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.

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.

Good News Bad News

Well, I have good news and bad news to share. Which would you like to hear first? LOL Well, lets go with the bad lol. Well, I had someone apply for my CT position. I accepted her as she had a nice gallery set up and had been scrapping for a while. She seemed very excited and I thought wow this is going to work well. Then this morning I got the Im so overwhelmed and I dont think I can do this, yadda, yadda, yadda. Oh, man I am so disappointed. I really need the help so bad!! I am having a hard time doing the designing and the layouts etc. etc. Then there is the advertising. For some reason that always goes to the bottom of the list. That is so bad!! I need to advertise more!! I need more hours in the day!!!

Okay enough moaning and groaning!! The Good News is that I am taking over Linda Cumberland's Challenge Blueprint Challenge while she is on extended leave. I am very excited about this. It is going to be a fun challenge for me too! This month Linda already had done a sketch so I was off the hook but if I am still needed next month then I will have to make a sketch which I have never done but I am sure up to it!! I take the challenge on willingly lol!

I am still working on the featured kit but have one of the posting bonus' to show you. This bonus is if you complete the challenge with the featured kit. Here it is!:
Photobucket These are exclusive pieces that you will only get as a posting bonus. They will never be in the kit itself. I am so excited about this kit. If you have been to The Scrapping Garden lately you will have seen a sneak peak of the kit for the color challenge. I am excited to get it finished. I am almost there. I need to get it finished I dont think I am going to get it in by Friday. Maybe for Tuesday. OH MY the Challenge starts on Monday. Maybe I can pospone it until Tuesday. I think I am going to have too. Darn. I just realized today was Wednesday. I am too late for it to get in by midnight tonight. Oh Well!!

Thanks for reading and I will see you all on Friday with a Freebie. Pray for me that I will get some more applications on my CT Call. Have a wonderful evening!!
