Kay, I’ve been SOOO behind on my blog and not for lack of things to blog about. Just busy and trying to get some balance in life. So today I plan to post at least 3 times to make up for the past couple of weeks. Things to post about include (mostly so I don’t forget)…

• New books I’m reading (or listening to)
• New music I’m listening to (finally updated the video on the blog with a new playlist – and Dino if you help me figure out the new ipod features I promise to not force people to listen to my music anymore)
• Current inspiration
• Totally girly product review
• A new LO (this one may be tomorrow since it’s not finished yet)
• More purse pics :)

I think that’s about it. I promise at least 3 today and in the meantime at least there are new tunes to listen to.

Been busy making more purses. I think I’ve made 8 to 10 so far and it’s been nice to take a break from the computer. My friend Jill has been cutting the patterns for me which makes things go SO much faster. Tomorrow she’s coming over to work on them most of the day with me so I should have about 6 more done by tomorrow night. Manda agreed to have a purse party at her house so we’ll be selling them there but we haven’t set a date yet and should be set with at least a dozen bags to sell there so if anyone’s interested in any of the ones shown just holler. The FUN red fabric is out of print so those will be limited. I’ve got a bit left so if you would like a certain style bag in that pattern let me know. Hoping to make some fun ones with funky trims tomorrow so more pictures soon. :) Pricing will be between $25 – $50 depending on particular fabrics/trim used. Larger bags on the way too. Think beach bags!! :)

And the Ultimate Digiscrap contest is finally over. Congratulations to Robin Carlton. VERY creative idea for the final round with rotating photos in a LO. I’m so glad I participated. I think I’m a little burned out from pushing myself so hard each week but once I’m ready to get back at scrapping I think I’ll be a better scrapper for having been involved in it. And when I’m feeling uncreative I sure know where I’ll be going for some inspiration. That gallery is FULL of amazing pages. So now that we are able to post our LOs outside of the UDS gallery I’ll post them here for now since I don’t have time at the moment to post them to SBB and 2 Peas. You can find all the credits in the original posts at digiscrappin.biz. I’ll post a link to them as soon as the site is back up. Thanks so much to the digiscrappin team and all the judges for putting on such a fantastic competition.
