A day in the life of Kim

Free Shipping at Scrapping Simply

Good morning!!  :)  Today I've got another maternity session.  I'm really looking forward to it.  This client was here just before the holidays to have her greeting cards done. And now she's back to do the rest of her session.  Lots to do!  After that, hubby wants to clean out the storage area in our laundry room.  We've got about 10 years worth of paperwork that needs to be shredded, lots of his grandfather's stuff that we need to decide what to do with, and I have to neaten up the pantry shelves.  Mom and I didn't do any canning this past Fall, so there's lots of empty space that can be utilized for other things.

Anyway, I wanted to let ya know about a promo that is going on over at Scrapping Simply.  They are offering free shipping on all prints this Sunday.  I think it's normally a flat rate of $5, so this is a nice perk.  :)  Unfortunately, I don't really have anything to print right now cuz I'm all caught up.  The last batch that I sent over there came back looking fabulous!!  And I'm kinda bummed that I'm missing out on the free shipping this time.  Oh well......maybe YOU can take advantage?  I hope so!  Check it out RIGHT HERE.

 

Okey dokey - I'm outta here.  Have a great day and I hope you enjoy the superbowl tomorrow.  :)

TAG - I'm it!

I was tagged by Theresa Hernandez on her blog with the Sixth Photo Meme. The rules are simple:

1.Go to your Picture Folder on your computer or wherever you store your pictures.

2.Go to the 6th Folder, then pick the 6th picture in that folder.

3.Post that picture on your blog and the story that goes along with the picture.

4.Tag 6 other people that you know or don’t know to do the same thing and leave a comment on their blog or an e-mail letting them know you chose them.

So, here is my sixth picture in my sixth folder. This is a picture of Ellie taken a few days after we brought her home from the breeder.  She was just 8 weeks old here.  Isn't she a cutie?!

 

So now it's YOUR turn......I'm tagging Jamie, Jill, Beth, Chris, Darcy, and Barb.  Looking forward to seeing your 6th pic.  :)

Celebrating 4 Years in Business

Can you believe it?  On Monday, my store will be 4 years old.  When I first started this hobby, there weren't many designers or shops around.  As a matter of fact, I designed my own stuff cuz I had no idea there were others out there who did this too!  It wasn't til quite a few months later that I stumbled onto some of the other shops.  I think SBB and SBE were the only ones out there.  Funny to look back and see how much this business has grown and changed in such a short period of time.  And even though I wasn't there right at the very beginning, I do feel like I'm a pioneer in some respects.  LOL 

As a big ole thank you for supporting my business over the years, I'm having a storewide sale all week at CG Essentials.  Everything will be marked down 30%, plus you will receive a $5 gift card for every $20 you spend (which you can use for future purchases after this sale ends).  There are no coupons needed for the sale.  And only a few things are excluded:  CD burning, past purchases, bargain bin items and gift cards.  Plus, there will be a new kit and some other new items in the shop too!  There is even a new FREE SAMPLE . . . check it out.  :)

And just to see who all is reading the blogaroo this week, I'll be doing a random drawing.  Just answer this question "WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE PART OF DIGISCRAPPING?"  and be sure to leave an email address for me to contact you if you're the winner.  I will do the drawing on Saturday, January 10th, so ya got all week to think up your answer.  Winner will get $15 PayPal to spend wherever you want, and two runners up will each get $5 to spend in my shop at CG Essentials.

Thanks again for a fabulous 4 years!!
