Digi Dare #117

Hey Reader?? hahha....Long time no blogging. I really stink at blogging and I had hoped to change that but really not sure how I can fit that in my schedule. I am going to try my best though to be better about it sporadically (mainly on Fridays)

Anyways, Emily Merritt is hosting such a fun dare this week I wanted to advertise for it a bit. Have you see the blog, Friday Letters– http://babyloveletters.typepad.com/baby_love_letters/ It has weekly prompts to help you write letters to your children so they can KNOW who you are and what you feel. One year, I want to go thru and do them all...it's just such a great idea. Check out her dare HERE

I chose question #53 and came up with this layout about it.

I hope everybody's new year has started off great! I hope to be back same place, diff dare next week :) Have a good one!!

Supporting a great cause!

This month at SSD the staff got together and created a template from one of their favorite layouts to be included in a cookie swap. The package is being sold together for $10 with the proceeds going to Toys 4 Tots. Such an amazing charity and you get 31 fabulous templates in return. If you can't afford the donation then the templates are being offered in a daily download each day in December. Make sure to check the stickied post for updates on designers that are offering coupons or gift codes for layouts with their goodies!

I hope everybody is having a joyful happy holiday so far. I hope to blog more regularly in the upcoming year!

How Real Are You

Hey readers!! I had FOBTY today @ SSD so I just decided to copy/paste my post here as well. I REALLY am trying to be a better blogger, but like I said...I'm boring and sometimes have very little to say lol...soooooo hence not many blog posts. I will be back tomorrow though b/c I'm hosting the digidare challenge this week woot!!! Anyways, here's my post for today.

First off..wow it’s been 7 years since the WTC attack and it seems like only yesterday. I was going to make today’s post a tribute but then decided that we would probably see it everywhere today. I do know however that I will never forget the tragedy, emotions, and sorrow that I felt that day. Never will those images be erased from my mind.

Ok moving on, I decided to do this quiz about real I am..I know I’m a totally different person offline than I am online. It’s just my nature. I can be more “myself” online than I ever could IRL. I’m incredibly shy (go figure), unconfident, and just lack that self esteem that I excude online. My DH teases me that my friends live in this box, and i’m perfectly OK with that! They get me if that makes any sense and I appreciate them with my whole being!

I actually happen to think my results are NOT me at all..but who knows, maybe i have more in me than I realize lol (not likely)

You Are 74% Real

You know who you are, and you’re pretty darn comfortable with yourself. Like everyone, you struggle with the parts of yourself that aren’t so great… But you’re good at accepting who you are and not dwelling on your faults. As a result, you’re confident, optimistic, and very real.

New Look!!

I picked up Zoe's Blog in a Box today @ SSD..and am in looooooooove!!! I did alter it just a tad for my liking but it was super easy to do and I highly recommend it!!

Hope ev1 has had a great weekend :) I'll blog again tomorrow!

No Shopping at night...

Dear Spontaneous Shopper Self,

No more late night shopping. It does not do good things to your cost conscious personality. I hope you don't feel guilty when the statement comes and regret your purchase. Enjoy it now just in case you do.

Love,
Your Frugal Other Side

Starting over??

Ok so yah..my blog is seriously neglected. I am however going to start over! Right this minute in fact!!! Too bad for you too b/c I'm rather boring and have nothing interesting to say.

So...I do have a vent though and you get the pleasure of listening to..errr reading it. Sometimes I feel like the digiscrap world is kinda like Jr. High. Really, you can't trust ANYBODY, and little things said get made out to be much bigger. There's so much drama...even in "drama free" zones...It's borderline ridiculous. Anyways..vent over no need to go into anymore...yah that's it...

so....Hope everybody has a fantastic day! I have a digidare LO to do and maybe catch up on some CT stuff...I'd LOVE to take a day off the computer but we know that won't happen. I just can't stay away lol

I promise to be a more active blogger! Until next time....

Gonna try...

and be a better blogger!!

Today I put a cute freebie on the Hawt Mama Team Blog. Make sure to check it out!
