Tropical Resort - oooh la la

First of all.. I have seen several people who say how blogger "ate" their post after they'd spent so much time writing, etc and I have to say -- I always felt bad for them, but somewhat happy that it didn't happen to me (you see where I'm going with this, right??). Yes, I have joined the ranks! I had inserted all the links and was just about to hit "publish" when it happened. Do you all feel sad for me (but secretly relieved that it wasn't you?) LOL... ok.. on for the second encore.
Well... just wanted to update you all on my happenings this week (as I know you are all so interested - hee hee)
* I am still just feeling great about doing lots of freebies from my blog!
* I am still feeling great about doing a bit of selling from here as well :)
* I am reallly excited about a new addition to these. What addition you might all be asking. Well... ealier this week I received a message from Grace Bennett (who is currently having a CT call - the details of which can be found here). Anyway, she invited me to join the Element Team over at Elemental Scraps. Which I gladly accepted! So basically I'll be working on monthly collab kits with some other fantastic designers that will be used as prizes to the participants of the monthly challenges. There is LITERALLY a challenge for pretty much anything you can think of! So I *encourage* you all to head over there and check it out. What can be easier than getting freebies just for participating?? oh yeah, I guess comming here and just clicking on the "download" button - LOL. I'll keep everyone updated on this new adventure :)

Let's see... what else had I talked about in the original post (you know.. the one that got eaten?) oh yeah... I also wanted to say that I'm sooooo excited about the SHINES this week! There have been some FABULOUS ones sent to me and I can hardly wait till Friday to showcase them! I'll also say that those of you who have already submitted for this week are going to be pretty happy come Friday (hint: check your inbox for a special surprise!) If you don't want to feel left out on this, you still have 'till tonight (Thursday) to send me a LO using any of my products :)

OK... so on to the freebie. When I started out with this, I had such big dreams for it! But after I got working on it, it just wasn't turning out the way I had envisioned it... so, here it is for your free consumption. You know what I love most about this kit?? it's name - Tropical Resort! Isn't that sooooo fun?!?!! I absolutely LOVE that part of designing... coming up with the names - LOL.
