Ok, I told you there were LOTS of new goodies at DSO.  Mindi was kind enough to gather links and pictures (THANK YOU) so I could easily share with you (click the previews to head to the stores).  First up is my first paper pack – inspired by my Nana and her courageous fight with breast cancer.  She’s a 2-time survivor and the strongest woman I know.  She is truly amazing and if I can be half the woman she is in my lifetime, I will have done well.

Next up we have Jazzy’s new WordArt sets – she’s been busy now that her computer has been repaired.

Darlene has been busy too – she has 3 news kits in her store – 2 winter/holiday themed kits and one fun “coffee” theme kit.

If you missed Andrea’s latest freebies, they’re available in her store now – along with a new kit that will be perfect for your Thanksgiving memories.

Livia has released really cute buttons – inspired by the emoticons that are so popular in the online community.

Kim has revealed her latest grab bags, with too many products to list – all of them amazing (I snagged the bags).  The preview goes to Kim’s store where you can check out all of her new items.

And lastly, in addition to the items I showed you yesterday, Mindi also has a 2nd QP set available for you!

Wow – I told you we’d been busy lil Designers!

In response to a question in one of my blog comments, Tumbletime is a Mommy and Me pre-gymnastics program offered at one of the local establishments.  They also offer swimming and dance programs.  Nadya was eligible to participate starting at 13 months, but I didn’t pursue it until she was 18 months.  I wasn’t ready to introduce her to all of the “social” germs when she was that young and we were in the middle of summer vacations and planning a move, so the timing wasn’t as good for us.  Although I can definitely tell which children have been participating for a long period of time, I’m glad
we waited.&nbsp
; Nadya is mobile and stable on her feet and is really interested in exploring her world, so she really enjoys the activity.  I may pursue a Kindermusik class in January too – we’ll see how it things go and what our budget looks like.

Alright, it’s time for me to head to bed.  Have a great Friday!
