I am *almost* speechless.

So, the plan at Brownie scraps was to take the month of February off for Collabs, so that we could get ahead for march ( which is already looking great by the way ). So last night, Ramona called a designer meeting. And the purpose for this meeting, was to unveil to me what had really been going on ( they are sneaky i tell you! ) They did a collab behind my back for february, to honor myself, and all the other military familys that sit home, waiting for the day we can welcome our loved ones home. I was completely moved to tears. They also all wrote little letters to me, that just made me feel so good, on a day that i was having such a rough day. I love my Brownie Girls dearly.

Now, the collab has gone into the store, and you can get it for FREE, just by making any purchase in the store today ( for the first 50 customers ***** After making your purchase, watch your emailbox and within 24 hours you will get a coupon in the email, to get the collab for free. more than likely it will be there within an hour, but it will definitely be there within 24 hours.Do NOT put the collab in your cart with your origion purchase, or it will charge full price, please wait for the coupon. thanks!)

I also love that they put 1 perfect yellow ribbon, in with this kit. Here is a layout i did with it as soon as they gave it to me. Ive turned it into a quick page for you. I hope that you love this kit, as much as i do. It was hard to decide which pieces to use, because there are so many awesome ones. I will definitely be making several more layouts with it, and its very versatile, it would do great for non welcome home/military pictures also. I have removed the tittle and text on the quick page



Now, on to the rest of the stuff for today. Timeless, the Collection is finished and in the store! as well as two new templates!! Plus im putting my entire store on sale for 50% off!!! so please come on over and take a look. I have also listed the Album, kit, and Alpha seperately in the store as well, for those of you that do not want the entire collection, but it is a better deal if you get the collection!



I am also leaving the free sampler in the store for 1 more day, if you want to try it before you buy it!

Im still here

Ive been reading the P & PT posted to me today, around the various places i visit, and do want to say thank you. They havent gone unnoticed, and they are appreciated.

Im ok. Or i will be. It will just take time. He was very sweet to me as he was leaving, and that helped. Lucas is also still blissfully unaware, and that helps too. Bri is doing good too, i think she also doesnt realize how long he is going to be gone yet. She seems to think hes just away for the day.

Ive finally gotten up the nerve to research his base, and also research the rumors of wi-fi we had been hearing. and from what ive found it looks like wi-fi is there and up and running, i even found one person make a comment that they were able to play wow on it, so that gives me lots of hope that communications will be much better than we had hoped for, and will help this time pass.

Im very tired, and spending lots of time in the bathroom, but i know this is just how my body deals with him leaving, and it was expected. In some ways it is a releif, because i dont have to dread it anymore . its here. now to just get it done with. 122 days and he will hopefully be on his way home. Depending on flights we should have him back the begining of may.

I know he loves me, and the kids. and he knows we love him. I will be hearing from him when he gets to his first airport tonight, and will try and update again soon.

thank you for the understanding, and the well wishes. they do mean a lot to me.

A New year.... lots of new stuff

Well, I think by now most of you know that I have not been looking forward to the new year, and what it is bringing for our family. But regardless, a new year it is. And I have a brand new kit for you, as well as some truly awesome sales!
