Hey Spring!

Finally the snow has stopped.
YAY!
But Spring, where are you??  Usually by now I have broken out the capris and am rocking a fabulous flip flop tan!  LOL  Seriously , one of my most favorite parts of Spring is..... no socks in the laundry!! 

Is it warm where you are yet?


I have another child ready to graduate high school! Time certainly does fly by.  She has chosen her college and it's 6 hours away....
This momma will be a regular on the PA turnpike as she starts this new journey. She is super excited and ready to be a part of a big city!  She may be a country girl at heart, but the big city is calling her.  But first we have Prom, top 5% night, senior awards, and graduation to get through! 

Spring also means my oldest will be home soon!  She is finishing her sophomore year at college. 

We had a lovely night last weekend. All three of my girls joined me for a paint nite with some friends.  The conversations with teenage daughters are definitely interesting, sassy and lively!

I have also been trying to take care of myself more.  I have been walking, trying to drink more water and eat a little better. I also know I need some time for myself and things I love, like art and scrapbooking.  That lead me to guest CT for a designer for March.  I made some great pages with kits by the fabulous Connie Prince. Her kits are available at Ginger Scraps HERE.  Here are some of the pages I have made with her kits.





























I didn't do them all in March, but in the last 6 months or so. 

I also decided to clean up my art space and organize it a little bit more.  I wanted my acrylic paints more accessible so I can work a little easier. And lately my art space has become the dumping ground for anything that no one wanted to put away.  




Have you checked out my Etsy store?  I have lots of great kits and teaching items in my store.  I added a whole bunch in January and February!  If you have made a purchase (thank you!!), please be sure to leave a review! 

Well, I guess that's it for now...
Have a happy scrappy day!!!

It's Official!

The last year has been interesting, hard and so much more...
Early last year I closed my Scraps n Pieces store to focus on family, hobbies and my Teachers Pay Teachers store. 

 In my last post I talked briefly about my little one that passed away suddenly and my daughters health.  For now, her CRPS is in remission.  She does occasionally have days where it my flair. But she is actively participating in her schools Gym Night and doing great! My oldest daughter had some health issues at college as well.  She is doing okay now and learning to deal with stress and things out of her control.  

So, back to NOW.  I did announce that I was putting scrap kits and templates on Etsy.  After much research and trial and error, I am happy to announce that I officially have kits available now. Last weekend I uploaded a bunch to add to the template packs I had in there.  

Here are some of the kits currently available:













And more coming soon.
