Friday, Friday, FRIDAY!
Posted on October 24, 2008 at midnight
Can you believe it's Friday already! Wahoo! I'm going scrapping with my best scrappy friends today and I'm so excited. We have lots of fun, lots of food and a little bit of scrapping. We're all moms with young children and once a month we put our husbands in charge of the kiddos, supper and bedtime and we enjoy a little time for ourselves. We all agree that we feel refreshed and renewed and ready to take up our Mommy duties again with renewed energy and patience. All because of scrapbooking! Isn't that great?! :-)
And you know what else is great? Becuase it's FRIDAY, that means it's time for FREEBIE FRIDAY!! I've got two giveaways, both with a card making theme! Some 8x8 pads, stamps and peek-a-book albums....cuz remember, those great little albums make really fun cards as well! So, leave a comment on this post and we'll choose a couple of winners for these great prizes!:
Prize #1 will contain an 8x8 Botanical Bliss pad, the Simply Spring stamp set, and the Round Peek-a-Boo Album
The winner of prize #2 will win an 8x8 Yuletide pad, the Holiday Whimsey stamp set and the Holiday Peek-a-Boo album
Well, I have really enjoyed blogging with you all this week. Thank you so much for the warm welcome and all of your sweet comments. I loved Pam's idea last week of sharing her first ever Tinkering Ink layout, so I thought I'd do the same. I've been working with TI for almost exactly two years and I have loved every minute of it! Thanks Paul and Kezia! And here is my first ever TI layout using the Covent Garden line, which is still one of my favorites. I love the colors in this line and that beautiful tulip paper.
Goodbye for now!
Betsy
