It's self promotion time!!


Hey everyone, I want to invite you to come and check out my new store at CafePress. You can find all sorts of super cool Lotus Paperie logo apparel and home decor! My personal favorites are the hoodie and the wall clock. Go to the link above and browse the store for yourself! Also, if you want to purchase a product that you don't see just email me and let me know so that I can add it to the store. I hope to see all of you sporting your Lotus Paperie threads...spread the word!

August Page Kit


So here it is...August's page kit is loaded with Basic Grey "Fusion" papers. It's rather girly, I know but the prints are more versatile than you might anticipate considering that floral. However, there are two great elements to this kit that get me really excited and I hope they do for you too!! In the lower left portion of the image above you can see some beautiful Celtic knots. Those are the latest and greatest from Maya Road. They were generously donated to our monthly kits. They are AMAZING!!! Also, there's some yummy green velvet rickrack which is another Maya Road product. The alphabet stickers are Thickers by American Crafts. They are my current favorite alphabet product.
In this month's kit you will receive one of each of the five prints shown above, two each of three cardstocks, one yard of each the green velvet rick rack and burgundy grosgrain ribbon, one pack of black "smoothie" thickers, prima flowers in monochromatic variations of both burgundy and peach, navy buttons and two pieces of the Maya Road chipboard.
As an added incentive to purchase this kit, the lucky ones who are the first to place their order will receive (at random and totally FREE) one of the following while supplies last.

You gotta check back tomorrow...

because I'll be posting the new page kit for August. You can expect to see Basic Grey and some KILLER Maya Road chipboard. I won't say anything else now but in the morning as I sip my ritual coffee, I'll be posting the new kit for your summertime scrapping enjoyment. That's it for now.

I need to vent...

I am having one of those days where I'm being forced to accommodate someone else's unreasonable, unrelenting request. It makes me MAD!!! I do not respond well to bullying and I am on the receiving end of it today. I won't say exactly who has committed this offense against me, but I will say that it is rude, ignorant and unreasonable. I can't stand being disrespected, I really dislike trying to communicate with people who speak on top of my words and get immeasurably frustrated when I know I'm not being heard. I like to think I'm a fairly adept and skilled communicator (albeit impatient occasionally when frustrated) but the phonecall that I engaged in today tempted me to use foul language and curse words with someone whom I have a business relationship with...I reluctantly resisted the urge. Who knows what I aim to accomplish with this post other than getting the altercation out of my head but I know that I was NOT in the wrong. I have the right to say "no" and that right was not respected. 'nuff said.

Macro bees


For my birthday back in March, Ray bought me a really fun Macro lens. I use it so much for photographing details for scrapbooking but every now and then I still go out and shoot flowers and bugs. This is a few from my garden yesterday evening. It was really for no good reason that I was taking these pictures...just for practice.
