Apparently, everyone in my class has the same cold. I had three students absent today and everyone else was coughing and sneezing. This should be a fun week. At least we've got a three day weekend coming up. Now, if I can only make it to Friday....LOL!

Did you drop by Deanna's blog to pick up the first part of the It's My Party Kit? Today you can pick up the rest of the papers. I wanted to share a layout I made using this totally cute kit. I turned it into a QP for you and the download link is below the picture.

Don't forget to go by Stone Accents Studio to vote for Deanna (Flowerscraps) today!

I have to go get some sleep before the cold medicine wears off. Enjoy your day and look for me at digifree!

It's My Party

Ok, so I guess the cold medicine wore off because I woke up, but that's OK because I remembered that I needed to tell you about the cute kit that Deanna is releasing today called It's My Party. Take a look at this preview...



Aren't the colors great?!? It's perfect for little boy or little girl layouts. You can even use it for some big girl layouts too. LOL! Make sure you head over to Deanna's blog to check out the kit and come back here tomorrow for a quick page I made with the kit.

You should also remember to go by Deanna's Stuff to Scrap store before the month is over. She still has her wonderful "Buy My Store" sale going on, but once September ends so does the sale.



Deanna has really been busy this week! On top of giving birth to a beautiful baby girl, she has gotten her round 3 submission in the SAS-Y contest posted. Just look at what she has made this round...



Don't you just love it! You can get Deanna's mini kit for free at Stone Accents Studio and PLEASE visit SAS on Tuesday when this weeks voting starts and remember to VOTE FOR FLOWERSCRAPS!!!

I'm going back to bed now. Enjoy your day and look for me at digifree!

The first cold of the school year

Download wordart here

Well, I haven't had a fun weekend at all! It has either rained or been cloudy and overcast outside all weekend. Then, as if that weren't enough to ruin my weekend I've been fighting off my first cold of the school year. I love teaching Kindergarten, but I hate the colds that come with it at the beginning of every school year. LOL!

I did take some time today to make a layout for the Use It or Lose It Challenge at Stuff to Scrap. If you haven't checked out the fun challenges in the forum there you really should! For this challenge we got a super cute mini kit from Mad Genius Designs and had to use everything in the kit on our layout. Here's the layout I made...



It's so much fun to see how everyone used the kit in their layouts! They are all so different and beautiful.

You can still get the mini kit for free at Stuff to Scrap and join the challenge. You've got until the end of the month!

The cold medicine I took has kicked in and so I'm going to bed now. Enjoy your day and look for me at digifree!

It's my blogoversary!

Download wordart here

One year ago today I decided to start a blog. I wasn't sure why I wanted to start one or what I would put on it, but I started it anyway. Now, here we are almost 98,000 blog hits and over 64,000 down loads later and I am so glad that I did!

I have enjoyed coming here everyday and sharing little parts of my life. I am forever grateful for the encouragement and kind words you have given to me.

I've got a little party scatter for you as a blogoversary gift from me to you. I hope you can use it. The download link is under the picture.

I can't wait to see what the next year brings! Enjoy your day and look for me on digifree!

A Cherry on Top

Download wordart here

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
