And I got the new Rascall Flatts CD and the new Carrie Underwood, 2 of my absolute favs!!!

Now they are taking me out to brunch, yummo! Then we have a bday party to head to this afternoon for Nick and Grace!

It’s been so much fun workin w/ the team, they are all the sweetest and great scrappers to boot! And the dares have really helped inspire some great scrapping…..i really need a kick in the pants sometimes, since I’m usually designing and not scrapping nearly enough anymore!
This week is Dare #44 dreamed up by Brittany Farrer…. here are the details:
Digi-Dare #44
This week I am daring you to face your darkest enemy: fashion!
UNFASHIONABLY YOU: C’mon, be honest. What do you wear, do to your hair, etc., that is just a fashion faux paux? Do you wear your jammies and fuzzy slippers when you drop your kids off at school? Is there a scrunchie that you’ve had (and use regularly) since 1984 that you can’t let go of? Has it been 10 years since you bought a new pair of jeans? Do you still dress like a Spice Girl? Have you been hooked on the ‘Rachel’ haircut since 1995?
DARE FLAIR:
-Use one picture multiple times
-Be brutally honest (c’mon…you know you want to…)
-Have a smile on your face as you complete the LO (we’ll use the honor system for this one)
-Use a ribbon somewhere on your LO
—————
FUN right?!?!?!? Then go over to www.thedigidares.com come and come play!
***Each week you can win $40 worth of coupons/digi goodies for playing!!!***
