Bad/Sad news time. First, I went down into my basement this morning to do some laundry and there was water everywhere! I woke up DH (who is working nights so he had only been asleep for 3 hours) and we started trying to figure out where it was coming from. We still don't know, and no one can come out and give us an estimate on fixing it until Saturday. Here is a pic...ignore the dark dank mess... I had piles of laundry seperated all over the floor.
Then later in the day DH's grandmother called to let us know that DH's cousin took his life. I'm not sure why but I do know that he left behind a wife and 3 small children. A three year old son and 5 month old twin daughters. I hate tragedies like these... It really makes you appreciate what you have. On top of all that my parents are set to arrive tomorrow...yikes!
A little cheer to add to all that drear too... Austin learned how to clap tonight. Its the cutest thing! I've got it on video but havent uploaded it yet. Hopefully next week I can show you all
Austin's Plane Freebie!
Tomorrow my parents arrive. I'm pretty excited but I still have a ton of stuff to do to get ready! Stupid never ending laundry! It will be nice to have the upstairs railing fixed though (thats what my dad is coming to do) And this will be the 2nd time they get to see the baby so thats nice too.
I've put together a little addon to go with the Austin's Plane kit which is still 50% off today. Grab it quick because tomorrow morning it goes back to full price. Be sure to check out the rest of my store at OAKS too because everything is 50% off!
Included in the add-on are four dotted papers and an embroidered uppercase alpha.

Bargain Basement Today!
Check out what I have in the Bargain Basement over at The Daily Scrap! Today only my Bits of RicRac are $1.50! 
Soccer and Stitches!
Today was Caitlin's first soccer game. She did ok, fell a lot and got really dramatic about it, like a little dirt on her knee was proof of a broken leg or something. I got some cute pictures though! Thats my girl in the pink shorts. I think I'll have to buy her a black pair so she matches the rest of the team lol
Check out this CUTE LO I did today. I really love that its getting warmer out!
Everyone loved my last stitches so much I decided to throw out a couple of more for you. These ones are bigger than the last set so you can thread even more of your buttons!

You know the deal, leave some love if you DL! Thanks!

Button Stitch Freebie!
We all know that buttons look better when they are stitched to the page so its hard when we find totally cute buttons that arent threaded! I ran into that problem today so I've got a solution for you! I made a couple of stitches that should fit perfectly in your unthreaded buttons. These stitches are so versatile, you can use them in your buttons or line them up to form a row of stitching. I've included the two pink buttons in the download since they are in the preview. I hope you find these useful! 
Leave a comment if you DL please, thanks!

There is now a set of quick pages up made with the Riley's kit that you can grab for only $5. Thanks for all of your support so far!

New Kit - The Girl on Sale!
I've got a new kit out that was just added yesterday to The Daily Scrap store. The Girl, inspired my daughter Caitlin, is bright, fun and funky! I'm really loving the colors of this kit and I hope that you do too! It's on sale 30% off through next Tuesday so run quick and grab it for only $3.50. After Tuesday the price goes back up to $5.00 so hurry!
In other news, Caitlin has soccer practice today. Her last two practices and her first game have all been cancelled due to weather. Today the weather shows PM showers so we are keeping our fingers crossed for a practice.
Austin got his first pair of shoes last Friday. He is so funny when we put them on him, he acts like he has blocks of concrete on his feet and he can't move but they are so cute!! Check them out.
Then on Sunday he got his first haircut. It was getting a little long and shaggy in the front and around the ears so I gave in and let Randy take him in. I wanted to wait until after he turned one so I could get a nice lock of hair, I've settled for a little lock.

After
So what do you all think?

Boy Oh Boy Freebie
Before I get to the freebie I would like to take a moment to remind everyone about the Charity group I'm a part of. Scraps For Charity is completely non-profit. Every month we will have a new kit for sale and the procedes of that kit go to the charity of the month. This month we are doing the Riley Hospital for Children. This is a really great cause and we appreciate all the help you offer. There are 6 seperate kits, each done by a fabulous designer, that all use the same bright and kid friendly color scheme. Also available is a coordinating alpha. Go here to purchase.
Yesterday I had a chance to get some scrapping done and I was able to do some of my Easter LO's. Of course I still have a ton of Easter pictures left but its a start right? Check out that bunny on the LO of Austin. Its from the Easter Chipboard Freebie that Christina Renee (I love her!) offered on her blog. That guy is hillarious. Anyways, I'm hoping I can get more done today along with a couple other CT/Design things.

Now on to the Freebie. It isnt much, just 6 solid papers with a cool circly pattern on them. I stuck with colors that would work great for boys so that it leaves me open to throw some girly solids out later. I hope that you can find a use for these.

Challenges at The Daily Scrap
This month I started hosting two of the challenges over at The Daily Scrap. With each challenge you complete you get a posting gift by me!
The first challenge is the Holiday Challenge, this one is pretty self explanitory. You need to scrap a LO having to do with whatever holiday I pick that month. It could be anything from Halloween to President's Day but will always relate to the month we are in. It could also be a foriegn holiday, you just never know. Of course there is a little twist to it too. I'm never just gonna say scrap your Easter pictures, that would be too easy! So this month we are scrapping past Easter pictures. They can be from last year or 20 years ago, you just can't use the current year. For completing this challenge, posting your LO in the gallery at TDS and then posting you link back to the forums where I host the challenge you will recieve this!
Second Challenge I'm hosting is the Impromptu Challenge. This is a random theme each month. This month I'm doing Western! I want to see pictures ranging from "Cowboys & Indians" to Pony Rides. Meaning real or pretend. And for completing this one you get this!
Did you notice that the two posting bonuses coordinate? Yeah, its that way on purpose! Actually all of the posting bonuses for every challenge at TDS will coordinate each month so you'll want to complete them all so you end up with a huge kit by many designers! Head on over and check out all the challenges we have running!
On to other things...Austin is cutting another tooth, now he has both of his bottom incisors. It was certainly a rough night last night. Poor guy has to be in pain with those teeth cutting. He was up crying off and on through out the whole night.
The invites went out yesterday for Caitlin's Pony Party. She still has no idea.
My husband has his computer up and running for me and I've got a trial version of Photoshop CS2 for now. I'm hoping my Photoshop 7 comes in the mail soon. I'm liking CS2 so far but its different from what I'm used to so it takes me a lot longer to get things done because I keep trying to do it the PS7 way. Well, I'm off to get the girl ready for school, hope you all have a great day!!!
