More on my family....

Hi again! I have to say...being a guest blogger has been a really good experience for me. I have been truly sharing a lot and my own blog suffers because I usually just use it to advertise my new products and not really anything else...so this is good! Maybe it will help me to be a better blogger. :) Speaking of which...if you would like to check out my blog it is located at http://designsbydede.blogspot.com

Once again, I have to say thank you to all of you who left comments on my posting! It still feels amazing to have so many compliments on my work! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!

For those of you who missed Day 1 of the Kit...I'm sorry to say but no, I am not going to hand that out...you might all think I'm a little harsh, but I feel like I specifically stated that if you missed it, you missed it. BUT the whole kit will be in the TSG Store after this week is over...so you can get it then! I hope I still have fans after this....LOL. I just want to get everyone back to the blog everyday! I hope you understand.


Suzette said: "As for your son, who is completely adorable, has anyone mentioned the autistic spectrum?" The answer is YES, we have gone through the autistic route. He has many autistic behaviors, but it doesn't narrow everything down. So it might still be autism, but right now JJ's doctors don't think so. But thank you for that.

Keep those questions coming!!!!


Since yesterday, I shared some more information about my kids, I thought today I would share a little more information about my husband and myself!

This is my hubby (Joey) and I this past Christmas. This is the last time we have a picture of us together....we need to remedy that. Joey is an amazing person. He has come through a lot of trials in his life and a hard childhood, but he has an amazing spirit. We met in college in St. George, Utah, when his best friend was dating my roommate. We dated for 3 months and then Joey moved 5 hours away to work. We continued dating for the next year-and-a-half long distance while I finished school and then we were married. We learned a lot through that, and it really helped us to be independent and yet still love to be together. Joey is so smart. He has not gotten his degree yet (due to financial concerns), but he has taught himself everything he knows. He is a computer programmer and works very hard to provide for us. He is always working on open-source projects and always willing to help someone out with computer stuff, whether it is his friends and family or someone online that is thousands of miles away. He really enjoys his job at Novell and finally has a boss that understands him, trusts him, and respects him, so everything is good. Eventually he will go back to school and finish his degree, but he has so many years of experience now that it really isn't NEEDED. Joey is the best dad in the world. He loves to be with his kids and from the moment he gets home from work, he is with his kids and helping me out in whatever I need. I feel so blessed to have a husband who respects me, loves me, and is so supportive of my designing. He is always giving me great compliments of what I am doing and doesn't mind if I spend HOURS doing it. He will go be with the kids or do whatever I need him to do. I'm very lucky. I know a lot of designers don't have that support, so I feel very grateful. He loves football and we are INDIANAPOLIS COLTS fans and so Sundays (after church) are spent watching football and cheering on our team! Our favorite thing to do together is watch movies/tv shows. We love movies...we will just spend hours watching together. All kinds of genres too. That is just "our thing." We also both love to read. Our living room is filled bookshelves and books. Someday we want to have a big house so we can have a TRUE LIBRARY. I just love Joey so very much. He is my true best friend. I am so blessed to have him in my life.

The last time we got a family portrait was at Christmas too (and it was in our Christmas PJs...LOL) We really need to get a new one, but I thought I'd share this with you anyway.

The product I want to share with you today is one of my newer kits. If you haven't seen it yet, you really should! :) It is one of my new favorites. With my son starting Kindergarten and everything I had to finish up a School kit that I had started last year and never finished! I loved how it turned out! What do you think?



Get it in the store now!


All right, that is all I really have today. I'm tired and I have a long to-do list of things I need to get done designing, so I better get to it! But before I go, here is today's piece of my FALL CIRCLES Kit! If you haven't gotten Day 2 yet, you better go get it...the link will expire tomorrow morning!


SORRY, THIS LINK HAS EXPIRED


HAVE A GREAT TUESDAY! SEE YA TOMORROW!
