Design Team updates

Hi all!!! Oh my cricut is cutting again!!! and I have been using it like crazy! I am cutting cute patterns I want to share with you ladies to make neat lil minis! I hope you love them as much I do!! They are drawing I finally got out of the drawer, dusted off, scanned and cut!  Also, wanted to say that I am no longer in the Twinsmoms design team, haven't been since last Oct (for those that had asked). And as of yesterday I am not designing for MAS (Mini Album Scraps) I still love everyone at MAS and will continue to join the swaps/challenges and chat but I had to let a few things go in order to concentrate on my designs and everything that I have "dancing circles around my brains!"  I will though, be Designing for I BRAKE FOR STAMPS!!  So look for neat stamped designs! Ok well back to the cutting board...more soon......xoxoxox

Clues of Exciting news...

Hi ladies...Sure hope everyone's year is off to a great start! Mine is, I have sooo many many things brewing in my head to show you all! This year I really want to invite all of you sweet ladies & friends to create with me and play along with the fun I have in store for you all!
 I have been on the "prowl" for new designs to help feed the creativity hunger that has developed in the "den".  
As you may know, I DIDNT end 2011 very well. The Flu got me good, and there are still some reminiscences of it floating around in my head but its on its way out. I  have been working to get caught up and start creating.  Calenders are being filled, and ideas are being put on paper!! I hope you ladies will share in my excitement and follow my blog closely... the Pride is out tonight and you never know what the "Cat might drag in!"
       Thanks for dropping in and as always...
