Happy May!!

I hope you all are having a wonderful spring! We are settled, for the most part, in our new home. There are still some packed boxes and stacks of things with no home yet. I am hoping to get to those things after this graduation weekend. I have a nephew who is graduating from high school, and I am thrilled to be living here, so close to family…we can celebrate without having to drive for two days. :)

I was also completing a deadline for Fall/Winter 2013 for Whipper Snapper Designs, in the middle of the move. So it’s nice to have things beginning to slow down.

Thank you all, and especially to the design team, for being so patient with me during this transition!! The blog has been very quiet this past couple of months, but if you take a look at the DT gallery, you will see that the designers have continued to create amazing cards each week…I just haven’t taken the time to post them to the blog. So I will be doing that over the next few weeks. The current design team term ends at the end of this month. We are going to take a bit of a break over the summer to refresh. The challenges will continue, and I will continue to create some new images, and then we will plan to be in full swing at the end of the summer. So things will continue here just as they have been, with minimal activity, and maybe a burst of creativity here and there. Usually when I tell myself I’m taking a break, I end up being more creative/productive…sometimes having no deadlines is very freeing. :) I hope that’s the case, but no pressure, right?

Here’s What’s New

NEW IMAGE….”Birthday Chicks.” It’s so perfect for your best friend’s birthday!
