Customer Appreciation from River~Rose

One of my favorite Designers is River~Rose. She has been crazy busy with a contest at
Digiscrapaddicts that she should have definitely won. There was a public vote but I missed it, instead I had the pleasure of being a parent volunteer for a camping trip (overnight) and was trapped in a cabin with 3rd and 5th grade girls without internet or electricity. But here is a sneak peak to her newest release that will be out Friday.
And when you go River~Roses' Blog you can leave a comment and have a chance to win.

Also because she is so sweet, and Autumn brings out the best in her she has an appreciation gift coming up on November 5th for all newsletter subscribers. She just wants to thank her customers old and and new with a fab full free kit.

Of all the Harebrained Ideas!!!

I recently found a website where these really nice ladies were making foam board guitars. Of course I thought, "How Cute". Then I thought that I could probably make something like it for a fraction of the cost. (That is the thing with a Hybrid Addiction--It Cost you money and not the other way around).

Anyway, I have a nephew who is in the 7th grade. By most accounts I am not a very good auntie. We have always lived far away and haven't really ever bonded. So I was determined to make him something cool for Christmas. My sister tells me they have been updating from the little boy rooms that her sons had. We are an enlisted Air Force family with 4 kids, living on my husbands income so we aren't really known for giving expensive gifts.

Costco recently began printing a 20x30 poster in the store for $9. How cool is that? I had some black foam board that I bought a while back (on sale). So I got my digital goodies from River Rose Start a Band, made my layout in PSE, and sent the sucker to print. Drove across town (gas ain't cheap) and picked it up.

Then I used a spray adhesive (yucky nasty stuff-and since the wind was blowing I did it in my house-and I won't even explain those ramifications).

Then I got my husbands blade cutter and put a gouge in our floor (did I mention we live in base housing?). So my horrified, but wonderful husband drops what he is doing to help me out and finish the job before I can do more damage. The cutting of the Guitar went ok, but we quickly learned that all the cuts that I had on the drum set were not going to happen. So I had to redo my layout and fill in all the parts I had planned to cut to black. Then I had to go to back to costco and spend more money and gas.

But I couldn't abandon my goal, even though at this point I knew I should. Basically my husband had to finish what I started, which happens a lot--God, love him. But here it is........You know I didn't save a dime, wasted most of my weekend, found out I should have just supported the nice internet ladies making the foam guitars, kept my hubby from studying. Now I am just waiting to hear from my sister that my nephews hates guitars. So do you think I learned a lesson? Umm, NO WAY!!! As I said before I am compelled to make things my own way, and I am just fortunate enough to have a husband who understands that the mess I make, makes me happy!!

Hybrid Artist for Three Sweet Chicks Designs


Courtney tells me that the "candy holder" gift will not be appropriate (her word) for her healthy teacher. So using the beautiful designs of Three Sweet Chicks I came up with an alternate use for the candy holder--now a bookmark holder.

My First Ever Blog Post


If you know anything about me, you know that I love digital scrapbooking! I have published over 50 photobooks for myself, for gifts, and scrap for hire. I can pretty much find the positive in just about everything, and that includes photobook companies. Today I found out that I have been picked to host a House Party sponsored by Shutterfly. I can not wait to help my friends make a free photobook!!
This is one of the first photobooks I ever made using Shutterfly.
