Welcome to my new blog!! I have been a very bad blogger and wanted to start over with a fresh, new look.   I still feel a little strange writing about my life online but I guess the more I post, the easier it will get. 

We have a really busy weekend coming up! Tonight was my son's school carnival, and he had a blast!  He played several games, jumped in the the big bouncer, and ran around with his friends.  Wow, 3 year olds really have a lot of energy together!   Tomorrow, one of my co-workers is hosting a party at his house which is located near the Mississippi River.  I think he has a house boat too.   On Sunday, we are planning to have a BBQ with my in-laws.  The weather is going to be gorgeous this weekend, so we're trying to make the most of it.  In a couple of weeks, it's going to get hot and muggy, and then I will be spending a lot of time indoors.  My DH keeps pushing for a pool (he does this every summer), but I'm holding off because of the cost.  We have an inflatable pool (10 foot diameter and about 3 feet high) which worked really well last summer. It's big enough for my son to play in and for the adults to cool down.

I'm excited to start working on a couple of new kits.  I wish I had more time to design during the week, but I usually don't get on the computer until after 9 PM at night.  I just uploaded a new kit at Oscraps this week for the Friends and Family section.  The kit is Treasured Moments and all proceeds from this kit will go towards helping Carla Gibson's family.  As most of you know, Carla Gibson, an amazingly talented and generous woman recently passed away after suffering a brain aneurysm.  Oscraps created a special category in the store where we are thrilled to share the talents of so many incredibly generous designers and stores who have donated their items to help raise money for Carla's family. Sadly, even though Carla is gone, the medical bills are not and her family still needs our support.  Thanks!
