It's Friday! Yay! This will be the first weekend I haven't worked in quite some time and I'm looking forward to it! I'm helping with our church's Easter Egg Hunt on Sunday and the girls are looking forward to that too.
I've got some news and updates to share (and maybe a giveaway - shhh)...
First up, thank you to everyone that visited us at the Columbus Memories Expo or at our Warehouse Sale - it's always nice to see friendly faces. Also, thank you to everyone that purchased online for the Warehouse Sale - we were inundated with orders and are still working on shipping them out! Thank you bunches for the support!
Next up, we're doing some updating around the blog - like the new look? Love those cute little wooden flags on the sides! Thank you Laina and Kimber! We're also updating our online stores, upcoming events and partners. If you are an online store and you're not on our list - please shoot us an e-mail.
Speaking of upcoming events - Kimber and I are headed to Moncton, NB Canada for Scrapbook & Cards Today: Crop & Create at the end of April. If you're able, we'd love to have you join us! There's still time to sign up for Kimber's classes. You can check out more info here. Also, here's a quick sneak of one of the make n' takes I'll be offering during the crop...
Garden Mini Tag Album using Coconut Lime Soup
Some DT news - we've had questions about whether or not we would be doing a DT call this spring. We've decided to extend the current DT contract another 6 months simply because I do not have the time to focus on a call right now. I look forward to seeing all the applications in the fall! Thank you for your inquiries and excitement about being on the team. We do need to say "good-bye" to Linda Barber, Celeste Smith and Julie Bonner who have decided not to stay on. All 3 will surely be missed! Thank you bunches girls for all your great inspiration! Make sure to keep up with them on their personal blogs. Also, we have a new addition - Maile Belles will be joining us with her amazing card designs! More on that next month!
Finally, a GIVEAWAY! I am love, love, loving the April Card Kitchen Kit! It goes live today over on the Card Kitchen blog. Kimber's cards are A-D-O-R-A-B-L-E!!! I must say there's so much other inspiration over there too - with guests and Teri's cards - as a cardmaker I love it. You must check it out! Anyhow, I have one to giveaway!!!!
Here's a sneak of the kit...
If you're interested in this kit - leave a comment. I'm fine with any comment - ask me a question, tell me what your spring break plans are, tell me your favorite Easter Egg tip, whatever... we'll pick a winner next week!
Good Luck and have a great weekend!
Fabulous giveaway! For Easter I like to bake, a bunny cake, and eggs :)

Spring break was last week for us...we went to Michigan expecting cold weather. It was in the 80's all week and we loved it even if we hadn't packed for such warm weather.
Love the kits from Card Kitchen...they are full of goodies.
