The Good and the Bad.




Wow.... I never would have imagined that I could go nearly 5 weeks without posting. My computer has been down and it's been agony :) I have a "computer guy" that usually solves any problems I have quite efficiently but he had to give my laptop over to a specialist and I have NO IDEA what's going on with it, only that it's been 9 days and he's still "waiting for the parts." Since the problem isn't my hard drive, my husband recovered that and has connected it to a temporary computer so I now have the pics to do this post.

Ok that's the bad. The good (for me, anyways) is that I also disappeared for awhile on vacation. It was our first real family holiday so really there was only one place we all wanted to go. Disney World. The kids were sooooo excited and I was pretty thrilled too. I always wanted to go as a kid but it never happened so I enjoyed myself as much as they did! Sorry......gotta post some pics....



You'll notice my son Nathan is missing from this photo. He thought Belle was too beautiful and intimidating to pose with :)





I felt really bad though that I was unable to do my post for Just Tracy's on the 1st. So better late than never........
This months challenge is to create a card/layout/altered item that features a HAT.
You still have time to enter. The contest runs all month. The selected winner will receive $15 to spend at their online store, which is jammed full of the latest products!

I didn't have any images that I was too crazy about with a hat so I grabbed this off a free clip art site....kinda worked around a sketch I saw in PaperCrafts and came up with this card.



Also I like to say a huge thank you to JAN for the great award!!


One last thing.
I'm hosting a great digital software give-away starting in the next couple of days so I hope you'll check back then for all the details!
