I'm Here! I'm Here!

Yes, my friends, I am here! LOL!I have not fallen into the vast unknown of cyber space. I am not a victim of a coronary from my bad luck of late. None of the above. I am actually doing much better. That is if you don't count my run-in with the flu the past few days. LOL! I have been out of work most of the week trying to recuperate and I can say I am finally feeling better. And my nasty little neck issue...that is getting better also. You see, the flu was actually a blessing in disguise. Because I spent 3 days in bed, my neck has had that much more time to heal. Hey, you gotta find the silver lining wherever you can! Right?

Tonight's post is going to have to be a quickie but I had to stop in and wish you all a happy weekend. So do tell...what does the weekend hold for you? Mine will be a scrappy weekend. My friend Pam is coming over bright and early Saturday morning and we will scrap all day...can't wait!

Speaking of scrapping, I have a few things to share. I know I've mentioned how much I love the kits at Serendipity Scrapbooks. Even before I made the DT, I purchased several of their kits! They are fun and filled with yummy goodies. Here are 2 layouts I made from the August Just Enough Please kit.



I have to admit, I stole the idea for the baking cup flowers from Meg. I saw this on her blog a while back and made a mental note to give it a try. I think they are so fun and add a bit of the unexpected to the page.



The next layout is one of my favorites. Do you ever make a page and you KNOW it is a favorite but you can't put your finger on the reason why? I'm not sure what it is, but I really like this one. I think it is the bright colors...hmmmm, I think?!?!? LOL! I did lots of fussy cutting on this one.





Before I go, I have to mention a wonderful bit of happy mail that graced my mailbox a few days ago. I think all of you know Julie, my wonderful "boss" at These Are a Few of My Favorite Things. Well, Julie being the kind and giving person that she is, sent each of the DT members a little present. She made sure to personalize the gifts in that she tailored her choice to each of our styles. And look at what I got:



Adorable journaling cards!!!! Aren't they awesome...and soooo me! Don't you think? Thank you so, so much Julie! I can't wait to use them.

I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend. Do something fun and create a few laugh lines while you are at it! xoxo L

    I laugh when I saw the title: I'm here! I'm so happy you are back, I wish I could read you everyday, cause you put a smile on my face. If I could, I would call you and have a conversaton over the phone, but my phone bill would be sky rocket, LOL! I've had a wonderful time at the event last sunday. Beautiful day. Alot of people. I didn't sell much but at least the kids had fun creating little cards and stamping. A few adults took my flyer. I've distributing my flyers for the past 3 days. Alot of walking and up and down the stairs. I can feel the muscle where I didn't think I had! Now my tutorials are written, I just need the clients to call a reserve the space for my class next october. I've also gave a new look to my scrapbooking blog. You can have a look here www.scrapbookingworkshop.blogspot.com
    Have a wonderful week end Lisa! Make sure to come back here! :-)
