A SASSY, SWEET SHOPPE RELEASE!!

Hey there Sassy sisters!!! Can I get a big WOOHOO??!!! The day has arrived!! It is THE SWEET SHOPPE release party!! You just gotta LOVE, SASSY STUDIO DESIGNS!! How do you like my Sweet SODA POP Girl?? Isn't she suh-weet? I just LOVE how she looks, old fashioned, but, kinda not? I really like the SODA POP, that she has in her hand! You can't find them like that, too often, anymore! See.....I have to honestly admit........SODA POP? That is my weakness! Some of you do the whole chocolate thing? I have a SODA POP thing! However, where I live? It is NOT called SODA POP, we just say soda! I know some of you may refer to SODA POP as pop. Oh well, either way, this SWEET SHOPPE release? Is definitely filled with LOTS of SWEET images for all!! They will be available, AFTER, the party!! You can visit the party, thru the SASSY STUDIO DESIGNS BLOG!! That is where you will find ALL the deets!

Now, if you are following the WORD SEARCH path? Your next visit should be to the AWESOME, LINDSAY!! Yep....you heard right! You NEED to travel to see the SASSY artist herself!! I wish you luck on your quest and enjoy the party!! I will be traveling home from Myrtle Beach!! Hope you liked my Sweet SODA POP Girl! Go visit LINDSAY, by clicking on her name!! Have fun and ENJOY LIFE!!!

AN LYC CHALLENGE!

***POST #2!!!


SO sorry gals!! I do NOT have a card for the LYC challenge this week!! I had REALLY wanted to be more prepared, but,........I am not!!! This vacation is SO much different from our last! We usually only get to take ONE vaca!! However, this year we were fortunate enough to split the expenses, BOTH times, so we could afford (kinda) to go twice!!! Well....this second time? We are here with my sister and her family! My nephew is one and MY kids are loving it!! They are having SO much fun playing and such!! AND?.......I am having fun TOO, spending time with my sis!! Time gets away from you, ya know?? Last time we were here? I crafted, while the kids napped, and after they went to bed. This time.....we chat and at night we go out and then come home and watch movies!! SO.........I haven't had the chance to craft.......YET!!! Haha!! You know me!!
OK....so the LYC challenge for today is to create something with PINK and GREEN!!! The deal is that PINK AND GREEN SHOULD NEVER BE SEEN!!! In other words.....you rarely see pink and green together. SO....that is your LYC challenge!!! Be sure to visit the LYC CHALLENGE BLOG for MORE deets!! There is a FABULOUS prize up for grabs!! SO??? You will DEFINITELY want to join in the challenge!! Head over there NOW!! What are you waiting for!! I will have to come back and post my creation, here, once I complete it!! Thanks.... EVERYONE.... for visiting me, while I am on vacation!! I really appreciate it!! I LOVE to see ALL your comments!!! Have a GREAT day and I will see you later for an ANYA challenge!!! ENJOY LIFE!!!!
