Wow! My layout was on the O'Scraps newsletter

I have to admit that I do get a thrill when one of my layouts get some kind of recognition. Now, it doesn't always happen, but when it does...such a great surprise. So can you just imagine when I'm opening my O'Scraps newsletter and I see my layout along with two others on the front???? I was over the moon. I admit to scrapping just for myself, but WOW!!!! The layout featured is my layout of the day here on my blog. I just LOVE it. You can check out my O'Scraps gallery HERE.

Other happenings. Hmmmm...been relatively quiet, but the days have been beautiful here. Right now it is 62 degrees and just lovely. I've felt so tired from all the fresh air. My son absolutely loves being outside so needless to say he's been a very busy bee lately. Heck, he'd rather have bubbles than a regular toy. I'll take that any day.

I do have another item going into the shop on Monday. So I have my Descriptive Words and my Colorific Sticky Bits. They'll be on sale for 20% off on Monday so take advantage of that sale.

Nothing much else for today. Lots of playing outside, birthdays, baby's being born (congrats to my sister-in-law and baby Ben), bubbles, Family Fun Fairs, grilling outside (yummy pork tenderloin tonigt).

Oh, I do have my spring/summer boyfriend back. I have a red cardinal that sings to me and whistle back. Poor thing is in love and I just string him along. It's pretty funny because my son calls him my boyfriend too.

Lastly, my son tells me, "Mommy, I don't love you one time, or two, or three. I love you a million times." How sweet is that? My little cuddle bunny:)

American Idol and schtuff

I am in such a good mood because it is such a lovely day today. It's 72 degrees in the Chicagoland area and I am loving it!!!

So what else put me in a good mood...American Idol. I was really worried about Mariah Carey week, but dang!! those guys just did great. The ladies...eh. David Cook keeps getting better and better. That man keeps getting hotter and hotter. Such a showman...he will definitely be a star. If you haven't seen David Cook's performance you have to check this out.



I am loving Jason Castro too because he's not afraid to change a song to suit him.

1. What's going on: My son will be "graduating" from pre-school in a month. Just too freaky. He was a baby not so long ago and now he's into Lego's *sigh* my baby is growing up.

2. What I have coming *new product* - I am just loving descriptive words so I made some plain ones to go into Sophia Sarducci on Monday.

3. Favorite Product....Ok, I play no favorites. If I like it, I like it.

Check this out from Leora Sanford....funky and cool


All of her Apron Strings are winners.

I also picked this up from http://www.wearestorytellers.net/boutique/product.php?productid=16331&cat=258&page=2


4. Song I'm in to: I have two actually....

Paddy Casey's "Fear" I heard him on David Letterman and just loved it. Letterman has the best new musicians out there.

AND I am loving Madonna and Justin Timberlake's "4 Minutes"


5. Three favorite things:

-Febreeze Vanilla Lavender scent
-green grass
-funky vintage


6. Favorite Sites

Right now I am into www.cnn.com because I have become a political junkie. I feel lucky that I live in a country where I can vote. So all you US residents that are not registered, go and register today. Your vote does matter.


Peace Out!
