OOOPS...I DID IT AGAIN

I haven't visited with you in forever! AGAIN! Will you forgive me? How do I always let life get in the way of chatting with you? There just aren't enough hours.....

The LP Crop was last weekend - FUN FUN FUN! I didn't get to participate as much as I like because my parents were here for Ava's birthday. I have lots of challenges to catch up on. I've received all of my July kits and as usual, they all rock. Here are some photos of the pages I've done using 2 of the LP July Kits:

My baby girl turned 2 last week. I can't believe how time flies.... I didn't do a big party this year - just a little celebration with my sister & parents at the house. Here are some photos of my little princess' celebration:

Finally, I've joined an ATC swap over on the LP board. I've never really though about making ATCs before but I think it's a natural progression...cards, gift tags, ATCs, right? I had so much fun making these that I'm considering making some ACEOs to sell in my shop :)

Well, I think that's all for now. I'll try not to leave you for too long this time. I hope to see you again soon! Have a wonderful week, friends :)

CHRISTMAS IN JULY

There's an etsy-wide sale going on starting tomorrow - YAY! I love sales :) Not all stores are participating but the ones that are will be offering their own discount. There's no standard discount across the board. So, I've decided to do FREE US SHIPPING/DISCOUNTED WORLDWIDE SHIPPING for both shops (some heavier items have discounted shipping within the US). The sale will run from July 8th (yes, I'm starting early for y'all) through July 22nd.

Do you follow me on twitter? Are you a fan of WhimsyPics on facebook? If not, sign up and get EXCLUSIVE discounts!!

THANK YOU to all my faithful follwer, friends, fans & family :)

OH MY WORD!

It's been more than 2 weeks since I last posted! I've thought about you alot though :) Every night as I'm drifting off to sleep I write a little blog post in my head. Problem is, in the morning when I wake up, I've no time. And it's not till I'm falling asleep again that I update in my mind. I'm sorry I've been so bad bad bad!

I know I've been very busy lately...I just can't seem to remember what I've been doing! My in-laws were here for a while and that was just so much fun. The kids love their Grandma & Papa so much. Papa, of course, is completely enamoured with Ava and she adores him. So sweet <3>So, here are the mini albums I've made since the last time I wrote - all of them can be found in my etsy shop, of course:

THIS IS ME Mini Album

QUIRKY Mini Album

BOY Mini Album

SUMMER FUN Mini Album

LIFE IS GOOD Mini Album

I forgot to tell you! The LPS Crop is gonna be JULY 17-19th!! You have got to be there. It's so much fun!! Sign up to the message board (you do NOT have to be a kit subscriber) and you'll have access to ALL the DT challenges, make & takes, games and PRIZES! I hope to 'see' you there!

LIVE YOUR LIFE WITH GRACE

It's another HOT HOT HOT Saturday here in the South! The kids went out for a drive through in Ethan's Jeep this morning and we stopped at a neighbor's who was having a moving sale. Scored 2 end tables; nice though not perfect. But hey, whatdya want for $30! LOL Dh hates that I buy used stuff but I love it. He deals with it. Quietly. He's the best.


I finally got to my LP Project Kit yesterday. Such gorgeous papers!! I love the vintagey feel they have. So I made a mini album that you can find in my etsy shop. I thought the sentiment on the paper was so perfect, I used it on the cover. What do you think?

Have a happy weekend! :)

JUNE & GRADUATIONS

My baby boy graduated on Sunday. It was the cutest thing ever. *sigh* Where does the time go? Here are some photos of the last day of school and the graduation:

I'm so proud :D He's a little worried about starting kindergarten this fall but I have a couple of months to ease him in to the idea.

I got my LP Kits on Friday but I had such a mess on my desk that I've only just now gotten to open them up! I ripped into my first kit this morning - the June Featured kit. Gorgeous, as always. Here's what I've done so far:

I have 2 more kits for this month and a slew of past kits I've yet to open. I am determined to get through every single one. Somehow.

Have a happy week everybody!
