This will no doubt be the mother of all catch up posts!
First some news!! Two pieces of tidbits that I am thrilled about.....No...I am not and do not plan on being pregnant...so get that right out of your head. I have landed two more sweet positions on some wonderful sites!!!! The first is a place close to my heart because it allows me to focus on me! It's All About Me Challenge Blog...I proudly will showcase this lovely blinkie! And there is an amazing group of women there, all very supportive and super creative! So I am honored to be among them!!!
Next tidbit is that I am a Tres Chic Girl over at Scrapperie serving on their Digital Inspiration Team!!!! Not only that, but I'm also Scrapper of the Week this week!!!!!! Check out their amazing forum...many challenges in both digital and traditional to choose from!!!
I was recently published in ScrapBook New and Review in their Digital Inspiration secition with a layout I did using Shimelle's kits and templates. You can only see the layout if you subscribe to them, but as a result of my publication I was able to receive a month copy and all I can say is HOLY COW...it's an awesome online magazine full of inspiration, tutorials and just amazing eye candy!
My Scrapbook Resume is starting to gain momentum!!!!!! Very excited for my creativity to re-ignite this way!!!
I'm also proud to be on It Takes All Kinds, and designing as part of Shimelle Laine's Baker's Dozen!!!!
I am loving all the connections being made with all these creative people! The web/blogging world brings so many people together...I love it!!!!
In other news........
Massage has been picking up, and I'm gearing up for my ETSY store to showcase some digital art along side some photo keepsakes. I am also looking forward to working more with a local photographer, putting together some albums for her clients. Charming Birdie Photocraft is up and running and I'm looking forward to some future photo shoots! So many cool and creative things in the works. Lost in Serendipity is a new concept blog that showcases unique people, places and things that I come across in life. I hope to have interviews and pictures to tie in with Charming Birdie.
