Taking a small break

I am taking a small break from designing templates & kits for awhile so I can catch up with some of my Lay Outs I need to get done for my daughter's scrapbooks. I will post some of my layouts here when I get a chance. I just want to say thank you to all those of you who downloaded and used my templates from my hearts series. I hope you are enjoying them.

Happy Valentine's Day

I am so pleased with all the comments I got from my Hearts Template Series. It makes me feel really good that there are some of you out there that like my ideas and work.

I hope everyone has a wonderful Valentine's Day. I surprised my husband this morning by putting his Valentine's gifts in his truck last night so he'd find them first thing this morning. I made him a picture frame that says Daddy's Princess on it and put a picture of Allison in it for him. We also made a card from Allison. I found a really touching card at the store that had everything I wanted to say to him in the words I'd use if I could get them out as elegantly as the card was writen. I bought him a Reese's Peanut Butter cup heart and we made white chocolate covered pretzels at MOPS yesterday so I added those in with my gift. I think he was surprised.
Here is a picture of the frame I made:


Ok now for today's template. This is the last template in the Hearts Series.

Hearts And More Template Layout

A member of the same CT I'm on for Templates-N-More sent me a layout she made using my Hearts And More Template I posted a week or so ago here. It's a great LayOut. So I'd like to share.

My Personality...or what the test results show anyway

I took this test a friend of mine did on MySpace on her Blog and well it pretty much is the truth about my personality. Pretty cool anyway so I thought I'd share for all my blogger friends out there.


My Personality

Neuroticism	89
Extraversion	25
Openness to Experience	13
Agreeableness	53
Conscientiousness	43

You often resist any cravings or urges that you have, but sometimes you give in, however you feel enraged when things do not go your way. You are sensitive about being treated fairly and feel resentful and bitter if you think you are being cheated. You tend to feel overwhelmed by, and therefore actively avoid, large crowds. You often need privacy and time for yourself. You prefer dealing with either people or things rather than ideas. You regard intellectual exercises as a waste of your time. You do not like to claim that you are better than other people, and generally shy from talking yourself up, however you believe that a certain amount of deception in social relationships is necessary. You are guarded in new relationships and less willing to openly reveal the whole truth about yourself. You take your time when making decisions and will deliberate on all the possible consequences and alternatives.

Take a Personality Test now or view the full Personality Report. A range of Jewelry.

More Hearts

I'm feeling a little under the weather today. Everyone has been sick around here and I've been battling a sore throat for 2 days and woke up this morning with a stuffy nose. Allison has had a runny nose all week and seems to feel bad this morning. We've been working on potty training and she doesn't want much to do with it this morning. My husband has to work all weekend so I'm stuck at home sick and with a sick kid. Blah!

I haven't fallen off of the face of the Earth!!

I am so sorry. I have really let my blog go this past 2 weeks. I have just been having a lot of things coming up and trying to do too many things at once. I have worked on more templates for my Hearts Series, but have decided to wait until February 1st to reveal anymore templates. I hope to have a template each day in February for you guys up til Valentine's Day so that means I have about 10 more templates to make to catch up, but I'll get it done I promise. So be looking out for 14 new templates between February 1st & the 14th. I also have a new kit finished that I will get up sometime between then. I just wanted everyone to know I've not disappeared and will be back in a couple days with an exciting new series for everyone to enjoy and use.

Heart's Template #3

Sorry I was too busy to get around to posting a new template in my series. I'm still working up more ideas as I go along so this maybe a big template series if I keep it up. I'm also got a few ideas in the works for kits possibly coming up in the next few weeks, I just have to get the stuff done. I'm also trying to fit in time to scrap Lay Outs and take new pics so I have something to scrap. I just feel so overwelmed by it all sometimes, but I love doing it. Scrappin' keeps me sane. LOL! I hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend. We have had a good one so far Allison and I spent the day with my Dad and family. Poor Keith (my hubby) had to work, but it was a beautiful day today so we enjoyed it.

New Template Series

I know I have really been slacking on my blog lately. Sorry to all my fans. I've just not been in the creative scrappin' mood. I have also been really busy with my daughter lately. We've been working on a schedule for us during the day and I find I have barely any internet time anymore, but that is fine because I need to spend more time with my daughter. We also started a MOPS (Mother's of Preschoolers) group last week and we'll be going to meeting every 2 weeks. I am working on trying to socialize her more since we're at home so much. I have noticed a real change in her behavior so she is improving in all areas. I just finished reading the "Super Nanny: How to get the best from your children" book as well and started a reward & chores chart for my daughter, she loves it. She's quiet a little helper. :)

Well enough about what's going on in my life I know you guys just really are here for the freebie so I'll shut up. Teehee...LOL!

Here is the first of a few Hearts templates I've made. I'll be offering the others a little bit along the next few weeks. So check by soon.

Working on my Wedding Album Again --New Layout

Hi everyone. I hope everyone who reads my blog is doing well. I am trying to get back into the swing of things and getting some creative juices flowing once again. I've really been slacking on making layouts so I thought I'd get back into it again and pick up on my Wedding Album today I've been working on for the past 8 months or so. Yeah so it's taken over 8 years to make a wedding scrapbook, so what...LOL! I still need to get my lazy butt in my closet and scan more pictures for the scrapbook, but I'm really in no hurry seeing as it's taken me this long to get started on this book anyway. It's been a couple months since I've made a layout for this book so today I have a layout I made using a template from the DID Scrapbook Forum, it's one of Trish's (templates-n-more) templates and a really good one. You can head over to her blog for more info on how to get it.
