Well It’s Monday. What a great weekend! I love seeing my Dad. But now I am in the rush to prepare to leave on Wednesday for Vegas. I was able to check my email a bit this weekend, but I will be unplugged this coming weekend so I have until Tuesday night and then won’t be back til Monday a.m. If you need something quick email me or I will get to it as soon as I get back.

This past weekend we spent lots of time hanging out together as family. My bambino got his kitchen with a grill and he loves it. We had to go on Sunday and buy more plastic food for it. My son is a cooking crazy man. He also received a Fireman Costume. So in between he has the Fireman jacket on and the Chefs hat. So he is busy busy. It was nice because he got about 5 or 6 gifts and he can play with them now before Christmas. He can be overwhelmed at times with tons and tons of things. Overstimulization. So having a few at a time was good.

Well I can’t think… I have so much running through my head and a ton of emails to catch up on so I better run. I just wanted everyone to know I was still alive!

Have a wonderful day!
Enjoy!

A quick stop in… Die Cuts of my designs, Autumn Beauty by Rosalie
A real quick stop in…
Hello to all. My Dad is here and today is the day we have “Christmas Morning”. I am waiting for my brother and his wife to wake up so we can all get showered and head to my sisters. My Dad got my son a kids kitchen. My Son knows it is there because he went with Grandpa to pick it out, but he is anxious to get it out of the box. So this should be fun. Apparently, my little boy gets beat out for the kitchen every day at school. They have centers and there are only 5 kids to a center at a time. So he wanted his own. I figure he may be the next best chef of the world. So lets get it for him. Of course for the more manly testasterone approach it has a grill on one side and a kitchen on the flipside. 🙂 This will be a perfect accompaniement (sp?) to his fort in March when it is warm enough to be outside regularly again.
A few things…
Have you seen this layout

From Rosalie over at Paperthreads she is on the Creative Design Team there!! Woohoo!
I don’t have the large photo version to post here. If Rosalie is stopping by my blog maybe she can EMAIL it to me and I will post it here. I love the way the leaves and the paper and the Autumn Beauty Jumble are cut to out and the papers all match so well together. Thank you Rosalie for such a great project.
In other news… Have you heard of a Scrapbook Whimsy?? Well Wendy over at Scrapbook Whimsy has become the first retail spot for purchasing my files already diecut. So if you don’t have time to run your cutter or have hit upon my blog and don’t own a cutter, but want one of my diecuts Wendy is the first one with a Commercial License to retail the diecuts. Here is her beautiful store site! Thanks for participating Wendy and congrats on your storefront. I will be working on getting her link up on my main website as well. Thank you to those who have seen my diecuts for sale on her website already and were concerend and emailed me. I so appreciate the support and everyone watching out forme. She is selling the actual cut piece of my file and not the digital file. My digital files are not for sale anywhere other than Paperthreads. If you see my digital files posted anywhere else, always feel free to let me know. I appreciate my visitors always. If you are interested in the Commercial Policy it is HERE.
Okay so I have about 220 emails to respond to from the last few days. So if you sent me an email I will be getting back to them as soon as I can. I just wanted to stop in real quick and say Hi before I head to my sisters and spend more time with Dad and then next weekend is Vegas woohoo!! So I will try to catch up with them all before I go.
Have a wonderful weekend!!!
Enjoy!

Tippin Santa… and this weekend
Look at this cute Santa.. I saw this at the Gallery at Paperthreads by Karen and I love it. Super cute. So I asked Karen to send it over so I can post it here as well. Thank you Karen. My hubby saw all the silver and liked the extra touch of “snow”. Thank you again for sharing with me.
From now til Monday my Dad will be here. I will be super limited in my email and keeping up because I see him about 10 days out of every year and try to spend as much time with him as possible. And I split my time with my siblings and their kiddos also. So if you email and I don’t respond right away. I will get to you. The left side of my blog has all the links for Where you can find me? If you are asking about the QMC. I always ask for your order number and login name. So if you send those in your first email it saves one extra step.
And as for now. I am off to clean a bathroom and get us dressed to head to the airport. Woohoo!! I can’t wait.
Have a wonderful weekend!
Enjoy!

Heroes Among Us.. Visiting with Santa
So what a weekend. We got so much done, but there is still so much to do before my Dad visits. Sunday we had a board meeting for our association those are always so so so interesting. But then after that we went to the mall and saw Santa. My bumpkin was pretty excited because Santa had a huge S belt buckle. He decided to go in cowboy gear because that is what Dad was in and man what a smile we captured. Love it Love it!!
And I have one frame done for the five and I am working away on the others. I think I am going to offer this as a custom file in the store for those who might want their last name in it. I just thought I would share this one with you.
Well my Dad will be here Wednesday and I have a list as long as my arm to get it done. So I better run. Hope you had an awesome weekend!
Enjoy!

Personalized Gifts….. love em.
Well we are taking a break from the 
cleaning before putting up holiday decorations. Wew! So I thought I would post a few things. I have received my list of 5 for the frames. Thank you to those who sent them over. I will get to working on them. One or two will hit the QMC. I will email those who sent in title ideas to them specifically and the rest will go up in the store. Here are a few files that hit store in the last two days. They were fun to make, but I wasn’t to into the holiday files for some reason. Probably because so much is going on.
Everyone liked the Family frame so that is awesome. Wasn’t sure how it would go over since it isn’t a holiday file. So glad everyone liked it.
Also, many have requested some info… the mugs I am ordering are coming from the website below. The ladies name is Carrie and unfortunately we (being my siblings and I ) are under a time crunch and waited til the last minute and she emailed me quickly last night and said she would get them out right away. And I so appreciate customer help over the holiday season. So that is fantastic. I can’t wait to see them and I hope they come out well. Here is her Link. I have no financial interest in her site, just like to pass on customer oriented businesses to others who may need them. And it is called Marvelous Mugs. www.marvelousmugs.com I LOVEDDD that she had a design your own setting .Usually you have to give them one picture to put on the mug. So hopefully my collage of pictures will be a crowd pleaser… WHY DO I HOPE? Because I ended up ordering one for the hubby and others as well. Can’t wait Can’t wait. Okay I love to holiday shop. I love to give gifts that I have thought about and worked on. It makes me feel awesome. Personalized.
It is Saturday.. I am rambling.. and I need to go cut 23 stockings out of paper and 23 preschool kids names and the like. Put up a tree, make bread, finish laundry, go to a homeowners assoc meeting, go to church… and more.. Wew! So I better run!
Have a wonderful Saturday and Enjoy!
