Oops...I'm LATE!

Hi again! I'm sorry that I'm so late today on blogging. I have been staying up past midnight and then posting, but last night I actually WENT TO BED! That's right, and my children slept well and I actually got 8 FULL hours of sleep! This is a VERY rare thing at my house! So now, I am just getting to the blogging, so I'll leave up the download links for longer today! :)

Thanks again to all those who commented! Wow I love to read the comments, I truly hope after my week is over that you will come on over to my blog and leave comments too! :) I'm going to go into withdrawals without them now...LOL!

Tabatha-Thank you so much for the "old" remedy of honey for my son's eczema...next time it gets bad we will definitely try it! Thanks! Also, YES there will be 1 bear in the Fall Circles kit, so stay tuned. If you scroll down to my first posting (Sunday) you can see a preview of the WHOLE kit.

Sharon-Thanks for the digital hug! Sometimes we all need that!

April- You are so right. Having children with special needs is definitely hard work and some days are definitely harder, but it is the most important thing that I will ever do and I wouldn't trade my JJ for anything! Thank you for the reminder!

Dorann-First of all...thanks for the questions! I DID need something to blog about today! LOL

First, where do you get your inspiration from?
My inspiration comes from many things. First of all my children and family and all of my memories and life experience. It comes from my stuffed animal collection. As you will notice, most of my kits are "themed", and mostly holiday related, so holidays definitely inspire me. And one of my most inspirational things is COLOR. I love color and I get so inspired by a good color swatch!

Next, what is your favorite kit that you've designed, care to share a preview.
This is a hard one....because it changes all the time. My newest kit is usually my new favorite. So my "new favorite" just happens to be FALL CIRCLES right now. LOL. I spend such a long time finishing my kits that I am very proud of them and I love them all. But I do have 2 kits that remain my true favorites after all this time. I kind of hesitate to mention them, because unfortunately they happen to both be exclusive to another site. So I won't give a link out but I will share the previews. :) I really do support TSG and all my stores, equally! I love each one of them for what they have to offer me as a designer and I love getting to know the individual customers at each store. So I hope you won't think bad of me, that my favorites aren't at TSG at this time. (sorry)

This kit is my VERY FIRST kit. It means so much to me because it was designed in tribute to the way I was raised...on a cattle ranch in Southern Utah. It also was created with my favorite colors (Navy Blue, Forest Green, Deep Red). I had seen many Cowboy-western digital kits, but I hadn't really seen one that I felt was "real," with real-life cowboy items and I felt as a real "cowgirl", I needed to create a kit. I used real imagery (hat, saddles, hay, boots, etc.) from my family's ranch, so it does have a special place in my heart.




My other favorite, I had a lot of fun with the colors, the theme, and all the bears that I created for this kit. I don't really have a real reason for liking this one so much, but I just do. Maybe because it's title is one of my favorite songs! This kit also has an add-on pack...and you can see those in the preview too.





The funny thing about this is that both of these kits remain my worst selling kits (some of my individual element/paper packs sell worse, but as far as kits these don't sell well)...LOL...but they just happen to be my favorites!


Finally, do you want to have more children or is your family complete?
We will definitely be having more children. We are hoping to wait another year or two (because of our financial situation), but then we hope to have at least 3 more kids. My husband and I both grew up in large families and we want to have a large family as well. We are members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS-or Mormon) and I guess having large families is kind of in our heritage, LOL. But truly we just love kids and feel like there are more children coming to our family. We also want to adopt after we have our own children.


Well, I need to go get my son ready for school! Thanks again Dorann for asking those questions! It made it easy to blog today! So all of you are welcome to leave some questions in the comments so I have something to blog about tomorrow. :) Keep commenting! You are truly making my week!

Here is today's piece of FALL CIRCLES! Thank you all for your support!
