I know, I know, it’s been a long time since I blogged…so I did a bit of Spring Cleaning and decided a facelift was in order! I started out with a 3-column template and then began to play with the xml… I used brushes from Obsidian Dawn and Carla Gibson for the header and menu backgrounds…feel free to let me know what you think of the new look.

We’ve been busy around here – visiting family and friends in OK, celebrating birthdays with my brother (18), mom, and nephew (5), and watching Nadya progress from crawling to speed-crawling, to pulling up, and taking her first couple of steps this past Monday! We’re also getting ready to celebrate her 1st birthday which also means my 1st attempt at decorating a cake! I had initially planned on making her a cake shaped like a piggy to continue with her farm animal theme, but while waiting for Hobby Lobby to frame a couple of items I found a Wilton cake pan shaped like a number 1 – so a number 1 it will be! Since I know you’re just dying to see how much my little one has grown since I last blogged, here’s one I took earlier in the week:

Isn’t she just adorable?!?!

The ladies have also been busy! There are lots of new goodies to tell you about (previews are clickable and will take you to the respective store)!!! Bunny just released a new template set designed to maintain the focus on your pictures…you know the reason we scrap!!

Lynn has a new paper pack out – Aspen – I just love this one! I got a sneak peak at some of the elements she’s working on and Wow – I can’t wait!

With summer fast approaching, who doesn’t want Ice Cream? Nikki is providing all the fun and none of the calories with her Neopolitan kit. I think there’s even a free Sundae on her blog!

I don’t have previews, but Kim has 2 new grab bags in her store, 1 CU and one Personal Use…but you know that since they’re Kim’s they’re fabulous! LOL

Lastly, Kristine, aka the Wench, has some new goodies too. One of my personal favorites is Dazzle…lots of glitter and shimmer!!!!

That’s all from me – at least for now! Have a great Thursday!
