iNSD and More

Well things have been so crazy at work and at home I haven't had much time to get online at all. I work for an AC company and we have been super busy! Which, considering the doom and gloom from the media about the economy, is a wonderful problem to have. But it also puts my stress level to overload!

I loved all of the wonderful comments and emails I got the last time I posted about reading and books! Thank you all so much! I finished the First Wives Club and I loved it! Olivia Goldsmith really had a way of capturing the lives of women- and she did a great job with girl power! The book was so different from the movie, as usual, but I love the movie too! At first the book was a little depressing because you are meeting each of the characters at such a low point in their lives but the way they each overcome their obstacles and work together to bring their cheating rotten husbands is great reading!

So iNSD is this weekend- that's International Scrapbook Day- and I am so excited! Saturday is the official day but digital and paper scrap shops celebrate all weekend long! I am having a sale at Designs In Digital and at Enchanted Studio Scraps.

And at Designs In Digital I am hosting our first ever NSD Bingo game! Just download the free template, decorate it and post it in the Bingo gallery at DID. Then join me at 1 pm est. in the chat room at Designs In Digital and one lucky winner will walk away with a $50 DID gift certificate! But you have to hurry- the cards must be in the gallery by 10 am est. on Saturday to be eligible to win! Can't wait to see you there!

Bookworms are Awesome =)

Lately I have realized that this blog is becoming less and less personal and more and more just about designing...I love designing and scrapping but its not the only thing I wanted to talk about when I started blogging. Hopefully, going forward there will be more real life mixed in with the designing goodies!

I am also an avid reader- the pile of books to read on the nightstand never gets any smaller because I keep adding to it! It runs in the family- pretty much my entire family has always read. My mom was hard pressed to keep my sisters and me in books when we were kids. Luckily we are all pretty close in age and had similar interests. Remember Sweet Valley High? My sister still has almost the entire series from when we were kids. We also read the not-too-scary Christopher Pike books and mysteries- I think I had almost every Nancy Drew and Trixie Belden book ever written.

Since finding the Twilight series have I begun reading more and more of the fantasy genre. I have the Vampire Chronicles but have had a hard time getting into the second book. But the OCD in me has to read the entire series in order LOL. In the meantime I picked up a book called Need and the sequel, Captivate. These books were written from the perspective of a 16 year old girl and they are definitely written like I am talking to my 15 year old nieces and nephews! The story is cute and the second one left me hanging so I'm sure the OCD will kick in and I will pick up the 3rd when it comes out.

The next book in the pile is by Olivia Goldsmith and couldn't be more different! Ever since the First Wives Club movie came out its been on my favorites list- you gotta love Girl Power! I finally picked up the book and will let you know if its better than the movie.

What books are on your Have to Read list? I would love to know what you loved so I can check them out!

New CU and a very exciting event!

All Grungy 3 is now available at Designs In Digital and Enchanted Studio Scraps and is discounted through Saturday at both shops!

Now for the really fun stuff!!! The designers at Enchanted Studio Scraps have teamed up to create a fun spin on the old-fashioned blog train! The Facebook Fairy Frolic begins tomorrow. The catch is that you have to be a fan of each designer on the list to get her part of the collab. the links will be sent out 2 a day until the train is done. The links will be sent out as updates- you can see them under your messages options- so they will only be viewable by fans.
