Fresh Baked – April 20, 2012

April 20, 2012 by Sarah

*waves frantically* Hi! New person doing the newsletter. Shannon has moved onto another adventure. We’ve been promised that we’ll still see her in the forums from time to time, so I’m excited to see what life has in store for her! I’m taking over most of the writing stuff for the newsletter, the blog, and that good stuff.

Oh, darn it! I didn’t introduce myself, did I? I’m Sarah! I’m officially Ginger’s “Left Hand” 😀 That’s the little joke going around between the admins. A couple of them, I think, are her feet. She’s definitely the queen. Anyways, off-track here. You’ll find that I do that often. Anyways! (another thing I’ll do often) I’m Sarah. I’m a Hoosier-native (Indiana, USA, for those confused), formerly of Florida, and now in Kansas. Well, I’ve been here for eight years in July. Wow. I’m married to a local mail carrier, and we have two amazing kids.

I’ve been digi-scrapping for forever it seems. I’ve actually been around since the inception, or pretty close, of Gingerscraps, so I’m so glad to see it prospering and succeeding so well!

First off, time for the reveal of the Mystery Designer.

This Week’s Sneak Peeks

April 19, 2012 by Sarah

In case you didn’t notice, this isn’t Beth posting. Sadly, Beth and her son are super duper sick with a stomach bug. Eww and poor things! So, I’m covering for her today!

Usually, there’s a little post in the forum, as well, but some have fallen asleep :O and haven’t posted much. I’m just kidding. I’m just a little super special and have access to the other layouts 😀

Kit is by Inspired Designs
