Coming Up for Air

Wow.  December 31st.  So the month ends and the year ends and I've barely had time to breathe for the last few weeks.  The holidays were very busy at my house in that wonderful way that a houseful of children is at Christmastime.  We had Christmas treats to bake, presents to wrap, open houses to visit, Santa lists to write and a houseful of guests.  My last guest of the season (love you daddy!)  left this morning and despite it being New Year's Eve we are already settling back down.  We'll be staying in tonight and grilling steaks in the Pennsylvania snow before we snuggle up in front of a roaring fire to watch the year fade.

I've not had time to scrap or design and I've missed it much.  And so I'm preparing for a wonderful January.  I have a new kit already in the hands of my CT ready to release on the 8th and some other goodies planned for this month as well. l also have exciting news, but I have to keep it to myself for one more day.  I hate secrets, but I think I can keep this one to myself just a wee bit longer.

I'm going to take one more deep breath and I'll be back tomorrow to post the first news of the year.

Have a wonderful night, have fun and be safe!

Just Married

First off, my apologies. I guess I missed the boat, er, train, on this one. I thought this brag book train was going up on the 4th and when the fourth came and went and I still didn't have any information, I just moved on. Apparently I really dropped the ball, so please accept my apologies! Just in case anyone is still coming by, here is my brag book page for Just Married new and fabulous from Misty O'Brien and Wyld Web Designs. Now, since I never got the info, I'm not sure how you got here nor can I link you to your next stop, but my fingers are crossed that you can pick up the train from the stop ahead of mine. Did I offer my apologies already? I'm usually way more on the ball than this. No really! I am! (stop that snickering, would you?)

Here is the preview for my page:

Oh look! I found the list!

Sugar Cookies -- Yum!

Its beginning to look a lot like Christmas around here.  We got our first *real* snow last night -- the kind that covers the grass and sticks to the roads a bit.  In fact, its still snowing.  And the calendar says that its December 1. . . . which means the season is upon us!

To help kick it off, I am participating in a HUGE blog train this week.  I've seen most of the previews and I have to tell you that this has become one fantastic kit!!  Here is my little bit:

Download here.

And here's a slideshow of the whole thing:


 If you are on the train already, you arrived from Pixie Mama Designs.  Didn't Letitia do a great job for you?  Grab the next gorgeous piece from Janice at JW-Digiscraps. 

This is quite a piece of logistics and designers are participating from all over the world in many different time zones, so please be patient and give us time to get all the pieces up.  I promise we are doing our best to get them all up at approximately the same time, but it may be 24 hours or so before everything is up everywhere. Oh -- and we all appreciate a little bit of loving in exchange for sharing our time and freebies.  *wink*


If you get lost at any point along the way you can find the entire list of participating designers HERE.  Thanks for playing along.   Enjoy the ride!
