what it's going to be.

5- I reserve the right to do something extremely strange.

The catch? Oh, the catch is that you must re-post this on your blog and offer the same to the first 5 people who do the same on your blog. The first 5 people to do so and leave a comment telling me they did win a FAB-U-LOUS homemade gift by me! Oh, and be sure to post a picture of what you win when you get it! Sounds like fun, right?
