Geez, I haven't updated the ol' bloggity in a while! Sorry 'bout that!

Here are a couple of layouts I've done for my Creative Teams recently....

Supplies: "Justin" and "Baby Sam" - all supplies from Catscrap.com, "My Boys" - all from the Licorice Boy kit by Shannon Lee Designs.

Disheartened

I am completely shocked right now....it appears that someone w/in the digi community dupped everyone into thinking her son was very sick w/ Cancer. Fundraisers were put together to raise money for her family....people said prayers...people sent her well wishes and beyond..... Now to find out that it was all false is so disturbing.

Not only did she rip us off financially, she has jaded a whole community. What about all of us who do charity kits to honestly raise funds?! Will people look at us as frauds as well? Will people stop supporting these projects?

Shame on you....thats all I can say. I truely hope this ends up being some big mistake and that I can pop back over and delete this post, because I'm just so appauled right now.

What steps can we take to make sure something like this doesnt happen again?
