Win my SCRAPABLE store?

To celebrate a wonderful month as a guest designer at Scrapable, I’m doing a giveaway of my entire shop there.  If you’re interested in winning, click the Facebook link at the top of my blog…the details are all there!

Hope everyone had a lovely Easter…we are spring breaking it at home this week.  Fingers crossed for nice weather and a good riddance to the bees/wasps/yellow jackets that have invaded my backyard!  The children MUST be able to play outside!!!

Capri Sun Straws (and a new release, too!)

First, a vent.  My family goes thru a lot of capri sun pouches (you know, don’t mess with the pouch).  Nothing irritates me more than the times that we end up short a capri sun straw.  If you’re not familiar with these handy little drinks, let me explain.  They are foil pouches of juice and there is a particular skinny, pointed straw that is supposed to be attached…just the right size for poking into the itty bitty skinny minny hole that the fine people at capri sun have placed for maximum drinking pleasure.  The average straw will not fit in there without a workout that burns far more calories than an average capri sun contains.  We ALWAYS end up short a straw…and my children are notorious for “borrowing” straws from other pouches that may not be the flavor that their strawless, desired pouch is.  I try to remember to save the straws, but oftentimes they are chewed up beyond use.  Would it be wrong for me to petition the capri sun people to sell a baggy of, say, 100 capri sun straws?  I may have to write a letter…

Onward and upward to a new release…

Today at Scrapable I have a new mini kit:  Spring Clean.Thanks for bearing with my straw rant and staying long enough to check out my new release.  Have a wonderful weekend!

Almost here…

I am not usually one to complain about the weather…what is, IS…there’s nothing I can do about it anyway, so best to just move on to things I can do.  BUT…today is officially the last day of winter and MAN what a winter it’s been!  So tomorrow is spring and I have to say that I’ve never been more ready for it…even the sunshine is cooperating and it’s a gorgeous day.  This week has been great for the kids to be outside – and we ALL needed that!

So spring is about new beginnings and this blog is the start of that!  Special thanks to Anne Quade for handling the techy side of setting up this blog and all that goes with it – and for her tireless patience in offering honest opinions!

It’s friday – and that means new release day at Scrapable (where I’m guesting this month)…some fun and exciting plans being discussed there, so stay tuned for updates!  This is my new mini kit – and it’s 20% off for a few days!

Thanks for stopping by – and check back this weekend…I may have a lil’ freebie posted!

Have a wonderful day!
