Let's see if I can get you all caught up aka me all caught up! LOL!
I spent 9 days at my mom's while the kids were on spring break...that meant lots of scanning, cards, food and family! LOVED IT!
Before I left, I stopped and grabbed the mail and took my netflix movies with me. One of them was Twilight...this was a bad thing! I still have not returned it to Netflix 2 weeks later! I am hooked! I have watched this movie at least 15 times already and I read the first book in 3 days...well, really, 3 nights and early mornings. LOL! I passed up stopping to buy the second book on my way home because I thought I could just get it at the library (budget conscious there). Well, I was wrong. When I asked the librarian if I could reserve it and she giggled, I knew I was in trouble! LOL! So I did a search online for an inter-library loan and the closest one available was very far away. I reserved it anyway. Then my sister picked up the second book for me when she was out of town last week. Now if only it would come in the mail, I could refuse to get out of bed again until it's finished! But alas, I sit and wait for it to arrive and torture myself by watching the movie over and over again. It's so hard to watch Edward...so hard.
While I'm sitting in front of the tv with my feet up, I'm attempting to finish sorting my digi kits and even getting a few pages finished here and there. Here are a few of them...
Does that not make you hungry and ready for the sunshine?!
If not the food...does this? These two pages were made with Teri's new kit Are We There Yet? It's so fun! LOVE IT! Check out her blog for a coupon...you know you want it!
I also finished out the March Challenges at Pretty Scrappy which included making a birthday card, a page using certain colors, and a quote challenge. I love doing challenges. It really makes me think of new ways to use my kits and definitely makes me get more use out of them!
I used the PS Collab It's My Party for all 3 of these projects. Don't you just love my parents? They are awesome!
I tried some new photo editing techniques while working with Stacey's kit The Sugar Shack. I think I like it. It's completely different from any look I've done in the past but it's kind of fun and funky. So I'm keeping it in my notes so I can do it again.
I also got to work with a new-to-me designer this week. I really like the bright funkiness of her kits so I tried one on for size and I'm happy with the results! I even won Pick Of The Day at Divine Digital with one of them! YEAH ME (YILM)!
This kit is called For Henry and the new-to-me designer is Wetfish Designs.
Can you believe that goose egg? Makes me cringe!
Scrappin Freestyle released a new MegaKit the other day so I made a couple of layout with it as well. It's called Just Peachy and just those words brought back a lot of memories. I remember when my bedroom was peach...I had the coolest peach bedspread and Ranger Tails wallpaper. I had a frilly pillow sham and the world was hunky dorey!
I also remember when I got my beloved Peaches N' Cream Barbie. It was the Christmas my brother and I snuck upstairs while my parents were sleeping and checked out our stash from Santa. I had to go to the bathroom and as soon as he was out of my protective eyesight, he had to fire up his remote control monster truck. Well, it didn't take long for my dad to flip on the bathroom light and send us promptly to bed with a very stern warning. We snuck back up again and slept on the stairs until he officially let us out for Christmas morning. LOL!
But I didn't have pictures of those memories so I used this kit for some new memories.
If you ask me, those two girls are much cuter than any Barbie!
And finally, I'm getting to the freebie...are you still with me? Or did you skip to the end already and I'm typing for nothing? LOL!

Now if that face isn't funky I don't know what is?! She positively scared me with this make up job! Guess she had a lot to learn at that point! LOL!
