Blog SLACKER

yep... that's me....
I have been neglecting the blog...
I was surprised when I saw the date of the last post,
this has been a crazy time for me & I actually
FORGOT to blog!
YIKES! ;)

Lots of changes have been happening with me:
I just ended 3 of my Design Team Positions
and it is a bitter sweet experience!
I really appreciate the opportunities-
and will miss those companies dearly!
BUT!
I am also really excited to move on and find
new companies and new design challenges.
Every scrapbook company out there offers different
experiences & learning opportunities
and I am really excited to pursue that!

Thanks so much to the following companies
for the great design team experience:

2 Scrappy Chix Designs

Itty Bitty Scrap Shack

Moments 2 Remember

And for the guest design opportunity at the
FABULOUS manufacturer:

Mollie & Mac

I just wanted to go ahead and post some pages
and projects from the last couple months that never
got posted:

"Pumpkin Patch"

My son, Simon when he was only 3!!
What a cutie pie!!
I am also using this page for the M2R Oct Challenge--
scrap your pictures that aren't so "great"!

"Fall Candle Project"

I decided to embellish a candle for fall.
My sister LOVES fall decorations-
so I bought her favorite scented pillar candle from Pier 1
(ginger peach- which also coordinates beautifully color wise!)
I decorated the candle for fall, with a removable sleeve.
This way she can remove the sleeve to burn the candle
and save the decoration for years to come.
The smaller votive is also ginger peach-
and I stuck the little crocheted flower on top because
it reminded me of an acorn!!

Thanks for looking!!
More kit reveals in the days to come ;)

Have an AWESOME weekend!!!
