Happy Crappy Scrappy Saturday

You still have a chance to win a Mega Kit from MLAS. Check my October 3 post.

The new challenges are under way at MLAS and you can earn points toward free merchandise.

And since it's going to be a "crappy" weather weekend in New England, I think I will spend my time watching tv and doing some digi-scrapping. I have a couple of great new kits from Bubblescrap Designs, and I'm going to use them for the challenges.

I have started on the creative team for Mye at Bubblescrap Designs. Here are some LO's I did using her kit Citrus Medley. You can get this kit at Ivy Scraps.





Now for a freebie...

My Busy Week and Some Freebies

So it was a busy week and I didn't exercise at all.
Monday-holiday (no exercising on holidays)
Tuesday-zoning board hearing (long story)
Wednesday-haircut and dinner out
Thursday-nails done and dinner out
So, you can't cook dinner after getting your haircut or your nails done and you can't exercise after a dinner out. SO this week did not lend itself to exercising. (And it's not MY fault!) So maybe next week then? Oh, I know it's only Thursday, but I never exercise on Friday (I go out with my friends after work) and I usually like to relax on the weekends. So again I say, Maybe next week.

I have accepted an offer from Mye of Bubblescrap Designs to be on her creative team. She has just ventured into the world of designing and I already like what I see. I did several LO's with her kits already and posted them in the gallery at MLAS. Her kits will be for sale at Ivy Scraps. She has a couple more stores in the works, but she will announce them later.

Speaking of MLAS; tomorrow starts a new set of challenges for the month. You should definitely stop by to check them out.

Here's a QP freebie for you from the Lazy Days of Summer Mega kit at MLAS, I have this kit and it is jam packed with awesome paper and elements. Here's the link to the store.



AND here's a link to a freebie kit from Tempus Fugit called Old Treasures. It is really beautiful.

Happy Columbus Day

So it's a holiday here and there's no school (sometimes I love my job). We have a weekend Autumnfest celebration here in Woonsocket and usually it's a lot of fun. BUT, maybe I'm feeling my age, because this year, I'm just not into it. I usually spend this morning at a parade, but today I decided to stay home and watch the parade on tv (how sad is that?) I'm already sick of the cold weather. It's only 47 degrees right now and that's too cold to be sitting outside waiting for the marching bands to come by.

Instead, I will sit on my couch and watch the parade on tv and digiscrap at the same time. Maybe I have an addiction?

There's a speed scrap today at MLAS at 2:30 EST. The posting prize it adorable.

There is lots going on over at MLAS. Tempus Fugit is having a grand opening sale and she has a freebie. You should go over and check it all out.
Also, since today is the 12th, that means there are only a few days left to get in on the October challenges for the first half of the month.
I would love to give away a free Mega Collab kit, so check out my Oct. 3rd blog entry and give it a try.

Falling off the Wagon and a QP Freebie

So did you hear that sound? That was me falling off the wagon. My dear husband had a bad day at work (he teaches middle school in an urban district) so we went out for a couple of drinks after work. So I managed to make it to 4 days of no alcohol and 4 days of waling on my treadmill. BUT, tomorrow I have to start the count again!

There are so many things happening at MLAS and I'm having so much fun getting in the middle of it all. The October challenges are all under way. And the new mega kit is almost ready and there are a whole lot of sales going on. I made my first QP's and figured out how to load them to 4share, and I think that I'm so smaaht that I figured that out. (I'm from RI)
So here they are. I would love it if like maybe 3 people actually downloaded them.

Three Days in a Row!

Yes that's right, I have walked on my treadmill 3 days in a row. I need the exercise, but I always have an excuse. Too tired, too hungry, too many other things to do, my computer is calling me...you get the idea. Well I have a doctor's appointment in November and although I consider myself in decent shape, at last check my weight was up and so was my cholesterol....so...I have to get my butt off the couch and be a little more active.
I also have to try to give up the nightly cocktail. My excuse for having it is...it relaxes me, my job is stressful, I just like it. But I'm sure the alcohol is not helping with the weight or cholesterol or the motivation to exercise.
Soooo, it's been 3 days of exercising and not drinking. I felt like if I posted it here, I would be more motivated to continue. You are my support group.

Anyway...about My Life and Scrap

October challenges are in full swing and there a lots of good deals in the shop. Monday I blogged about JennCK and 3 Dog Designs Sales.
Today I'll tell you about Connie Prince and Scrap Berry Designs. These are great designers with sales you should definitely check out.



Here are a couple of LO's that I did using RebeccaPSP's Tulippng and Falling For You. Both kits are awesome and available at MLAS.




Stop back later in the week and these two pages will be available as free quick pages!

It Feels Like Fall

School is in full swing, the leaves are starting to change and there's a chill in the air. I do love this time of year, because the air is so fresh and all the leaves are turning to beautiful deep rich colors. This past weekend we celebrated my parent's 50th anniversary and I scrapped some pages using RebeccaPSP's Tulipping. It has beautiful fall colors.




I used some of these LO's for the challenges at MLAS. If you participate in the challenges, you can get points towards free stuff and many of the challenges have a prize just for playing.
Speaking of MLAS, there are several sales going in right now. There are some new designers and they are having grand opening sales. JennCK Designs and 3 Dog Designs are 30% off.
