on the dot

I'm very excited to let my friends know that I am now officially designing for "on the dot." This is an absolute fabulous manufacture and Rebecca Lemmon is so very sweet. Their paper line is extraordinary. I just received a few lines this past Friday and I can't wait to start cutting and creating. Here is a scan of part of paper (not the whole sheet). This gives you a closeup look at this fabulous paper.

This is part of the lemonade & blue jeans - raspberry lemonade and stars and strips forever collection. I wanted you to see the distressed part of the paper. This is a good weight cardstock and the colors are wonderful. I will be posting throughout August and September close ups of the paper and a few projects! Go to on the dot and look at the yet to be released Autumn collection. Wow, does not cover it. I'm so very excited about my new design job with on the dot and working with Rebecca. Please know I'll be giving a few RAKs away along the way of my new journey. So be watchful. Whoo Hoo...someone hold me down.

Momma's Here

We went to the Biltmore Estate Saturday and had the time of our lives. Mom and I got along so great and I loved every moment of being with her. It is an honor to have a mother like this special lady. Here are a few photos.

I have some photos of some of the most beautiful flowers, but I'll wait until later to get them posted.

Today we celebrated mom's 70th Birthday. 70! She doesn't look 60 yet! She is truly beautiful and takes very good care of herself. Here's some B-Day photos (her birthday is actually Friday, but I'll be at CKC.)

Fun Days. Mom is going to Charleston tomorrow and Tuesday with her granddaughter. This will give me a chance to catch up on my scrapbooking work and get ready for CKC this THURSDAY. I know I will be busy. And I still have to get my son ready for school.

Thanks for everyone's support and prayers....keep it coming. I've added comment moderation to my blog as it seems like I might a few folks who want to express themselves in less than a positive manner. I'll be checking regularly and updating the comments. This will not affect our Debby's Dares as far as when you commented. Everything is time stamped. I'm still shooting for that magical 10,000 unique visitors mark. Keep it coming guys. I'll try to keep it fun.

Gratitude List:

1. 70 years for my mother

2. a great visit

3. my friends at home and on the net

4. folks who really care

5. my loving Father's caring and love for me.
