It’s not too late!

For those of you who were interested in the MyPicTales offer I mentioned here, the offer has been extended. You now have until September 7th to get in your $10 order to get the $100 in free prints! Yay!

Oh, and how did I not blog about this earlier?!? I am now on the Bella Scraps Magazine team! I will be doing one hybrid every month and write an article/tutorial to go along with it! Very exciting! :) I’m working on a Halloween project right now. I love Halloween!!

I got my Bamboo Fun tablet a few days ago! I LOVE it. It took me about a day to get used to, but I can already tell that it puts far less strain on my wrist and the pain is starting to go away. It’s a really awesome toy. ;) Did you notice my siggy? It’s fun being able to write with it! I need to figure out how to adjust my sensitivity settings in PSE though because it’s a little shaky. I couldn’t believe that it came with PSE 5 and a few other programs. It was a great deal. I love PSE 5 and I have no interest in upgrading to PSE 6…. but I heard that now PSE 7 is out! I wonder if I’d like it better than PSE 5. Anyways, I’m going to be giving the software to a friend who is interested in learning digi. ;)

Ribbit! Ribbit!

Wooohoo! There’s an awesome sale at The Lilypad this weekend! I LOVE TLP goodies! They help feed my stringy and felty addiction. LOL! My fave designers there are Natalie Braxton and Kate Hadfield, but really everyone there is fabulous! And I’m so excited to see Kaye Winiecki join the store! She has fabulous felt as well. Anyways, everything is 30% off and retiring products are 50% off! If you spend $15 you’ll get a free kit, too! Just wanted to tell you! I’m off to shop! YAY!

ETA: OMGosh! Make sure you double check the coupons that came with your MSA Birthday Kit! There’s a 40% off a $10 purchase to Kate’s store in there… I got Sock Monkey Madness, 2 paper packs, and her doodled buttons all for under $7 after the sale and the coupon!!

Sorry, you can skip all this!

Sorry, nothing all that interesting today! Just catching up on my SSD sweet rewards points and doing all my FOBTY posts at once!

Here’s the one for today! I’m a pretty good speller… I can’t believe I actually got one wrong. I’m pretty anal about grammar and spelling.


Your Common Spelling Mistake Score: 95% Correct


Your spelling is excellent.

FOBTY 8/21… another quiz! Woohoo! I’d say this is fairly accurate. Except the brain part…. lol


You Were the All American Kid


Popular but not plastic. Athletic but not a jock. Smart but not a brain.

You were well rounded and well liked in high school.

What the heck?!

This is soooo wrong! FOBTY 8/14 What accent do you have?

What American accent do you have?
Your Result: North Central

“North Central” is what professional linguists call the Minnesota accent. If you saw “Fargo” you probably didn’t think the characters sounded very out of the ordinary. Outsiders probably mistake you for a Canadian a lot.

The Midland
Boston
The Inland North

I promise, I do NOT have a Minnesotan accent. I have the classic Western accent. Not sure what I answered wrong to get this. lol
