I also love the EZview desk! Imagine how sweet it would be to be sitting at the desk and scrapping away, when you realize that "something" is missing. You just look down into your desktop - and there is an array of brads, flowers, and small embellishments with lots of colors to choose from! If that sounds like something you could use, check out this offer: “Enter this code when you place your order to get $100 off your shipping: 100Writes.”!

So Very Happy!

I'm so happy and excited for my friend, Meg. She was chosen to be on the CT for A Cherry On Top, which is my favorite scrappy site! I'm so proud of her and she totally deserves this! Check it out here.

I'm not a good Blogger

It's been quite a while since I've written again. Sigh. I don't remember to visit my blog often, as you can tell. There's not much going on in my very quiet and very same every day life. Let's see... a doctor's appointment to check on my meds, my older son's birthday, got Mom a car, went to the grocery store. Oh - well - maybe I can come back later and write a bit about my firstborn's birthday and my Mom's car! I'll certainly try to remember. If I do - I'll see you soon!

Great Giveaway - Check it out!!
