Hey everyone.... How are you today??? It is finally spring and I have some goodies for you. I will be getting them uploaded this weekend and have them ready for you first thing Monday, unless I get a chance to get everything done this weekend. I have a Mintie Spring Kit and an awesome MEGA Easter Kit....... I hope you enjoy them both. I am not sure if I am going to post them both at the same time or not yet. I may give it a little time to keep you from getting bogged down. : )
I am heading off to get some more work done. Huge hugs to you all.

I know a good many of you know Farrah Elkins of Designer Scraps, Designer Scraps Living Large (which she has no longer) and the NEWEST STORE Simply Beautiful Scraps. She also makes those cute little CHUBBIES and does Tutorials also. She is having some major health problems and needs some help, (whether she likes or not). She is always the first to help someone and go out of her way to help others. She has the biggest heart of anyone I know. Let me tell you a little bit about the Farrah I know and have grown to love over the past year.

I met Farrah around this time last year and had just been recently told I would never be able to get my license back (I have epilepsy). My attending a actual college were over and that I had to have a hysterectomy and never be able to have a child of my own. I was devastated and ready to crawl into a hole and die. Farrah talked to me through a group we were both in and gave me 3 scrap kits free of charge, because disablility doesn't go very far with bills to pay. She put tuts up that taught how me how to make tags. I was addicted then.... She actually gave me my very first tag and I still look at it today and thank her. I started getting better at the tags and wanted to learn how to make kits. She stepped up and helped me with that also. I have learned all about being copyright compliant and everything involved from Farrah. I still have emails where she would walk me step by step through something I didn't understand or was having major problems with. When I got confused and ready to quit she didn't give up on me.

I had saved money to get her to make me a blog set and spent it to help someone else in need, she gave me one and helped me learn how to do them myself. She is not like any one I have ever met. There is no way I can ever repay her for what all she has done for me. How do you repay one who gives you a reason to get up in the morning.....

I hope you all can find it in your hearts to help her even though money is tight and times are rough, because she would do it for you. There are a few ways you can help Farrah. You can go to her shop HERE.

Thank you for reading what I have to say about Farrah. Below is other information about how to you can help her if you care too....

Thank you, huge hugs and Happy creating.

How are all of you doing today???? Guess what I woke up to yesterday morning???? 3-5 inches of snow. I was thrilled. I love snow. I will get my pictures uploaded and on here for you all to see. It was gorgeous. Well I am getting ready for the next holiday and working on a Easter kit..... A little early I know, but the early bird gets the worm... lol I am trying to get to get some kits ahead so I can get some other things made up. I have quite a few things I am wanting to do, but have some more classes to finish first and they start up in a week or two. I hope all of you have a great day and I will talk to you all soon. Huge hugs and happy creating.

I finally got through my final and had some time to create a paper pack for you. This is a large paper pack. There are 2 BONUS elements in there, but that is all. I am sorry there are not any more elements, but I didn't have a lot of time to get this together. I am working on a HUGE Easter kit and that is taking up a lot of my free time. I hope you enjoy this. Please send me some of the goodies you make and I will post them here if it is possible (meaning PG). Huge hugs and Happy Creating.

It is time for a change.... V-day is over and St. Patty's is coming. I have a new Blinkie to the right. Actually my first blinkie... I made it today along with my new look. I just got my final turned in and hoping for good results. I am nervous, but I did my best and very happy with it. If you want, feel free to grab my blinkie and post it wherever you want. I am in the process of an easter kit and a St. Patty's mini-kit. I am going to take off and get busy on the new goodies. Have a great day and please visit again soon. Huge hugs.

I have been working on this kit for awhile. A very dear special artist was the reason for it. I hope she likes it and knows who she is. I also hope all of you enjoy it also. Well here it finally is. The Grungy-goth Valentine.

TAG TEMPLATES


PAPER TEMPLATES

I have 2 new goodies for you for Valentine's Day.... A paper template for showing off your paper for kits and a tag template. I hope you enjoy them both. I had fun making them for you guys. Here is previews of both and some tags made with the tag template. Enjoy and have fun creating with them. I would like to thank Dalova, my dear sweet friend for the two tags she made with my template. I love them both. I am hoping I get some more to show you. Huge hugs.

HEART TAG TEMPLATE HERE


PAPER PREVIEW TEMPLATE HERE

I have some good news... Murphy is doing better. I am very happy about that. I also have some good news for all you. I have gotten a paper template to show of papers you make and a tag template made for you for Valentine's Day. I will try to get it posted this weekend so you can snag it. I hope you all enjoy it. Huge hugs.

Tara

Hi my friends, I know, no goodies yet. I am in the process of it though. Murphy's little hands are doing a little better. Which is a great relief. He has been a really good baby through all of it also. My sister (his mommy) is also recovering very well from her surgery. Things are beginning to look a little better around here finally. I will definately have something for you by the end of the month for Valentine's Day. I hope all of you are doing well and will talk to you all very soon. Huge hugs.

Tara

I hope all of you had a Great Christmas and a Happy New Year. I am sorry I haven't posted anything for a while.... It has been wild around here..... I have been sick a few times and then right before Christmas my 1 year old nephew Murphy got 3rd degree burns on his little hands. I haven't even thought about or really made time for my blog.... Please forgive me..... I am in the process of getting somethings made for you all and a few extra goodies to boot.... It just may take a little while with everything my family has going on right now...... I will talk to you all soon. Huge hugs and lots of love.

I have just signed up for my first Blog Train. I am really excited. I will keep you updated with all the information as we go along.

I wanted to let the people I have seen making the EPILEPSY AWARENESS Kits that I really appreciate it very much. As some of you may know I was diagnosed with Epilepsy in 2002. I had heard of it, but I didn't know a lot about it and not many people that I knew did either. I started searching the internet for all the info I could find. When people like you do this, it makes other people more aware and for that I am grateful. My heart felt thanks goes out to you. For the ones who deal with this in their lives everyday as I do, I send out all my thoughts and prayers. Huge hugs to all and have a nice weekend.

Tara

Hi everyone, I owe you an apology. I had planned on putting up a new kit for all of you before halloween but I wasn't able to. I have epilepsy and have been having health problems with it. I am going to try to get one up as soon as I can. I would like to give a special thanks to Farrah of Farrah's Creations for all the help with getting my new look up and working. I would also like to thank all of the people who have downloaded my kits and made tags with them. Also for sending them to me so I can post them here. I plan on keeping this more up to date for you with some kind of goodies and more posts to let you know what is going on. Thank you for your support and friendships. Huge hugs to all of you.

Tara

I am so sorry I haven't posted anything new for you guys lately. I have been sick and then my uncle died. I will try to get a kit finished with in the next few days for you if possible. I hope all of you have had a good week and a better week end. Huge hugs.

Tara

Hi all, it's me again. I am working on a mini kit for all of you and am hoping it will be up and ready to go in a few days. I lost 2 new kits I had made and ready for you, but trying to get them remade now.

If you are in the Hurricane's path stay safe and take care. You all are in my thoughts and prayers.

I am still taking it easy and getting lots of rest. I am hoping to get back on my feet real soon. I really miss making you kits and reading all my comments you leave for me. Hugs.
