I'm here and doing better :)

If you don't follow me on Twitter or FB- I figured I'd let you know that A) You really should be LOL and B) I am home, all is well as far as we know and I'm getting slowly back into the swing of things.

I was right, I did miss you all. :) I had originally planned to be out of touch until at least Monday, yet here Sunday is and I'm already posting (though I was around on a limited basis yesterday evening)

While I was on forced invalid status, I did a little thinking, a little sketching (some very fun kit ideas to share with you all!), and a LOT of sleeping. Lucky for me my in-laws enjoy spending large amounts of time with Kat, so she was well and truly occupied during this little episode of As the Lewis Family Turns lol.

So the thinking led me to a little resolution (let's see if I keep it) Between every kit, I want to try to scrap at least a page before moving on to the next kit. Now that I don't really do CT work any more, my scrapping is way behind. I love designing so much that I don't stop- ever (seriously, it's a little crazy) So- between every kit, a page. I can do that, right?

Well I just finished a lovely collab, so here is my scrap page :) I found some pictures of Kat from last spring that I had never scrapped and they went so well with a kit I had been jonesing for, that I decided to treat myself and kick off my little scrapping plan with some sweetness :)

(click for credits)

So now I get to get back to design work- I have some really lovely things planned for both my PDP store, and my guest spot next month. Where will I be guesting? Hmmm, that's a blog for another day- bwahahahaha!

Out of touch for a few days....

I know I don't post much personal stuff on this blog- mostly because when it comes to anything other than sharing cute pictures of my daughter and perhaps some journaling on my scrapbook pages, I'm a pretty private person. It's just in the way I was brought up :)

Right now I'm dealing with some (fairly minor) health issues, but they've got me all out of sorts and feeling blah. I found out today that I have to go in tomorrow to have some outpatient surgery, and that I'm going to be groggy and in a little pain over the next few days- so I won't be online until I'm feeling a bit better. Chatting with my friends and fans is what keeps me from feeling too homesick or disconnected- and I'm finding that I'll definitely miss you all :)

Mostly right now though- I'm feeling a little scared about tomorrow, I know it's going to be minor- and I also know I'll feel loads better and back to my goofy self soon because of it... but I can't chill out to get any sleep right now because I can't stop thinking and worrying. So if you have time tomorrow, or find you're missing your daily does of chaos and mayhem, say a little prayer for me to be calm and for everything to go as planned- or just think of The Geek and smile, that would also be good.

I'll be back soon with my mojo in full force. In the meantime I've bought a couple pretty templates and kits to keep me occupied if I feel up to scrapping- I have a pile of books, my sketchbooks and pens, and a stack of chick flicks to keep me occupied while I spend some downtime recovering. I shall be quite lonely without you all to keep me smiling...

Grab Bags, Cupcakes, and Babies- oh my!

I'm pretty excited to bring you my new releases today- first up is my very first Grab Bag- you get a WHOLE bunch of Geeky goodness for a good bit less than you would pay for it otherwise, and since I'm such a grab bag addict- I just had to hook you all up! (Pssst- you can check the detailed previews to see what's in the bag...)

And here are a few LO's for inspiration from my Grab Bag:




Next up, we have my new Mega Baby Book kit- Baby Lily. There's a bit of a special story behind this one. My best friend (you know the kind, the one you could never do enough for to thank them for being so amazing?) is having a baby this May, bet you can't guess the baby's name... Lily They're doing her room all in cupcakes, so I made my best friend a kit she could use to customize an entire baby book (charts included) for Baby Lily. I went one better, and then contacted one of the best scrappers I know- Laura Wilson (emmasmommy0728) and we paired up to do some Quickpages, some Premade Baby Book Pages, and some Templates from the kit. I bundled all this up with a copy of PSE and gave it to my friend for her Baby Shower.

I figured then that it might be a good idea to let everyone enjoy what we had worked so hard on So here you have Baby Lily. You can get the full kit, or some of the pieces a la cart. OR you can buy the Soopa Bundle and get the kit, plus all the extra QP's, Premade Baby Book Pages, and Templates and get an amazing deal! It's totally up to you (I hear it's a pretty good present for an expecting mommy LOL)
