SePtEmBeR UpDaTe!!!

Hi everyone :) Wow September just flew by, here’s my monthly wrap-up:

• My good friend Cindy has started an awesome new new group called Christian Crafts and guess what? I’ve been asked to design for them! I’m so excited and happy to be a part of this new team. Christian Crafters is an awesome group where we can use our God-given gifts, to show our gratitude to the One who gave them to us! So, whether you're a scrapper (paper or digital), poet, mixed media designer, jewelry-designer...whatever you love to do, come on over ~ we would love to have you. We have great challenges, prayer requests, daily chats and more! See you there :)

• My summer design team term at Butterfly Crafts has come to an end. I had so much fun designing with such a great group of ladies.
• Pay It Forward packages are wrapped up and ready to be mailed out. Renea, Lola, Katherine, Lynnette and Beth: be on the lookout ladies!
• My Book of Me “What’s in my fridge” challenge #1 is up at Jean’s Art Dolls, you still have until 10/15 to post your layout! Here’s my layout that I did for the challenge:
• School started on the September 9th for my boys and so far they are both doing good in school and getting back into the regular routine of things. I had a problem with the after-school program, so Max wasn’t able to start until 9/21 but it all worked out well, praise God! Here’s Max on his first day of school, getting a picture of Michael is next to impossible LOL:
  
• This past Saturday I attended my first crop! Meetup.com NYC Scrapbooking Group had its annual Scrap Pink Crop for Cancer. We had a full day of cropping, yummy food, scrappy goodie shopping, and proceeds went to cancer research! I had a great time and the best part was getting to meet three of my scrapbook.com friends! These girls are super sweet and beautiful:
  

Okay, that’s enough from me for today. Have a great week and happy scrapping!

September already???

Wow, it's the first day of September. I can't believe it!!! I'm so relieved that we're finally getting some cool weather, it's so comfortable at night with the nice cool breeze. Only 8 more days until the 1st day of school. My boys are excited to go back and I know it's gonna be real hard to get them up in the morning.

I received my warehouse sale package from Sassafras last week. They sure did cram that box full of so much goodies, I'm in heaven LOL I really need to put a stop to scrapbook spending but I really want the new Monstrosity line, how adorable are those cute little monsters???

Well on the scrapping front, I've been very busy trying to get a lot of projects done. I did get 2 of my "pay it forward" items completed and I just have to put the other 3 together. I'm super excited for all the girls to see them!

Butterfly Crafts has a great new challenge up today, come on over and check it out. I'm currently working on my DT layout for the 9/15 challenge and it's a really great one. They are also looking for new design team members so if you're interested all the details are on the blog.

Also, I wanted to remind you all that I have a new Book of Me challenge that will be starting on 9/14 over at JADS! I have a little sneak peak here for you, it's gonna be a fun one. There's also so many great challenges that are going to be starting this month, I'd love to see you there.

And finally, I want to let everyone who's blog I follow that I'm so sorry that I don't get to leave as many comments as I used to. There's just not enough time in the day. But I do check them out when I get a chance and they are all so very inspiring!

Hugs,
