FREEBIE--MOO TWO DESIGNS PAINT THE BARN CHALLENGE

Here's an update on why I've not been around much...

My husband, Robert, had a heart attack and a stint inserted in February.....since then they can't get his blood pressure under control and he is having headaches, which we now are certain are med related, so trying to figure out which med it is, and THINK we have figured it out....found a GREAT internist (spent over an hour with us in his office and in the hospital...how rare is that!)....he spent 3 days last week in the hospital with a severe reaction to a new med...oh that was painful!!! Also his blood sugar is way high and he has a sleep apnea we believe....having a sleep study on the 19th, is on meds for migrains (although not sure they are true migrains, it is also for weight control, so hey, that's a plus), and if he doesn't get the blood sugar and weight down he'll go on insulin, which he is refusing at this point, sooooo....wish us luck. I told him to call his sister and ask her about her headaches, because she as them quite often and they could be a heritary thing, as is the BP and sugar.....poor baby, it breaks my heart to see him in such pain every day, so keep those prayers going up!

THANKS so much for your prayers and thoughts, they are soooo much appreciated.

I did get a little time to squeeze in a FREEBIE for you this week. You can download this and several other designers' portions of this month's Paint the Barn Challenge kit.



ENJOY!

CHANGING IVY CHALLENGE

I'm hosting a new challenge... Changing Ivy Challenge and I'd love to have you join in the FUN!!

I don't like getting in a scrapping rut, so this challenge will be different each month and hopefully be fun for everyone. I will incorporate scraplifts, templates, elements, colors, quotes, and everything in between.

For my first challenge, since templates are what I LOVE to make, we will do a template challenge with a twist....adding a splash of color!

In March, use this template...you can twist it, turn it, delete part of it, just use what you like in it and show me how it inspires you, but you must use at least two of the colors shown in the preview.

Stop by, grab the template and join the fun!



And I'll give you this gift for your participation:

LUCK OF THE IRISH IVY TRAIL

Then it would be awesome if you'd come check out our site and participate in our challenges.

MY GIFTS FROM THE LORD



I used the oh sooooo pretty FLUTTERING JEWELS kit by Deliscraps by Min for my LO...available at Moo Two Designs.



I had so much trouble deciding what to use from this kit...HEARTS kit by Deliscraps by Min for my LO...available at MOO TWO DESIGNS.

And if you're in the mood for a quick and easy appetizer that isn't too terrible on the waistline, try this...


We are always going on road trips for food...this weekend we went to La Grange, Texas for some wonderful sausage, the best anywhere! Robert loved having his grandson along to carry on a family tradition...his dad always took him as a child.



I used Deliscraps by Min's CUTE kit...MIN'S CAFE for the last two layouts, available at MOO TWO DESIGNS.

BATTLE OF THE BLINKIES--WEEK 2

It's WEEK 2 of the BATTLE OF THE BLINKIES at Ivy Scraps and I'm home with Strep Throat/Ear Infection/Scarlet Fever, so not feeling too creative, but was bored...doc has me home until Thursday, but I don't feel any better than I did before I started the antibiotics and my throat looks like a Fright Fest...YIKES!!

Anyway, just excuses why I suck at blinkie making, sooooo, I'll take all of the sympathy votes I can get this week...LOL...Voting starts on Friday each week.

Even if you don't vote for me, stop in the Forum and check out the challenges, store, and all of the WONDERFUL ladies there!

SPEED SCRAP COMING TO IVY SCRAPS

Speed Scrapping is coming to Ivy Scraps in March. If you have never attended a Speed Scrap, you are in for a treat.

Here is how it works. You are given a specific time to log in and join the scrap. Every ten minutes you will be given a new instruction for completing your LO. At the end of the hour, you will have one hour to finish up the LO and post it to the gallery. Everyone who uploads in the allotted time will get a participation prize.

We will offer Speed Scraps at different times to try and accommodate as many schedules as possible.

VOTING is posted now to help determine the best times, be sure to put in your opinion.
