I'M BACK!

Hey Everyone! Welcome to my blog! I have had it for a little while, but just have not had the opportunity to take advantage! I have made the decision to share my ideas, classes and crops on my blog rather than having a business website. This way, I can post WHATEVER I want! I know that I really enjoy reading other's people's blogs, whether they be about life, stamping, baking...whatever! Its just always fun to see what other people think and do with what they've got!

Its been quite some time since I have a had a workshop or class. Many people have been asking..."When's your next class?" So-this is the fresh start! I am sure most of you are not aware, that I am offically an LLC! The name of my company is Prickly Pear Scrapbooks! I am still a Stampin Up! Demonstrator-and hope to be for quite some time! You will find all events such as classes and crops posted on my blog, as well as Stampin! Up Promotions...AND...Contests! I love taking part in other blog's contests and I am so excited to have some of my own! I can't wait to get started and have a library full of projects for everyone to create and make their own!

I am still going to be issuing a monthly newsletter-so keep an eye out for June's-its a bit late, but I still have 2 weeks! Keep posted the next few days-I will be continuously adding more information as I get my FRESH START!

Thanks Pick a Petal!

My first "official" post!? I am a little nervous, posting this for the world to see but I guess I better get over it fast. I needed to create simple thank you cards for Peyton's first birthday. I wanted something fast and easy, but not cheesy looking. I don't know, maybe some think its cheesy...but I don't! I really like the way this came out alot. Simple, but nice. I used SU! Pick a Petal with Sky Blue and Blue Bayou-add a little Dazzlin' Diamonds, and you've got your self a snazzy little card! I am still testing photo ops for paper...I am not sure how good this photo is, but its my first posted photo-so cut me some slack.

I posted this card on Splitcoast today too, that was my first Splitcoast post too. I have been on Splitcoast since I became a Stampin' Up Demonstrator in July of last year and have NEVER posted anything. Or commented for that matter. I'm not sure why...I guess I was afraid as to what people were going to say!

On a personal note...I am so loving this blogging thing! I love just reading other people's blogs and seeing what kind of creations they've made...or baked! Its so great! The pictures on some blogs are just amazing. I am starting to feel like a junkie. And you know I am going to be spilling my guts somewhere on down the line! Have kids? How about Step Kids? OH BOY! Do I have some stories to tell you!

My Second Post

Ok, my second post. I am really getting into this blogging thing! I am trying to come up with some creative designs to make it my own. Its pretty addiciting. Lets hope that I can get a different post up everyday. I think it will just be about getting this blog up and running, but we'll see.

Here is a really great picture of my son-it was his first birthday on March 29th. He was too funny...I think he enjoyed the bath after the cake more than the cake itself!

Peyton

Peyton @ 4 months...

This is by far my favorite video of him!
