13 In Guest Designer/ Jack

Some exciting things!

Hi everyone!
I hope your Tuesday is going well! First things first – please be sure to see the post below this one to check out the Round 4 prizes for the Cards for Kids card drive. SO many goodies to be had – all for just being a part of a wonderful cause! A pretty win-win situation, don’t ya think? :-D

I am just a little over 37 weeks now! Only 12 days (or less) to go until we meet our little guy! We’re all SUPER excited. I’m trying to tie up a bunch of loose ends before the end of the week. Hoping I can get done everything I want to before then so that I can REALLY relax and take it easy before he comes. We shall see! I can’t believe I’m about to be a Mama to a little BOY soon! Yay! :-D Here are some pictures I took just a few days ago:

 
Another exciting thing is that a couple months ago I was asked by the super sweet folks at A Muse Stamps to be their guest designer for the month of October. I was SO honored and had SO much fun creating with their awesome stamps, papers, ribbon and other goodies! You can check out the first day of my guest designer projects HERE (just please disregard the goofy photo of myself – I could NOT for the life of me get a good head shot and let’s just say the sweet shirt they sent me barely fit over my preggo belly). Heehee! ;) Here is one of the cards I created:
There are LOTS more cards and a couple of scrapbook pages that I created too, so be sure to check it out throughout the month! SO much fun to be had and I just love that company and its people. Super sweet. Than you, Linda for the opportunity! :-D 
Well, off of here I go to get some things done! Lots on my to-do list! Have a beautiful, blessed day! Hugs!

    Just a word about a site that I have been following because I found it on your page…Leslie Granger. I actually was the ONLY person who signed to win a blog designed by her. She mentioned that I won it in a post, and I tried unsuccessfully to get her to follow up with that giveaway, and she just deleted all of the blog entries that mentioned the giveaway.(?!) Kind of bummed, because it was the very first time that I won something on someone's blog (after entering every giveaway I have come across!)and I am currently taking your blog design class, and would have loved to actually receive it. I actually think she is very talented. So, anyway…thought you might want to know that something associated with your blog had this kind of unprofessional treatment of followers. Thanks, and good luck with your labor/delivery. Thanks. Jamie at jamieh@whitemtns.com

    Hi Jamie,

    I contacted Lesley regarding what you had said and she is taking care of it. Looks like it was a bit of a mix up? Thanks for letting me know though. I hope you have a great day! Hugs!

    @shaner82 I have emailed you twice regarding the giveaway but didn't hear back from you. You should have the files. So you can enjoy the giveaway now. Thanks

    Thanks…I never received any emails, but I have the files now. I left 2 comments on 2 different posts and never had a reply (like you and she did above) and didn't know what to do. Sorry to involve you, but I was frustrated and didn't understand what was going on. This blog stuff is brand new to me!(Hence the great class I am currently taking!) Thanks again. Shaner82

    I tried to get in touch with you but never got any response. The first time I heard back was the negative comments left on my blog and other blogs. I sent you 3 emails plus I left you a 2 comments on your blog to let you know I had the giveaway for you. Please don't leave comments that are untrue. Thank you!

    I found the e-mails in the spam folder, and I started my blog 2 years ago right before my husband had a stroke, and never looked at it again. I want to start again, fresh, which is why I am taking the blog class. So, sorry. I definately wanted that design, and when I left comments asking about it in your comments sections, I kept checking back, and nothing. Then the posts were deleted. AND the only blog I left a comment on was this one, and ONLY because you turned off the comments. I am very sorry, but I merely wanted to get the blog design because I was excited to have it, and thought that Kristina could maybe contact you (which she did). If I thought you weren't talented, I wouldn't have cared if I had the design or not. AND the ONLY comments I left you were positive and asking nicely how to get the design, if you remember. Thank you!
