Back to Work...

I've been looking for something part-time since Morgan started grade one in September, but was pretty picky about what I wanted to do. I want to be able to drop off and pick up the kids from school, and be home on the weekends, and that can be hard to find. But I did, and I start next week... not sure how many shifts I'll get, but even two or three is good for now. Morgan doesn't really eat when she stays at school for lunch, so that's a concern, but I'm hoping it will be okay if she can come home a couple days too.

In other news, I'm trying to sell some of my journaling tags at the LSS! I designed these to work with a few of the Christmas lines that are new this year (BG Figgy Pudding, Making Memories, AL's It's a Rhonna Christmas) so I'm hoping they'll sell and then I'll try a couple other designs/colours. We're going to try selling them for $1.99... so we'll see how it goes. I'd love to know what you think of them...

November DT stuff...

I've been busy scrapping away with my two design team kits... once again Marcy, Carmen and Krystn outdid themselves putting these kits together...

BYOM's November kit was full of American Crafts goodies... papers, thickers, metal photo corners, vinyl and chipboard accents plus some Queen & Co felt trim and other yummy stuff. Here's what I did with it:

I loved the mix in the November MSS kit, Office Party. Making Memories papers, letters, brads, die cuts and ribbons mixed with some American Crafts and Urban Lily papers, Scenic Route label stickers, a Hambly Overlay, and an Autumn Leaves stamp... much more in the kit, check out the link for a full list. Jamie Waters was a guest designer this month, and all the MSS girls lifted one of her layouts. Mine is "Calm Before the Storm" which is a lift of Jamie's "Starbucks" layout.

Here's what I did:
