I’ve got a funky Irish name with a Gaelic spelling . . . just in case you didn’t notice.  My mom is actually 100% Irish-American, while my dad is quite the mutt mix.  Oh, and I’m as pale as they come with a tinge of red to my hair if …

Every few months, the designers at The Digichick design Grab Bags.  And, every single time, someone starts a thread in the designer forum where some newbie asks, “How much should I put in this thing?” and “How much should I price it at?”
I just gotta say that these “designer” types from The Digichick are putting WAY too much stuff in their Grab Bags, and they are pricing it WAY too low.  Seriously.  If you have ever purchased a Grab Bag from one of The Digichick designers, you know what I …

There are times that I feel like a total mama failure (I remember the potty training days), and there are times that I feel like I’ve done something RIGHT! I’m just going to have to brag a little bit, so bear with me.
Grant (age 6) is really into learning.  He loves math and science.  Math is sort of a newer passion, but he’s been a science guy since he was about 2.
I think it all started with Finding Nemo.  He LOVED Bruce, the Great White Shark.  (“Name’s Bruce!”)  We actually …

Every once in a while I get inspired to scrap. It happens when everything falls into place just right:

I have photos all ready to be scrapped (chosen, cropped or whatever).
I have my own new releases in the store so I don’t have to stress about that.
My house is decent looking, and I know that if my husband catches me on the computer in the middle of the day he won’t care (because the floor isn’t crunchy).
My favorite digital designers have released kits that are SCREAMING at me.  They just BEG …

When CT Member Laura showed me her project for today, I “eeek”ed!  Does that ever happen to you?  I was a little loud with my “eeek!”, but this project totally deserves the loud “eeek!”

Thank you SO much Laura!!  You are amazing!!
Isn’t it gorgeous?  Laura used some digital papers from Danielle’s Grab Bag (again!  LOL!) and my Star Spangled Template Set.  I love that she ran the glitter along the edges of the star.  SO elegant!!  When Laura decided to do this project, she really wanted to show the stars all …

Here are my most recent pages, using some new releases at The Digichick.

Restful Papers and Trinkets and The Whites (which are so cool!) by Roben-Marie Designs

(Grant took this picture of us!  Can you tell?)
This one uses Heart of Thankfulness by Sugarplum Paperie (yummy!).

I thought I’d post this layout before we head on into November!  We had a blast tonight at the Trunk-n-Treats event at our church.  Mitch set up a duck shooting gallery in the back of his truck with some of our stuffed ducks (as in TOY stuffed ducks that quack) and the rubber-band gun that I bought one fateful day at a garage sale.  It was SUCH a huge hit.  It’s a good thing they put us in the corner, because there was always a long line at our booth!
The …

My month-long guest spot at Shabby Pickle Designs is almost over, so I brought my Jewelry Box Template Set back home to The Digichick today!  YAY!  You can pick it up for 20% off through Friday night.  Don’t forget to check out this tutorial for putting it together!!

I also created a new little sample for your viewing pleasure.  I just LOVE printing out gorgeous digital paper and using it in my papercrafting projects.  And, since I have this “thing” about grabbing up all of the new Sugarplum Paperie products I …
