ACLP- Scrappy Challenge

This is my second post for the day...if you are looking for
Mo's Dream Team Hop
please scroll to the post below!!

A Crafty Little Place

It's time for another Scrappy Challenge at A Crafty Little Place.
This will be my last assignment for Claudia and ACLP!!
With School quickly approaching...I have decided to simplify a bit more and stepping down from DCRU not only allows me to focus more on my family and our homeschooling, but it also gives me a chance to focus more on Claudia and Co. and being the artist of the Puddle Jumpers!!
Everyday, seems like just a rush to get everything done.  It seems to NEVER slow down!!
Letting go of even 1 thing makes such a huge difference!!

I love all the DCRU Girls and I count Claudia as on of my dearest friends...Thanks bunches for asking me to join you nearly one year ago...wow time sure does fly when you are having fun!!
Can you believe it's been almost a year?!?!!?
I have to say a thank you to Gwen (known to me as G-Dawg) as well...Thanks Girl for all your mad organizational skills, your patience and understanding...C has a diamond in you!!! HUGS!!

Ok, so on to the Scrappy Challenge...
I had the honor of designing the last DCRU Scrappy Sketch:

I hope you like it and I hope you are able to join us this week!!

ACLP - Challenge 49 and My Last Card

Happy ACLP Challenge Day Everyone!!

Yep, it's Tuesday!!
Today, my husband, Eric and I were supposed to be laughing and having fun with Claudia (of DCRU and Claudia & Co.) and her husband Mike at CHA.  I was beyond honored when C asked me to accompany her as her Product Consultant,  however I came down with a terrible tooth issue that has left me with excruciating pain, nausea and a fever, so after much thought and prayer...I decided it was better for me to stay at home to rest and heal!! There is a reason for everything!!

So, as we speak my Bestie Claudia is walking her little feet off from booth to booth at CHA excited to see all the new goodies her and I have been talking about for weeks now!!
Believe me...she has plans to bring back all the BEST product from all the top notch companies, so stay tuned to ACLP for all the latest DCRU news!! Yipppee!!

BTW, don't feel too bad for me missing out on CHA...it wasn't really CHA I was excited about...it was spending time with Claudia.  No fear we have plans to get our families together soon, since we both agree this friendship we have was definitely one set in heaven!!

Have fun Claudia and Mike!!

Ok, so on to ACLP - Challenge 49

It's my last as a Card DT. It's difficult to juggle it all, so I have decided to go 

ahead and take a break from the card team this term. 

However, I will still be the Monthly Card Kit Designer and I will be giving 

the Scrap Challenge a try!!

Huge "Getting Caught Up Post"

WOW...what a few days I have had, the last 2 days have felt like weeks!!

The first thing I should say is that I now understand the frustration of computer/internet issues as I have had enough lately to do me for years!! I have compassion i never had before for those of you who deal with this on a regular basis!!  The worst part was it was right in the middle of the Claudia and Co. June Release, a commitment to a friend (Betty) to be in her blog hop and a challenege at A Crafty Little Place...among other business that I need a computer with internet service for!!

I tell ya, if this continues much longer...I will need a psychiatrist or a padded cell!! LOL!!

So for now I have service and I have been a frazzled mess trying to get 

emails written, photos uploaded and delayed posts written!!

So hear goes...

Gotta Wear Shades
