Well, I’ve been the worst blogger ever – I feel like a neglectful parent!  The end of the month is always crazy, with too many deadlines.  This month has  been worse than usual;  however, I can’t complain too much.   My new designer service (advertising) has been, tentatively at least, a hit.   I just need to [...]

Sometimes I can’t believe I’m as old as I am. I mean, just yesterday I was a little girl, a teenager, graduating high school, in college. . .It’s a little depressing. I remember struggling through that awkward onset of puberty; lots of disgusting things to deal with, not the least of which was the sudden [...]

Like I need it, right? Well, maybe I don’t, but I can still look. I’m a junkie, I admit it – and one of my personal obsessions is coordination from the inside out. Every once in a while, I’ll go on a little spree and update my wardrobe; believe it or not, the most expensive [...]

I know, I know – I haven’t posted much this week.  Life (pesky nonsense that it is) keeps getting in the way.  I do have a couple of interesting items to mention today, then it’s back to the grindstone.  Can’t believe it’s already near the end of July; the kids go back to school in [...]

We put the finishing touches on this beauty yesterday.  This is my first ever collab kit, and it was an absolute joy to work with these two very talented designers, Eirene Designs and SKrapper Digitals.   Naturally, I’m a little biased, but – isn’t it gorgeous?  It’s available exclusively at My Scrap Shop at an introductory [...]

We are a gadget family. Video games, cell phones, computers, slick little MP3 players – we have them all. For the most part, these things are very positive elements in our home. They keep us together when we’re all home (the family that plays together!), and keep us in touch when we aren’t. Of course, [...]

I spent some time working on an ad yesterday.  We have a pretty cool sale, “The Dog Days of Summer,” running at Scraphead right now.  Neat concept – it’s like a backward-progressive type thing.  It started Friday with everything in the store 75% off (yes, 75%).  Yesterday the discount was 73%, today it’s 71%, tomorrow [...]

I actually broke through that little barrier for a while last night and made some tremendous progress on one of my kits.  It felt really good.  In a few minutes I’m going to try my luck and see if I can create a little more! Wrote a post last week about my propensity for purchasing [...]

Well, I’m a lot closer to finishing a kit, finally!  I’ve just been doing a little bit of work on each one everyday, and I think it might work.  My question for the day is this: when you purchase a kit, would you rather have five or six different types of elements, all re-colored to [...]

I get volumes of catalogs in the mail, quite a few from places I’ve never heard of,  let alone shopped at.  Most of these I just throw away, never giving them a second look.  Every once in a while,  though, something about a particular catalog will catch my eye, and I’ll look through it just [...]
