Update.........................

I just received an exciting email..........it went something like this:


If you haven't already checked the Craft Warehouse Forums (www.craftwarehouse.com/phpBB2)... let me be the first to say, CONGRATULATIONS!! You made the 2008 Craft Warehouse Design Team. All of us here at Craft Warehouse are very excited to see your creativity blossom!

Can I tell you just how thrilled I am?!

Had A Great Long Weekend........

Well...I had a great long weekend the first part with Brian watching the Oregon/Washington game and the rest with my awesome friends in Portland.We explored new shopping areas and new places to eat.I loved the Pearl district and can't wait to spend more time there and a place I regret not having time to visit is Saint Cupcake. I actually saw the sign as we passed it and thought the sign would make an excellent scrapbook page,can't wait to go back and actually try the cupcakes.

New Projects & some exciting news...........................












Ok.....so I said I would post some of things I have been working on so here they are. I have been working on some projects for contests. The first is for CWH and the second is from Creative Imaginations/ Creative Cafe. So I entered a Creative Cafe Contest(read the link for details). The winning submissions were taken to CHAW(trade/buying show for craft and hobby products) and were entered into the next level of the contest. Out of all the submissions they picked 3 finalist per catagory and 1 grand prize per catagory and then 1 best of best. So on Sunday when the show started I got a call from my friend Ginger who said she had spotted the kids pic on a layout at the Creative Imaginations booth and wanted to know what it was about. After giving her the details she texted me to let me know my card was also in the finals(i entered 3 catagories).So needless to say I stalked any sights with CHAW previews to see if I could get a glimpse of what was going on still wondering if I had actually been a finalist????Luckily Stacy from scrapbook king posted the results on her blog tuesday night(thank you Stacy). I have to say it was pretty exciting I am not clear on what I have won yet but I will post whatever it is when I know . Congrats to Donna she won best of best with the skirt she altered. Brian and I spent the night in Eugene for Valentine's day and took in dinner and a U of O BBall game. The girls met us up in Eugene and we are continueing on to Portland for our annual "mom's weekend away". I wanted to send this prayer request out there for Bree's mom Bonnie she is sick needs some prayer. Until then......


Blessings,
Lashell

It's been a while......

It's been a while since my last post...a lot has been going on. We have all been sick (except for Brian). I am going on my 3rd week of having this awful cold and Halle is along with me. Cole is going to the Dr. today I think he might have a sinus infection:(. Taylor of course she follows along the line with Brian it is rare she gets sick I think it is because she likes school so much she just doesnt want to miss it. I have a few projects to post but I have to wait until a contest I entered is over. If I am reading the rules correctly and a friend who was at CHA is correct I may have placed in the finalist catagory?????? we will see soon! Brian and I are getting out of town for a night soon and my "mom's weekend away" is coming up yeah! I will post the rest of my projects within the next day or so. Until then...



Blessings,
