Question of the Day

So as I was walking back through the apartment complex on my way home from work last night, I happen to look up into one of the second-story bedroom windows and someone had a set of stage lights in their room. Like rockstar stage lights. What's that all about?

Thanks for the compliments on my article everyone. = D Did anyone happen to read the "other" article I'd mentioned? The one about Song of Solomon? It's generated some pretty great discussion on the C6M board. Feel free to jump in with any thoughts (even though it's a magazine geared towards men, there are plenty of women who post) or just read what people are saying. I'm loving that Jody's article got such a fantastic response. A phenomenal article will provoke a strong reaction on either side of the fence. And I love that he wrote a completely provocative article while still being completely scriptural. Awesome. And I totally admire his nerve.

And YES - please do send your husbands on over for a look-see at the magazine. There is a great group of guys over there - most of them are very intelligent, very funny, very laid back. And if your husband is so inclined, he can say hi to my guy - his screen name is (ready for this? It's really clever...) ERICK. ; ) Hope they stop in and find a community and articles worth sticking around for.

I just got a request to use one of my LOs in the March issue of SBB's Tid-Bytes. And Ash is writing an excellent article on blogging, which will feature my blog! How cool is that? I'll be making a double appearance. Just a cool little thing for little ol' me. So if you want to purchase the issue, you can pre-order now even! I mean, I'm not saying you're so interested in ME that you should buy the issue. But since it's supposed to be a pretty awesome publication anyway AND I'll be in it TWICE...then maybe March is the month you'll give Tid-Bytes a chance.

And finally, Gina Miller is the featured designer for February at ACOT! She's released an adorable exclusive kit called Soda Shoppe. And check out that price. $5.75 for a kit that includes TWO full alpha sets? That's unheard of. Make sure to pick it up because it's chock full of the cutest little elements.

She's also releasing a reaaaaaaally impressive paper collection that goes on sale TOMORROW. Here's a preview for you (click on it for a closer look):



Don't you love it? I LOVE it. I can't WAIT for it's release! And there will be a chat to launch the collection (which will be available in your choice of a downloadable or mailable cd). Please, please try to come to the chat! She's got freebies and lots of fun planned. You do NOT want to miss out on a chance to win these prizes! Here is the chat info:



SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 18 - 10PM EST - SBB CHATROOM

Anyway, here is my LO using Soda Shoppe. I also used Traci Murphy's tear overlay and the fonts Engravers and CAC Pinafore:


And a couple other LOs I worked on yesterday (personal record for me. 2 LOs completed in one evening).

Oh man! I wish Mom could come. :) Next time, next time!

So like, are we thinking that a rock star lives in the complex? Or perhaps, people are shooting some wacky homemovies up there, if you know what I mean. bwahahahaha!

I read your article! I have to admit, I blushed a bit and I am NOT a prude by any stretch of the imagination. Did I just make myself sound easy on your Blog? Lord help me!
