Im so behind

I have been working my hiney off trying to get caught up...I have been a designing, scrapping, ct applying fool lately. I am so sad the month of April is almost up...My guest spot with Digi Diva Designs is almost over. She is a dream to work with and I would love a permanent spot on her team! Anyways I just created this layout with her Simply Adored kit.I come from a family of sisters. The first two are my grandmother who is 70 and her 79 yr old sister Martha, then its my cousin, my mom and my two aunts, the next picture is my oldest two daughters,
The third row is my other four daughters in pics with their sisters.

edge journaling are these quotes about sisters

A sister is a gift to the heart, a friend to the spirit, a golden thread to the meaning of life. Isadora James
An older sister is a friend and defender - a listener, conspirator, a counsellor and a sharer of delights. And sorrows too. ~Pam Brown
Our roots say we're sisters, our hearts say we're friends. ~Author Unknown
A sister shares childhood memories and grown-up dreams. ~Author Unknown
Sisters are blossoms in the garden of life. ~Author Unknown

I was picked to be on Eirene's CT. I am so excited. I love her designs and hope to be debuting some new layouts soon. I got a personalized blinkie and everything!!! Woohoo go me!

A good friend of mine who has oft been known to speak bluntly even when it hurts, Afridigidiva, has come under fire for her opinions. Agree or disagree, one thing I can say about her is that she is not afraid to attach her name to her opinions. If you feel that a person has right to have music on their blog, I do not see how you can feel she does not have the right to say she doesn't like blogs with music on them on her OWN blog. Come on now folks...thats a wee bit hypocritical. I am all for folks expressing themselves they way they want to on their blogs. But don't be mad if I do not choose to visit your blog if it plays music. I will pm you my comment and keep it moving. (FWIW one of the blogs in question I LOVE his playlist)...anywhoo...I just wanted to shout out my girl ADD and tell her to brush that dirt off her shoulders.


ok Sharia and ADD yall killing me with the hotties...gotta post my own boo...I fell in love with Christian Keyes watching the play, Madea Goes to Jail. And this pictures here show off his gorgeous smile, sexy eyes,.......his droolworthy physique...





all I can say is WOWZER....

New Kit, Freebie AND Weekly RAK

New goodies in my DID store....its called Dots A Plenty...why??? Because its full of different size polka dots...in scrumptious candy colors of teal, pink, aqua and black...here is preview...

also I am giving it away FREE to a random commenter on my blog. Just tell me why you like it and post a link back when ya use it (that parts not required but I would love to leave you some love in your gallery.)

I am ruminating (love those word of the day emails) on having a CT call...I would just really like some nice scrappers who like my work to show what it can do. I do not want to get into the world of having folks pimpin for me....(hmmm would that make me a digiscrap madam if they did..).
anyways...I am still thinking about it....

Over at DID we are having a new giveaway every week...and its BRAND NEW stuff!!

Post the New Product that you would most like to have and why you like that particular product.

The designers will pick 3 random numbers and those posters will win the product they chose.
