We had so much fun playing outside with the kids! My 2 year old is such an artist! Only she had more fun painting herself than she did anything else!

It's the last day of the 25% off sale on all Live, Laugh, and Love products. Click here before time runs out.

Wow, what a day. The kids were suprisingly good today during the funeral service. Everytime they would make a peep I would shove a gerber puff in their mouths, lol. They love their puffs! Between my two and my sister's 1 year old, they helped lighten the mood for everybody. Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers for my family.

I am planning an arts and crafts day with the kiddos tomorrow with fingerpaints, paper-bag puppets, play dough, sidewalk chalk, the works! Oh, and I can't forget the bubbles. Afterward we are hitting the pool! I have been working so much lately with all the new things going on with the shop, so I think they deserve it. I will make sure and take pics to share with you all! I hope you all enjoy today's freebie!

The "Live, Laugh & Love" collections are all still 25% off till June 1st. Can you believe it's the end of May already? Click here to go to the shop.

I am having so much fun creating pieces to each of these 3 kits for you all, and I have barely scratched the surface of what's to come! Today's installment is the "A" bragbook page from "Laugh." I will be doing 26 brag-book pages (one for each letter of the alphabet) for each of the 3 kits, "Live" "Laugh" and "Love."

The wake for my grandmother went very well, all things considered. I got a chance to see family that I had not seen in years! The funeral service is tomorrow morning, and I just hope my 2 year old and 7 month old are not too loud during the service! Wish me luck!!!

Check out what's just been added to the shop... The ABC papers for "Live" are here! AND they are 25% off for a limited time! Click the preview to take you to the shop.

Hi everyone! I hope you all had a great Memorial Day weekend, and I hope that you all had lots of barbeque! mmmmmmm.... Can you tell I'm hungry? lol I have pretty big freebie for you all today. When planning for the ABC kits I made up "A" papers for Live, Laugh, and Love. As you all may know, I am creating huge mega-kits that you can use for any scrapbook layouts you want to make rather than just ABC layouts. Instead of just sending all this work to the recycle bin, I am giving them all to you in one huge freebie. Woo-hoo!!! There are 42 papers and 2 overlays included.

First I want to show you all the newest product in the shop that will go great with all of layouts, especially if you plan on making an ABC album from the kit pieces. Right now, for a limited time only, they are 25% off. In fact, the entire Live, Laugh, and Love collections are 25% off until June 1st! Click the preview to see it in the shop.

Happy Memorial Day everyone! Hope you all have fun at your memorial day festivities! I will be trying to make the best of it, as I just found out this morning that my grandmother passed away around 3 in the morning. I don't think it has really set in yet, and you may not remember, but I have lost 2 grandparents now in just over a month. My grandfather passed away peacefully at home right after Easter. They will both be greatly missed, and I know they would be proud of me for following my dreams of owning my own business and doing what I love.

On a happier note, the 50% off everything coupon for blog-readers only is still active for today and will deactivate itself promptly at midnight tonight.

Hi everyone! I know many people were looking forward to the ABC kits, however some people thought the kits were too similar to Digitreats' ABC kits. I want everyone to be happy, so I have decided to create ultra-mega kits from the kits I have started! There will still be enough items in the kits to make ABC albums, but they will also be for any of your digital scrapbooking projects and layouts. Even better for everybody! You will all continue to get your daily freebies and they will be better than ever! I will be taking time tonight to revamp and alter some of my items, but I will be back on tomorrow night with new goodies for you all!

In the meantime... There is only one day left of the 50% off everything sale in the shop for Memorial Day weekend. Use coupon code: blogClick here to check out all the new items in the shop!

Bella Memorie is part of the Creative Team here at Pretty Scrappy. She sent me this email, and I though I would post it here. I'm sure she would appreciate your help in this challenge. Here is the email she sent me:

I need a favor please. My grandmother turned 90 years old on April 8th. We call her Grammy. Unfortunately her health has taken a turn for the worse, and I didn't have an opportunity to make a book for her yet with all of her photos. We didn't think she would make it through last weekend but she did and I feel like I have another opportunity to get this done for her to see and enjoy. I have created a challenge to help me scrap the photos from her party. While some photos are the better of the bunch, the goal is to get all photos (even the boring ones) in the book so all of the people are represented.

Here is a link to the challenge and the requirements:

I have not posted a freebie in a couple days because I have been working up a huge mega kit freebie for you all! I will be giving away pieces each day or couple of days. There will be 3 sets, one for boys, one for girls, and one gender neutral. Look for the new mega-kits coming soon!

As I was thinking of a color scheme for the next daily download I remembered an incident we had with my 2 year old last week. It was time for her to wake up from her nap, so I walked up the stairs and under her door I saw what looked like a little brown ball. As I got closer I realized it was not a ball, it was poo! I thought, Oh no! She had to go potty and didn't make it. So I opened the door and there she is, standing in front of the door with another piece of poo in her hand! She had colored all over her bedroom door with it, and it was on her arms, legs, and hands. I freaked! I didn't know what to do with her. Yuck! And get this... She says "Mommy, stinky colors!" Disgusting, but definitely a funny memory to add to her baby book and show her boyfriends when she grows up, lol! It was all I could not to crack up. I will never look at the color brown the same again.

Thanks for all the happy birthdays, anniversaries, and mothers days! I hope you all had a great mother's day as well! My hubby got me a beautiful necklace, and he helped my 2 year old draw out Happy Mommy's Day in chalk in front of our house. He's such a sweetie.
