Wonderful wonderful productive world!

Ok…so thanks to my new little home here in web world I have now found out that there is a whole amazing world of PLUG INS!!! Talk about wow! There are tons and they do all kinds of things…so far…I’ve only installed the ones that help me behind the scenes like seeing statistics and such..but that is definitely not the only thing these plug ins can do! Oh duh…guess there is a few out there you all see :):) Like the lightbox one, that makes my cool little thumbnails blow up so you can see them better (Check out the Scraps Page above to see it in action and an update :)) then of course the forms
one…yep…that is the helpful little email tab up there! I’m working on trying to format the Now reading plug in to work in my new amazing little home! That however is gonna take a bit…I’m not the best on code and I sooooo refuse to muck up this awesome redesigned site!! But I’ll get it..eventually :) Even if I have to ask my little web guru Cynthia for help!! :) oh and see the little green box at the end of the post labeled share this! Click on that an you can share the post with several Social bookmarking sites like these:


del.icio.us, digg, Furl, Netscape, Yahoo, StumbleUpon, Google Bookmarks, Technorati, Blinklist, Newsvine, and MORE!

Now how sweet is that!! Share away and by golly if you can add this little gem to your blog!! Who knows…it might help bring traffic to your little web home!

I just loooove having this much control over the content here!!

Those little plug ins my friends are going to be awesome little time savers for me…which means more scrapping!! :):) As eluded to above I have updated the Scrap page so go check it out!! I’ll be diligently working on a layout tonight, or at least my part of it!! Yep you guessed it…The Amazing Digi Scrapping Race has the next challenge out there!! And this time my partner Schmoopie and I get to collaborate on one! This ought to be interesting as I’ve never collaborated on anything scrap related before…the closest I’ve come would be picture swaps..but I have a feeling that isn’t going to be much of a primer for this round! Guess I’m one lucky girl to have the knowledgeable, and sweet Schmoopie to help me muddle through it!! :) Thanks girl!!!

Ohhh…and heck…I guess I’ll actually be tackling two layouts tonight!! I just got the most adorable little product called Quilled Whimsies by Christine Honsinger. See aren’t they just adorable! Click for a larger preview!


And if you would like Click here to go purchase it! Promise you won’t be disappointed! I’ll have a sample layout up probably tomorrow just for your viewing pleasure!!

Now I’m off to see if I can find some more amazingly productive little plug ins!! Later!!

Here are out layouts!! Hope you don’t mind Schmoopie! And while you are at it…Check out her blog…she is a scrapping maniac!!

A little bit of Everything!!

Ok…so first up…for those of you that visit and noticed the Explorer post that has a password..thought I’d give you an explination..My Mother has two cars for sale… and I needed to get the info and pictures to someone…well…this place was an easy way to do it…I passworded it so you all wouldn’t get stuck reading a sales pitch :) So since i’m on the subject you will see another one entitle Chrysler 300M for sale soon…it too will be passworded so you don’t have to deal with it…Now just on the odd chance that any of you readers are actually INTERESTED in either post.. The password for the Explorer post is explorer and the password for the Chrysler 300M post is gonna be 300M…So I’m really not being secretive just didn’t want to irritate anyone!!

That being said I am gonna show you some advertising that I know you’d love… Since I know you are creating layouts anyway don’t ya wanna join this! The Color Challenge over at The Digi Shoppe this week has some yummy colors to pick from and just look at this adorable freebie you get for playing!!!

 

Isn’t it just the cutest!! So head over and play along!! Here is the link again just for that easy peasy factor :) Color Challenge for Week of July 16th

Now I usually (when life isn’t crazy and my head is screwed on right) host a small little informal Nudge called Hot off The Press over at The Digi Shoppe…Now..hmm…what do you guess that title means…yep..blog prompts! You don’t have to do them but I sure know sometimes my little brain goes blank on what to gab about, so in those rare instances I give you a nudge…Today’s nudge is to find a poem or song that is all about you and post it…My mother is the real inspiration on this one as she found a poem that is soooo def. me!! So much so I put it in my About me page for everyone to see!! So go check it out…up there at the top…that About tab…you’ll find it there..and who knows…it might fit several of you!! :)

You can find future posts in the Blogger Forum over at The Digi Shoppe…And as usual…here is your nice and easy link!! :) Hot off the Press, editorial ideas and more!

Now are you in the race?? I am…and if you are clueless..The Amazing Digi Scrapping Race is what I’m referring to! :) and darn it I gotta get movin! I have an idea for the first challenge but do you think I have any of it done…nope…procrastinator much!! Well I can’t procrastinate much longer…we have family coming in on Friday so that means I won’t get ANYTHING done this weekend…so tonight and tomorrow is pretty much all I got to finish not just one but TWO!! I can do it though!! :) Ok..that being said I’m off to work and then to scrap sometime tonight!! :)
