What an awesome scrappin week

Good morning.

I read a post somewhere this week that said Karma will sometimes bite you in the butt. Well I also believe that Karma will rain sunshine down on you too. I don't know what I did in the scrapping world, but I've had some wonderful things happen to me in the last week. I guess it's to make up for things in life that aren't going so well right now. Let me share with you my scrapping week excitement.

1. Fantacy asked me to be a member of her Scrappin Hillbilly Sweetpea Designs CT

2. Cate asked if I wanted to be a part of the Scrappers Daily Dose CT

3. I won the Queen of Chatterbox contest over at Scrapbook-Bytes and got what basically was like a kid in the candy store prize, 9 GC to designers store and I went on a shopping spree.

4. Yen gave me this and now I need to pay it forward.

5. Andrea (Boyervillescraps) made a killer blinkie for me too, but I need her to email it to me, for what ever reason I can't seem to pull it off her page. And then she made a mini kit for me. Just because I enjoy her blog. Isn't that just the sweetest.

6. ScrapPraise is now holding weekly contests sponsored by the designer of the week. Last weeks designer was Kelly Sauvage who sells out of KB & Friends and does the most amazing vintage feel kits. Well I got a $5 GC from her store. I haven't used it yet, because there are so many great things and I'm having a tough time deciding. But I think I'm going to go with this. It's called Olde World Santa. I love vintage Santa's! But I don't have any heritage photos from Christmas' of my childhood. But who cares, I'll make my current photos look old. You can check out Kelly's store by clicking the preview.

7. And yesterday while I was at work, I found out that ScrapbookBytes made me the featured member of the week. I got a cool blinkie, you can see it to the left, up top. Now this moved me to tears. I've only been scrapping for over 3 months, and SBB was one of the first places I posted an intro to. Immediately I had several people PM me with helpful hints about where to find freebies and tuts. If I had a question, there were always several people who had an answer. When I put up my first layout (and it was horrible) they saw the potential not the mistakes. I have made sooooooo many friends over there. It's my home and I love it there. If you haven't checked it out, please do so.

See I've had an awesome scrapping week! Maybe it's Karma baby.

I've neglected my Buckeyes here lately. What a game they had last night, stomping all over Purdue. And it was supposed to be a tough game? And with Stanford beating USC and Illinois beating Wisconsin, there's gonna be a shake up in the BCS polls and the Big Ten standings. Go Bucks!!!!!!

I checked my regulars for freebies today. It looks like either a slow day or everyone slept in late. I know I did, it was 9:30 when I got up. :) Here's the few I found. If you download it, remember to leave some lovin.

Oh yeah, and I leave you with a little Halloween fun I did last night. I used Tallula Moon Designs Trick or Treat which is available at 3 Scrapateers. You can also grab her fan of blinkie, add it to your signature line and leave a comment as to where you post. We're RAKing 5 people with this fun Halloween Kit.

Until next time, scrap happy!
