this? Holy moly!!!!!! What a chance to GO FOR IT!!!! And design for one of these bestest designers out there!!!!!!! Okay, I am sooooo stoked to see tons of cuute pages for this awesome call!!!! Gosh....you seriously have to try out because us "DDE girleees" are just the funnest! LOL Seriously, slumber scrap parties, chit chatting about cute guys (LOL), scrapping our little lives away and sooo much chit chatting...really the DDE chit chat inbox always gets sooo full, it is just a BLAST! You HAVE to TRY OUT for this! Gina is just the sweeeetest thing in the world and I am one who is just tickled pink to be on her team! She has become such a dear friend as all the DDE girls have as well, so definitely give it a go!!!!! You can post your pages in this gallery and I soooo can't wait to comment on all these cuuuuties!
Okay too isn't Gina the best doodler? LOL Really this lil cutie is just adoreable!!!!!!! I think the girls that are chosen should order coffee cups from here with this lil sweetie on it titled "I was a Guest CT Girl"! :) Really!!!!! My lil sweetie above that Sweeeeet Mindy made for me is on my favorite coffee cup! I'll have to get a picture of that! Every morning my Starbucks goes into that mug! :)
Okay can I vent a tad about my day? LOL Really I rarely vent! But today two things broke! My car brakes (front ones) and my printer! LOL Well our baby Matthew broke my printer because I left it out! My fault! LOL Sooooooo, my sweeet hubby took my car in today and got the brakes fixed! The Ford dealership were pretty cool and since the last check they should have replaced a few things, they knocked a few hundred off. Whew! LOL
Then sweet baby Matthew-our lil tiger monster-LOL-broke my printer! I called around to the printer doctors in the area and it would have been $50+ to fix. Okay my printer was $200 a few years ago. And I only use it to print small stuff. So after we were out and about today, we stopped at Costco for some hot dogs for the kids. And then we looked at printers and I accidentally saw an ex boyfriend of mine and let me just say how terribly awkward that was! LOL Okay back to the printer, I found one!!!! LOL And at a steal..and at this price I can replace it in a year or so if baby Matthew figures out how to get to it and break it! LOL No really this is going in the closet until the Shabby Hubby can build me a sweet shabby cabinet to hold it in and lock it so the kiddies can't get to it! :) What a project!!!!!!! Really my dh had a good laugh at the exboyfriend thing and of course is the studdliest man around! LOL I am sooo glad and blessed I got this hunky dude all to myself! :)
So this is the printer I got!!!! Pretty neat and looks like our Ibooks! LOL Shabby white too! TEE HEE!
Okay so whew..the kiddies are now in bed and I am happily reading everyone's bloggies tonight! LOL In bed! :) Looooove Ibooks! :)
Have a wonderful night sweeties!

See-this is why I always check your shabby blog! Even when you "vent" you are so sweet and uplifting!! Don't you love husbands who buy you new stuff when old stuff gets broken even when it's most likely your fault (yes, speaking from experience here...)?

So nice you got to get a nice new printer. Isn't it great how inexpensive they are now and such better quality every day. Now if they could just get the ink prices down aLOT. LOL I got the email from Gina about her contest. I would love to be able to do that someday. And her doodels are great. I hope she offers some of them up soon!! She has been cranking out some great stuff lately and I have been in shopping heaven!

That was venting??? WOW - you are a great venter! Glad you got your brakes fixed and a new printer! I bet that was totally awkward to see the X. I have not seen mine in years and I know it would be wierd b/c we totally live different lives now! I too am so blessed to be where I am in life

Oh I hear you about wrecking things...Caleb is a dare-devil house wrecker and I'd get mad at himif he just wasn't so stinkin' cute! Those little charmers we have! Alaina broke my camera last year (but secretly I didn't mind because I got to get a new one =) So, if you need anymore new stuff, just leave it out and I am sure Matthew can help you out! =) Happy day... Oh, wait, had to comment on the ex boyfriend thing. I've replayed tha scenario in my head hundreds of times since I've been married. I have NO idea what I'd do...how awkward. Glad you have your hunk!

Very nice printer! Love the medicine cabinets too! So glad to see others that love the shabby look also- not so popular in my neck of the woods! My DH and DS brought in a "distressed coffee table " and said they could not believe I bought such junk! hmm- I love it!!!!! LOL - anyway- in your post "Amazing Friends" from october 2005 - love the rose swag & wish I had a real one to put on my walls. Is it from any digital kit out there? wish - Thanks a bunch- Lisa
