My Super Big Announcement!!!

I know you have all been waiting and wondering, so here I am to reveal my big announcement. I have teamed up with one of my favorite designers, not to mention friends, to create a super excellent collab kit to be sold exclusively at Sweet Shoppe Designs. Lauren Grier and I collaborated on this super cute kit, Snow Buddies. Check it out:

Home for Christmas, A Free with Purchase, and a Freebie

Hi everyone, Happy Thanksgiving!! I hope that you all have a restful one. I have some pretty big announcements for you today.

1. In celebration of my favorite holiday of the year, Black Friday (the largest shopping day of the year), we are having ANOTHER sale at MSS. As of midnight last night, almost the whole store is 60% off. That means that everything is crazy priced...for example, my newest Holiday Grab Bag #1 is on sale for only $1.60!!! There are tons of other things at rock bottom prices, check them out.

2. Pillowgirl and I have been working hard for the last week or so on a great new collab kit. It's called Home for Christmas, and it is perfect for simple holiday layouts and projects.

It was just added to the store here, and is available now for only $2.00. There is also a set of premade cards to go with it, which are available for $1.20, but if you buy the mega kit, you get the cards as a FREE WITH PURCHASE!!














3. To help celebrate the release of our collab kit, Pillow and I have FREEBIE samplers to go with the kit. Check it out:



You can download it HERE now. And don't forget to stop by Pillowgirl's blog and grab her part too.

Happy Thanksgiving!

I know it's a day early, but I wanted to make sure I got this posted and out there for everyone. I hope that everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving, and that everyone gets the opportunity to reflect on what they are thankful for.

For me, I am thankful for many many things. I am thankful for my family, my health, etc...and the computer and internet. All the things people would usually be thankful for. In recent weeks, due to some stressful family circumstances, I have also seen how thankful I am for the extended family I have found here online, and in the teachers at school. In times of need, true friends will be at your side. I am also thankful that I witness these acts of kindness among my friends daily.

Now that I have been all reflective, I think I will go on with my daily business. By the way...come back on Friday, I will have some MAJOR announcements. I mean MAJOR.

Hi everyone!

How quickly the weeks are passing by. I can't believe that Thanksgiving is this week. Then we begin the real rush to Christmas. We have been running around here trying to get stuff together and done so that we have less to do as the holiday approaches. It's amazing how everything needs to be organized just so in order to get it all done. You should see my to do list, it's growing and growing, and getting more and more detailed.

I have a couple new products coming up this week, that I can't wait to show you. For those of you who were at the MSS chat last week, you know that I have a Collab kit with Pillowgirl coming out this week, and I have to say it's super cute. I am loving trying out these different holiday looks. I should have a few other fun products out this week, too. I am thinking printables and templates and such. I also have a pretty big announcement coming very soon. I cannot wait to tell everyone. It's pretty major.

I wanted to mention...I am doing the Ali Edwards' December Daily Project. You can check out the details on her blog, but it's a fun and easy project that will help you to capture the memories of the holiday season. I am going to be starting a separate blog for this project, so I will let you know when I get it done.

Until then...

I cannot believe it...

There is only something like 47 days left until Christmas. I know I have been working on Christmas stuff lately, and have already seen it at my second home Target, but I have no idea how time has gone by this fast. Santa has already started shopping here, taking advantage of the big red K's layaway program. It feels good to have that done. Now it's just everyone else.
We are truly holding back on decorating. Obviously, IRL it would be weird to decorate for Christmas before Thanksgiving, but with all the stores ready to go, it's hard to resist. We will wait though, in fear of ridicule from our family and friends. Instead we will leave up our Halloween decor until it's time for Christmas. That's way less weird, if you ask me.
This time of year is so busy as well. I don't think we have a full week of school for the next month. Then you add in shopping, prepping, scrapping, more shopping, family and all that...it's amazing I find time to breathe. This year though, I am doing the December Daily Project from Ali Edward's blog. Hopefully, it will keep me in the moment and still have memories to cherish.
Christmas is a great scrapping time too. I always end up spending way too much money on Holiday products just because they are sooo cute and fun. I have a whole disk of Holiday stuff from last year that I haven't even thought about pulling out yet. I love creating Holiday products, too. I have a new Holiday kit, and I am loving it. Check it out:

Merry and Bright has some of my favorite Christmas colors. It's so fun and cheery.

This week I also released a set of templates to make Printables. In this kit are some photo card templates, some notebook cover templates, gift card holders, and ornament templates. They will work well for making add ons to your kits, or to make gift making a snap. Check them out:


Hope everyone has a great week!
