Happy Friday!!  I’m sitting here trying to figure out what to talk to you about.  The weather is nice but boring.   I mean that is the “safe” topic to go to when you are at a dinner party and you know you can’t mention politics or religion.  I was asking a friend of mine what I should write about it and hit me.  My friends live in my computer.  Sure I have friends in the real world.  Friends I see when I pick the kids up from school or when I drop them off.  Friends that I talk to at school events, but honestly for the most part, my best friends live in my computer.  Then I got to thinking, I think I met most of my online friends at one place.  GingerScraps.  Cheesy?  Yes for sure.  But seriously though, have you looked in our forums or in our gallery?  All layouts in our gallery get comments because we love having you with us.  Our forums are active because we love talking to you and each other.

To show you how much we do appreciate each and every one of you we have added another welcome wagon kit to the store.  This week’s kit is from Craft-tastrophic.  Make sure you are signed into the forum and the kit is yours!

As with every friendship, sometimes you have to do what is best for your friend even though it may make you sad.  For Ginger and I this is happening today.  Today is Little Green Frog Design’s last day.  We are so truly sad to see her leave but do understand that sometimes you have to cut back to have more free time.  Don’t be too sad because for today (Friday) only you can get Andrea’s store for 25% off.  Please hurry and get everything you can because come tomorrow it will be all gone.

Try not to be too sad though because there is a fun sale going on right now too.  Happy Anniversary Pretty in Green!

Let’s keep the happiness going and show you some amazing new products from our friendly designers.  Remember that if you spend $10 in the store you get a free grab bag by Pixels by Jen.

First up is our incredibly talented guest.  I can’t tell you how happy Jen Yurko is here with us.  Our team just flips when she posts her new designs in the forum.  I’m sure you all do.  This week’s new releases won’t disappoint either.  These first few are exclusive to GingerScraps!

We treasure your friendship completely and hope you have a great week!

I’m back!  Did you miss me?  I missed you guys that was for sure.  Our vacation was perfect though.  The kids had a blast, the mountain views (in NH) were beautiful, and the shopping was fun.  We did so much up there but really the most fun was just looking at the mountains.  Gosh they were stunning.  Mother Nature just amazes me sometimes.  The worst part about all of this was coming home to the piles and piles of laundry.  Why can’t vacation end with a clean house and no laundry to come home to.

It was great seeing the designers hard at work that is for sure.  I can’t wait to show you all the neat stuff they have to offer.  Can I just say for a minute though – Jen Yurko?  Seriously?  Jen is here with us for the month?  How lucky are we!  Would you like to see her exclusive to GingerScraps goodies?
