BIG NEWS!!



I have decided, after MUCH debate, prayers, and talking with a few friends and family, to open a blog store of my own. It took me a while to finally decide to, there was a lot of going back and forth between I really should, and no way do I want to do THAT, but once I did make the decision to open, I buckled down, stayed up late a lot, and got it done. I feel that it will be a way for God to help provide us with that little bit extra we sometimes need, so really couldn't make any other decision...I guess it just took me a little while to accept that.

I hope all of you fans, won't get to upset, because as you know, I haven't really wanted to sell, (I got over wanting to a long time ago) but with the way things have been around here, the last several months, I really needed to have a way to possibly make a little extra money. I don't think I will be making all that many kits, I will be lucky to do one a month...but every little bit helps. Even if it just brings in enough to cover some of my Scrapbooking expenses, that will help. (The Dover books and commercial use things I use now and then, to make kits with, add up.)

So anyway, over the past several weeks, I've been busy, working on a couple new kits, making some qp's, and new cluster frames. I do have a few of my other kits that had been freebies in the store too, so if you are new to my site, and missed them, you can purchase them in the store!

I have one of my past free cluster frame sets, as a freebie in the store, so they can be tried, before you purchase any, as well as a quick page set, and a mini kit. Friday and Sat. Dec. 14 and 15, there will be a new mini kit freebie on the Freebie page of the google group, so if you haven't joined, you may want to! You can see the freebie in the store, its the Blooming Delight add on kit. It will only be available for a couple days, but if you miss it, you can buy it in the store, after that.

I've been spending way to much time at the computer trying to get all this done, and ready to open, as well as keep making layouts, but its been fun. I have set up a "gallery" blog, just for layouts made by me or any team members, I may end up with in the future, to post to, so you can see layouts made with my kits. The link is at the top of the side bar, as well as the store link. I did change my blinkie's just a tad, to include the Blog Store, so if you want to, you can snag either of them (small one in the side bar, bigger one on the about me page) and use them on your site.

Don't expect the "gallery" or store to fill up to fast, as my main priority in scrapbooking is still layouts, and using the beautiful kits I pick up from other wonderful designers. So if you still like seeing my layouts, using others kits, or reading my long rambles, you won't be disappointed, because that won't change!! I'll still be the same, long winded, off on a tangent person, who loves to ooh and ahhhh over Blushbutters and Lara Paytons kits...along with anyone Else's who I happen to be enjoying using at the time....like Shadow Scraps... that I've always been! *giggle* The only thing that will change, will be the fact that some of the "ads" I have here, will be for MY store, not just the other wonderful designers I love.

So I hope you will stick with me in my new adventure, and let me know how I'm doing from time to time. Because those wonderful comments of yours still make my day!

Ok, so maybe this isn't as big of news as I led you to believe in my last post.....but in a way it is, cause two or three months ago, I would have laughed at anyone who said I would decide to sell my things, yet here I am, with a store. Yeah its "just" a blog store, but still, its a place that people can buy my things, should they decide they want to, so its still a store.

Come visit my store and feel free to let me know what you think!
