"people all round the world, join hands, start a love train,"

Welcome to the First Digi Scrap Connect Blog Train. This blog train is comprised of 24 fabulous designers who have been participating in the Design Factor Challenge the last 5 weeks. We decided to have fun with it and turn it into a great Blog Train and thus Flowers, Ribbons, and Strings Oh My!! the blog train was born. We hope you have fun collecting the great mini kits. If you get lost along the blog train, just return to Digi Scrap Connect to find the list of all participants.

Here's my mini kit Ship Shoes. Grab it now, before I expand it into a full kit and put it in my very first store (I'm a bit excited about this, can you tell.)

Here's the list of all the participants if you've gotten lost, or like me, you like to start at the bottom, ;)

"how hard it is to make it look so easy"

I've got Rascal Flatts stuck in my head.  It's pretty funny cause J is going to Flatts Fest next month, but she hates country music.  I've been playing them ever since I heard she and her friends got tickets.

I've actually started a new album, Songbirds to both record the little things this year and show off my complete obsession with music.  Here's what I got so far:

"i dropped a quarter in the jukebox and played that girl a tune"

Been super busy between work (yay for everyone taking vacations in the summer so I get extra hours!) and the Design Factor competition, but I did come up with this one for the Iron Scrapper competition over at Scrap Orchard:

I had to squeeze seven seashells into it. Lots of fun. Although when I print this, I really should see if I can do something about those photos. Yuck.

And one more for that competition:

I have to admit, this is pretty much me playing around like whoa. These elements were just asking for it thought, lol.

I'm going to Boston for the week (I've got a conference there) so here's wish you all well.
