Who Knows

I responded to this post by Scarlet Namvong on Facebook but since I haven't got Facebook all figured out I thought I would post it here so here goes.....
The first five people to respond to this post (in the comments) will get something made by me.This offer does have some restrictions and limitations so please read carefully:* I hope you will like what I make, but I can't guarantee it.* What I create will be just for you.* It will be done in 2009, but you won't know when.* You have no clue what it's going to be. It will be something tangible... but perhaps not permanent. You will be able to touch it. You may also be able to taste it or smell it. You might possibly be able to hear it. Who knows? Not you, that's for sure! Perhaps not even me.* I reserve the right to do something extremely strange.Here's the fine print:In return, all you need to do is post this text into a note or blog entry of your own and make 5 things for 5 others.
Cool huh? Really I can make some neat stuff so common on you know you want to comment you'll be suprised at what you get.You might be asking hmm if I don't know when she's sending it how is she sending it? Well silly once there are 5 peeps that have commented I will find your email or you can email me your addy at mandy_koeppen@hotmail.com
Sounds like fun I'm excited!!

So Cool

OK so I may not be that cool I'm kinda a big dork and ya'll are going to think that too after you read this... I have been waiting for Paula's review over at the Scrap Review before i would even load PSE7 onto my computer to make sure it was a good purchase and after it waiting in the box almost 2 weeks and getting the good review from her I finally took a deep breathe and put it on my computer then I was just overwhelmed and duh feeling till I came across this website Shabby Princess this place is AWESOME!! I downloaded the kit (and a pp from DD)and then used her step by step tutorial omg it was great so if your like me wanting to try something digi but don't have a clue go there she has lots of info and cool stuff. So without further ado here is my first digi layout it's not spectacular but I was pretty darn happy when it was all done. I may go back and change the journaling cause it wasn't really thought out just scatered thoughts but I had fun! This is one of the photos I was able to get last week during the nice weather we had Miss Avery and Bitty Bits they are quite the pair.Will have more pics to share hopefully this weekend I'm in one of those moods lately and I jsut feel blah.It's getting better I think the fresh air and nicec weather is going to get me in a better mood now. Thanks for looking! Have a great night!

layout was created using 'happy Go Lucky" kit from shabbyprincess.com and green and white dot pp from Designer Digitals.

This week....

Has been stressful! I'm glad it's almost over. It's beautiful here in Michigan today! I can't wait till its like this all the time again. This afternoon was a bit better for me thank goodness. Mav, Avery and I went outside to play on the swing set and we had a little picnic on the back porch/deck. WE chatted and ate some goodies it was nice made me smile and forget just for a little but about everything. I snapped a few photos will have to upload later.
I got my Studio Calico kit today that put a smile on my face too! I love getting that brown box every month so full of goodness and inspiration those ladies over there know how to put an awesome kit together.
Not much else to share at the moment hopefully I'll have something to share tomorrow hoping to create a little (have a therapy session) later.Have a wonderful day!
