Happy Easter Weekend!

Lot's of fun happening... You Can Check it out here!


What a week! So glad it's the weekend. Can't wait to have all the kids home for a visit tomorrow. It's hard when they grow up and move out..Much harder than I ever imagined it would be. Then again, no more dirty clothes, dirty dishes, fighting, loud crazy music -- who am I kidding, between Hannah and Kristin, none of that has changed... I'd take it all again with the boys just to have them home. Alright, enough sap already from me this morning.

Finally put my newest kit in the store.. yaaay!



And there's the Meet My... Princess Challenge with this posting bonus!

Disregard..

It's a Home Grown Call

GDS has exciting news! We've always gone "out into the digi-world" to do our Designer calls. Not today! It's so exciting to send out such an "intimate" call. And now I'm kicking myself for not having thought of it sooner... We have the most fantastic community, why in the world would we not call from within. Boy, I can be so dumb sometimes...Anyways, already have a few interested prospects and it's so exciting!

Hope everyone has a wonderful Friday!

It's a home Grown Call

It's Magical!

Sitting at dinner last night, just Hannah and I and she says to me, "So hard to chew with your lips closed." Then she paused, tried doing a little more polite chewing and slowly turns and smiles at me and finishes with, "we don't really have to right now, no one's here but you and me!".... What a riot...and what fun she is going to be as a teenager!

I always wanted to be able to do one of those magical layouts. I just never was any good at - just couldn't get the perspective right. Then yesterday I was playing around making some "springy like" kinda papers and the next I knew I was making wings... and then the magic happened! I think I love Saturdays!

It's a Weekend Thing!

Here's What Other's Have Already Had To Say:
[I]
"I participated in the Beginner's Class in October. I have been using PSP for several years but felt that I knew very little. I wanted a firm foundation and basic knowledge of the program to use it to its full potential. Daphne's explanation and videos are awesome. Being able to read the lessons and also see the application make it so much easier to learn. I learned shortcuts and felt the material really explained areas I had previously not fully understood. I especially learned from the Template lesson and working with text. I also now can use tools that I had previously shied away from. Being able to ask questions through the Forum is also very helpful. I highly recommend this course and cannot say enough about Daphne's professional ability and readiness to help her students."

"I took this course in November, having completed the Beginner's class. This course really builds on basic concepts. I especially have enjoyed the lessons on brushes and also photo techniques such as extractions that have intrigued me in the past, but I had no idea how to do. Daphne has developed the video lessons so that you can now download them to your computer and keep for future use as well as the written pdf lessons. This is invaluable, as I continually am going back to check a point. Daphne's practical approach to PSP make these lessons a valuable tool. She is also very knowledgeable in various versions of PSP and willing to help you wherever you are. I highly recommend this class and I look forward to taking the Advance class after the holidays."[/I]

Carnival Nights....

I was so happy to get this layout completed. You know those layouts you feel pressure to complete like graduations, weddings, dance recitals. Don't get me wrong, I love doing them, I just hate the pressure I feel to get them done.

The reason it's completed though is purely one of those magical digi moments. So, wanna hear the story..lol..shaking your head, "uh no, not really" - ok, I'll tell it fast. Jessica has this challenge called "The Lunch Crunch" every other Thursday at 1:00 pm at GDS... So I decide to check it out *haven't had a moment to scrap a page in months, btw*. I go into the chat about 5 minutes late and there Jessica is saying "Use something red somewhere on your layout... you have 45 minutes to post in the gallery and link back here... Go!"

Whallaaaa... there it is in all it's 45 minutes completion Glory! Talk about a happy camper!!
