iNSD p&co blog hop

we're celebrating iNSD! time for all us crazy, fun & lovable scrapbookers to celebrate with a blog hop & awesome sales! we have a fun one today at P&Co too. Check out this awesome kit you can pick up when you complete the blog hop & enter the secret code in the shop...

yep, you can say it... AWESOME!!! so lucky I get to create with THE BEST designers around... & lucky you to get this kit for free :) {you'll get more on that soon} but first...

check out some of these websites for some amazing eye candy. I'm not really that great at the tutorials that the rest of the girls are giving you, but I do pretty good at finding websites that are drool worthy if you're a design lover ;)

so, if you're into photography {or even if you're not} you have to check out the blog Seventy Tree. Makes me want to pull out my camera & create a composition in photo form of fun everyday stuff with my kids or just things around my house. a.maz.ing. really. makes me want to become a better photographer.

into project life with a side of fonts? I came across Design Editor a while back & love to see how different people aproach this project. I love her simple & clean approach. Makes me feel like I could really do it myself. She has some really kick arse font suggestions too. You know how designers love a good font...

& for a few great sites that combine inspiration for illustration, design, pattern, fonts & color? I could literally spend days on Super Swoon. It's just... swoon worthy. for real. just check it out, you'll see. I became aware of the print & pattern blog when I was taking an online pattern course about a year ago. I am obsessed with illustration & am always striving for more inspiration as I continue to build my style. So much goodness in one place.

I hope this gave you a few more places to check out that you'll love & have you pinning away very soon :)

now. on to business at hand...

want to know what's happening at P&Co for iNSD this year? here's the lowdown...

for iNSD celebrations, I wanted to offer you a little extra in addition to what the store is offering, just for my shop...

here's another sweet little goodie for you...if you place an order for prints at Persnickety Prints SATURDAY you'll get a free 5x7" print of this word art that I designed for Mother's Day. How cool is that? They really are the best out there. I was honored to be able to meet Chari {the boss lady at Persnickety} at the P&Co retreat & I can tell you honestly, that girl is passionate about her printing!

now... if you want to get the collab More or Less for FREE, here's what you'll need

featured designer week

hey everyone! sorry it's been so long! time's been flying by me way to quickly it seems. guess that's always the case, huh?

I used all the new kits on my layout to document my favorite things to do... it's one of my best days when I get the chance. Just hanging out at Target, hitting up the Starbucks there & browsing around all the eye candy, trying on clothes, getting ideas, dreaming. What's you're favorite thing to do if you get the chance to have some time by yourself?

I've been busy preparing some new things for the shop between doing some other projects & taking care of a sick kid over the weekend. Seems the stomach bug is jumping from kid to kid at school right now. We've been pretty much healthy all winter & it's suddenly hit us, as Lydia was sick about a week ago & Evan over the weekend. I'm going crazy with hand washing orders & spraying Lysol everywhere diligently. Praying that no one else gets it here. I'm supposed to be heading to Utah later this week to meet up with some of my Pixels & Co peeps, so I'm selfishly really hoping I don't get sick too!

Hope you like the new stuff & the chance to get anything you want on sale this week! Look for some more new goodies at the end of the week :)

new at the Company 4.12

well, it's nearly the middle of April... a few days ago we were having 70ish degree weather... today? with the wind chill it's the mid 30s. ugh. oh well, guess spring will arrive sometime {I hope}. I have some new kits in the shop today. I've had fun doing a few different things & I hope you like them too!

you know I love making the Snippets. Love their versatility to use with about anything... & I have a weakness for different sayings. I've collected quotes for a long time, which served me well when I used to do calligraphy a lot. I also love making Project Life type things for you all {since I can never seem to get it together myself} but I do very much enjoy looking at all the great stuff you create :) Remember these are 30% off through Sunday! enjoy :)

by {becca dickson} see? the weather! crazy, but aren't they cute?

by {me} sorry if that photo is tmi.{& the story below really has nothing to do with my new releases}

...and so begins my rambling

for anyone that's known me over the last few years you know I've been doing weight watchers, I reached my goal weight & became a lifetime member & have kept that weight off for over a year. It's been a struggle. I've been in the process of shopping for swim suits & started taking a few shots from my phone so I could ponder my choices {I know, weird}. But in the process, I found myself berating this & that. Seeing everything wrong. But then, I saw a pic my son took of me last summer. Although I've not really lost any more weight {within 5 pounds} I noticed the differences in my stomach in the 9 months since that picture. I could tell my stomach muscles have toned & pulled in tighter. It made me realize the things I'm doing everyday ARE making a change. There are many days I'm still not happy with my body {I am a woman after all}, but I try my very best to see the positive things. I know I've worked hrd & will continue to work hard for what my body is right now & I'm proud of where I'm at. I always think there is room for improvement & so now I'm really focused not so much on losing any more weight but exercising to make my body better that way. I have to confess, I really did not do exercise while I was losing the weight. I focused a LOT on my diet & it felt to me that was all I could handle at the time. That was fine, but now I feel like I'm really seeing things changing even more for the better. I used to HATE to exercise. Some types of exercise I still hate to do, but I have my trusty treadmill & my headphones hooked to my iPhone & my Kindle with a book & for 45 minutes to an hour almost every.single.day I just get lost in it. Sometimes I just walk, sometimes I run & walk, just depends how I'm feeling. But I do it. I'm hooked. If I don't get to it I feel a little lost. It really is an escape. Something I know I'm doing for myself & no one else. Ok. enough of my babble. Anyway... I guess what I'm saying is just begin. You won't be sorry. Even the little changes really are changing you :)

Our kids are finally out for their Easter break {they had to make up a snow day yesterday} & the weather is looking up! Hopefully that means we can squeeze in a egg hunt this weekend. We always host my family Easter {& Dan's if they are able to make the trips back}, so tomorrow we'll have the family for lunch. Then Sunday we'll attend our Easter mass with the family & hopefully do some relaxing the rest of the day. Do you celebrate Easter? If so, do you get to spend it with your family? Regardless, here's hoping you have an enjoyable weekend!
