			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&#8230;to give you your fix! </p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>this week I may have coerced a certain designer to do another kit with me:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><a href="http://www.mylittlescraps.com/livewriter/justpeekinginhere_A83B/peeky.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px" border="0" alt="peeky" src="http://www.mylittlescraps.com/livewriter/justpeekinginhere_A83B/peeky_thumb.jpg" width="577" height="156"></a> </p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&#8230;I wonder who it could be&#8230;. <img src='http://mylittlescraps.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>I <em>may</em> have a few other doodads in there, just depending on how my day goes &#8211; but this is the one i&#8217;m sure of and the one you can get a chance to win!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>So leave me a comment, and this week why don&#8217;t you give me one of the reasons it&#8217;s great to be alive (you&#8217;ll see, it works for this kit&#8217;s theme.)&nbsp; (as always, if you link to this post somewhere, post again with another comment to give you an extra chance to win.)</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Enjoy your Friday!</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>This week I have a scoop with my dear friend lauren grier, and I am loving it!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><a href="http://www.sweetshoppedesigns.com/sweetshoppe/product.php?productid=20631&amp;cat=290&amp;page=1"><img style="margin: 0px" border="0" alt="grierclingerman-yougivemebutterflies-preview.jpg" src="http://www.mylittlescraps.com/livewriter/SweeeeeetSaturday_FFB9/grierclingermanyougivemebutterfliespreview.jpg.jpg" width="600" height="600"></a> </p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>As always we had a ton of fun making it, and I hope you&#8217;ll enjoy it too!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>I picked a winner for this scoopie doopie from yesterday&#8217;s comments and Allie you are our big winner!!!</p>
<p><img src="http://my.jetscreenshot.com/1364/20100725-cyrq-6kb.jpg"> </p>
<p>Send me an email Allie to pick up your prize!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>I also managed to get a solo kit finished up- this kit is all about those sugary sweets but not necessarily about sweetiepie girls!&nbsp; Its not super easy to find a candy kit that isn&#8217;t girly (according to my ct member erin) &#8211; so thats where the inspiration for this kit came:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.sweetshoppedesigns.com/sweetshoppe/product.php?productid=20627&amp;cat=290&amp;page=1"><img src="http://www.mylittlescraps.com/previews/sclingerman-nomnomnom-preview.jpg"></a> </p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>and just for fun, here&#8217;s the pictures she showed me as inspiration:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff258/eranslow/072110yumyumyum600.jpg"> </p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>So, of course we have a winner for this one too &#8211; random.org says that will go to comment number 8:</p>
<p><img src="http://my.jetscreenshot.com/1364/20100725-yc5q-7kb.jpg"> </p>
<p>YAY! Congrats Deb!! Email me so I can get that kit to you asap, soooo glad you are excited about it!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Well there you have it!&nbsp; If these little treats look tasty to you, click on the previews to see them in the shoppe &#8211; AND there&#8217;s still a few hours in the day to get 20% off these new releases!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So, this Friday a peek just didn&#8217;t happen, actually nothing whatsoever happened for me in digiscrap world.&nbsp; It was a LOOOONG week, and I just could barely fit any work in edgewise, when it came to Friday afternoon it just appeared quite obvious that I wasn&#8217;t going to get something done for the store in time.&nbsp; So, for the first weekend in almost a year, I just closed the laptop and took the week off.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>It was nice not to stress, but also painful to not have anything up on Saturday morning, needless to say this upcoming week I WILL have a kit up, as a matter of fact I&#8217;ve actually already finished said kit, so I&#8217;m hoping that this will be just the push I need to be a bit ahead of the game so the rest of the summer doesn&#8217;t catch me off guard.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>So, a two weeks ago Friday, I posted the peeks for a few new collaborations I was going to release.&nbsp; Here are the full previews, and if you click you can see them up close in the Shoppe:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.sweetshoppedesigns.com/sweetshoppe/product.php?productid=20543&amp;cat=290&amp;page=1"><img src="http://www.mylittlescraps.com/previews/slagleclingerman-paintedladies-preview.jpg" width="250" height="250"></a> <a href="http://www.sweetshoppedesigns.com/sweetshoppe/product.php?productid=20535&amp;cat=290&amp;page=1"><img src="http://www.mylittlescraps.com/previews/clingermanepperson-independent-preview.jpg" width="250" height="250"></a> </p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>and I picked these two lucky winners:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.mylittlescraps.com/livewriter/PlayingCatchup_A671/20100719_1154.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px" border="0" alt="2010-07-19_11-54" src="http://www.mylittlescraps.com/livewriter/PlayingCatchup_A671/20100719_1154_thumb.jpg" width="168" height="189"></a> <a href="http://www.mylittlescraps.com/livewriter/PlayingCatchup_A671/20100719_1155.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px" border="0" alt="2010-07-19_11-55" src="http://www.mylittlescraps.com/livewriter/PlayingCatchup_A671/20100719_1155_thumb.jpg" width="166" height="186"></a> </p>
<p>Watch your email heathergw and Ana Carol!&nbsp; I&#8217;ll be sending each of you an email to get you your prizes!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The next week (one week ago Friday) I posted a peek for a scoop I had coming out and a few little doodley thingies:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.sweetshoppedesigns.com/sweetshoppe/product.php?productid=20571&amp;cat=290&amp;page=1"><img src="http://www.mylittlescraps.com/previews/clingermanlliella-plentyofsunshine-preview.jpg" width="180" height="180"></a><a href="http://www.sweetshoppedesigns.com/sweetshoppe/product.php?productid=20562&amp;cat=290&amp;page=1"><img src="http://www.mylittlescraps.com/previews/sclingerman-borderbits2-preview.jpg" width="180" height="180"></a><a href="http://www.sweetshoppedesigns.com/sweetshoppe/product.php?productid=20569&amp;cat=290&amp;page=1"><img src="http://www.mylittlescraps.com/previews/sclingerman-swooshysummerwords-preview.jpg" width="180" height="180"></a></p>

<p>Congrats Jenn L (kit), Lita (words), and Amanda!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Fingers crossed that his week I&#8217;ll be back again for reals on friday with a little fix, but here&#8217;s a little mini-peek of what I have ready to go:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.mylittlescraps.com/livewriter/PlayingCatchup_A671/teensypeek.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px" border="0" alt="teensypeek" src="http://www.mylittlescraps.com/livewriter/PlayingCatchup_A671/teensypeek_thumb.jpg" width="400" height="15"></a> </p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>AND also, since I was a bit of a dud about posting these previews and maybe made you miss the 20% off sale, here&#8217;s a second chance to save and because I love you, it is for 25% off anything in my shoppe &#8211; but it&#8217;s good today and tomorrow only, so don&#8217;t dilly dally!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.mylittlescraps.com/livewriter/PlayingCatchup_A671/flakeycoupon.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px" border="0" alt="flakeycoupon" src="http://www.mylittlescraps.com/livewriter/PlayingCatchup_A671/flakeycoupon_thumb.jpg" width="600" height="400"></a> </p>
<p>Well there you have it, I am considering it an act of God that I actually was able to finish this entire post, so before chaos strikes again, I&#8217;m gonna wrap this puppy up!&nbsp; Enjoy your week everyone!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Um&#8230; yeah&#8230; so remember when I said I was run a little ragged last week?&nbsp; Apparently that was a bit of an understatement because here we are to ANOTHER Friday and I have not even posted my winners for last week &#8211; I&#8217;m seriously chasing my tail over here.&nbsp; Between breaking up brother fights, trying to get the kids out of the house and away from the x-box at least a few times a week, and then alllllllll the cleaning &#8211; it is insane, the kids happen to be making like a million more messes with there being no school, so I&#8217;ve had to be a tyrant around here&#8230;.&nbsp; Apparently they all suffer from that special kind of blindness where they can&#8217;t actually see anything after they&#8217;ve dropped it on the floor. Basically it involves me walking them around the house and showing them every single thing that needs picking up (which, fyi, is way more work than just doing it myself!)&#8230;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Seriously, I&#8217;m so complain-y over here.&nbsp; It is unfortunate for all of you that my Friday Fixes all actually fall on Fridays, because now that g has changed jobs he isn&#8217;t home on Fridays. So it&#8217;s just me, here at the end of my rope, pulling my hair out and whining&#8230; and you all have to come here, and read it, just in hopes of winning free stuff! LOL&nbsp; I really LOVE my family, and having 4 boys is a blessing every single day, but lets be honest, it is also a HUGE amount of work!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>This week I still managed to get some work done, a little less than what my average Friday has looked like lately, but goodies I&#8217;m proud of nonetheless! </p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>First up, I have a scoop I did with a fellow SSD designer, and a totally NEW collab partner to me &#8211; it is just so fun to see what we end up with, and this one really does not disappoint.&nbsp; Pretty certain you will love it!</p>
<p><img src="http://www.mylittlescraps.com/previews/peek7-10.jpg"> </p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>I also have a few little element packs I managed to finish up:</p>
<p><img src="http://www.mylittlescraps.com/previews/peek7-10b.jpg"> </p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>SO&#8230; if you want to chance waiting like a WEEK for your prize, leave a little bit of love here in the comments. You can also link this post on facebook and/or twitter and post an additional comment for each link. Or you could always just send me wine&#8230;&nbsp; For each comment and/or bottle of wine you get a chance to win tomorrows&#8217; new kit or one of the new element packs. <em>(speaking of winning, I&#8217;ll post last weeks winners in my post tomorrow with this week&#8217;s wins)</em></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>There you have it, if I hit publish right now I might have a chance of beating the new releases going live LOL, so I guess I&#8217;d better hurry up and post! </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> Well it&#8217;s friday again, believe it or not, I swear I have huge hopes of posting all sorts of things inbetween my product posts, but then what do you know, I run around doing stuff, and then the week is over&#8230; never a dull moment around here.&nbsp; With it being Summer Vacation too, it&#8217;s been more than chaotic.&nbsp; Four boys, in one small house, 24 hours a day 7 days a week is not a good plan &#8211; and I keep trying to take them to do things, but even that is so much work&#8230; I&#8217;m not sure which is the worse of two evils&#8230; anyway, pay&nbsp; no attention to my whining, its friday&#8230;. mommy may be just a little extra ragged today!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>So, miraculously, I still managed to get some product finished.&nbsp; Thank goodness because I swear this creative outlet is one of the things that keeps me sane!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>This week I worked with MandaBean over at the sweet shoppe, I love our kit, and I can&#8217;t wait to show it off &#8211; but for now a peekie will have to do:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.mylittlescraps.com/livewriter/YouwannaSneakaPeekitsFridayFixTime_C558/63peek.png"><img style="margin: 0px" border="0" alt="6-3peek" src="http://www.mylittlescraps.com/livewriter/YouwannaSneakaPeekitsFridayFixTime_C558/63peek_thumb.png" width="520" height="285"></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>I also got to work with one of my amazing ct members, I know you&#8217;ll love this one too:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.mylittlescraps.com/livewriter/YouwannaSneakaPeekitsFridayFixTime_C558/independentpeek.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px" border="0" alt="independentpeek" src="http://www.mylittlescraps.com/livewriter/YouwannaSneakaPeekitsFridayFixTime_C558/independentpeek_thumb.jpg" width="600" height="433"></a> </p>
<p> <img src='http://mylittlescraps.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  this second one is not really your classic 4th of july kit, you will see!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>It&#8217;s that time now, if you want a chance to get one of these great collabs for free leave a comment here, and if you post a link to this post on fbook/twitter/or your blog then come back and leave an additional comment for each time you link, that way you can have an extra chance to win!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Ok, so, I need to go wrangle some monkeys and what not&#8230; Happy Friday everyone!</p>

<p>I mentioned this yesterday, but strong enough really came from my heart this week.&nbsp; It&#8217;s no secret that I struggle pretty seriously with depression, and I&#8217;ve had a few low points in the past several weeks.&nbsp; I decided to make this kit to sort of reinforce for myself that I can make it through even the worst of times, that I have made it through so very much because I really am stronger than I give myself credit for.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>As promised I picked a winner from yesterday&#8217;s comments and here&#8217;s who random.org chose:</p>

<p>Congrats Mandy!&nbsp; Send me an email so I can hook you up with my new kit!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Anyway &#8211; yeah, that&#8217;s what&nbsp; this week&#8217;s new kit.&nbsp; It is 20% off today only in <a href="http://www.sweetshoppedesigns.com/sweetshoppe/home.php?cat=290&amp;sort=date&amp;sort_direction=0">my shoppe</a>, so don&#8217;t miss your chance to save!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well you are in luck because this week I&#8217;m managing to actually get it posted!&nbsp; We&#8217;ve had a nice quiet week this week because my amazing parents took the kids for 3 nights!&nbsp; G is home from work too, being right in between the two jobs, so we spent 2 full days seriously just relaxing, we did some work around the house yesterday but tues and weds we just chilled.&nbsp; We even slept till 9:30 yesterday, I can not even remember the last time we both got to sleep in past nine!</p>
<p>So, yes, I&#8217;m all rested up and ready for the weekend, which is a good thing because tomorrow evening we have 5 buddies coming over to help Gareth celebrate his TENTH birthday.&nbsp; I just am pretty much in shock that here we are at ten!&nbsp; Well the party is a sleepover, and Gareth has already made it clear that he really wanted to make it all about &#8220;Extreme staying up!&#8221;&nbsp; I remember the thrill of staying up till the break of dawn when I was younger so I&#8217;m prepared to be up as long as it takes!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Well even with extreme relaxing and the extreme party planning, not to mention dealing with my extremely old son now, I have a kit all ready to go for you:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.mylittlescraps.com/livewriter/LookingforYourFix_CE9E/peek626.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px" border="0" alt="peek6-26" src="http://www.mylittlescraps.com/livewriter/LookingforYourFix_CE9E/peek626_thumb.jpg" width="508" height="290"></a></p>
<p>This one is probably the opposite of extreme, its soft and neutral and pretty calm. Although, it came from my heart this week, so I guess you could say&nbsp; it is <em>extremely</em> meaningful <img src='http://mylittlescraps.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
