still battling
hi! yep- i'm still battling the allergy/head cold of winter 09. it's been just over a week now- i'm 97% better, but the lingering last bit is driving me crazy. the chapped cracked upper lip from too much nose blowing is the worst. i'm thankful that it's not serious like the flu, but i'm over it. seems like this year, with my daughter taking more preschool classes at the rec center, we're being exposed to lots more ick. friends tell me to expect to be catching everything until she's in like the 5th grade, when we'll finally have built up some immunity- ugh. are you kidding me? i'm already carrying bottles of hand sanitizers & anti-bac wipes everywhere we go, so i guess there's not much else we can do. "take your vitamins" is what i hear my dad saying in my head constantly ;)
i did manage to mail out some valentines & get my SIS Rainbow swap cards done & out (but sadly, they did go out a couple of days behind).
i am definitely going to the ScrapETC event again this year- i am super, super stoked to go see my girls- Mandy, Lisa, Virginia, LeAnne..WooHOO!! i'm hoping Tina, Patricia, Mary, Katie & Kathy will be there too. i've never been to Atlanta- so can you tell, i'm excited!?! Lucy, the kits, the store, the DT girls- all of it- they are just the best at ScrapETC!!! click the blinkie on the side bar to see the event details & go with me!!
i had to make 3 sets of 'purple' cards. i used corrugated cardboard, paint, doodlebug ribbons/trims, creative charms sequin flowers (love these-couldn't resist the touch of pink), heart stamp (heidi swapp). the back's are just purple card stock stamped with my houndstooth stamp (hero arts). i used colorbox ink in eggplant. i thought these turned out pretty cool!

mia
sorry- i've been missing for a while. my Mac was down & out for repairs- i can't tell you how crazy & lost i was without my computer! i was worried if i would lose all my photos (over 12,000) & data/stuff- it was awful! my life is on my machine!
my husband's been out traveling for the last few weeks & now that he's back home, my daughter & i are battling horrible allergies- some of the worst we've ever suffered. i'll be so so thankful when our sinuses ease up & we can breathe again! it is such a pain and driving me crazy.
we're also super busy these days- Mimi is in classes 4 days a week across town- it's fun but we're always running somewhere. i have to get to bed earlier too, so am not up late enjoying creative time- although i did take another AWESOME card class taught by my amazingly talented friend Laura. love her & her cards!!
i did want to share info about some amazing challenges & projects going on:
• first up is the weekly challenges at the ScrapETC forums- come on over & create a free user account & get in on the fun! The Design team is posting amazing challenges. These are my favorite girls in the universe & my friend Mandy has a great challenge up this week- use the word 'crush' somehow in the title of a project. deadline is the 22nd! please try & play along!! i'm hoping to do this one soon!
• next up are rockin' hybrid projects that are cheap & cool. You download & print from House of 3 this is a total no-brainer- it's Heidi, Janet & Rhonna together- they make for some fabulous digi-goodness-you gotta go check 'em out!
• i also can't wait for my Feb. Scripts kit to arrive. These kits rock!
• ooh & my Jenni Bowlin project kit should be here soon too! this month's project is too stinkin' cute!
I'm also participating in 3 swaps this month on SIS- 2 are 6x6 recipe cards and i also have to bust out 18 purple ATC's for a rainbow ATC swap! thankfully, they're not due until the end of the month- so i hope i can feel well enough soon to get to work on them.
i'll try to update this post with some project pics as i go!
