Signing Off

Well, my dear scrapping friends, the time has come for me to sign off indefinitely. After a difficult pregnancy, my boys came 3 months early on November 10th. Our Dex didn't survive the journey and has returned to his Heavenly Father. Our life is (even more) chaotic now as we've circled the wagons a little tighter around our family, fighting the good fight alongside our Crew, who remains in the NICU.

I've felt very blessed by my association with you all and your kind and generous words over the last year. I plan to be back some day, with new layouts of our new little guy.

If you'd like to follow Crew's journey, he has his very own blog now: http://crewsjourney.blogspot.com/

Template 59

I always make the template first and then make some pages with it, to give it a test drive. I've discovered that some designs are easier to work with and more versatile than others. This particular template was super fun and, for whatever reason, I think that this one was easier to use than most.

Continuing with the Break, LOL!

Yeah, so I'm not sure when I'll be up to scrapping, LOL! A funny thing happened on the way to the OB this morning. Surprise! Twins! At least now I know why I've been so crazy sick with this pregnancy!!!

On a Break

Well, for the last several weeks, I have been in the "throws" of first trimester pregnancy with our third little one. It doesn't look like it's going to improve over the next few weeks, and then we'll be traveling to visit family. Keep me in your googlereader so you can know when I get back to scrapping! I miss it already!

And thank you so much for the sweet emails inquiring after my health and wellbeing. All is well, better than well, actually. We've traveled and we've had travelers, and have been otherwise wild and crazily busy. I forgot May gets like that sometimes! I need to remember that for next year!

I haven't scrapped in a month and a half and I can hardly believe it! The last 6 weeks have been amazingly busy, but fun and fulfilling, so I can't complain. Well, I shouldn't complain, but how can I not when I haven't been able to find time to scrap??! I finally took some time this afternoon and I feel all scrap-happy and fuzzy inside :) Hope you enjoy the template! I'm going to post another one in a few minutes.

Free Quickpages!

Michelle Coleman of Little Dreamer Designs has posted some Freebie Quick Pages designed by me! :) They were so fun to make and I was so pleased that she liked them enough to post them. I feel positively giddy! I used her "Sweet Chic" kit, plus some dragonflies from her "Sweet June" kit and her new "Floral Spray Brushes". I really love the feminitity of her designs, don't you? There are four quickpages total: Square, rectangle, with brushes, and without.

Go to Michelle's Blog to download them! If you download them, PLEASE be sure to thank her for allowing the use of her beautiful creations to make these free Quick Pages! It was very generous of her!

Check The Link

The link was crossed for a few minutes, but it was long enough for Template 51's post to hit Googlereader. So make sure you got what you wanted, square or rectangle! I'm going to take down the original post and repost it!

Template 50

Well, I made it to the big "five-oh". Number 50, who knew? I think this means I'm retiring from templates, LOL. Just kidding :)

Thank you so very much to those of you who have taken the time over the last several months to leave comments. I read every single one and they lift my spirits regularly! They really make me smile, so thank you.
