    Good times….good times…

    I know what you’re thinking.

    “Well, well, well….look who’s back to blogging. It’ll last a week – maybe two.”

    I’m here to tell you that you are possibly correct….LOL!

    I am just so busy (in a good way) and my poor, amazingly designed (thanks, Gen) blog is sitting here feeling neglected.  Back to school time is always a hard one – I have to end my two month gig as a work-at-home mom and head back to teaching.  I have an excellent class list this year (yay!) and to top it off, my sweet  daughter is going to Kindergarten in my building!

    Sooo, this week starts the official fall start-up of her sports and lessons and all that jazz! She is doing soccer, martial arts, and ballet.  Have I mentioned how awesome my kid is? She is the perfect mix of sassy and sweet (with an occasional overdose of sassy) and she is also the perfect mix of tomboy and princess.  She pretty much rules in my book. 

    Rest assured, with these new activities comes new word art packs!  I have a soccer pack in the works now…and I’d love to get ballet and martial arts packs cranked out soon, too! Soooo, here’s your job: send over your ideas for those three packs.  If I use your suggestion, you’ll get that pack free!

    Anyone who sends a suggestion will be entered to win a copy of Rebecca Cooper’s new e-book as soon as it is released from Ella Publishing Co.  I got a sneak peek of the book – and looooove it!  There will be many more yummy, downloadable e-books coming soon from Ella Publications….so sign up for their newsletter  to stay informed!

    Here’s a sneak peek at the book that I’ll buy for one lucky suggestion sender-inner (nice, huh?):

     

    So whatcha waitin’ for?? Dig deep, people. I need some inspiration…and in the process of inspiring me, you just might inspire yourself!!!

    Email me ideas by Thursday, September 3, 2009! Have a great day! Mwah!
