YEAH!!!

I've got a few things I'm excited for this week:

1) I didn't win the grand prize, but I did get First Place in the Gauntlet contest over at Scrapperie.com. Whoo hoo! I'm just in total shock that I actually got that - really there was SERIOUS talent in that contest! Here's the final week layout that I did for the contest.



2) This week is a short week! I'm working Monday through Thursday. Then next week is even a shorter week since I'm taking off Monday & Tuesday.

3) We had a great time at the Mt. Vernon fireworks show on Friday. I loved this picture the most! It's Kalli's friend, Lexi, & Kalli all laying there watching the fireworks. :)



4) I totally scored yesterday at JCPenney. We'd just been discussing having to go school shopping for the kids next month & low & behold - JCPenney has an awesome sale in the girls section! Tons of clothes marked down to $2.97 each. Needless to say...Kalli made out like a bandit. I just wish I would have found some things for Dylan too.




4) The Springfield Cardinals won last night!!! Whoooo baby! Was really not thinking anything was going to happen since we went all the way to the bottom of the 10th with no scores & then finally got a run in!




5) And last but certainly not least.....DYLAN ACTUALLY CLEANED HIS ROOM! Can you believe it? I seriously can't. That boy would live in a landfill and not even care. Every day is really a struggle with him to pick up even one thing & here tonight he cleans it. And the worst part - it's too late and he's in bed or I'd go get some proof! :)

And now, since I'm all out of hoorahs, I'm heading to bed!

Clear Dollar Stamp Sneak Peeks!

As it's nearing the beginning of July, I get the honor of showing a few sneak peeks of new stamp sets from Clear Dollar Stamps. I've always been a swirly lovin' kind of girl so this stamp was perfect to work with!

It's been a long time since my last post..

And I even have some news!

I'm now a Design Team member at Clear Dollar Stamps! Woo hoo! I'm really excited to be able to create with such cute stamps and take my scrapbooking to a new level!



And in other scrappy news, I've moved on to Round 6 @ The Gauntlet. Really was not expecting to but hopefully I can stay in the game after this week. There are some really talented ladies there & I feel honored to even be considered a part of that group!

And just because I have been in a scrappy mood, I've gotten a few layouts/projects done.





I'm not thrilled with the farm ones & the I've Got You Babe but hey I'm doing good using up some of my old supplies!
