First LO for the OLW blog :)

I really want to scrap more so I decided to start on the OLW blog challenge. This week it was about the word: HOPE

Here's what I came up with:



The journaling reads:

Sometimes it’s hard especially in those dark days, but I want to keep HOPE. I want to find my peace... that the restlessness in me will dissapear. I want to be able to sleep at night
without the worry, I want to be able to live the days without the pain... I just want to enjoy life again.
But in those days HOPE is there; I know there will be a time that I’ll feel better, that I won’t feel so fragile anymore. HOPE makes me fight it and I know I’ll concer this with HOPE on my side...

Now I need to figure out how to upload to the SIS gallery 'cause I can't find teh upload button LOL

Black Friday sale at The Digi Chick!!

I am so excited to be working on getting my store up in my new digi home!! These girls are just fab to be around!! They know how to make a girl feel welcome !!

I have been busy today with birning my unsaved data because I fear my External Harddisk is about to die. He makes a strange noise and I keep getting data writing errors so not good! So remind to burn or back up your data often!!

Designing wise I am working on a new collab adn it's gonna be a fabulous one! We hope to get it ready in time for the opening of my new shoppe, so more reasons to stay tuned!!

I am leaving ScrapArtist

There are rumors going around about my departure at ScrapArtist that are not true, and I want to straighten out some of the misconceptions.

Yes I am leaving ScrapArtist, that part of the story is true. Nancie got out new designer guidelines to make ScrapArtist a better place then it already is and I can see why she is making those changes and I admire here for continually working on making ScrapArtist better and better.

Unfortunately those guidelines don’t work for me as I also work outside home, I have 2 kids and some health issues with my neck and back. That’s why I felt I needed to step down and make room for someone else.

The new guidelines are the only reason why I am leaving ScrapArtist!!!!!!!! No, Nancie did not force me to leave, no she did not fire me. I - and only I -made the hard decision to leave!!

Nancie is one of the sweetest persons I have ever known and ScrapArtist is a fabulous site to be at. Even though I will take my designs somewhere else I’ll still keep visiting SA because it’s a fun site to be at!

I think very higly of Nancie and ScrapArtist.

These stories are really hurting me and Nancie and we want it to stop.

If you have any questions about my departure from ScrapArtist just drop me an email :)


Be on the look out for the announcement to where I'll go ;)

Time flies. Mitchell is already 2 weeks in school. The first week he had a hard time. He didn't want to go but the second week he already had much more fun.

Joey had his first morning at school. He was okay untill we walked to the school. He started crying and put his little hands before his eyes. He was like that for about 1/2 an hour and it broke my heart. He just kept asking if he could go home :( But his teacher did a very good thing: he read a little book about a pig who was sad because his dad had to leave him at school. This did the trick. halfway into the book he opened his eyes and started looking to the book. I could feel the tention lowering and I could start to relax a bit. When he found out he could play with dough at school it was all over. He was happy and was more than okay with me leaving. When I picked him up at the end of the morning they were palying outside and he looked so happy. He waved at me and I was so proud of him!
He will go again next Wednesday and he already looks forward to it!

Mitchell started his hobby club last Friday and really enjoyed himself. They can make whatever they want and Mitchell wanted to work with wood. He saw a little duck that he can paint next week. It's so nice to see him enjoying these things.
He also found a wounded dove today. We took it to the bird care centre and the bird will totally recover and the woman at the care centre was really proud of him to capture the dove. This is so good for his self confidence.

Tomorrow ScrapArtist will move over to another shopping cart. We have been very busy with moving our products over and I can't tell you how much work Dean,Patrick, Nancie and Isabelle have done behind the scenes and still doing of couurse. If you still have any downloads left for products or a GC please go and get it now!! We can't move over the downloads so this is your last day to do so!!

My Chirpy collab with Jackie Eckles is the featured product at The HUB this week. I am really proud of the layouts Kristen and Aja made:
