we drove our way out of it. we were in the WV, VA, MD area when it hit and started as rain. woke up in the morning and it was really cold and getting colder. I was just glad to not be there for any longer.

Jess injured herself this weekend, too. must have been the phase of the moon

Way to be strong! Congrats on your new life!

I like the changes so far that I see on my computer but I am here just as often from my phone. It would be cool if there could be some changes to how things work on the phone. It's difficult to go from the message board to the gallery or to the store and likewise from the other places back to the me...

how cool!

congrats! I had missed it! so excited for you!

I made this card for my husband. And the kids made Tootsie Pop Superheroes for their classmates. They are so cute!

ok, you are all going to think I'm crazy. I don't buy anything special for inking - I use whatever ink pads come in the colors I want. If I need to do something special I used Q-tips, cotton balls, those make up triangle foam thingies, and baby wipes. I've probably used tissues, too and maybe an old...

Hope you feel real better soon. I an dragging my sick butt to bed. Need to beat this cold.

For all of you that are struggling, I just want to give you all a big hug!! And I am right there with you. I am nowhere near where I want to be. And this year has started out bumpy.

Oh Rachel, I do think of you lots, and hope that things will start turning around for you and your family.

Thanks Chris. Hope things are good for you, too.

no.

sending out thanks to everyone. It's really hard for me to share unhappy things and even when I do, I try to put a positive spin on them. I know rough times are had by many of us and I didn't want to add to that. I appreciate everyone here so much. Thanks for listening to me!

I think it's nice - so different! It sort of reminds me of when the flowers are first coming on the trees here - it's very dark and drab but the flowers are there to soften up the harshness of winter. I love Kraft colored stuff, too.

I've been holding out. January has been a really tough month and I figured there was no harm anymore in letting you all in on it. Soon after the first of the year my husband lost his job. We both worked and it's essential for him to keep working so that we can make ends meet. We don't qualify for an...

something like that would go for up to $5 at a craft fair

hugs to you!

congrats! here's to a happy and healthy pregnancy

I don't know if anyone saw this. These lines do look cute!

those are cute! and it doesn't make sense to me for all the cool Christmas scrappy stuff to come out before the holiday. It's probably why I scrap a year behind.
