From My Blog to Yours Quiz for the week...

Ok, this one is about shopping, and let me tell you...there is no surprise here:




You Are an Impulse Shopper



When you go shopping, you have no set strategy. You just browse until something catches your eye.

You like sales, but you mostly like them because they're an excuse to shop.



Of all the types, you are the most likely to be a shopaholic. You can't stop shopping!

You're not the kind of person who makes a list or plans what to buy. So sometimes you end up with too much stuff.

A Look Inside the Bag....

When I release a bag, I usually send it over to Strictly Reveal so that everyone can get a good look at it. Unfortunately, Strictly Reveal is taking some time off, so I had nowhere to send my new bag. Then I thought...well why not just reveal it on your own blog? So that's what I am here to do! Without further ado, here are the contents of SirScrapalot's CU Doodled Bag!


































I absolutely LOVE these doodles, and I loved making them. I want to give a special shout out to my customer and friend Kathy. She faithfully buys every bag and swears she loves them. You can get the bag HERE.


We have a bunch of other stuff going on at MSS these days too. This weekend we will be doing our first Commercial Use Blog Hop...check out the ad:


And my friend Trish is starting a new website that is sure to be a great resource to all digiscrappers. Check out the details:


That's all for today. Make sure to check me out in the blog hop, and I have new, fun stuff for everyone this weekend!!

Let's Start Saturday with a Quiz...

Ok, so I have this snow quiz. Take it, and post it on your blog.



Your Snow Test Says You're Independent



You feel like something good will happen to you in the next few months.

You have an amazingly strong work ethic. You are likely to be very successful in life.

You are an independent, individualistic person. You thrive when you're doing your own thing.

Your biggest worry in your life is your health. You tend to be a bit of a hypochondriac.

When it comes time to relax, you have difficulty relaxing. You are a bit high strung.


Link me to the post on your blog in the comments here before midnight Sunday, and I will pick ONE person to win a $5.00 GC to my store!!!

An answer to the question...

Thanks to everyone who is voting for my layout on the PenScrappers site! There are so many great layouts there!

In the comments section of the last post, Teri asked some questions about what I do with my layouts when I am done. I figured I would take a few minutes to answer the question.

For the most, my layouts stay on the computer and in online galleries for me and others to enjoy. In the past, I have printed layouts in a few ways. I have printed my layouts as 8x8 on my printer here, and then mounted them on patterned paper and embellished them further for albums. Kind of a hybrid approach. Some pages I have printed here at home and used them to put together a chipboard album. Late last year, I had a number of prints done through MyPicTales, and the quality was awesome. I got them printed at 12x12, and the layouts looked great, not to mention that they were insanely affordable. I know that MyPicTales had hit some snags in their single page print process, but I recently saw that they have started printing single pages again. I am confident that they will continue to produce quality work.
I have never had a photobook printed. For me, there is something special about being able to hold the layout in my hand, and move it around in an album. I think it's the paper scrapper peeking out, but photobooks are not something I have been interested in.
What does everyone else do? What do you do with your layouts when you are done? Let us know.

School was cancelled today, so I had one extra day of vacation. Tomorrow the real world, and math, will come knocking. I am already tired.

Take care!
