GRAB BAG Goodness!

(I will update on Pip's bday and other things later, I only have a few seconds before Art class)



Don't miss my Grab Bag - July in the store at Digital Freebies You never know what you might find. Could be kits, elements, alphas, templates, quickpages, who knows???? (well my CT does, but they're sworn to secrecy LOL). Available only untl 7/30, then the contents will be revealed and at their regular prices!

Happy Birthday Piper! And other stuff too!

Sigh.... my baby girl turns 2 today! YAY!! *SOB* It's one of those bittersweet moments. I am so glad that she is growing up, she is so happy, so talkative, such a joy (unless she's kicking me in the face before naptime... but I'm happy today, so mood-congruent memories and all that, she's a peach!), yet at the same time turning 2 means one year closer to school, one year closer to not wanting to cuddle any more, one year closer to not being a baby any more. NOW I understand why people have more kids. But I keep telling myself, no matter how many I have, they will ALL grow up. So I'm focusing my energy on living in the NOW with Piper, not focusing on who she was, or who she will be. But keeping my eye on that little ball of light right now.

So a big raucous HAPPY BIRTHDAY PIPER is in order! Yippeee Hooray! And what better way to celebrate my monkey-girl's birthday than with a SALE, right? LOL



Whooo hooo! Link over to DSD on the right there.

Let's see, I also have a TON of new stuff in the stores today





AND! since it was such a rousing success, I am having another brag book swap, with my latest collection Juicy.





Scrap a 6x4" 300ppi layout with any pieces or parts of my Juicy kits, delete out the photo area(s) all the way through all of the layers, so you are left with a transparent hole in the layout. Save as a png file, and email it to me at maria@marialafrancedesigns.com Deadline for submissions is July 31st!

OK, off to Gymboree with the Birthday Girl!

OMG - ROFLMAO
