New Kit, Some News and a Freebie QP!

Hi all,

Hope everyone is having a great weekend. Mine has been busy....catching up on housework, laundry and working at the computer. You may remember that my company recently closed it's local branch, so I was about to lose my job. Unfortunately that did happen, but the owner asked me to stay on as webmaster for their site (working from home). I thought it would be a couple of hours at the weekend...but it's proving to be much more than that just keeping it up to date! However, I am enjoying it and it's something to add to my resume! I also started a new job...but that's a whole other story!

My BIG news is that I have been asked to join the design team at Crafty Scraps store - owned by Michelle McCoy!!! I am SO excited about that!!!! Please go pay the store a visit....there are some amazing kits and all at VERY reasonable prices! I uploaded my first few kits during this week, including the newest kit "Ice Cream Colors" which I just finished last night. You can get the kit either in my own store or at Crafty Scraps. You can see the freebie QP below, which I used for an Easter layout. If you'd like the QP you can get it here....and PLEASE remember to leave a comment while you're waiting for it to download.

Now, for me even BIGGER news!!!! Cliff and I were really excited to hear that Brooks and Dunn are playing at the Amphitheater at Orange Beach (about an hour's drive from here) and decided to join the fan club so we could buy our tickets early. Well, when I was looking at their website I saw that fanclub members who had tickets could enter a drawing to win a "Meet and Greet" with the boys. Yep, you've guessed it...I'm going to meet Kix and Ronnie in person!!!! I got the email on Friday telling me the good news and I didn't stop smiling all day! I'm just hoping I don't turn into a gibbering wreck when it's my turn to say hello...and that the photos turn out good enough to scrap! The concert is on July 24th, so look out for a layout from me very soon after that.

That's all my news for today.....I'll have other much bigger personal news to share in a couple of weeks (hopefully) so do come back and join in my celebrations! (no....no-one is expecting a baby!!!)

Take care and see you soon....keep on scrappin'!
