I've moved to a new blog!!! WOOT! I enjoyed the ride with my blogger blog, but I have my own customized blog now - please click here to read my blog! Thanks!

Well, I finally did it! Today I became a *real* designer at Oscraps! I am so excited! My Word Art Store just opened up today, so if you're in the mood for a sale...click on the ad below! Come on and help me celebrate - and get some good bargains, too! :)

Soooo, I made QPs with Vicki's Rock On kit and they are on sale for the birthday sale!! (And people are actually buying them...LOL!) My first try at making QPs!! We've packaged them as 2-pagers, but I made them so they'd stand alone as 1-pagers, too! During the sale, you can grab each 2 page set for only $1.40!!!!!!! I linked each image for you! I hope you like them - I'm pretty darn proud, to tell you the truth!!!

Don't forget about my little contest I posted here on March 12 - just a few more purchases and we'll have a winner! :) Good luck! Have a wonderful weekend!!

EDIT: We have a winner for the GC to Vicki's store! The winner has been notified! :) I'll come back and update when we hit the 10th purchase of the Lucky Duck Word Art! :)

I'm having a sale on my word art at Oscraps....plus you could win prizes!

My Rock On! Word Art is on sale for 30% off - and the 10th person to buy it (starting today) will get a $5.00 GC to Vicki Stegall's shoppe at Oscraps.

The Lucky Duck Word Art is on sale for 25% off and the 10th person to buy it (starting today) will get a $5.00 GC to Sweet Genevieve's shoppe at Oscraps.

It's really a great deal because for spending less than 2 bucks you could win a $5.00 GC! :) I am just trying to do my part to celebrate - Oscraps is 2!!! There are TONS of amazing sales there right now, and you'd be crazy not to check it out! I know I've spent plenty of money on some great bargains - I used the sale as an excuse to get things I'd been eyeing for a while!

Have a great day! :)

Yay! I have another word art set for sale!

The word art coordinates with Lucky Duck, by Sweet Genevieve Designs!

Thanks to Gen for letting me work with her on this - what an honor! :)

In other news...it is snowing AGAIN! Lily has developed a love for Hungry Hungry Hippos (which is noisy - especially when she sings HUNGRY HUNGRY HIPPOS over and over again while pounding), and business is finally picking up again for my husband. I'm desperately trying to keep up with everything - work, yearbook, CT reqs, making word art (my newest obsession).

Totally random stuff coming up, (and it is a little whiny...so brace yourselves). I have come to realize that although I am the youngest in my group of college girlfriends, I am officially "the one" that doesn't get invited to do the crazy, last-minute stuff. I know it isn't personal, at least I hope not... There are just so many differences between their lives and mine. I'm married with a child, most of them are single, none have children. I'm a teacher in a medium-sized town, they are all business women in big cities. I dunno...it just makes me feel like I'm the old one when they are all going off on weekend getaways together and I'm here being a teacher. It's like it doesn't even occur to them to invite me anymore. Blech. Again, I don't think it is like "let's not invite Jodie" - but it is still depressing. Haha! Don't get me wrong...I love my life and wouldn't change a thing (except my career if I knew I could be successful with something else). I am just having one of those moments. Anyway, back to work. Thanks for listening...haha! :)

Ok...I can't believe it, but it is true! I made something that is actually for sale at Oscraps! Vicki Stegall, owner/designer, has given me a chance to rock my word art skills - and someone (well a few someones) actually bought it! Yay! Here's what I made:


Yep...see my name there in red on the bottom!! WOOOOHOOOO!

I used some elements from Vicki's Rock On! {World Tour} Mega Kit (which really does ROCK, by the way)! Thanks again, Vicki! You ROCK! (Oh man, that pun is NEVAH getting old!)

I have to record a few Lily-isms so that I don't forget them...and this has proved to be a good way of doing that.


Tonight she was singing, "Glue, glue...stick to the glue. Glue, glue...stick to the glue. Glue, glue...stick to the glue. Stick to the glue my dar-yin." When I pointed out that it was actually "Skip to My Lou" she said, "Well, mine makes perfect sense!" How can I argue with that?

She stayed the night with Mimi & Papa (my parents) on Friday night. She told me not to bother them and not to call them, so I didn't call before bed on Friday. Even though it just about killed me, I didn't do it. When I finally called on Saturday morning and asked to talk to her, she yells, "No!!!" to my mom and doesn't want to take the phone. Nice, right? She finally gets on the phone and says, "Mom, I thought I told you not to bother us. I want to be a-yone with Mimi & Papa!"

She is the Chief of the Polite Police now, and no one can get away with asking for something without saying please. When my dad told her to do something on Saturday, she said, "Papa, let's try it again and use nice words this time."

She is hilarious - and she keeps getting more and more hilarious with each passing day! I love it and I can't wait to hear what she is going to come up with next! :)
