New Release - Baja - Limited Discount Pricing!

Remember when I had the neat little give away at the iNSD chat and when I was the 'Featured Designer' at Plain Digital Wrapper? Well I loved the color palette so much that I ended up creating an entire kit from it!  I released "Baja" yesterday at my Plain Digital Wrapper Shoppe and it will be on sale for 42% off of the retail pricing through Sunday night!

If you missed the Baja goodies that I gave away during the iNSD chat and my 'Featured Designer' spot at PDW, never fear - I have compiled them into a Baja Add On Bundle and have them also for sale at a 33% discount in the shoppe!  I've also got a set of clusters that aren't in the shoppe YET but you can get them here for FREE before anyone else!

So grab the download link for the clusters below - and I promise you, you'll want the rest of the kit!

I'm Sorry...this offer has expired - check this blog often for future freebies!!!

Crazy? Who's Crazy?? Not me....lol

Well I was so excited about my Featured Designer spot at Plain Digital Wrapper that I jumped the gun by a week lol...so read the post below (dated May 23rd) to see what goody I have for you to download!

A little Baja to get you through the day

 

So, I'm the Featured Designer this week at Plain Digital Wrapper and in honor of that, as well as a vain attempt at combating all of this freaky rain we're having, I've got a paper add on freebie for you :)

Baja will be a full kit (and then some) that will be coming out soon, but here's a taste of whats to come!

New Twist on an "Old" Standard

We're all familiar with the traditional Jack O' Lanterns that you see all over during the Halloween season - but I've come to look forward to the interesting twist that one local Beauty Salon puts on an old favorite.

Gals and Guys Salon in Grafton, MA has a contest every year for their staff to decorate pumpkins for the clientele to vote on their favorite. Prizes differ every year, but I've seen that the staff there really let their creativity flow. They don't limit how they decorate the pumpkins and this year was no exception. I apologize because for some reason, my point & shoot camera really didn't work well - if there was even a hint of a tremor in my hand, the photo came out blurry. I guess I might have to start carrying around the canon (riiiight...that's a bag and a half!).

Without further ado - here are the photos I took. There were 8 entries this year, but unfortunately one of them was not available when I went to the salon. Apparently it had started to rot lol.

Aren't these too cute? Makes me want to head out to my local supermarket or farm stand and see if I can't turn out something half as good :)

Something really cute

Anyone who knows me well knows that the word "cute" doesn't usually exit my mouth for any reason. It's just not a term I've ever been fond of - no reason in particular, it just "is".

Anyhow I was in Target this week for a plastic container to hold cereal in, and as it usually does, I find all sorts of other things that I have to have. This was THE thing this time:



(The photo was taken with my cell phone in my office at work - I thought it would be a nice, simple decoration for the holiday.)

Target had a whole slew of these banks all dolled up as different Halloween costumes - you can see their complete collection here. They're $8.00 a piece but if you're looking for something unique, I think they're, well, cute.

I did also see some that were done up with tiara's which I thought might be neat as a birthday present for a girl (maybe with some money in the bank to "start them off"), but I can't find any examples on the store's website to show off.

How do YOU decorate for Halloween at home? In the office?
