Loving and Caring Mom....shows off a new product!

NOT! all the time... there are some things I don't want to share :-).

When the bugs were little, they used to take a few sips of my Starbucks Drink - when it got out of control I had to get them their own!

The bugs LOVE to sit in MY chair... the chair my Mommy and Daddy bout for me when I became a teacher, long before the bugs were born. Even Anthony can't sit in MY chair (it was before we were married too!)

And now the bugs have gone too far... they like Funnel Cake - I am doomed to have to share my precious, delicious once - a - year - treat! Oh the horror!

Lauren and Megan are following in my footsteps - they wer gobbling the funnel cake as fast as I was this past year! Next year I'm going to make them get their own - don't worry!

So I suppose you are wndering about the New Product... They are Journaling Pockets! Check them out... he perfect place to put hidden journaling:

So when you want to create an interactive page or just hide the fact your a less than giving mother ;-) - 1 Creative Bug's NEW journaling pockets are for YOU! They are available in a RAINBOW of colors and I can custom cut them to coordinate with whatever project you are working on... at just $0.25 each you can't go wrong!

Tune in next week for another great idea using the journaling pockets...

Contest Fun!

I recently did some personal scrapping in order to enter a contest sponsored by KISS Scrapbooking.

It felt good! Here is a layout I created with the kit called Sweet Memories

It is a field trip we took with our Cousins to Mission San Juan Capistrano - Great day !

If you are looking for some fun kits (besided the 1

Creative Bug Quick Kits) - check out KISS!

The BEST birthday gift - EVER!

Yesterday was my birthday... For weeks before and after I make a big deal over my birthday. It really is exciting, and I love being alive. I don't get many gifts - and that really is ok because 5 years ago I made a deal with Anthony that he didn't have to buy me birthday, anniversary, mother's day, christmas or any other gifts - I wanted to stay home and raise/homeschool our children. My Amazing husband agreed - and some times he has broken his agreement and gotten me a little somehing, but, he really gives me a gift every day when he is the one to troop off to work. - Thanks Hunny for the BEST birthday gift EVER!

Here is a layout of the Bugs and I in 2008, cherishing one of those GIFT FILLED days...

Let's get started with one of the New Releases... February's Kit of the Month:

Love is in the Air

I know, a few of you got to see this kit at the January 10-10-10 crop, but not all 1 Creative Bug fans were so lucky! So her it is the February Quick Kit, priced at just $7.00 you can Git It Done! (the scrapping that is!)

Another great kit in the 1 Creative Bug inventory I'd like to highlight is the You Re Loved Kit - Now at it's new low price of just $7.00 it too will help you Git It Done!

The kit comes as seen above - the white photo blocks in the bottom picture are simply to show you my suggested layout.

Alrighty Blog Readers... that's all for today, but check back all week for more Creative Ideas, Tips and Tricks for Gittin' your Scrappin' Done!

I'll also let you know about the Crops for this month... I believe there ARE seats available for the American Heart Association Event! You don't want to miss this one!

Home Grown

I think this is my favorite layout Shannon did for her Scrappin Sports and More CHA papers... These pictures are painted vegetables and stuff - I think at her local Fair. My kids would go CRAZY over something as cool as this!

This layout has more 1 Creative Bug custom stuff--- see the barbed wire? Cute isn't it. Shannon dreams it and I create it - what a team!

Stickles - I just can't say enough!

You HAVE to get some of these - if you are a local 1 Creative Bug customer I have them every month at my crops- if you are "out there" check your local scrap store

- or email me and I'll help ya!

But, seriously - if you have not tried them - Please make it a point to! Shannon used Stickles on the 1 Creative Bug "mouse ears" - it gives them just the right POP.
