Choo Choo!

After more than two months it's a wonder I even remember how to post here!! It's been a lightning fast summer and the kiddos have already been back in school for a week! Crazy how life moves forward even when I don't post. It was actually nice to take the summer off from blogging (although it's not like I had been blogging much before summer hit). I can only do so many things and that was one that took a back seat while we spent the summer playing, traveling, and working. I've got a lot to write about and may even be able to find a few pics to share ... soon (whatever that means, right?). For now you get to jump on a fabulous blog train!!
ScrapMatters is celebrating their second birthday this weekend with a FABULOUS party!! Everything you can imagine will take place - this blog train, of course, games, a chat, prizes, lots of speed scraps, and a storewide sale!!! You don't want to miss out on any of it ;) There is a fantastic MEGA collab kit that has been put together by the design team, and a complete party pack from the hybrid designers! The kit is yours FREE with a single $15 purchase, and you'll receive the party pack in addition to the kit with a single purchase of $20! Here are the previews:
I will be hosting my first speed scrap EVER on Saturday morning ... 11:00 A.M Eastern Time (that's 8:00 A.M. for me!) and I am so excited! Just look at the amazing participation prize you will earn just for playing along ....
There is a ton of information about all the happenings this weekend in the FORUM ... make sure to check it out so you don't miss any of the fun!

Now onto the blog train ... You get a double delight here because I am also posting a freebie for Monique! Here is what she came up with (the image is linked):

Isn't it great? I decided to create a quick page for you!! (image is linked):

I sure hope you like your goodies! I love the summer - it is filled with memories of family. When I was growing up we would travel by car to Utah to visit grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins. Now that we have a family of our own we are starting to do the same thing!! We have made that drive the last 2 summers and have watched our own children enjoy the magic that family has to offer.

Well, it's time for you to move along the train ... You should have arrived from Christy's blog and you will now make your way to Cristina's blog! If you happen to get lost along your way (there are 37 stops all together) you will be able to find a complete list in the forum or on the team blog! Thanks again for stopping by :)
