The In-Laws are Coming, The In-Laws are Coming!

Yeah! We are really excited when my in-laws come. They are really awesome. (My friends say I hit the in-law jackpot). They live in Baltimore and will be making the 7 hour drive to Boston today. Needless to say, I will spending my day tidying the house.

I wish I could be scrapping today....it is going to be overcast then rainy and cold. Perfect scrapping day. Also, I need to come up with a new site design. I am feeling the current design is really stale. It has been about a year...and I need something fresh. Anybody want to design it for me?

Alright well....gotta get back to cleaning....

My new kit, Linen Daisies, is now available at ScrapKitchen on sale for $2.99 for one day only! This sale expires Monday, February 13th at 11 pm. (If you are a newsletter member you get the sale for longer and the kit is cheaper....see, I told you to join my newsletter...members get hooked up!) LOL!

Anyway, did a quick layout of my mother-in-law and her best friend using the new kit. Hope you like it.

Teletubbies, Boobah & the Shabby Shoppe Re-Opening

Ok...who on earth created Teletubbies and Boobah? Were these people on drugs at the time? Watching makes you think you are on drugs, I swear. Well...my son has developed a facination with Teletubbies (he pronounces it "TeTeTe") and Boobah (pronounced "Beebah"). We really try to limit his television viewing because it isn't great for enriching his development and he is already behind as it is. But in addition, he has also developed a penchant for tantrums. So, he now requests TeTeTe and Beebah relentlessly. If I say no, I have a freak out on my hands. Ahhh...the joys of motherhood. But seriously, TeTeTe and Beebah have got to GO! I tried putting Elmo on instead (used to be his favorite) and he completely lost his mind! I am hoping this is just a phase.

Well, we are now a week away from the big Shabby Shoppe Grand Re-Opening and as some of you may know, I have designed a kit for Kristie's site. It is called Sporto and it is a boy-sports-themed kit. Here is a preview:

I am really excited to be a part of this event (thanks for including me, Kristie!). I cannot wait to see the work of all the designers. The previews on Kristie's blog so far are amazing.

Well, I am back to creating another kit. Hope to have it out soon!

Actually...it is time for bed. Nite nite!

Insomnia & Paper Packs!

I have been having terrible insomnia lately. I got on a late schedule and it just keeps getting worse and worse. It is 3 am EST and I am still up. At least I was able to finish some much needed work. Here is a preview of a new paper pack coming to the Kitchen. It is called "Garden". I love the soft colors.

I am working on another pack and should have these both up sometime this week(end). Stay tuned.

Heading to bed,
