About Me

I am a 51 year old woman who in the past few years have been through one thing after another. Even though I see God's hand in it all it has and continues to be a difficult road. I feel I cannot be the only person thinking and feeling the way that I do. Maybe not all of you and its not my intention to offend yet to help. So if you disagree then lets agree to disagree. This is the truth as it applies to my life and we could differ. This is my journey and I pray that in some way it may be helpful for you or someone you know. God Bless you all on your journey whatever it may be.

SO MUCH TO CATCH UP ON!!

Boy do I ever have a lot to catch up on!! The Doctor has changed my medication and I am already feeling so much better! It has given me a lot more energy and the pain is totally gone. I am still taking the Methadone but am wheening off of it and I will know exactly what the meds are capable of as soon as I am totally off of that.
What I have been able to do though is some designing. I have a lot of new things to share with you and hopefully I will have time tommorrow to completely share it all with you as well as give you another freebie. Chantal has been busy with more Quick Pages for you and you know how talented she is. I also have a freebie up my sleeve for you myself. So hopefully I will continue to have the good energy to follow through with what I have planned.

Anyway, I have my first Commercial Use Grab Bag. It is called This & That because that is exactly what it is. A bunch of This and That. I had a fun time making it and so far it seems to be a hit. Here is the preview:

PhotobucketIt is on sale for $3.00 until Midnight on May 14th which then it will be revealed. Some of it will go into a This & That kit but not all of it so it is best you not wait so you can take advantage of this great deal. You can find it here: http://www.scrappinggarden.com/shop/product.php?productid=16834&cat=0&page=2


The next item on the agenda is the Bette's Butterflies. It is a promotional kit. It has been extremely popular. If you spend $10.00 in the store not just my store but $10.00 in the whole site you will get this cute kit automatically in you cart. This kit was made in rememberence of my Sister's Mother - in - Law. Her name was Bette. She loved Butterflies and had a huge collection of them. She was the most sweetest lady I know. She had a lot of bad behavior to deal with from her husband and her only daughter, she was a queen through it all. I never heard her speak a cross word or purposefully be mean or spiteful to anyone. I looked up to her and was always considered part of the family. So heres to you Bette. This is my tribute to you!!:

Tuesday of this week at 7:00PM Eastern time Marsha and I had our usual Grow Your Element Challenge Crop/Chat. No one showed up. :( We were very sad about it but it gave us both a chance to catch up and plan some more fun things for our up coming challenges. Anyway we decided to try it again so this coming Tuesday May 13th at 7:00 PM Eastern Time we will try it again. We hope to see you all there as we really missed getting to chat with each one of you. This months kit is called A MOTHER'S TOUCH. This kit is more to the elegent side of things and has some fun elements and papers. It is on sale for $3.00! We hope you will enjoy it as much as we do. How the challenge works is you come to our chat and get the elements from the challenge. They all match the featured kit named above. Then you you use the elements as much as you can without taking away from the balance or construction of you layout. We want the focus to stay where it belongs, your picture. Here are the previews of the kit:

FINALLY A NEW POST11

I have not been a very good girl about blogging this past month. I have had my son visit and then have had a hard time keeping myself healthy. From headaches to the stomach flu it has almost been way too much for me. Of course all of this has made it really hard on my Fibromyalgia. The weather has been popping back and forth inbetween nice warm spring weather to bitter cold with snow!! Not good for someone with Fibromyalgia.

I have a couple of new kits out and they both are on sale. The first kit is Spring Garden. It is on sale for $3.75. There was such a good response to the sale I decided to extend it until the end of the month.

Here are the previews:

Friday Freebie!!!

Well, today I will have a Friday Freebie!!! Yeay!!! Now that I have a CT Team I have someone to make the SticKits for me. I am so lucky!! Right now the TSG Store is closed for some awesome renovations!! You as a customer are going to be so happy with what is coming!! We will be having a Grand Opening and be having an awesome sale so you dont want to miss a second of it!! Hopefully Grand re-opening will be on this coming Monday.
I am getting used to the quiet of having my oldest son gone. It is so nice to have him here yet at the same time I cant get any work done because I want to spend all my time with him which is as it should be. John Paul is home from school with me today. Somehow this past week he got off of his sleeping schedule again so I am attempting to get him back on it. It usually takes a few days for this if he is cooperative. lol

I am planning a great intro to my CT Team hopefully sometime this next week so make sure to stay tuned and you will get to see their fab work.

Tina Bently is one of the members on my CT Team. You can find her beautiful work in my Personal Gallery at TSG. It is here: http://www.scrappinggarden.com/gallery/showgallery.php?cat=812

Nothing much else is going on at the moment so I guess it is freebie time! Here is the preview:

Under Construction

Just a small note to let everyone know as my life evolves so does my blog. I will be doing some updating on my blog in the next few weeks to come. I finally got some help. My last CT call was very successful. I have four people and one person to do my Quick Pages for me which will become my Friday Freebies. Hopefully my other CT members will also be offering QP's on their blogs also. When I have a few layouts of my Team I will be posting them here with links to their galleries. They are all very talented. I am very grateful to have them all on my Team. Diva's Designs is growing. Where once there was only one Diva there is now five!!! LOL

There are many changes are happening in my life lately. My son came home to visit for 2.5 weeks and I was so glad to see him. That is why you havent heard from me here much. I have been spending all of my additional free time with him. Even if we are just hanging out we are together and that is all that matters. Family should always be first. Well, I need to go for now but you will see things change some around here so please bare with me an enjoy coming to visit and see the awesome changes.
