Getting Settled In...

I am finally starting to feel like I am getting settled at Divine. I have about a third of my goodies up and have put up some new overlays as well. I created these a long time ago and have used them many, many times in my kits. With the new shop coming together, I decided its time to share!!

I hope y'all like them as much as I do!! My whole Divine shop is still 40% off until the end of the month!

In the real world, we just celebrated our son's 7th birthday. I don't feel old enough to have a seven year old! July is always super rainy in Florida and it never fails to pour on whatever day we try to have a party for him. We wanted this year to be a little bit special for him because he is still adjusting to not being the only child but the wonky weather limited our options. We decided to have a party at our local roller rink. It was sort of surreal to be at my childhood hangout with my childhood friends and their kids- especially since the place hasn't changed a bit! Seriously, I think its still the same paint and carpet from 15 years ago. And its still just $.75 to rent skates! Of course, I suspect the skates are the same too! Here are some pics from the big day:

B and Grandma dancing- Miss B is proving to be quite the music lover!

This is the face of serious concentration

J was good sport about falling down

My hubs (white shirt) and his brother got in on the fun.

My two guys are so cute! I love them both!

I didn't do skates this time- and I look exactly like I got stuck in a downpour picking up the cake (I did- we got about 6 inches that afternoon and I think I was outside for 5 of them!) so no pics of me will be seeing the light of day. I have to thank my friend Jackie for getting most of the photos from the party! It pays to have girlfriends who take even more photos than you do!

Oh, and when we got home J declared it the best birthday ever! What more can a momma ask for?

What a week!

I don't know about you, but sometimes I feel like a short week just isn't worth it. Don't get me wrong- I love having three day weekends- but I am so behind at work that I am going in tomorrow just to get caught up! But, you don't come here to listen to me whine LOL

My cousin found the coolest photo online, and I just have to share! I love old family photos. Its interesting to see who we come from, I think. This photo is of my Great-Grandfather Clete and the Norwood Fire Dept. I never knew him and I didnt get to spend a lot of time with my Great-Grandmother either so its especially interesting to me.

Grandpa Cletus is under the third door from the left, between the 1st and 2nd window, 2nd row. See the guy wearing his hat with attitude...

Now I know where I get it from ;)

Drumroll please!!!!

I am excited to announce that I am officially a Divine Digital Designer!! My new shop will be 40% off all month long as I get things loaded (discount will show at checkout). Look for some new releases too!!
