Challenge News

Just a quick reminder that today is the last day to participate in our Scraplift Challenge at My Life and Scrap. Get a LO done and get a chance to win. Go check it out!!

A brand new Template Challenge just started up- you'll LOVE this template.

The Gourmet Scrapping Challenge is coming to an end today also. Be sure to check that one out, HOW FUN!!

And... we're going to be starting a monthly Speed Scrap at MLAS!! How Exciting? I can hardly wait- starts at 8pm (Central Time) on April 16.

Lots to talk about...

I got a lot of stuff done today. Check out the new look of the blog : ) It's coming right along. One more thing that has to be done to it and it will be finished. I'm VERY happy with the way it's going. I'd like to send out a HUGE thank you to Kathy Moore for helping me with my blog (she's also our web designer and she ROCKS!) thanks Kathy, we love you : )

Okay... so from today's To Do List:
I made some ad templates so now all I'll have to do is pop the pictures in and write up a little blurb and send it off
Got links sent out to the team to create LO's and QP's with the up and coming collab- you're gonna LOVE this one
I got a QP done for the Early Spring Charity QP bundle. The way I make QP's is probably a little different from how others do. I make a LO then remove my picture. SO... here's my LO- you can get the QP version in Early Spring Bundle 6 when it hits the shelves.


Tonight Leonard and I went to Blockbuster. We'd already watched our Netflix movies and had nothing to do (now that we've cancelled our World of Warcraft accounts). We picked up season 4 Lost and TWILIGHT!!! Yes, I did it. I can't believe it, but I did. Actually HE's the one who wanted to see it. Now he wants to read it too. Ahhh the ways of the world LOL.

Well, it's WAY past my bedtime and I have some errands to run tomorrow- library books to return and groceries to buy. AND my new scanner is scheduled to arrive, so I must go now and get rested up : )

Hope everyone has a beautiful week.

Little Accomplished

I didn't accomplish much yesterday. I enjoyed my day off work with my mother. We had a wonderful time. We took a little road trip up to Port Angeles (about an hour and a half from here). It was mom's first trip there. We had a delicious dinner at Blue Flame, it's the closest to BBQ I've had since I left the south. On the way we passed through a teensy little town called Gardiner, the heart of Troll Haven. I couldn't resist the urge to jump out and take a few pictures. Have a look:
So... TOMORROW it's my day off from the slave job and my day to enjoy my tasks at MLAS.

Work in progress

The blog is starting to take on it's new look. There's a lot I need to learn how to do, like put a single color column down the middle where my posts are. I'll keep working on it. I'm beat tonight though.

Tomorrow's To Do List:
Work on payouts for designers
Get some advertising things done
Finish Grab Bag
Start Newsletter
Send Yahoo Ads
Plug 20% off sale
Figure out the blog roll for the designers
Add blinkies to blog

Only a couple more days until my new scanner is due to arrive. I'm VERY excited and 2Dips Designs will be in full swing! Oh... 2Dips- that's me and Linda LOL. I'll be scanning she'll be extracting and we'll be sharing a spot in the store. C'mon scanner, hurry up and get here!!

Now... I must go spend some time with my sweet hubby and then off to bed. Hope everyone is having a super week and that you all have a beautiful weekend.

Busy, Busy, Busy!!!

Wow! Who'd have thought it would be such a task to be a store owner? Don't get me wrong, I love it deeply but it sure is a lot of work. I'm honestly enjoying every moment of it.

I've been thinking a lot about my blog and what direction I want it to take. It's been around for a while but never had much of a true purpose. I've gone from posting my favorite scrapping supplies to daily (or at least almost daily) posts about what's new in my life, to it's current dormant status. But now, I'm ready to get back at it in addition to the 950 thousand other things I do in a day!!! My blog is titled My Life and Scrap- it always has been and now it's the title of my store, so it only seems fitting that I blog about my store... with a little bit of life thrown in (hence My LIFE and SCRAP). So... I'm thinking I'm due for a make over and we'll go from there : ))

I'm seeing interesting things in my blog's future...

Art!!

I've got a serious itch to just rip apart my entire Art Spot and rearrange reorganize. I can't find anything. One of my artsy friends says that's part of the journey. Funny haha. Nah, I actually prefer to have things organized- at least somewhat organized anyway. Those who know me well know that I'm not very good at being organized (good thing my hubby doesn't read this blog he'd come on here and really tell you the truth about my organizational skills). But really, I think about something that I know I have and I spend 20 minutes looking for it, don't find it and that's that. Often my "hands on" creativity streak doesn't expand beyond 20 minutes. I live and dream in pixels. Most of my creative energy is spent on my digital doings. Besides that, I'm pretty big on trying to make every minute count, multi-tasking and so on. With that being said- I can't imagine NOT getting the Art Spot organized. Hmmm... a new chore.

New and News

I can't say that I have anything exciting to talk about, but thought I'd just hop on here and say hi to all my fans LOL.

It's funny how things can go for such long periods of time with little or no change. It seems like there isn't a whole lot to say right now. Those who do read my blog pretty much know everything that's going on in my life that's of any real significance. I guess that makes me think maybe I should reconsider the real reason behind my blog. Maybe I could change it up a little? Maybe make it more scrapbook related- since that is my biggest hobby. I dunno. I just know that it is about time for a change : ))
