WONDERFUL IDEA -When filling out your Christmas cards this year, take one card and send it to this address: A Recovering American Soldier, c/o Walter Reed Army Medical Center, 6900 Georgia Avenue, NW Washington, DC 20307-5001. If we pass this on and everyone sends one card, think of how many cards ..these wonderful special people who have sacrificed so much would get. Please copy and post on your wall & KEEP ADDRESS

Is NOW AVAILABLE!!

This kit is now available at Scrappin Bratz!! All proceeds go to Farrah for her medical expenses. More details can be found here.

I know a lot of you are probably familiar with Farrah of Designer Scraps, she was a member of Groovy Scraps as well. She has been in the tagging community and Tutorial maker and many other things. She has been a generous individual with a big heart and kind spirit. And she is going through another difficult time in her life as she faces biopsies and possibly more.

The kind people at Scrappin Brats as well as others, are putting together a Collab Kit that will be used to help Farrah offset her medical bills. You can visit Jilliann's Blog for more information if you are interested in contributing to the kit.

I will be adding my contribution to the kit and I hope others will follow me in doing so. There is also a Donation button on Jilliann's blog for those of you who would like to help but don't create scrap kits. The collab kit will be tagger size so some of you who do not tag might be interested in donating to Farrah instead of purchasing the kit.

You can read more from Farrah herself on her blog.

Please do what you can to help this fine lady! Thank-you!

When the kit is up and ready I will place a link to it here for all of you! HUGZ!!

I just wanted to update everyone on some of my older kits.

I have just finished uploading the kits, "Love Me" (also called Love the Way You Love Me), "Mocha Ambience" "Fragile Flowers" and "Pink Roses" to Groovy Scraps, Creative Scraps (Under LadyAnne's Scraps) and Aussie Scraps.

These kits are also available from my website: Inzpired Dezignz.

I just wanted to let everyone know that as of Nov. 30, 2008 I will no longer be selling my scraps at Crafty Scraps. This is not due to any hard feelings of problems with Crafy Scraps!! The owner, Michelle, is quite ill and cannot keep up with the site so we are being released from our contracts. That is the only reason why I am leaving, so please continue to visit the site!

The boat behind them is the boat where he proposed to her last week! We've spent the week making wedding plans! It looks like the wedding will be June 5, 2009! WOW! This all seems to unbelievable yet!! She may not look it but my daughter is 20 years old!

My daughter got engaged last night! Her Fiance took her on a Lake Michigan Dinner Cruise and he got down on one knee to propose! They don't plan to marry until June of 2010 but it's still exciting!
Here's a picture of her ring... well, the best I could get anyway! LOL!

It's a half carat diamond with Sapphire on either side and two smaller diamonds beside the sapphires. He said he got her a big ring because this is the only time he'll ever get engaged. He's really sweet and we love him a lot.

I can hardly believe it's nearly October! The leaves here in Wisconsin have turned quite a bit in the past few weeks! By next weekend they ought to be at their peak! Time for a drive through Door County! This is my favorite time of year. I love the cooler weather and the colors are so beautiful! to me Spring is when everything comes back to life, but Autumn is prettier with all of its brilliant colors! Well, enough of my rattling on! Hope you like the Autumn leaves I added today.

I'm not sure what's going on at 4 Share. I have to keep logging in to my account and I can't seem to get some of the links to work. I'm working on getting the Autumn Leaf Charms link to work. When I click on the folder from my account everything is there, but it doesn't show up if I (or anyone apparently) click on the link from the blog. Please try back later if it doesn't work now. I'm really sorry about this!

Since I can't get the 4Share link to work I've zipped the charms into one file and put them on MediaFire. Here's the link.
