What an honor !

My "Splish Splash" Layout was chosen as

on the Cricut Circle Blog today !

Thanks PC for picking the layout. I love it too! \

P.S. Our resident silly 8 year old was thrilled to see herself on the blog today ! That kid is such a ham :)  

Oh Goodness...I Won !!

It was a great Friday for me !  Thanks to a few text messages from Circle friends, I woke up to find out that I had actually won the Cricut Circle Blog Weekly Challenge for my Birthday Joy Layout and Sketch .  To say I was excited is an under statement :) 

If truth be told, I was doing a "happy dance" all over my living room !

Thanks for all the well wishes I have received from everyone...and thanks to Provo Craft and Jana Eubanks of the Circle Blog too !  I chose to receive the $25 credit so I can get one of the new seasonal cartridges...now I just have to decide between Luau OR Father's Day.  Which would you pick?

Hope you had a wonderful weekend!  Make sure and create something that makes you happy this week.

WOW...I'm the Guest Reporter on Craft Critique today !

I am so honored to be the Guest Reporter on Craft Critique today!  I submitted a report on Martha Stewarts Scoring Board a while back and was excited to learn it was selected to be posted today.

For those of you unfamiliar with Craft Critique it is a crafters blog with craft product reports made by real crafters. It has their opinions of the products along with pictures of them actually using the product. It is a great place to check out a product if you are thinking of purchasing something crafty.

Happy Crafting everyone !

I am on the PRIMA BLOG !

OMG! I am so excited. I submitted a project for Prima's Frugal Scrapper Contest. Alas, I did not win the big prize but they are featuring my project layout "Prima Donnas" on their March 20th blog post. I am so excited to see my work on their blog. I truly LOVE Prima products, as many of my scrap projects and my scrap room stash surely proves since it is almost everywhere you look....from gorgeous flowers, beautiful trims, lots of bling and lovely papers !

You can check out the contest winner and other participants here http://prima.typepad.com/.

The contest was to use Prima product packaging on your project. I ended up being able to actually use FIVE different products on my layout....can you spot them all ?

The first person to spot all 5 products used will win a little PRIMA goodies bag from me.
