YOU Design It Contest 2!!!

I had so much fun when I ran this contest the first time, I thought it would be fun to do again! Julie Billingsley won last time around...maybe she'll pop in to give her opinion on the contest!

Please let me know if you have ANY questions!!!

The more explicit you are the better...anything goes here...but as noted, this time around it's theme based...so it needs to fall into the Fall/Winter theme (holidays, snow fun, new years, etc.). oxox

You're Invited!

Fun, right?! So run over to Oscraps.com and snag one (or ALL) of the kits! Come on, it's for a GREAT cause & the kits range in price from $3-$10!

Special THANK YOU to the designers who offered prizes for the crop!
Miss Mint, Dianne Rigdon, Mirranda Reinhardt, Theresa Hernandez, DebF, Carrie Stephens, Kimberly Geswein, Diamante/Lori, Royanna Frischmann, Stacey Mann, Tina Williams, SaraAmarie, Victoria Feemster, Mari K, Eva Kipler, Jen Caputo, Sandra Boddington, and Me! (plus MORE not posted yet!!!!)

There will also be giveways from pieces created for the kit itself, so they'll go perfectly with your other purchases!

End of June Recap

Jessica sportin' her puppy "backpack" aka HARNESS!
My boys...on our ride on Thomas the Tank Engine...
Justin getting his trophy at Gymnastics...is he a ham or what?! (w/ teacher: Kerri)
Josh getting his trophy!
I still can't believe I missed trophy day....while they were getting awards, I was at my Mom's funeral. :( 

Happy Fourth (almost)!

I have a personal attachment to the 4th of July because of my own Army Hubby! Thankfully he's been out of all that jumpin' out of airplanes, marching through the jungles and desert business for a long time. But his stories and photos always stay in my head. He (and the others who risk their lives for our freedom) is absolutely my hero.......
Here's a little Freebie to celebrate:
