Good Morning

OK, I am still around, still designing LOL. It seems no matter what I do, bloggin is never in the fore front of what I have to do and there is never enough time in the day to do everything that I want or need to do.
Things over at K-Joi have been busy the last few weeks. You all should come check it out, we have some new talented designers. And the one reason I am writing this morning is to invite you all to come participate in this month's color challenge. Oh but wait this color challenge is like no other color challenge on the net.
Have you ever thought, oh I would have loved to contribute to that collaboration kit, or wonder what it was like to do a collaboration kit. This month's color challenge is just that. I have given you a color pallet you anyone that is participating is making pieces toward a collaboration kit that we will be given to everyone that joins us. So come on over for some fun. I will see you there. If you need some inspiration or don't think you can do this, come check out what has already been submitted to the challenge.

You if you face book, you can add me to follow me on face book, I don't do much advertising there just mostly keeping up with my family and friends. I have gotten into that yet. LOL But I do have some news to share with you all.

Some really exciting news

has happened in our family. My brother in law Nate and his wife Susan just had the cutest set of twins on June 30th. Here is a layout I did with the babies first pictures.

A new month

Boy does it seem that the summer is flying by, it's already July and everyone is getting ready to celebrate the 4th of July. Which we are going to take the baby to see fireworks, which should be fun.
I do apologize for not being able to contribute to the ADSD Blog Train this month. Time just flew by and I didn't get a chance to make anything. Had so much going on in June, with Father's day, my daughter graduating Kindergarten, which was just a tear jerker it wasn't funny. Plus all my other obligations you know housework and cooking LOL there just isn't enough time in one day or week to do everything that needs to be done.
My daughter is now a 1st grader. I tell you this, her kindergarten teach Ms. Sestach, was such a great teacher. She sent home a letter to Kimberly telling her what a pleasure it was to have her in her class. She also sent home a DVD with pictures of all the kids thur the year. She put the pictures to music, the first song is the new song by Mylie Cyrus - The Climb and the second song was My Wish by Rascal Flatts, talk about the water works flowing. I cried thur the whole thing. But what a nice memory she will have when she gets older. High School graduation and showing this to her. LOL

Just click on the flyer and it will take you to my store. Plus I have a new kit too, to celebrate The Red, White and Blue.and you don't even have to buy this kit you could get it for FREE, yuppers I said it FREE.
