better than two hundred and forty dollars...worth of pudding

Good news again for this scrappy girl. (I must have been spreading good karma this past month.) I won first place at alphaddict.com "Feel Like a Number" contest. Free Goodies!

I was also selected to be the October Guest Designer at KitPeas.com. They feature a different kit club each month and send the kit to you to guest design. Yipee! Who doesn't love a great kit?

Big plans this weekend. My mom and dad's 40th Anniversary. We are taking them to a very unexpected place to celebrate.( Sorry can't tell ya, my mom reads this blog!)

a very happy day

it pays to be optimistic. I came home from work Satuday to find 2 very happy emails.

First I was selected by Elle's Studio to be a Guest Designer for her new Calendar Kit. Check out her Etsy shop. (SO cool!) The kits will be available presale this Wednesday. I can't wait to get my hands on the kit!

About an hour later I received a email from Kathy Marie Perez letting me know I was selected to be on the Paper Jam Studio Crew. She has the cutest kits and addons! I am so pumped to be a part of this!

What a weekend! I am happy happy happy.

Loser?

This week I got the boot off "So You Think You Can Scrap". I tied for 3rd/4th place. I was kinda bummed until I remembered Chris Daughtry. He got booted off Idol and everyone was quite shocked about it. Things seemed to have worked out just fine for him. Taylor who? :)

It's been a busy week of work and getting ready to go back to school. Our store is getting ready to kick-off Christmas and begin teaching Holiday Card classes next week. Lots of prep. I'm not even ready to start thinking about Christmas.

Good news...I made it to the Top Four Finalists at SoYouThinkYouCanScrapContest at Scrapper's Bliss. Yeah! Week 7 Voting begins on Saturday. Head on over if you have a sec. You'll see my loud page.

Here's a little fun I made this week:

SEEK

Finally got to scrap for me again this week. This is a page I made for the One Little Word Challenge Blog. After attending my HS reunion last week, it really got me thinking about how much my life has changed for the better in the last 12 years. Sometimes all it takes is a strong decision to SEEK happiness instead of dwelling on the negatives.
