here's a very tiny peek of one of my Fancy Pants layouts
I know it's not a lot to go on. Sorry! I'll post the rest of it on the 11th. Oh I do hope that you all are trying out for the call. I know the trend for most manufacturers is to go with someone already famous...but honestly, those "famous people" had to start somewhere too. They've updated their blog with a little more info, so go by and check it out. It's raining horribly here. Gosh, in Miami, it's either hot or raining...
xo
Oh, I just love Harry Potter. I think they're some of the most well written and entertaining novels. And the movies are brilliant. Well, I was reading Jaime Warren's blog and came across this:
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince - Exclusive Trailer
I can't wait for it to be in theaters! I hope they hold off until December. I love watching movies during the holidays!!!
Well, I'm off to start my day. Hope you have a great one!

I'll post the winner of my RAK.
So sorry I haven't been updating this thing. I've been doing yard work and housework...yuck. And, I'm actually trying to put together some layouts. I haven't created anything in awhile. I think CHA overwhelmed me. I left there full of so much eyecandy, I got home and didn't know where to begin. Anyway, check back tomorrow evening...can't say what time--so sorry. I have boys and they're totally unpredictable. I'll announce the winner, and yes, I will ship International. Can't leave the overseas ladies out of this one--I am from the Philippines and that would just be wrong.
Oh, on a side note, thank goodness I only teach PRESCHOOL, because according to THE BLOG READABILITY TEST,
I write like an Elementary school student.
Whew, I knew I'd made the right choice when I chose to teach 2-3 year olds. But in all honesty, I post to this blog quickly. I truly do ramble, and it feels really liberating to write the way I speak (which isn't at a college level) and ignore proper grammar, spelling, and punctuation. Yeah, I went to college, but truly don't feel the need to write a college term paper every time I sit down to blog...not quite sure I could do it anymore anyway!
So, the point is, if you went to Elementary school, you should be able to read and understand my blog. Congratulations!!!! Go on, follow the site and enter your blog's url...you know you wanna...Better yet, enter your friend's blog address, hee hee. I did! And yes, everyone's smarter than me :)
It's raining outside, and my scrapping area has me stressed. I've just accumulated too many things...
things that I'm not using...all bought with good intentions.
I have so many unfinished projects and paper/embellie stacks laying around and
IT'S ALL STRESSING ME OUT!
So what did I do about all that stuff?
I broke it apart and separated it all into baggies
and
I'd like to give it away.
I may or may not post pictures of it later, when I've finally finished purging. I'm going through everything, because being surrounded by STUFF has me horribly overwhelmed.
A lot of it is new, untouched.
So if you want it, let me know.
If I get a few responses, I'll choose someone randomly. If you're the lone poster, then lucky you!
So all you have to do is post here, saying that you want my
MYSTERY STASH.
Trust me, there are lots of groovy goodies.
Looking at the piles of stuff, I realized I bought it all because it's so pretty.
And I bought duplicates of a lot of things.
Well, I've got to get back to my purging...otherwise, I'll decide that I want to actually keep everything.
I'm saying bye to Pink Paislee, Hambly, KI memories, Tinkering Ink, Heidi Swapp, Queen & Co, Jenni Bowlin, MME, Inque Boutique, Heidi Grace, K & Company, Kaiser...and there's so much more *sniff, sniff*
I hope it's sunny where you are, because it's raining horribly here. Well, at least I've got one ray of sunshine to look forward to...Tonight's REVEAL NIGHT at Studio Calico.
If you're up at midnight, swing by!
Okay, I'm updating this with some pictures of the RAK...things I've accumulated so far:
I know the pictures aren't fantastic, and there's actually a lot more sitting there than you can see. I put stuff in packages, like the Pink Paislee, for example. There are papers/die cuts from 2 different lines, although you can only see a sheet from Spring fling...
xo
Okay, I've been dreading this post, because I took sooooo many pictures at their booth and Typepad has been taking an eternity to upload my photos...grr.
All of the Designers at Maya Road were so sweet and down-to-earth. They were genuinely overjoyed that I loved all of their creations and excited that I would be posting them all over my blog!
Shall we begin...
Sorry, this one is slightly out of focus...I didn't want to use my flash.
Actually, there are quite a few that are a little blurry. I just couldn't keep perfectly still. I was so giddy with excitement!
This album was just gorgeous. I have so many photos from the Maya Road booth. I just don't think the boys will let me sit at my computer for another minute, so I'm not going to post them all. I think the Maya Road projects were my absolute favorite and I'm ready to order everything they released. I love all of their velvet flowers...yummy. Well, I guess that's all for now.
If you haven't already heard, Fancy Pants is having a Design Team Call. The info is here. If you try out for the call, GOOD LUCK! I'm off to make some pancakes...yum....I love pancakes! Have a great day!

You can create your Wordle here
My husband showed me the site. I thought it was fun. I'll be back later today to post the last pictures from CHA. You've all been wonderful for enduring my show-and-tell...
I know you're beginning to tire of this, but I want to finish sharing my CHA trip pictures.
Oh, but before I begin, have you seen Donna Downey's latest post? She went from a size 16 to a size 6! She looks great. Swing by her blog.
Okay, more CHA stuff.
These are the guys at the Obrien booth, Kyle and Richard. They were the nicest gentlemen. We had the pleasure of hanging out with them after the show.
I met Claudine Hellmuth
And had a chance to play with her new paints
I just love how sweet all these famous designers are. Everyone lets you snuggle them like you're their BFF!
Rusty Pickle had some cool new products
Love their new Valentines line
And look how they package their buttons. Cute, right?
The Pink Paislee booth was beautiful...
I managed to snag a picture with Rebecca Cross in front of Pink Paislee goodness
I love all of the DT creations!
Okay, I think I only have one more post of CHA pictures. I'll try to do it tomorrow. And then, onto something else...hopefully a layout or two, hee hee...
Yes, I am still slowly making it through my pictures...
Okay, so we did a lot of eating at CHA. Here's Tammy trying to sneak a lick at the chocolate fountain. That chocolate was yummy!
Oh, and here I am in my CHA tourist attire
I fell in love with the Funky new Sassafras line
love those trees and the cute little bunny
okay, even if you're not porcupine/hedgehog/mushroom girl, you have to admit, this is pretty cute...
What I love about the new Sass paper...
the edges
Okay, I was overjoyed when Michelle, the owner of Scrapbook Central, let me choose one of the Sassafras lines to try in the store. I struggled and finally chose, Fawnd of you too.
I know, it has that creepy little deer, but honestly, I thought our customers would appreciate the color palette. I really liked "Happy Place" but thought not everyone would love all of the rainbows.
So now that I have this deer paper, what photos do I have to go with it?
Hmmm, we had dinner here
And I found these...
This little guy goes perfectly with the paper
Can you believe this was one of the restaurant's windows?
And this little guy was perched up on a shelf...no worries, he's stuffed, hee hee...
The restaurant was full of all sorts of "woodland creatures"
And this yumminess
Isn't that pizza beautiful? I've never seen anything like it. I think it must have weighed like 20 lbs in cheese!
Well, that's all I have time for right now. Believe it or not, I've been working on this post since 9 am. Typepad is soooooooooo slow!
I've got a minute, so I thought I'd show you a few photos of my favorite things.
I made one of these groovy little necklaces
I spent a lot of time at Prima's booth. I love all of their flowers
and frilly things
OMG! What an awesome RAK!!! You are so generous! WOW!

Kim, please email me your address so I can put your goodies in the mail for you. I found some extra stuff that I didn't have a chance to photograph, so you'll be getting that as well. Thanks to all of you that posted, wanting to help me get rid of my stash.Remember how I mentioned that Fancy Pants DT call? Who else is answering the call? Don't be shy. I'm just curious. I finally finished one layout--2 more to go.
While I was stalking Corinne Delis's site, I came across this:
Want to get published? well here is your chance. I am looking for 4 lo's for the upcoming issue of ScrapMagazine for my sketch column....
To see the rest, go to her blog: Corinne Delis
Oh, and a new kit club, Shop Crop Suey is also doing a DT call. You have until August 1st to submit. Go check them out here: Shop Crop Suey
They're announcing their DT on Saturday.
All Moments Remembered is having a contest. The House Mouse Contest. They're giving away some really cute Halloween stamps. Go check them out here: AMR
Oh, and I almost forgot to mention the contest on the Papercents blog.
POST YOUR SEI LAYOUT ON YOUR BLOG contest. Read more about it here.
Marilou is hosting the contest. She runs Papaercents.com, an awesome online store. You can find her in my sidebar. She is super-sweet and has awesome customer service. I met her at CHA. She ordered some really cool stuff, so watch her site for CHA preorders!
Hmm, I think that's all I have for now. Hopefully I'll have a layout to post really soon! Hope you're having a good evening. I have to go. My boys are putting on a Magic Show for us before they go to bed.
