It's Finally Time!...

So it's finally time! I'm so excited to announce to you that my new store is....

That's right! I'm now located at Scrappity-Doo-Dah.com!

You guys are so good! Either that or I made the game wayyy too easy LOL! I am so incredibly excited to be selling at Scrappity-Doo-Dah.com, I am among some wonderful, amazing, incredibly talented ladies. They have been so pleasant these past few weeks and I'm so proud to be able to join them at this wonderful store!

I know you guys are really looking forward to knowing who the contest winners are, so without further ado...

I used RANDOM.org to generate two numbers between 1 and 11 (the number of entries I received) and the winners are:



Comments numbers 2 and 11, which are Manda and Babybear Scraps! Congratulations girls, I will be emailing you soon with the coupon code to receive your $5 coupon to my shop, good for any PU/S4H/S4O items (CU excluded)!

For the rest of you, don't fret! My new shop is 35% off for the whole week (including all CU items). The discount will show up in your cart when you check out.

I've got some beautiful new goodies up in my brand new shop, including the items that you see above in the grand opening ad. I've got a new kit, "Frosty Freezy", just in time for the freezing cold weather and snow that has hit seemingly all of us recently, and some brand new CU Layered Overlays and CU Doodles.

Here are some sneak peeks - you have to head to my store to check out the full preview!



I have just fallen in love with this new kit, my CT have fallen in love with it, and I hope you will too! It has some gorgeous wintery colors in it, perfect for both boys and girls, and the elements will make you want to bundle up in a sweater with a cup of cocoa and scrap the night away! (At least it does me! lol!)

I have some awesome new things coming up in the next few weeks. I'm working on a fantastic new collab with a wonderful designer, and I'm working on putting together a newsletter. So if you're a fan of me, be on the lookout for that to pop up because I will put out a great freebie in the first issue!

I'll be back Wednesday with some brand new CT inspiration and as promised, I'll also bring back the CT Spotlight! Until then, happy scrapping!

SWAM - Blog Train, Grand Opening, and more! *CORRECTION*

Hello all! Good news, I'm feeling much better today - well right now anyway. This morning at work I got sick twice - too much nasty mucus - but I was feeling a little better by lunchtime. Wish I'd eaten something though - I'm starving, don't feel like getting up to cook, and Heath won't be home to bring me a sandwich for another two hours. :( Oh well...I'll have to get up and cook something for Isaac after I post this anyway. :)

Today I bring you a little information about all the good things going on over at Scraps With A Mouse this week. Lots of fun things!

If you haven't been following yet, you should hop on over to the SWAM Blog and check out the blog train going on right now! Today was my day to post, and I posted some beautiful (free!) glitter styles to match the colors of the scheme. And the best part is they are both PU and CU ok! For FREE! You can also pick up all the other designer's portions of the blog train - and be sure to stop back by tomorrow as it's the last day and tomorrow's freebie will be great to kick off the beginning of the Grand Opening!

Speaking of, the GO starts tomorrow! Since I've been sick, I've been pretty out of the loop, so I don't have a lot of info for you. But I do know that you will probably be able to go to the forum tomorrow and find out information. There also may be some things posted on the home page as well. Be sure to check out the store too. I may have a sale in store for you ;)

Oh and definitely be sure to check out the store and look for our first collab kit!

And pst...remember I mentioned something about a speed scrap? ;)

I'm hosting my first ever speed scrap at SWAM on Friday, Sept. 25th at 9PM CST. I got a little confused looking for equivalent times, but I think that would make it 8PM EST. I'm not sure about the others - like I said, I got really confused when searching for times lol.

*CORRECTION* Sorry all, I was informed that 9PM CST is actually 10PM EST! So sorry about that!

Sorry the information is so sporadic - since I've been sick I haven't gotten to check in much, or ask Selena about any info. I'll try to come back tomorrow with more info! :)

SWAM Grand Opening and Freebie Coming Soon!

Hey all!

I don't have much time, I just figured I should really stop by and let you all know that I haven't abandoned my blog lol!

Okay so the short story is this - I've been very sick this weekend. I originally started out thinking I might have the swine flu. I'd talked to a couple of friends of mine and it seemed like they'd had it, and read up on the symptoms on the Internet. So yesterday I went ahead and went to the doctor - I already had antibiotics that I was taking, but Thursday night my TMJ really hit me hard - probably because I had so much pressure in my head going on and I was stressed out thinking I had the swine flu. Anyway so I had to go to get something that would work on my TMJ, and found out at the doctor that I had a sinus infection - thank goodness! So I was given a different antibiotic to take care of that, plus heavy pain meds for the TMJ. I mean heavy. SO...I'm pretty out of it this weekend. Last night I was so dizzy that - well you know that feeling after you ride a ride at the carnival that goes around really fast? That you're still going around and around and it's making you sick? That's how I felt. Only my ride was going REALLY fast lol. I'm better today, I cut the dosage and it's still working for the pain but not with as bad of effects. I should be much better tomorrow, I have to work so I won't be drugged up on pain medications. I'm really going to try to get some stuff done tonight.

Therefore...tomorrow I will be making the big blog post. I will have information on Scraps With A Mouse's big grand opening (yay!), I will have a link to a freebie for all of you, and I will also be putting up information on the speed scrap I'll be hosting later next week! (Mark your calendar - it will be my first speed scrap so it will be great!) Also I will reveal a little information on the next two blog trains I will be participating in - both coming in October! So be sure to check back tomorrow!!!

My secret's out!...

That's right! I've opened up a new (MY FIRST!) shop! I can't tell everybody how incredibly excited I am to be in such a wonderful store. I've been a member at K-Joi now for about 1.5 years (if I remember right) and have been on the CT for probably approximately half of that time. The designers are all amazing - their designs are amazing, and they as people are amazing. They are always willing to answer a question, do a favor, or help you out in almost any way. If you post an ISO, there's almost always someone who has what you're looking for, knows where to find it, or is willing to make it. When you need a shoulder to lean on, they are there. When you have an announcement, they are just as excited for you as you are for yourself. All of them deserve so much praise for what they do, and all of their wonderful designs, layouts, and all that they do to make K-Joi what it is. Kara, the owner, works so hard to maintain a wonderful, customer-friendly store. If there's ever a problem she's there ASAP to resolve it and remedy it beyond what a lot of stores may do. And boy when I say she works hard, she really works hard - it really must be a full-time job to do what she does!

Please, please, please...even if you don't stop by my store, please do stop by some of the other designer's stores and take a look at their designs. Tiffany designs over there also, so this may be your chance to pick up some of her stuff as well. You're also more than welcome to join the forum, we are an incredibly friendly, DRAMA-FREE group of people! While you're there you can sign up for the newsletter to see our great deals and any sales we have going on (I may be having a sale coming up sometime this month, maybe even more than one!), and there's also tutorials in some newsletters, featured layouts/designers/members, and a special freebie in each newsletter that you can only get in the newsletter. There are also coupon codes in each one.

Here is the link to go directly to K-Joi's storefront. Navigation is very easy, so if you're looking for the shop or forum or even the blog, it's easily spotted. If you're only interested in my designs, you can go here, but I do urge to check out all the other fabulous designers and things K-Joi has to offer.

And don't worry, I will still offer the occassional freebie. I have noticed that everybody seems to enjoy the QP's from Tiff's kits, so I will try to put those out when I can. I will also be making QP's from some of my work when I have the time. Also, I will be putting up blinkies for you to snag soon, and if I catch you wearing my blinkie in any of the forums I participate in, you may be RAK'd! I want to thank all of you for supporting me by downloading my freebie kits, even when they weren't so fabulous lol! I will also be redesigning some of these kits now that I'm in a store and my skill level and knowledge is a bit better. If you'll notice, all my products in the store all newly revealed...they have never been offered as a freebie before. And I have a special deal on the whole Father's Day collection, which I titled Daditude.

I will leave you to roaming the shop now and come back with more stuff later, must go get some fresh air now! It is incredibly hot in this house of mine!! Again, thank you to all my wonderful blog readers and I hope you take advantage of any of my deals, and enjoy them! Coupon expires Tuesday night at 11:59PM.
