What??

I'm shocked! No one has entered my giveaway yet for the My Memories Suite Digital Scrapbook Software! So here is a little idea of how easy it is to make a fun page!


And here is another page I made.


To win your free software, be sure to leave a comment on THIS post.

Giveaway Time!

OK, to make up for my lack of blogging, how about a giveaway?? I was supposed to do this back in December, but with my computer dying, the dog trying to die, the holiday's and now homeschooling....it kinda got put on the back burner.
**************
So, how many of you scrapbook? Ever do it digitally? Well, I would love to scrapbook, but really don't have the time. But I do find digital scrapbooking an enjoyable alternative. It takes me less time since I don't have to acquire all the supplies, mess up my workspace, and then clean up!

I've had the pleasure of trying out a wonderful digital scrapbook software called My Memories. It is pretty easy to get the hang of and I LOVE checking out the site with all the fun papers, embellishments, and even FREEbies!!

My Memories Suite has so much cool stuff, I bet you could find just about any theme you want. And, for my giveaway...how about your own copy of the digital scrapbook software! Just stop by their website and check out the themes. Find your favorite product and let me know in the comments of this post. On Monday, January 30th, I will pick a winner! You will then win your very own copy!

Just use code STMMMS82058 at checkout! And while you are at it....check out some of the neat pages I created!

Oops!

Sorry, I guess I've dropped the ball when it comes to blogging again. I am just so crazed right now with all the changes in my life. Unfortunately, I don't deal well with changes. I'm trying, but some things I just need to let slide by.

Homeschooling is going well. We have good days and bad days. I am learning new ways of dealing with them and tweaking our sessions to our advantage. I still think I am having more fun with it than my daughter is, LOL!

I hadn't said anything about this before, but my fur-baby Cash has been throwing us for a loop over the last month. He tried to die on us right before Christmas and it has been a stressful month of vet appointments, shoving meds down his throat, and not leaving him alone much. He appears to be getting better, but even after $3000, we still have no idea what is making him sick. Both Phenomia and Lupus have been suggested, but all tests that have been done have come back negative. And then, on top off it all, he hurt his leg on Monday and I really thought he broke it!

As for crocheting, I am on a deadline crunch and even though the yarn I am using for my current project is the best choice for it, it is also a PAIN to crochet with! I have to take many breaks because my hands cramp up and I don't have anything nice to say about weaving in it's ends!!!

So, in a nutshell, I could really use a massage! A nice bottle of wine would be good too!

Off to the Publisher!

And it's off to the presses!! This was such a fun item to design and I think you will all love it! I can't tell you what it is...but I can give you some hints!

The yarn is one of my newest favorites to design with! Spud & Chloe Sweater! And the colors are Turtle and Firefly. Don't you just love those names??? I also love reading their blog....be sure to check it out!

And I bet you are wondering where it is going....well I am happy to say that I am working with the amazing team over at Cooperative Press! This fun item will soon be found in their Fresh Designs Crochet series of books. And, by the way, this one will be in the KIDS book! Be sure to stop by their site and check out some of their other books.

OK, time to move on to the next project....have I mentioned that 2012 will be a great year for published designs for me??

Manic Monday!

Well, it's time to start a new week! Our first partial week of home school went fine. I did some adjusting and I think I am ready for week 2. Heather is enjoying herself and we are coming up with all kinds of creative ways to get our jobs done. I hope this week goes smoothly too.

I've finished up my current crochet/knitting projects and it is time to mail some off. I have plans to start some new ones asap...but first a few design submissions need to sent off too. But more about these at a later time.

I also sold a custom order this week, so I need to whip up a Custom Sailor Hat. Isn't this just the cutest photo by Robin Long Photography?

OK, I need to get moving...lots to do today. Have a great day!

Valentine's Day is Coming!

Rolled brim hat is available in 3 sizes! Be sure to purchase the size needed for your head!

As seen in Crochet World Magazine!

I know it is only January 5th, but Valentine's Day will be here before you know it!! I've just listed some cute Valentine's Day hats in my Etsy shop as custom made items! Get them sooner rather than later!
