Nicole of Digi-Designs by Nicole has got the cutest kit called A Cherry on Top that you have just got to check out! Take a look at this preview...



The kit has a full alphabet, 13 papers and 37 elements. The colors are awesome and will be perfect to scrap those pictures you've got of your family acting goofy and making faces. You know the pictures I'm talking about! LOL! I think the bright colors of this kit will also be great to use in a layout with a black and white photo.

The kit is on sell now at Nicole's Stuff to Scrap store and that means you can pick it up for only $2.79. That's a real bargain!

More Creepy Crawlie Stuff!

April has added more papers to her Creepy Crawlie kit. They are pretty awesome! The Creepy Crawlie Kit is huge! It's also split up into small parts so that you can buy only the parts you need. Make sure you check the kit out in April's store at Scrap it Sassy.

I played with the blue papers April made and came up with another QP for you. I know blue isn't one of the main colors you think of when you think of Halloween, but it's my favorite color so it works for me. LOL! Plus, these blue papers are super cute! Your download link is below the preview.

We received a great post card from New Mexico today. The picture on the card was of the White Sands Desert and was beautiful! I'm not sure who sent the card, but thank you so much! These cards are all so pretty and we are having a ball looking for all the different places on the map!

Remember when I said that my street was flooded a couple of days ago? Well, it's been flooded every morning since then too. It's not rain water, it's sea water from some extra high tides we've been having. They say it's because of the new moon. Isn't that crazy?

A couple of days ago we had a student at a local high school get killed on campus. He was 17 and was stabbed during a fight. Today, police arrested several students from different schools all over the county for having weapons on campus.

We live in such a scary world!

I'm going to sleep now. Enjoy your day and look for me on digifree

I have a big favor to ask!

Download wordart here

I know I've been asking for lots of favors lately and I'm sorry, but this one was just too important not to ask.

Maybe you've never heard of Robert Lingenfelser, but he is a very important man! Animal Planet has selected Robert as one of 10 finalists from 7,000 nominees for the Animal Planet “Hero of the Year” contest.

He founded the Marine Mammal Conservancy in Key Largo. Without Robert and people like him, there would be no alternative to euthanasia for stranded and injured dolphins and whales. With the help of a team of volunteers who stand ready to help at a moment’s notice, Robert has led MMC to become one of the best marine mammal response organizations in the world. The research MMC provides contributes to scientists’ knowledge about marine mammal species that are not able to be studied on a regular basis. This information is vital to the survival of our oceans. Robert Lingenfelser’s leadership and selfless dedication make these contributions happen. He is a teacher and mentor to the staff and volunteers of MMC that he recruits and trains to make sure that MMC can respond to the needs of marine mammals today and long into the future.

On top of all the wonderful work the MMC does with the animals, they have also reached out to the community. they have come into the schools and talked to our students about their work and the important role animals play in our environment.

The main prize for winning this award is a donation of $10,000 to the animal welfare organization of the winner’s choice. Part of the decision on the winner of the award will be based on the results of People’s Choice voting.

Please go to this site and vote for Robert Lingenfelser . You can vote once a day until September 27.

Where do I begin?!?

I don't even want to tell you how many hours I spent playing the wii sport resort last night. LOL! I woke up this morning with a sore arm from all the sword fighting. I kicked orange croc guys butt at the sword fighting! Wake boarding----not so much. LOL!

We had so much rain over night that my poor street was almost flooded when I left this morning. If we had gotten a little more rain, maybe I could have stayed home and played on the wii some more. LOL!

Have I told you that I'm having a fairly stressful school year? Well, just to let you know how stressful it is one of my students gave me a jar of Ponds cold cream as a gift today. You know it's bad when a 5 year old boy feels the need to give you wrinkle cream! LOL! Then just to pour salt on my wounds the high school volunteers in my room had no idea what it was and I had to explain to them that it was for wrinkles and they laughed at me! The little boy stood there smiling from ear to ear saying, "Yep, I gived it to her." LOL!

Post cards, wii & The Tooth Fairy

Download wordart here

I don't know who to thank for the great postcards that arrived today because they weren't signed. They were beautiful, all from North Carolina and made me a little homesick for the time that I spent living on Topsail Island. We got cards from the Marine Corp Air Station at Cherry Point, Tryon Palace in New Bern, Cape Lookout Lighthouse & The Outer Banks.

The wii sports resort arrived today and the ladies working in the mail room signed for it so I've got it and I am so happy. I won't be getting much done for the next couple of days because I'll be playing. LOL!

Did you check out April's Tooth Fairy kit yet? One of my students came up to me today and said that he had a loose tooth and I got all excited. I lost most of my excitement though when I saw that the tooth barely even wiggled. Tomorrow I might suggest that he bite into lots of apples. LOL!

Here's the pink QP I made for the girls. Your download link is below the picture.
