The Countdown has begun

We'll I've been absolutely buried with projects this week. I've been working on the sb album that this fella (JOE) has hired me to do for his wife as a secret. Additionally, I've been sewing a pair of camo pants for youngest son. Hubby is taking him camping overnight and they're going squirrel hunting. The pants were finished last night .... sooooo many pockets....... so many broken needles! Sooooo glad that mess is done, but now I have to make the shirt. Oh well atleast I have a little more time to get that done. They're heading out tonight to get an early start in the morning and by golly I'm gonna stay home and scrap my butt off! I've been so missing the papercuts. LOL! So hopefully, I can get some new creations up.

Oh and I've tried my hand at digi. That's a first for me! The first one I did I used a template ... kinda just rearrange the elements and drop the pictures in, but my second one was an absolute freehand creation.

THIS IS MY FIRST ONE.....

THIS IS MY SECOND ONE.....

So that's my update for what it's worth!

Hope everyone has a wickedly wonderful weekend!

Whew! I'm Glad That's Over!

What a week it has been so far! So much has happened!

Some of you already know that I organize a group that raises funds and aids in budget needs for my local library. We just wrapped up our annual silent auction ... and it was great! I think it went well, but all I can say is WHEW I'm glad it's over! A lot of work goes into fundraising. I was pleased that several of my cards and notecards that I put in the auction sold and did quite well. YEAH!

Moving right along, today was also the close of a Design Team call we had running at ScrapbookSuppliesDirect.com. There were ooooooooddles of awesome creations submitted, but I had the unfortunate task of picking JUST ONE! I mean, come on... ONE?!?! There seriously was some great stuff.

Well, I just wanted to take a moment to tell CHRISTINE (aka: ScrappyGal) Congrats for getting the first DT spot. Hope over to SSD or check out her blog and wish her well.

Oh and toot toot, of sorts! I've got my first official album to do for someone. This fella wants me to do a complete album to chronicle the relationship w/his now wife. It's a secret though! He plans on having it to display when they renew their vows. He wants to make it a centerpiece so she can look at it and say 'what's this.' He ultimately wants to make her cry! I guess in this instance I'll enable him. LOL! But I'm so stoked about getting this chance.
