Even the best laid plans run into snags from time to time. Sometimes, they run into BIG snags, but I am glad to be back on the blog and just hope I can stay here this time!

It is proving to be a HOT summer and when it rains, it is usually an electrical storm. It is hurricane season here on the Mississippi Gulf Coast, so we always have an eye on the tropics. Thank goodness we haven’t had a blow through yet this season but it’s not over until the end of November!

So to catch up a bit, anyone who still frequents this blog knows that I am a Digital Layout Artist and I create a lot of scrapbook pages. I post most all of my layouts in the galleries at Gingerscraps, Scrapgirls, and in my personal album on Facebook. I recently was added to the site creative team at Gingerscraps (this is big for me!). I also create layouts for Miss Fish Templates, and Aimee Harrison. I believe I am safe to say that I stay pretty busy in the digital layout department! So, this is what I post here on the blog, digital scrapbook layouts. From time to time, you will see a post that has nothing to do with scrapbooking, but not often.

With my postings, I can only hope to be an inspiration to someone, give a bit of hope to someone, or brighten someone’s day. Enjoy!

February 1 thru February 4

Miss Fish has these fantastic new releases just for you!

And last but not least, this pretty layout that features Miss Fish Templates AND Aimee Harrison’s new release, “With Love”.

Miss Fish is having a Creative Team Call! If you are a digital scrapbooker and think that you would like to be on a Designers Team, then this call is for you! Even if you are new to scrapbooking and have never been on a team, I encourage you to apply for a spot on the team. I love creating with Miss Fish Templates and I love being on her team.

Beautiful people, where did January go so quickly? It seems like only yesterday we were celebrating the New Year and now it is virtually the end of the month! I don’t usually make resolutions but I did promise myself that I would try to keep up on this blog a bit better. It looks like I failed on that promise – hopefully, just for January!

So, January has been cold and it has rained quite a bit while the rest of the country has been snowed under and flooded out. Yes, we have hurricanes but I am really glad that I live in the South.

Top news today as we gear down and head into the heart month of February… Miss Fish has a birthday coming up and she is having a sale that is going on right now at both of her stores. Check it! GS – https://bit.ly/ShopMissFishGS SG – https://bit.ly/MFish_ScrapGirls

Also, I am now on Aimee Harrison’s Creative Team! There is no better combination than a Miss Fish Template and an Aimee Harrison Kit! Perfectly Paired! Here are some of the layouts that I have completed. Everything that I have used in the creation of these layouts can be purchased at either Scrapgirls or Gingerscraps.

That’s it for now! Thank you for looking!

Just popping in to share this week’s sales. Miss Fish has some new products in the Gingerscraps store today and a whole bunch of templates on sale. Stop by the store at Gingerscraps or Scrapgirls and get in on the bargains.

I know I haven’t posted in about a month. It has been busy at the old homestead with preparations for Christmas. The tree is looking good but I cannot seem to keep Casper out from underneath. I have already had to fix some of the name tags! My advice to anyone that has a young cat is (this is Caspers’ 5th Christmas!) to not use tags that dangle. Use the ones with the sticky on the back!!

Here are a few things that I have been up too!

Alana and Mark make the best Christmas photos every year. I can’t imagine how they get these wonderful fur babies to sit still long enough. Amazing!

In my last post, I posted a photo of a bowl of fruit soaking in whiskey. Today, I baked a fruitcake with that same bowl of fruit. It turned out really well! The cake is moist and yummy. I decided not to age the cakes because I wanted to be able to enjoy them now. I did brush the outside of them with Grape Juice and Jack Daniels and they are resting in the fridge for now.
