Mia... and I am afraid...

It seems like I am always apologizing for being MIA... and I am afraid this missing in action will gone on for a little longer!!!

First up - Hubby got a new job!!!  Whoooo hooooo!!!  It is still with the military (thank heavens!), but it is requiring us to relocate!!!  This has made us very sad as when we built this house six years ago we thought this was where we would grow old.  We never planned to move away from here... but Uncle Sam has a different idea and when called we must go.... so.... we must go!!!

We are being moved to the Atlanta area (UGH!!!)... We spent nine days up there last week trying to find a place to live.  Let me tell you that was a disastrous adventure!  On day three we found a house, signed the lease and low and behold I had forgotten my check book at my friends house so I could pay the deposit.

Well the curve at this house was kind of steep!  And I was concerned about my car being able to go over the driveway.  I was so worried about it - I didn't sleep all night.  So the next morning instead of going to pay the deposit check - hubby and I drove 5 1/2 hours home, switched out the jeep for the car and drove 5 1/2 hours back just to find out the car wouldn't go in the drive without scrapping!!! It was bad!!!  We tried every way you can imagine and I swear it sounded like the oil pan was being ripped out from under the car!!  Thankfully since I had left my check book, we had not paid the deposit and we were able to get out of the lease!!!

Finally after several several more days of searching we finally agreed on this house!!!!

Then we came back and we have been packing every since!!!

Now if moving was stressful and time consuming enough, we have airline tickets for the holidays and since one of our family members is having some health issues we don't want to cancel!!! Plus the tickets are nonrefundable!!! And to add to that, we are also trying to rent out our house!!!

Thus I will probably be MIA for at least a month if not until the end of the year!!!

Hopefully once we get completely moved and settled in I will be back into blogging and business 110% (The new house has a much bigger scrapping area than our house now!!!!)

I will be hit and miss for the next month - but please know I am wishing you all a very Happy Thanksgiving!!!  And please don't give up on me! I will be back!!!

Until Next Time!

Veterans Day...

A day set aside to remember and acknowledge the service, honor, bravery, duty and sacrifice for the greater good.  A day to remember those who have serve, who are serving and those who continue to serve so that we may enjoy the every day freedoms of our lives.

Being a military wife, I am sure you can understand that Veterans Day is very important to me.  So first up I want to say thank you to my husband.  Thank you for your patriotism, your bravery and your loyalty to your country.  Though I don't always understand it, I admire it greatly and know that I and everyone around me has a better life because you feel the call to protect us.

On this Veteran's Day I want to share with you an amazing book that I have discovered.  If you will recall about a year ago I was asked to review a book called "Faith Deployed - Daily Encouragement for Military Wives"  I was truly touched by this book and I have to tell you as a military wife this book has encouraged me over and over again.  (If you are a military wife I can not tell you enough that you NEED to get this book and read it daily!!!)

Well my friend Jocelyn Green has done it again...  This time she has co-written a book called "Battlefields and Blessings" (Stories of Faith and Courage from the war in Iraq and Afghanistan).

Now let me tell you this book isn't just for military families - this is a book is for anyone who is a patriot, it is for anyone who supports our troops, and it is for anyone who wants real first person honest accounts of how God can get you through ANYTHING ANYWHERE! 

While this book is written in the format to be a daily devotional going from day 1 to day 365, I have to tell you the worst thing I found about this book was that I had to have enough discipline not to read ahead or read more than one day at a time.  (Hmmm, maybe God is trying to teach me something even with that?!?)

The honest heartfelt perspectives and stories will touch you. They will remind you that EVEN in the middle of a War, in the middle of tragedy and loneliness, and even when facing your worst fears; God is always present.  He is walking beside you, he is down in the foxhole with you and you are NOT alone.

If the stories and personal recounts were not touching enough, each daily entry is backed up and supported with scripture from the Bible.  And each entry ends with a specific prayer thought, which I have to tell you, prompted me to be a more devoted prayer warrior.

After doing this daily devotional if you are not more proud to be an American, if you are not more touched at the sacrifices that our military make for our daily way of life and if you are not more grounded in your faith and belief in God... well I just don't think you have a heart!

Now while you can purchase this book at Amazon (both in paperback and also for your Kindle!!!) - and I truly think you should (and get a few for gifts while you are at it)... I am super duper excited to tell you that Jocelyn has been so generous that she has sent me a AUTOGRAPHED copy of the book to give away here on my blog!!!! Whooo hooooo!!!

Yep that's right - I have a signed, brand new copy of this book just waiting to be given away to one of you - my faithful blog readers!!!  So if you would like a chance to win this book - just leave me a comment in the comment section of today's post!  I will randomly draw a winner on Monday.

Remember - take time to today to thank a Veteran.  One small act or word of gratitude from you will provide a lifetime of encouragement and support for a military member!

Until Next Time!

MIA...

Yes... once again I have gone MIA....  not on purpose you understand.  It has just been crazy!!!!

First of all - have you heard the VDBC will be putting out the FIRST EVER "Holiday Gift Giving guide"???  Yep!  We all have been hard at work designing and putting together projects that you can give to your friends and family!!!  And as usual - I think I have bitten off more than I can chew!!! (Nothing new there!!!)  Bahahahha!!!

But since I haven't been around in a while - I will give you a sneak peek at one of the items I have designed for this event....

So....  what do you think??? I think it would make a great gift or holiuday decoration!!

Additionally - as you all know since hubby got back from Afghanistan his job was no longer available.  Thus we have been kind of on month to month orders.... Well hubby has an office call tomorrow for a job that would give us a little bit of a more stable life.  So please say a word, a prayer or a good thought that it goes well.  The only down side to this job is that we will have to move - and we both LOVE it here...  But if we have to, well we have to right?!?!  The other catch to that is that it will probably happen FAST.... so I guess we will see!!!

And lastly - please say prayers for my father in law - he will probably kill me when he reads this post - but ehhhh, who cares!!!  LOL  If you will recall last summer I went to AZ to visit for two weeks and ended up staying for two months when they found out he had cancer.  They did surgery then and though that they got it all.  But now it seems that the cancer has returned and as it seems right now the Doctors feel there isn't really anything that they can do about it.  So as I said please pray for him and for hubby's family period.  This is a difficult time for us all.

Ok - I have to get back to the grind.... in addition to finishing up my holiday gift giving designs - I have to head over and VOTE!!!!!  Have you voted yet today?!?!  If not get off your duff and get to it!!

I will try to post as much as I can - but it may be hit and miss as we see how things shake out!!

Until Next Time!

Life is crazy....

I am soooo sorry I have been hit and miss but life has been crazy - as it seems is the norm for everyone.  I know I am not special - and I know God isn't punishing me but man... so many things are coming at me at one time and I am having trouble jugling the glass balls....

Anywho - you don't really care about that now do you?!??!

I wanted to remind you really quick - this is the LAST Week to purchase the Oct Grab Bag!  After this week - you will only be able to purchase the designs at the store at full price - so if you haven't gotten yours yet.....  you better head on over!!!

And speaking of the Oct Grab Bag, check out this way way way cute stuff that some of my customer made using the Beloved Keepsake Designs that are in available in the grab bag!!

How awesome are those?!?!  Did you know that if you share one of your projects that you made using a Beloved Keepsakes design with me  - you get a free BK design of your choice?!?!  Yep - so start sharing those projects!!!

Ok - I am off to finish up my mega huge project!!!  There is something big, no something HUGE coming soon from the VDBC and More Team!  You are not going to want to miss it!!!  TRUST ME!!

Until Next Time!

Back to the Craziness...

Now some people will say that the VDBC anniversary weekend was crazy - but not me!!! Oh not I!!!  Oh no - I had a wonderful time... but now I am back to the craziness called life!!!!

I am in the process of trying to get my butt in gear and get all my cutter designs up in the store!! I have almost 400 designs now and I realized this weekend that there are only about 210 of them are up!!! Now before you think I am just being a COMPLETE slacker - I want to explain that none of my older stuff had SVG's so I am having to go in and convert my files to SVG and I am adding the DXF (for those that have been asking!!!), additionally - I am re-doing the photos and I am re-writing the verbiage!!!  So as you can see - it can take some serious time to get ALL of that done!!!

My goal is to upload at least ten older designs a week - now to see if I can stick to the goal - that is another thing!!!!  Don't forget that at the same time I am trying to get all my older stuff up - I am still trying to get NEW stuff done to...

And if that wasn't enough - I am also trying to expand and get my new product lines up at the Beloved Keepsakes Boutique as well!!!

Ah - no rest for the weary!!

Hope you are all having a GREAT week- I am going to try and get some of the projects that my readers have submitted ready to show you tomorrow! I think you might like to see some of their stuff - and hey it may even inspire you to get into gear!!!  Bahahaha!!

Until Next Time!

And the WINNER(S) Are...

I hope you all had a great time Celebrating the 2nd Anniversary of VDBC and my 1st Birthday being a designer on the "More" team!!!!

Now I know what you are all really waiting for is the winner of this weeks contest - so without further ado.....

The winner of the "Glue Arts" Sticky Prize pack

for participation in the BK's Grand Theft Challenge is:

Well - I'm not going to tell you right away... sheesh.... first I need to tell you I wrote all the entries names on a slip of paper - remember you got one chance for entering, one chance if the page you "lifted" had one of my designs and another entry if your entry used one of my designs as well - so that was up to three chances per entry!!!! 

So I put all the names in a jar -

And I drew out one......

And the WINNER IS:

HEATHER!!!!!

Whoooo hooooo..... congrats Heather!!!!

Now for the second "Glue Arts" Sticky Prize Pack. 

If you will recall I asked a different question every day and asked you to leave a comment in the comment section of this blog to be entered in a second drawing.  So I copied all the comments (we ended up with 77 comment over the three days).

I printed them out in reverse order (So starting with Sunday's comments first) and then I numbered them 1 through 77.

I then went to randomizer.org and I asked the Randomizer to pick a number one through 77.... and the number was #27!!!!

I matched up #27 with the comment number #27 - and the winner is:

Kelly S!!!!!!!!!!

Congrats Kelly!!!!!

I hope you all had a great weekend - and I can't thank you enough for playing and supporting Beloved Keepsakes!!!

Until Next Time!

TIME TO CELEBRATE!!!!

Whooo Hooooo!!! And so it has begun!!!!!  It is the VDBC 2nd Anniversary CELEBRATION!!!!  And boy oh boy do we have some awesome things planned for you!!!  (So be forewarned this is going to be a LONG post - but make sure you go all the way to end - cause there are tons of great things just for YOU!!!)

To start off the celebration - did you know that this is my 1st Birthday of being an "exclusive designer" for VDBC?!?!?!?  Well it is!!!  I have official been on the VDBC and "More" Team for a year now and to celebrate I am offering all my designs to you for 45% off THIS weekend!!!!  That's right ALL my designs (including my collections) are 45% off from now until Midnight Sunday Oct 17th!!!!  So head on over and SAVE!!!

 Next - I am hosting a GRAND THEFT CHALLENGE on the Forum!!!

So here is the rules... To enter this challenge you need to visit the VDBC Gallery and choose someone's layout that you want to "scrap lift"!

Then scrap your lifted layout.

When completed you need to go to THIS VDBC forum thread and post your scrap-lifted layout that you completed along with the layout that you scrap-lifted....

For every entry to the challenge you will receive ONE entry in the drawing for a  "Glue Art’s" Sticky Prize Pack!

If your scrap-lifted layout includes one of my designs you get TWO entries for each layout.

And if the layout you scrap-lifted from has a Beloved Keepsake design you will get THREE entries for that layout!

All layouts MUST BE submitted by midnight Sunday, Oct 17th!!! The winner will be announced on Monday!

Any questions? If so take it up with my thug!!!

Next - I have decided to offer you a free cutter design - well actually THREE free designs!!!  Yep - one for each day of the 2nd Anniversary Celebration!  So here is a peek at today's free design!

I figured since it was the 2nd Anniversary that an anniversary design would be appropriate!  I think this would be super cute on a card front or a scrapbook layout out.  You could also use the bracket in the back for a journaling box or as an accent or even a border!  So lots of multi use available with this one!!!

Now to get this download, first we have to reveal the fine print!!! (I know, I know I hate the fine print too - but unfortunately my mean lawyer says I have to put it on here!!! Bahahaha)

So... here's today's question....  "What topic of cutter files would you like to see in the future?"

That's it - just leave an answer in the comment section and you will be entered to win!!!

Checking in....

I am alive!!!  It amazes me how time gets away from me... I kept meaning to come on here and let you all know where I was and what I was up too - but somehow I was unable to find the time....

So here's the deal - hubby came home on Thursday evening and announced he had a four day weekend!!!!  Whooooo Hooooo!!!  Yep - no mail on Monday for you - meant I got a day to hang with my hubby!!!

So on Friday morning - we loaded up the yaks and headed to the water!!!!!  We spent about 9 hours out on the water on Friday, 10 hours on Saturday and then 7 hours on Sunday! 

Friday and Saturday were pretty much a bust for fishing - but Sunday - FINALLY - I caught my first saltwater trout from my kayak!!!

He was pretty nice in size as well - 

And then on my next cast out - I got this one!  (He was a bit smaller.)

Did you know that saltwater trout have teeth?!?!  And they are sharp!!!  Ah - That was it though I am afraid.  Not much but I have to tell you I was soooo excited to have finally caught something from my boat - man I thought I had lost my fish catching abilities!!!

Then yesterday was my dad's birthday - so hubby and I went to dinner with the parents!  Great times!!!

Now here we are - back at work...  Hope you all had a GREAT weekend as well!  I have some cute stuff to show off to you tomorrow!

Until Next Time!
