Where Oh Where...

Can Altereds be? It's been over 24 hours now and there is no sign of the altered scrapping website/store/blog... Oh, I bet JoDe is fuming! I was over there yesterday morning checking on the creative team. I should have paid closer attention because when I went back for more information... poof! everything gone! JoDe says the problem is in Texas where the server had a hard drive failure... I sure hope she didn't loose everything... hmmm maybe we should move the site to doodlescraps eh? hehe... at least there would be a complete site there then~ JoDe had posted a new "gift" on her blog yesterday along with the preview of her new layette, Fall Fashion... which as I mentioned has disappeared with all things Altereds. So on the off chance you may have come here, to find out what is going on there... I will give you a preview!

isn't it purdy?.. oh and how about a peek at the little gift she had up?
oh look it matches... hehe... sneaky devilish little woman... anything to snatch the greenbacks from our grubby little hands eh? Oh, would you like this little gift? well... sorry Altereds is down! hehe... oh... you say you're my best friend... well then... why didn't you say so in the first place... don't tell JoDe... I'll hide it here for you until Altereds is back up! Shh.. it will be our secret.... FRIEND!

I found this Compelling...

Indulged

DD, SIL and grandson were down this weekend... It's always nice to see them... We never get to see enough of them! Seems like DD gets more beautiful each time and the grandson just keeps getting cuter and smarter. Although I seem to have lost my place at the top of his world ... It seems he just can't get enough of his grandpa! Well of course... grandpa never tells him NO... Any way, I was reminded that it has been a while since I scrapped him... actually since I have scrapped anything, so I pulled out these photos I took a couple of months ago and went to town.

Oh my gosh Suddenly I have too many pots in the fire! I need to take a breather and thank Vickie Weers for creating the banners for Altered Scrapping that will be used at RAKScraps during the October sponsor period! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Vickie did a fabulous job and if the banners don't look perfect, it's because I stuck my fat fingers in an tinkered with them... I never can leave well enough alone!

Speaking of Altered Scrapping, check out JoDe's blog, she has a great gift up there for all to download!
