"Diva Valentine on www.bookoto.com"

Bookoto is having a post valentine challenge and give-away. They are giving away "Designing With Divas" book! You can visit the site for more details.

Anyway, I would not pass up on the chance to win that book so here is my entry...



I made this layout so that my children would know that I am NOT high maintenance at all. My husband would always joke that I am - but honestly I AM NOT! I don't buy jewelry. In fact I only have a few pieces and that includes my wedding ring already. I am not into designer clothes, bags, or shoes. But I do splurge on food. That is one thing our family indulges in. And so with that - also comes gym memberships and gym outfits... haha... so do you think I'm high maintenance??? Nah - not at all!

October Afternoon's FULL REVEAL!

I'm so excited about October Afternoon's full reveal. Even us DT members have yet to see the full line. Please head on over to the BLOG today. It will be updated several times today with the new lines and some other fun stuff.

In the meantime, I'd like to share with you a new layout I made using papers from the previous lines (Weathervane and Night Light).



and here is my take on the skecth by the fabulous Celeste Smith! Do join the sketch challenge to get a chance to win a STAMP SET from October Afternoon.

My Two Girls

My 4 year old Nicole Breanna as an angel in the nativity play in their school.

Materials: Papers: Webster's Pages; Stamps: Prima, Autumn Leaves, Inkadinkado

My baby Cheska Pauline - only two weeks old here and giving me a sweet smile already...

Nicole is really a big girl now. She used to be afraid of going on kiddie rides alone, but she surprised me when she eagerly rode the kiddie trucks at Star City on her own - not just once but three times in a row!



Materials: All October Afternoon goodies, plus Fancy Pants Overlay

Prima Winner

I asked my husband to give me two numbers from 1 to 80. I planned on having my daughter participate again but since she only knows numbers 1 to 30 now, it would be unfair to those who posted late! LOL! Ok so my DH gave me the number 11 and 30. 11 for Nicole's birthday which is Dec 11, and 30 for Cheska's birthday which is Dec 30.

So the 11th blogger who posted is : CANDY
and the 30th blogger who posted is: Snazzyjazzy

Congratulations and please email me your address. Thanks for playing everyone!
