Weekly Wrap Up – April Fool’s Edition

April 1, 2012 by

*runs in and skids to a stop*
*flails wildly as new shoes stick onto the floor but the body keeps moving*

Oh hi!! Sorry, I’m little frantic today. I had this big idea to do a practical joke on y’all but you know what? I can’t.

I can’t be mean like that. I mean,who’d believe me if I told you that we had a new guest designer.

That there’s an awesome new buffet out.

That new jobs have been given out.

Oh, wait, that has happened :O

I’m the Team Lead for the Ad team. Oh holy something or other. That means, if the daily downloads are late, blame me. If something needs to be shared, contact me. Ach! What to do. I’m SO honored that Shannon asked me to do this so very important job. HOPEFULLY no one caught my mistake yesterday where I accidentally posted a post too early, 😆 I think I caught it in time, and made some changes to the permalink, so HOPEFULLY no one got it too soon 😀

So, that’s that news. 😀

Weekly Wrap-up: March 25, 2012

March 25, 2012 by

Um, okay, HI! Sarah here. I’m a little discombobulated. When the HECK did it become Sunday? Where did the week go? It fly by for anyone else? I think it flew by for us, here, because it was SPRING BREAK!!

Oh, and taking advantage of this AMAZING sale!!

Seriously! Go check it out! LOTS of awesome items. I almost cried when I saw a few things that were being cleaned out soon :’(

Whatcha getting?

Yes, I’m going to talk about this again! Remember, there’s a chat on Saturday!! 😀 I’m going to be participating for a bit, and then I’m gonna have to run for Girl Scouts. Our last official meeting until we have our Banquet. Minus camping and a troop trip.

Anyways, speaking of the chat, which brings up the forum, let’s go be nosy and see what big discussions are going on!

Do you know anything about online backup? HarmonyStar would really like your input on the best. She wants to be able to back-up her .zip & .exe files. Any suggestions?

As you know, book club is about the Hunger Games for March. So, the movie’s been officially released. Did you see it? Have plans? Share with us!

Okay, enough of that. Honestly, the gals really like to pull up the old threads, so there wasn’t a whole bunch of new, unless you count ones I did, and well, I feel weird pimping out my own threads, 😀 Anyone else feel like that?

Holy crap! I’m full of questions!! I’m going to just move on to Facebook! You did know Gingerscraps has a Facebook, right? You should check it out!! Why? Here! I’ll tell you why!!

Twin Mom Scraps has a freebie linked up. Pretty sweet right!

You can take a guess on the Mystery Designer! Who do you think created the template.

There I go asking those questions again! :O Man, what is up with that? Okay, shutting up now, before Shannon pulls the plug on my blogging gig!!

I hope you enjoyed the post, and found out something you hadn’t know that had happened the past week! See ya again next week!!

Weekly Wrap-Up: March 18, 2012

March 18, 2012 by

Sarah here!! How ya doing? I’m a little spread thin, I swear. Today, I have Girl Scouts. Second to last official meeting for that. I’m both sad and excited. After that, we have one more meeting, and THREE trips. I’m sadly only going on one of those. But Madison (my daughter) is going on all three. I’m excited for her.

Speaking of children (and excitement), and part of the reason I’m just spread out so thinly: March 17. Y’all know it as St. Patrick’s Day. Well, we know it as Oh Crap! He’s Aging Up! AKA, my son Ethan’s birthday. This year, he turned SEVEN. To celebrate, we bought a new car. Okay, that wasn’t really a celebration, but he got to see a Camaro, which made him happy, I think.

075/366 [2012] - Little Boy and His Dream

So, that’s what’s new with me. 😀 If anyone is paying attention, no, we didn’t buy the Camaro. We bought a 2011 Chevrolet Malibu. Program car, so GM-certified everything inside when it comes to maintenance, and 7500 miles, or so (a little more, but still *sweet*)

Weekly Wrap-up

March 11, 2012 by

Sarah here! How’d your week go? Mine was nuts and insane. I’m part of my local girl scout troop and they adore putting me to work. In case you didn’t know, this year marks the 100-year-anniversary of Girl Scouts. Can you imagine? 100 years? So, they’re hosting a week-long event in Washington, DC. Four out of eight of the juniors in our troop are going. $4000 for them to go (including their parents), and that’s with hiring a charter bus. :O CRAZY. So, we’re hosting fundraisers and the like. I’ve been helping.

Anyways, there’s a point to that tangent. I figured, since I’ve been doing SO much with Girl Scouts (and NOW Boy Scouts because of  my son), I’d share one of my go-to products, created by our own Connie Prince.


Perfect, right? I use it SO often. Well, okay, now onto the news around Gingerscraps!!

Discussions of the Hunger Games have started!! There are separate threads for Books 2 & 3 (Girl on Fire & Mockingjay), so you won’t get spoiled if you haven’t read Books 2 & 3. Come join us!! Give us your opinion on the books, the characters, the author. All that good stuff!!

ChristinaP wants to know if anyone is watching Survivor. I’m not personally, but if you are, join in with the chat. 😀

ChristinaP also found a thread on another Facebook saying “Digi isn’t real“. Several members really didn’t like hearing (well, reading that). What’s your opinion? What do you think of Digi? Hopefully if you’re reading this, you believe it’s real, and a lot of fun!!

It’s been a pretty quiet week all around. Now, it’s WAY late for me (lost an hour to Daylight Savings Time!! Did you?), and I’m hungry, so I’m going to just say “Ciao” and see you next week!!

Weekly Wrap Up

March 4, 2012 by

What does a busted phone and a sad Snickerdoodle have in common? Not much, actually. Just a little jealousy on my part that my husband got a new phone. He got an HTC Inspire. BIG upgrade from a basic texting dumphone (Samsung Impression). I had to resist adding the Gingerscraps app to it.

What? You didn’t know that Gingerscraps has an Android app? Well, they do!! They have one for the iPhone (or other such devices) and for Windows 7 phones!

Sweet, right? Reminds me that I need to get onto someone about updating this ad! Windows 7 is available!

Other news? What? Really? You still want to hear me?

Oh geeze! I’m turning into Shannon! *hides*

On the Facebook page, Jacque wonders what everyone did on Monday. Personally, I was in bed. Sinuses. Blech! Anyone else abhor them?

On the forum, Jen, of Jen Yurko Designs, asked which app to use: Forum Runner or Tapatalk for her Droid. As a future owner of an Android (I’m getting the same one as my husband Open-mouthed smile). Looks like BOTH are getting good reviews. For Windows users: I suggest Board Express.

Speaking of Android apps, I posted, looking for the BEST apps for Android. I’m an app girl. I like to make everything all me and personal. I can do that with apps!!

Now, it’s March. Yeah, it’s March already. Where did February go?

How did you do with the challenges? Yeah, I didn’t do too well. Goal for March for me personally is to do at least four of them!!

One I’m definitely trying is the Technique Challenge. Selective coloring, basically, is what you’re learning. Plus, there’s an ADORABLE kitty in the thread!! I swear I heard it purr at me!

Another one I’m going to attempt to do is the FONT CHALLENGE!!

Considering a certain popular show on ABC, this font is PERFECT for that. Anything related to reading or something! Hey, you could use the new BUFFET on it!! The Reading Room!

I can’t wait to see what you do!!

 

March’s book is The Hunger Games!! Join us for discussions starting March 07, and an unscheduled at the moment chat at the end of the month!

Before I forget!!

You still have a day or so!! Go check it out!!

Well, I think that’s about it!! If you have anything you think should be brought forth for a weekly round-up on Gingerscraps, give me a holler on Gingerscraps (I’m Sarah on there)! I’ll see what I can do!!

What’s Going On Around Gingerscrap? Week of Feb. 19

February 19, 2012 by

Hi! Sarah here! I’m new to the blogging/ad team of Gingerscraps! I’m not new to the whole team, though. I’m part of Creations by Julie & Pretty in Green’s CTs. I’m also part of the store CT. So, when I say I love GS, I think it’s pretty obvious!!

Starting this week, and hopefully each and every Sunday, I’m going to give a run-down on what’s been happening at Gingerscraps for the past week. That means the Facebook & at the forum itself 😀

So, we’ll start with a few of the challenges that are happening.

A new template challenge has started. This half of the month is hosted by JoyLynn of Blue Heart Scraps. The template is just gorgeous!

Awesome, right? Make sure you check out the challenge!

We also have the awesome hybrid challenge. Hybrid has become a big thing around the digi-scrap world! Enough so that even Gingerscraps had to create a hybrid CT :O Pretty cool right! This month’s hybrid challenge is all about the love notes! [Read more…]
