So excited! I haven’t gotten to use my cute little “Out for Publication” sign in a while but I got a request from Paper Crafts late last night for one of my cards! WOOT! WOOT! Or should I say TooT? Toot? LOL It will be in the Aug/Sept issue. That seems like years away…doesn’t it? 
Thanks for all your sweet comments on my last post! I will be sure and do that drawing early next week so I can send out the placemat & Bo Bunny goodies to one lucky weiner!
What’s everyone up to this weekend? We are getting ready to head to the Dunes for the weekend to go 4 wheelin’. Well, I won’t be riding. Pretty much sitting around the whole weekend but that’s okay. My girls and Shane are excited. And I am using it as an excuse to go get some scrappy reading material. (insert evil laugh here) This will be the last weekend we have to make a family trip out there before we move to Mississippi the end of February. It’s getting close. Everything’s falling into place finally and it’s really happening! We’ve been talking about this forever and something always kept us here month after month this last year. But the time has finally come! I don’t want to get into it too much. I get emotional. Like that’s hard to do right now. My hormones are whacked! HA HA!
Anyway….off to start packing and do laundry and finish up some scrappy things. I am trying to get the stuff at least pre-cut to make 40-50 of these little baby thank you cards so I can glue them together this weekend while I’m sitting in Shane’s brother’s toy hauler. With my baby shower coming up next weekend….I wanted to make some handmade thank you’s for that plus the sweet friends that have already spoiled me with baby boy stuff! I know I am ruining the “Thank You” surprise with a looksie at the card but I PROMISE it’s a lot cuter in person. Wink! You can find the inspiration for my design on this card over at Sketch This: Cards. Love that blog!
Oh…..one more thing! I was playing around with my links up there in the upper left side of my blog this morning. I’ve had some people email me asking to see layouts, cards or projects that I’ve put in previous blog entries. So I thought it would be fun to just create a little gallery of those things here that you can peek at for inspiration if you want. Plus it’s fun for me to go back and look at some of my favorite scrappy things I’ve done! Just a little FYI for those who were asking!
HAVE A HAPPY & SAFE WEEKEND EVERYONE!

Dude… my secret word verification code was TUPAC. HAHAHA!
Anyway, I wanted to ask what the font you used on your thanks card was, or is that your handwriting? I love it!

Congrats on the call!! You totally rock! And I know how emotional the move can be, believe me. You have ever right to be feeling all sorts of emotional! Having made a few great big moves across the country, it is just scary. BUT I’m sure you’ll do awesome and Mississippi is gonna be so stoked when it gets you, that’s for sure!! Have a great weekend!

Congratulations on your toot! Your stuff is always wonderful! Good luck on the move. I’ve made a few big moves in the past and I know it’s lots of work and adjustment once you get there - but I’m sure this will be a good move for your family!
