DIlemma

Hey peeps, I have a dilemma, and I would love your help (or advice- or both!!)

I attempted to write a post previous to this one, and found out (unfortunately), that I have no more space to add photos to this blog. Unless, that is, I buy more storage. I am not up for that. I found out because I have some exciting news to share, and a picture is necessary to the news I want to share. I will tell you what the news is, because I just can't keep it to myself anymore, but there won't be a picture to accompany it. I don't want to wade through the mounds of posts I've made in the last year trying to locate the photographic item I want to share.

On the other hand, you'll just have to go out and purchase what I am about to share with you. Ha!

I bet I've got you wondering now, LOL.

I got published!

One of my layouts will appear in the next issue (which is out on new stands on the first) of Canadian Scrapbooker magazine. GO out and buy it and look for me! I'd love that!

And, since I have no more photo storage, I am unable to show you my most recent layout, which is sketch #159 over at LCTS. However, you can find it at my online gallery.

Maren (and now Addison) are in this phase where everything is 'theirs'. Maren's 'my' phase has expanded to include the word 'friend' now, so everything and everyone is 'her friend_______...' Its pretty darn cute! I love it especially when she asks about 'her friend daddy'. It warms my heart knowing she thinks that way of her daddy. I just hope she feels the same about her mama!

Till next time,

xo

No Kidding?!

Did you hear? I'm having a giveaway! For more details, scroll down, or click on this link to head straight over there! Also, due to a slight oversight, I've edited my last post to include HOW to enter into my draw!

Remember this layout?

outforpublication--outforpublication--outforpublication--outforpublication
outforpublication--outforpublication--outforpublication--outforpublication
outforpublication--outforpublication--outforpublication--outforpublication

**Sorry--had to edit this post removing, temporarily, the layout that's being published. I'll put it back up here when the next Canadian Scrapbooker issue is out. December 1st is the magical date!!

I am pretty sure it made it into my blog, but I can't find the post.

Some time ago now, I sent it in to Canadian Scrapbooker, along with a bunch of other layouts- with the hope that one (or a few) of them would be published. Because, that's been a wild dream of mine for a while. Being published is the epitome of crafty nirvana.

My wildest dreams have finally come true! I am being published!

Keep your eyes peeled for the upcoming winter issue of Canadian Scrapbooker. You'll find it there! Eek!

So, to celebrate my first ever publication, and to extend the happiness a little further than just one RAK giveaway, I'm having two! Yup, TWO chances to win!

And, its simple: become a follower of my blog, spread the word on your own blog, and leave me a comment here letting me know you've done so. 

So, the goodies you'll be bidding for?

Here they are:

Prize one--

Prize two--

They are all cards I have in my stash, and they are all up for grabs! They are all ones that I've made myself. You might even recognize one or two of them- and that's because they were made with a specific purpose, but then were never used (for one reason or another). They could be yours!

There was a time, late last year and into the very early part of this year, where I was attempting to make and sell handmade cards, but the pressure got to me (because I was trying to sell myself, where it seemed no one was particularly interested), so I just gave up. Now, instead, my heart and focus is on Project 365, and its MUCH more satisfying than making and selling cards ever was!

I do want to say, however, that the intent is still there. So, if you know anyone that loves handmade cards- and needs cards- but doesn't want to make them themselves- send them in my direction. I'd love to help them out! 

Enjoy your day! My bestie is heading out tonight and we've got plans to hang out and catch up all weekend long. Yay!! I'll see everyone again Saturday night!
