Painted Garden

I know I never got back to posting a picture of my new kit a few days ago. Just got really busy with getting the final touches done on the wedding.
Here it is, my newest kit.

New Kit, New Happenings

I have a new kit I have been working on for some time. I have no idea how some people can get 2, 3, or 4 new kits out a month, I am lucky I can get one kit out a month LOL. Drives me crazy. 

But first some new things in the stores I am in. 
Stitchy Bear Stamps has a brand new collaboration out for June called Picnic/4th of July. Some really awesome stamps and papers in there. Just think of all the things you could create with it. 

 

Moo Two Designs also has a brand new Collaboration kit out called Chillin'.  It's for all those teen photos you have, this has some awesome pieces to it. 

  My newest kit isn't in the store yet, it should be either today or tomorrow.  Most of the flowers in this kit, some of the elements were all painted by me digitally. 

Here is a preview of it. Coming soon, that is the one thing I need to finish OMG I forgot. I will post it later today. Bye all for now

An Interesting Day

I had such an interesting day on Monday. And yes this is the first chance I have had to write about it. I have done nothing but think about it all week.
I am on Facebook, yes I am . Thou I don't get on it much. But most of all of my husband's family is on facebook. One of his brothers Alan, and his family are missionaries in Russia. They are home right now for a year and his oldest girls are on Facebook, so it will be a great way to stay better in touch with them when they leave in Aug to go back to Russia. I had gotten a email that someone wanted to add me as a friend. You know how names look familiar but you just can't place that name. I sat there for the longest time just staring at the name, cause I know I knew it, I just couldn't remember from where. So I went to Facebook, click on his photo and don't you know, all those memories came flooding back from my college days at CCBI, in Syracuse NY. It was one of my classmates from CCBI contacting me. It's been well over 20 years since we have spoken. It was just so amazing, I actually felt giddy again, haven't felt that way in a long long time. Bob, is his name, we called him little Bobby. He was such a sweet heart and the partying we use to do. We had some really good times together. It was so nice to hear from him after all these years. After Easter when I get a chance I want to find my yearbook from there and just go back thur some more great memories I had from College.

I have two new kits going in the stores. One is in the store now over at K-Joi Studios, hopefully I will have time tonight to get it in the store over at Michelle's Angels and Studio Style Designs, cause this morning I have kind of a busy morning. I am making my husband spaghetti and meatballs (but don't tell him OK) and then I have to get all the eggs stuffed for Easter Morning Egg hunt with our daughter. She starts Spring Break here tomorrow, Saturday we have a Easter party at church to go too, then 2 of my husbands nieces have birthdays this month, so we are getting together with his family Saturday night to celebrate those, plus his mom just had hip reconstruction surgery last Friday. Just busy busy weekend, so not sure what time Saturday night we will be home. So I am taking the kid upstairs to bed Saturday night and daddy is playing the Easter Bunny so I need to have it all done by then. OMG Things you have to do.

Here is my new kit Dino Land.
Then I have another new kit but it doesn't have a name, I just couldn't think of anything that sounded good, so I thought I would give you all the chance to name my new kit and if your name is chosen you get the kit for free.
BUT you need to go over to K-Joi Studios' message boards to leave your suggests. then all the suggestions that I get, I am going to make a poll of them and you guys get to choose the name. The name that is chosen will win the kit for free and all the names that didn't get chosen will be put into a hat and my daughter will pick out a name and that person will also win the kit. So you have two chances to win. I hope you all come over cause this kit is really awesome. It looks better than the previews, I hate the previews, everything has to be so small to fit everything in there. LOLSo if you want to come join the Name my Kit Challenge, click the preview and it will take you to the message boards, but you have to registered to post.

Just a little thank you for all your nice comments on the Easter Blog train and ADSD Blog train. I would love to see your layouts that you make from the kits that I do. If you have any that you would like me to post on my blog, pass them on to me. I would be more than happy to put them on the blog. BIG HUGS to everyone.

And one final note if I don't get a chance before Sunday, I want to wish everyone a very Happy Easter. Have fun with all your friends and family celebrating this Easter.

We woke this morning to a gorgeous snow fall. The first one of the year. I have a layout I did to share with you but first some news.
I just wanted to say thanks to everyone who gave me comments on my disastrous Halloween and to let you all know that on Saturday morning we went back to the vets and after about 2 hours we were able to get Smokey in the car and on our way home. So he is home very safe and sound and I might add very happy. God love um. LOLMy daughter, Kimberly, was just so excited to see the snow. She really hasn't had much experience with all the snow stuff. LOL Yeah in snowed in NJ but not like here in Upstate NY. It would snow and most cases within a couple days was gone. If it stayed there really wasn't much and turned to ice soon afterward. This is nice fluffy snow, Frosty type snow. :-)


I have a brand new kit in the store at Kjoi Studios and will be in Studio Style Design by mid week. It's called Tinsel Town. I had a lot of fun doing this kit.
Here is a preview.
I will have a new freebie for you either later today or tomorrow morning I just have some finishing touches to do on it.

As you all can see

by going to a lot of blogs Halloween has arrived. Me I am not that proficient in html to be able to change my backgrounds for the holidays, thou I would love too, just not enough time to do everything I want to do. LOL BUT I have a brand new kit and freebie for you all. Cool huh, I thought so. I love Halloween, it's my favorite day of the year. Why? Cause it's the only day of the year you can be whom ever you want to be and nobody makes fun of you. It's also supposely the only day of the year where the dead can walk among the living and if that means that my mom can walk beside me for one day of the year, I am all for it.
Just a bit of Halloween (I know, I know I couldn't come up with a better name).12 papers and 25 different elements. I love this kit, you get a little bit of scary and a lot of cutey for all those Halloween photos. See the paper - purple with the house and moon on it, I left the house and moon as a seperate overlay so you can remove it if you want and just use the purple paper.
I also have some really cool Monster Pics Frames and a Halloween freebie for you all. The Pumpkin patch border is part of the kit.


Then I have a great freebie for you all, a quickpage and some Halloween buttons. But it seems it's taking 4 share for ever to upload so might be awhile before you can download it.

Then if you can find time leave me some love when you download. Opinions are also appreciated.

New Kit

I got the new kit in the store. It's called Carousel. I think you will all love this kit. It's bright, cheery and full of fond memories of childhood, riding those Carousel horses. I used to have a really good friend that I worked with when I lived in Utica, NY that use to collect everything and anything to do with carousels. He was nuts. OMG you won't believe the stuff he had. At the time I had my own ceramic business and he painted every carousel horse that I could get for him. The collection he had. I still have one of his pieces here that is wooden that I was suppose to decorate for him. Had forgot all about it till I found it when I was setting up my craft room. Gee that was 8 years ago when I married my hubby. Here is the preview and don't forget to go down below my layout using the kit to get the free quick page I made. There is so many elements in the kit that I couldn't get everything pictured, so you will be surprised. Thanks for looking everyone.

TGIF

Good morning all, and happy start of the weekend to everyone. I am very excited today. Tomorrow we are have a big party for my husband who turned a half a century year old on Mother's Day. It's going to be the first time in a long time that me and my 3 brothers are all in the same room together, at the same time. LOL I am really looking forward to it. And it's going to be the first time in a while that Phil has been with couple of his brothers and one of sisters and their parents in a long time too. It's very exciting. I am so glad to be home and it's been so great to spend time with our families and to have kids for my daughter to play with. It's great that when we wake up in the morning and the baby asks, can we go to grandpa's house. LOL She loves her grandparents. She even went over there last Monday night to help grandma and grandpa plants flowers. When she got home she was so proud of herself that she wanted me to go back over with her so she could show me the flowers she planted.
I also have a new kit for you all. I have a great time making this kit cause it really describes how my life goes some days and I know if you all admit it, your life goes that way too some days. LMAO.
And it has the greatest quote in it too - "If you love someone put their name in a circle, not a heart, because a heart can be broken, but a circle goes on forever" by Brian Littrell.
I put a quickpage in the kit for you too. I will try and sometime either today or over the weekend get you all a freebie to go with the kit. I hope you all enjoy it. Have a great weekend.

Here is a preview of the quickpage
