I have been a bad blogger this week. Work has been a bit stressful and I haven’t been super chatty. I’m behind on my word of the day project which I think I’m going to put on hold until I feel more creative. I tried to work on a layout last night and I just moved things around on the page for awhile not liking anything. I saved it and maybe once I go back to it after a few days a design will come to me. Tomorrow is Friday which I’m so happy about. I really need to get some things done this weekend, we’ll see if I can muster the mojo. Seeing some friends for dinner and watching Super Bowl on Sunday. I like seeing the commercials but the last few years’ ads have really sucked, which is disappointing. Maybe this year will be different.
Since I didn’t really mention the Tuesday $2 Sale the other day I still have the sale up in the store for anyone who wants to check them out. And if I feel inspired I’ll have a freebie soon. =)
Elizabeth from my Creative Team is having her baby boy Graham today. I wish her luck and I hope everything goes smoothly. Can you believe this is her 4th kid???!! Yikes! So I’ll have new baby designs and products soon since they will be in high demand.
Toodles for now,

I’m a bit late with this post today since it’s been a long Monday. I”m going to knock 11 & 20 off the list by saying I’m TIRED of having ALIMENTS and always being sick or “something”. I went today again to the doctor for various things as well as more leg pains I’ve been having. I swear I see the doctor more then I see some of my family. Not kidding!
After a morning of running around and a sonogram of my legs I’m happy to say I’m blood clot free! Although I’m clot free I’m tired of always having pains and to deal with “something”. I am aware that most of it is MY FAULT since I need to eat better, lose weight and exercise but I would it would just be easier and go away! Blah.

Anyways, that’s about it from me for now. Did some things around the house this weekend but nothing that I feel that accomplished over. I did scrap some which is something since I haven’t in awhile. I did put off doing what I really need to get done though. Maybe this week or weekend. Fingers crossed.
Back tomorrow for Tempting Tuesday Sale,

P.S. Loved this graphic when I came across it and Laura it makes me think of YOU!!! =P
I’m skipping around the list today since I have a celebrity sighting to tell you about!

John & I saw Julie Stiles last night shopping for groceries at this store by us. She was all bundled up for the cold weather and looked like a regular person shopping for food. I spotted her and then told John. We then followed her to make sure it was her. LOL! I yelled at John for not being more excited to see a celebrity and he thought I was crazy!
What can I say I love seeing celebrities! I’ve seen probably at least 75 celebrites over the years. And the funny part is, 6-7 years ago I complained about living in NYC all these years and never seeing anyone. Then all of a sudden it started to happen. I love celebrity spotting…it’s really a hobby! He he he!
Hope you are having a good weekend. I’m trying to get some stuff done today but kinda slow. We did go for eye exams and get new frames. I’m getting a new green pair. What are the odds?! John got a really cool pair too. Can’t wait to get them in.
Ta ta!

I was going to use a song about New York for my word of the day but after looking for songs I realized there were too many! So instead is sharing one I figured I would link to all the songs so you can see how many there are for this town!

As you can probably gather I’m a proud born and raised New York City gal. I still reside here although I did go away to college. Anyways, this town is one of a kind and although the crowds and people drive me crazy sometimes (mostly when commuting or on the street…so that’s most days then) I still enjoy being here. And you know what they say? If you can make it there, you’ll make it anywhere…It’s up to you, New York, New York.
Have a good weekend…toodles.

So we had to reschedule our Digital Baby Shower for CT member, Elizabeth to this coming Saturday, January 26th. And the cat is out of the bag too as I told her so she would come this time. LOL! =P
Hope you will join us on Saturday at 1pm EST in the Tara Sroka Designs Chat Room!
I came across this site and thought it was too funny not to share!

If you are a graphic designer you will totally get this and crack up. I think it’s a good idea to implement. LOL!
I know this is a total cop out of doing this word of the day but here is a older layout I did awhile ago of my parents and me. I might have posted it before too. Sorry I’m just feeling very lazy right now. I’ll try to do one for the next one, which is New York (which is two words together..lol).

Happy Friday!

I worked on this Valentine’s Day Candy Bag Topper yesterday and last night. So anyone who needs to give out treats to the and from the kiddies pick it up. There is a .PSD & .PNG file included in this. Just insert photo, print, cut and fold. Staple to the top of the bag like in the photo. Put any candy you want in it. =)

Since posting the other day about being super creative I’ve hit a wall. Since then I’m not really feeling creative and am struggling this week. I am trying to overcome it with the topper design and a new paper pack, Hippity Hop Solid Papers.

Love these papers and are so cute for Easter, which will be hear before you know it this year.
I’ll get back to the Word of The Day later on…feeling lazy with this.

Seems I’m behind on my word of the day project….so let’s see what I can do here.
Saturday – food
Sunday – perfectionist
Monday – Friend
Today – dedicated
I’m a perfectionist when it comes to design and I love food too much these days. People who know me know I dedicate myself whole heartedly into my husband, friends, family, work and art. I am not one to “wing” a project if given to me. I will do my best to give you my all and perfect the project to death! Creative people are very perfectionist people.
So I cheated and combined all the words into ONE paragraph!

And today is Tempting $2 Tuesday in the store! You never know what will be on sale for only $2!
More tomorrow,

P.S. Laura, the apple is looking at YOU! =P
