Nitwit Eye Candy
Have you been to the NitWit Shop?

I still remember the day I received the PM from Mary Fran asking me to be on her team. I was so surprised and flattered! I have never sent her an e-mail asking to be on her team so I was really shocked. And honored that someone like her would pay attention to my gallery.
Now on to her gorgeous, gorgeous products! If you get one of her kits, you will be amazed by the quality of cute stuff it has! All those stuffed quilted elements - it really looks like the real thing! And with each collection, I really believe you can build one whole album.
Stop by at Nitwit today ![]()
You wont be disappointed!
Shopping.
It is time for shopping again! Christmas shopping officially starts in September and I cannot wait to make plans on what to give to my family and relatives this year! Just a heads up though, for those wanting to have savings on the side even while shopping, go visit couponchief.com, this site is a fabulous site for coupons to my most favorite stores! I already have gotten a code from Dell Home for a laptop Im itching to buy and I want to have a new lens for my Canon Digital Rebel Xti! Maybe I can convince my husband to get one using Ritz Camera coupons I found there as well! This will be a very merry christmas for us, Im sure! I better start planning to scrap with!
Songbird Avenue August: Dreamsicle

Did you read the blinkie? Design + Charity = Happiness

This month’s guest designer is Robin Carlton and she chose to have the Make A Wish Foundation as the recipient of the proceeds of this month’s kit! I have made it a point to buy Songbird Avenue’s monthly kits so I can somehow help and still feed my shopping addiction to digital kits. You wont be disappointed on this kit - it is huge, fun, whimsical and very very pretty!
I hope you help make a wish come true by buying the kit for a limited time only this month!
SSD Recipe Challenge: Go Alpha Crazy!
One of the exciting things for me being a SugarBabe is being able to head challenges over the Sweet Shoppe. Im now going to be permanently alternating with Sugarbabe Karen for the Recipe Challenge, and Im actually keeping tabs on what I can use for challenges.
Here is my first challenge to cook up a sweet layout - USE ALPHAS! Alphas are the main anchors to get the subject of your layout across. So go crazy with them, use four or more!

Link of the challenge is here.
Cant wait to see what you come up with!
SSD’s Spin a Lift Sunday
I got to host the SSD’s Spin a Lift Sunday two weeks ago.

I chose to lift one of the layouts from the gallery of our newest Sugarbabe, Cindy S! I fell in love with her style and use of elements in a cohesive way. I actually have many of her layouts for future lifting already!
I have gotten many compliments on the conversion of the photos - I used Itty Bitty actions there ![]()

Investing on Silver
A little trivia for you today - which has more value, gold or silver? These two precious metals are the leading investment products among all metals. They are generally available for purchase in coin or ingot form. Ingots are the basis of coin values and are pure bullion cast in a shape convenient for use. According to analysts, there is a great investment opportunity to be found in silver these days as the demand for is has increased because it is now exceeding annual production (the demand for it) since 1990. Add to that is the fact that the supplies for silver bullion are low. Proof of which is the US government, they used to be a silver hoarder but now is a silver buyer. Precious metals can be bought at the Monex Precious Metals Company.
Where Have I Been?
It seems I might have dropped off the face of earth huh? Im so sorry for not being able to update this as much as I want to, as I’ve been very busy. This is not to say that I havent been scrapping, because I think I have produced more layouts than ever, being able to work for such great creative teams! I have so many news, scrapping wise, and layouts to share. I also would like to use this blog as a tool to dissect what I am loving about this hobby and my growing interest in photography. Im doing a book review but it has been saved in My Drafts folder for five days already. Hopefully before the week ends, it will be shown in the blog!
I WILL BE BACK!
Love.
Most of my friend go to me for love advice, I dont know why. I have had my husband as my boyfriend for almost 11 years and he is my first boyfriend and last :). We have had so much trials come along our way and a lot of sacrifices need to be done, but in the end it was all worth it. Im happily married. However, if you need love advice, you can go to www.relationshipheadquarters.com for some needed advice.
Guest CT Spots!
Im so proud to be a guest creative team member for Nancy Comelab and Kay Miller this month. Im hard at work creating layouts for them now and I will show it to you as soon as Im finished!!!
It’s all about the PROM!
School is starting for my cousin in September and she is an incoming junior. Suddenly, everything took a backseat and it’s all about everything about the prom - the dress, the date, the car, the diet. She has been looking for 2008 prom dresses every chance she has and has been talking with friends over it every night. I remember my own prom - I was Prom Queen - yes! I was! - and my dress was just made two weeks before the event. I went to the salon for my hair and makeup and I was done - no magic, no tension. I was more tense in delivering the Class Prophecy than by looking good!
Inked.
I have never considered myself getting a tattoo. Body piercings - a little. But tats? No. Tattoos are just too permanent for me - and I can just see my old body, sagging and crumpled skin with a tattoo on and it makes me gag. I love tattoo designs though. Id like to try a henna tattoo someday.
Body Image.
I have been trying to lose weight (for the first time in five years) and so far, it has been really really hard. To be completely honest, if it werent for the high cost of liposuction and the fear of complications, I would have gone under the knife and do a liposuction. However, I think I need to do this the hard way - I really need a lifestyle change. So Im laying off soda, Coke, my favorite and trying to control my intake of all things sweet.
Hair Woes
My hair is pushing up to the bottom of my shoulder blades already - and Im really trying to let it grow longer. However, my problem is falling and breaking hair. Ever since baby #2 and breastfeeding, I havent been able to completely lose the falling hair sickness associated with pregnancy and breastfeeding. Will New Jersey hair transplants
do the trick for me? Ack. I hope I wont need it.
