Oh! What fun!! I’ve been tagged by Laura Burger ( http://lauraburger.blogspot.com ), whose totally FAB designs I love!! To write 5 weird things about me!!! Of course, limiting it to 5 is gonna be hard :)

1. When I was young, I really wanted to be a priest, I loved church, and would set up my dolls and stuffed animals and hold "Mass"… that was of course until someone broke the news to me that I couldn’t BE a priest ’cause I was a girl… Broke my heart!!

2. I have a shoe "problem" I can’t stand having my feet "tied" into shoes, clogs save my life! When I have to wear sneakers or other enclised shoes I have this crawling feeling all day in my feet ’cause they are stuck!

3. We have an ungodly number of totally rockin’ digi cameras….. More than we could ever use! It’s a LONG story about why… but at the moment, we have a Nikon D70s (the Nikon is my personal fave) 2 (yes TWO) Canon digi rebel Xti’s and 2 (yes….. again, TWO) Canon  D5’s… honestly, it’s obsene…. I’ll have to tell the Canon story soon…. it’s a beauty…. Oh, we also have a sony cybershot that we got just before the Canon’s….. yeah, we (DH… it’s a story for another post) has camera issues!

4. There’s an 80’s song…. "Total Eclipse of the Heart" That I HATE HATE HATE… it practically makes me explode when I hear it….. I really love all things 80’s…. except THAT song….. I don’t know what it is about it… but….. Seriously, it makes me cringe just typing about it.

5. I love apples… I know that that in and of itself is not weird… BUT they give me migraines, each and every time that I eat one, they are a big trigger for me…. BUT I love, love, love them…. and it’s fall in New England… Apple picking season… Yup, I can trace 2 of my last migraines directly to the yummy apples I’ve eaten…

Now I need to go find a few friends to tag…. I’ll be back :)

I am so excited to be designing LO’s for Stacie Prinzo at www.thedigishoppe.com !! Here’s my first layout created for her, using her "A Love…" papers and embellishments… The font is "Crappy Joe" which I love to use ’cause the name cracks me up everytime!!!

I’m so excited to be a Guest Designer for Deb Fisher for the month of October!! I love her designs sooooo much! You can see them at www.debfdigiscraps.com Here’s my first layout using her kits this month, the kit is called "One Perfect Day" and I used a pic from the road when we were on the way to the Deerfield Fair on Saturday!

Oh!!! And some more super exciting news!!!! Stacie Prinzo at The Digi Shoppe has invinted me to be a part of her CT!!!! Yeah!!!! I’m so totally psyched!!!!!

It’s been a little while since I’ve had time to post! Here’s one I completed last night using Jessica Bolton’s "Grungy-DST Starter Pack" mini kit that she created for an upcoming DST crop. I also used Jen Caputo’s template from the October DST newsletter, it got away from me a little, but that’s how it started :)

I finished a LO yesterday, that I love…. so into a separate folder it goes!! I’m determined that I will submit to this! Last year I got 5 layouts done, and I got distracted around the holidays… and never finished… then I was sad when the calls started going out… NOT that I think that I would actually get a call, but it wasn’t fun knowing that I couldn’t get a call ’cause I didn’t enter…. Now the tricky part… not sharing your favorite layouts!!!!
