the journey is the reward...


Hello!

Happy Sunday!

I'm just popping in here really quick to share this pub reject:


I was able to squeak out 2 pub subs but neither of them were picked up.  That's okay...I still enjoyed the creative proces AND I always love socking them away for a day that I don't have anything to share:)

I super adore this Crate chickie...she is just way too cute.

Did you see Paper Issues' new challenge?


Yup, you guessed it.

Lookie at the fab prize


**sigh**

Makes a girl happy dontcha think?

Check out the new challenge HERE.

Check this out:


I just pinned my 1,000 pin....way too fun.

Have you all been enjoying the Summer CHA sneaks peeks?  *sigh*...so many new collections that are calling my name...

This is going to be a super busy week on my blog....I'll be sharing my last guestie post for Lawnscaping, The Craft's Meow Sneaks start AND I have a fun announcement for later on this week...
