I Named a Kit!!!!!


I have put in suggestions for new digi kits on a few different occasions. Knowing very well, I'm not so good at it. However, Holli Hobbi over at Digital Candy had a new GREAT back to school kit and the person who suggested the name received the kit for free. I really loved this particular one because I could use it just as well for my 15 yo as I could my 4 yo. I must have put in about 20 suggestions and imagine my shock when I received the message she chose one of mine.

Playing in the rain

We have had rain for about two weeks straight already ~ or at least feels that way. Had another good rainfall yesterday (my heart & prayer goes out to all in Florida and any effected by TS Fay) so Jonathan tells me he wants to go outside and play when we get home. At first I said no because it is wet. "I know", he says with the biggest grin. Okay, why not? He had so much fun. Daddy even took his shoes off and rain through the puddles (ponds) with him. I haven't downloaded the pictures from the camera yet, but will post a few when I do!

Is this right?

I thought when your child becomes a teenager, especially once they hit high school, they try to do everything in their power to avoid you. With the exception of when they need something. Thankfully, I can say that is not completely true with my 15 year old. He makes the comment to me the other day during our conversation, "That's why I enjoy talking to you." I'm sure my eyes bugged out a bit and looked at him a bit strangely. "Because I can talk about things and use words ~ and you get it! Some of my friends either ask what that means or just look at me insanely." It gave me that warm fuzzy feeling, my son ENJOYS talking with me! And his Dad too. Especially now that he is in JROTC. As long as it is something that interest Tony, he is a sponge and soaks up every bit of information he can.

Slideshow

     


Here is the Vintage Flair by Dreamscape Designs, as well as the add-on for Vintage Flair.  I am tired of having tons of recipes printed out or jotted down on just anything, So I've decided to scrap them and organize them.  Might as well make the pretty too.  That way I can say "Of course I'm not scrapping AGAIN, I'm organizing my recipes so I can cook delicious meals for you and the boys."  Yea, right, he'll know I was full of it. 





I have a few digi kits that I want to show you.  They are some of the new releases at Digital Candy.  The 1st one is Sweet Boy by Trish H.  Trish was so sweet and RAKed me with it.  (A RAK is Random Act of Kindness).  Having 2 boys, this kit touched me when I saw it.
The 2nd was another RAK.  Summer's End by Chaos Lounge.  I just love the soft colors and greenery.  I think I have at least her last 3 kits.  They are just so packed with so much.  Great when you have a lot of pages you want to co-ordinate, but not have the same items on each.
Last, but NOT least... daydream by dreamscape designs.  I love the colors in it, mix of elements and such pretty papers.  This kit could be used for girls or boys, kids or adults...I love multi-purpose items!  
What is your personal preference?  Do you like it when designers keep rolling their great designs or do you like a little time between kits.  I don't know if I have made my mind up on that yet.  I'm too impatient to wait to see the next fab design, but at the same time I feel like I didn't have time to play with their last kit.  No worries, I'll just have to lock myself up with my computer and have a night of scrapping!  I have managed to do a recipe layout with the last kit from dreamscape designs, Vintage Flair.

New Color

So I colored my hair.  This morning, before work of all times.  Normally I do light brown or red, but this time I went with a med. brown with just a hint of red.  I was surprised that it looks better than the lighter colors. (Not sure why since my roots were pretty dark, LOL).  the gals at work said it looks great.  Just wonder what dear Hubby will say when he gets home???  I'm thinking he will like it.  It took a few years off too.  Not sure if it's because my grays are covered (for now) or the darker hair doesn't wash my face color out as much?  Whatever the reason, I'm happy.
