Come join us at Scrap Matters for the Friday, May 14th Speed Scrap. Look what you get for joining!
I wish I could say I’ll be there, but I’ll be sitting in what’ll likely be a very rainy baseball game hoping the fireworks don’t get cancelled. GO HOGS!

Scrap Orchard is moving! Scrap Matters Speed Scrap!
May 10, 2010 By Leave a Comment
Dear friends, if you have tried to stop by Scrap Orchard, you’ll notice the site is DOWN… I know, I know, it’s hard without being able to click and pull up our orchard forum… I miss it already too… however, it will be back later this week and it’s going to be WORTH the move.
You may have noticed that several of our favorite stores were overwhelmed with visitors during the recent iNSD sales. At one point, Scrap Matters had 900+ visitors to their store. It’s hard to for the servers to keep up. Granted, the inconvenience wasn’t tragic but just a little annoying. The good news is that these stores like Scrap Orchard and Scrap Matters are taking the time to help reduce these problems in the future. So, be a little patient as those transitions happen.
If you are missing the Orchard this week, head on over to Scrap Matters and check out the Tuesday’s Speed Scrap! I can’t be there sadly, I’ll be driving to Little Rock to take my husband to a pre-surgery appointment. He’s having his sinuses worked over so he can breathe a little clearer. But I’ll be checking our the lovely layouts later on to see what you came up with!
Open your windows and let the light in!

It’s a brighter look around here! Tell me what you think! I re-did my blog yesterday because I figured it was getting a bit old… it was dark and now that Spring or practically Summer is here, it’s time to let in the light and open the windows, breathe in the fresh air.
I chose a great kit by Flergs for the re-design… It’s called Paradise and I grab the bundle over at Scrapbook Graphics. It’s a great price at only 10.00 for EVERYTHING! I love the colors and the fun, beachy feel.
So that’s it for now, but stay tuned… there’s always something fun and exciting around the corner.
iNSD Survivor and 40% off

Well, how did you fair this weekend? Did you find some great sales? Win a few prizes? Have some fun chatting and scrapping? I definitely did. iNSD fell on the perfect weekend for me. My DH was out of town for military drill and on those weekends, I get stuck at home with no car. I was happy this weekend though. I did a fireside chat at Scrap Matters on Friday night, hosted by none other than Britt-ish Designs. She gave us a sweet participation prize and the chat had me rolling in laughter the entire time. At one time, there were over 75 crazy scrappers chatting and guessing for prizes at once. HEEEELAARRRIOUS… It really was, I thought my neighbors could hear me laughing since my windows were open. I figured they’d think I was nuts.
I faired well for this weekend. I overspent (of course) but am happy with what I bought and NO, I am not telling you how much I spent! Ha Ha!
So if you visited Scrap Matters this weekend, we had a HUGE sale and the store was really bogged down. Our fantastic owner, Andilynn, even upgraded the server to help the shop keep up. Rest assured, the customer service offered is fantastic and they’ve even extended the sale to be sure you get a chance to get your purchases. Stop by the SHOP and see if you can do a little more iNSD pocketbook damage. Be patient and shop during off peak times for the best results.
Love and Hugs, Kat

May 1, 2010 By 5 Comments
Hi everyone! I’m so glad you have hopped on board the Scrap Matters Moments That Matter Blog Train. There are so many wonderful freebies to celebrate {inter}National Scrapbooking Day!
This train stops ALL OVER THE WORLD! Are you having a good ride? You have probably just been visiting Geeky Diva’s blog and grabbing her cool printable… now you’ve arrived in Fayetteville, Arkansas, Home of the Arkansas Razorbacks. I have a pretty cute freebie for you. It’s a Quickpage and Cluster set made using the Moments That Matter. The cluster is pre-shadowed for your convenience.
Our NSD mega-collab at SM this weekend is called “Moments that Matter” and the whole theme of our celebration is all about those moments in our lives that really matter. At each stop you’ll find a story about a Moment that Matters along with a freebie!! There are TONS of stops on this blog train, so you can pick up a LOT of goodies!! You can get the kit over at our SHOP for FREE with a $20.00 purchase.
Okay, now I am going to tell you about MY moment that matters…
My Wedding Day…
So, the back story is that my husband and I met in September of 1995 working at Best Buy. Ironically, I’d just started a few weeks back and I’d been “warned” about a couple of guys that would “hit on me”… One was 27 (I was 18) and the other was on military duty. Well, the “other” returned from military duty and turned out he had a great smile and was super sweet. I didn’t really care though, so when he asked me out, I shrugged and said “sure, why not”… By the end of our first date, we were inseparable.
Fast forward to 2006, we were still “dating” and living together. We’d moved in together 3 months after we met, December of 1995 and made it 11 years of ups and downs and rounds (ha ha!). July of 2006 brought a bit of a surprise, a positive pregnancy test. We embraced it and actually started to get excited when our son was born prematurely and passed away. We were devastated. His name was Christopher and he was born/died on September 20, 2006.
We know God plans things for a reason, and I think in this case, Christopher was sent to us to help us move forward with our lives. We decided in early December to get married to honor our son’s memory. A quick two weeks of planning, and we were married under the Lights of the Ozarks on the square at Dickson Street. The lights are a local tradition where the city lights up the entire square. It’s beautiful and it was the perfect “moment that matters”. Here’s a couple of photos…
Now, I’m glad you’ve spent some time in Fayetteville, Arkansas calling the HOGS with me (Whooooo PIG Soooooiiieeeee), but it’s time for your next stop on this train and it’s with Jenn W. Don’t forget to pick up your freebie, you can grab it -X- or click on the preview image below… This link has expired… SORRY!
