My LO of Miss Gigi at the Pumpkin Patch won 2nd Prize over at DigiShopTalk (GoldMember Kit Contest). I won $15 toMichelene Martin's Shoppe. I will have no trouble at all spending THAT!

It's been way TOO long...

I am going to try this blogging thing yet again. You see, I have Bugger's CaringBridge site-so I've neglected this a bit. But I am back...and I have a new hobby. I have gone DIGITAL-as in scrapbooking. It is just impossible for me to do traditional scrappin' right now-as I have too many helpers who like to get into everything (and eat it too). I now have a gallery of my artwork-and the link will be over on the right for your viewing pleasure. My goal is to get 3 digital layouts done per mont-that will give me 150+ a year. I will then get the finished layouts bound in a Shutterfly book. How fun is that?

Until Later...here's a sampling of my latest efforts-Enjoy!

My newest items on the auction block

So I got a new character-a twist on my new bear. It's a bunny just in time for Easter-I'm working on more colors and variations. Also, a new layout inspired by all of the yummy cupcake stuff that was available at my place of employment for Valentine's Day!

Check out my Slide Show!

Valentine's Day Art

Here's my latest listings on Ebay. No takers on the layout as of right now-we'll see how it goes as it is ending in two days...

New Bears...

I've started creating some new bears...the verdict is still out on them! Not sure but I may need to tweak some things

It's Been awhile

Wow-I forgot I had started this page last year. Much has happened since then! I am still scrappin' and we have added a new addition to the family. Meet E- She's 3 months old already. Hard to believe! And here are a few of my latest "bear" creations.

Pumpkin Patch Visit

So I wanted to take the kiddos to a local pumpkin patch for some pics. Hey..any opportunity for a scrapbook page and I am all over it. The Bugger was a little miserable-as it was 84 degrees out and silly mommy dressed him in corduroy overalls. But he was just too darn cute in them! The Beaner really liked all of the "Mum-mins" too!

Songs of Love

There is this awesome charity called "Songs of Love" who make songs for chronically or critically ill children. I sent away for one for the Bugger and we received it this summer. It is a terrific song and Bugger just loves it (and so does Beaner). Anyway, I finally just got the "Thank You" made for it and it will go off in the mail tomorrow!

How 'bout them DAWGS!

Georgia won 14-9 versus Mississippi- So the Bulldogs remain undefeated. Let's see how long that will last as the good old rival of Tennessee is fast approaching (this Saturday). At least it is a home game. Here's the Bulldogs newest cheerleader!

So this is my latest creation!

So, I have been into Paper Piecing lately. Like I have so much extra time! I make lots of things with bears. I don't know why-I just do. It makes me happy. I also sell them on Ebay. Not really for the money-although money is nice (don't get me wrong!) I like to see how much stuff will sell for and because I enjoy making things for others to enjoy! My latest obsession has been with flowers. I have made a hydrangea, lilac, pansy, and now a daisy. I have a few more in the works-a tulip, rose, and daffodil. Can't wait to try those out.

The Adventures of Spice Mama

Yeah-Yeah-I am working on a post-a spice mama only has so much time-ya know?
