My New Favorite Font and the winner of Yesterday's RAK

I am so excited!! I finally took the plunge and had Darcy Baldwin at Sweet Shoppe Designs create me my very own custom handwriting font. I think that it is so cool that I can now journal in my own handwriting and it only cost me a meer $10.

Here is a sample:

I really recommend this to anyone that does any type of journaling on their pages and would like to personalize it just a bit more. Darcy's store can be found at Sweet Shoppe Designs and she even has a cursive option.

Yesterday I posted a sneak peak of the newest and most fabulous kit by FruitLoOp Sally, "Welcome to Sarahville." Well, this kit is now in the store at Inspiration Lane. Here is the preview:

And here are some pages that were made with the kit:

Be sure to check this kit out in the store at Inspiration Lane (http://www.inspiration-lane.com/boutique/product.php?productid=16920)

And finally - I promised a RAK of this kit to one person that left a comment for me yesterday. That winner is Lena Brandenburg. Congrats Lena! I have PM'd you the coupon code and I hope that you have fun with the kit!!

I've been challenged

Yep - two girls have sent me this challenge now so I am following through on it. The challenge is to go into your photo files. Find your 6th file, and the 6th pic in the file...and blog about it.

Here's my pic:

This picture was taken with my old crappy digital camera but I still love the picture. It was taken in the summer of 2005, Carter was 3 years old and I took him to his first Twins baseball game along with my sister, brother, and sister-in-law. This was the summer that my DH lived apart from us in Oshkosh while I stayed back in Mankato to sell the house and find myself a job. Well, needless to say, my DH wasn't all that happy that I took Carter to his first game. That was something that he wanted to be a part of and was disappointed that he missed out. Ooops!

And while I am blogging today - I have a little sneak peak of a new kit that FruitLoOp Sally will have in her shop at Inspiration Lane on Wednesday (1/28).

And here is a page the I made with it:

The kit is awesome and is filled with whimsy and cute elements and I have been given the opportunity to give one away. So, if you have made it this far in my post, leave me a comment and I will choose a winner on Wednesday morning. Be sure to let me know what your username is so that I can PM if you win.

FOBTY – 1/22/08 – Cupcakes

Cupcakes. Not so great of a subject when you are trying to lose weight, however, this is the subject of the Sweet Shoppe Designs blog challenge today and I will do *almost* anything for a challenge point.

So, what’s my favorite cupcake? Hmmmm, I don’t make or eat cupcakes all that much. (I know *Gasp* what’s wrong with me?) But if I had to choose, I would probably choose chocolate with chocolate frosting. Not too fancy, but I guess that’s just how I am. Or maybe it’s because I haven’t ventured out in the world of cupcakes enough to know any better.

You Are a Discount Shopper

You love to get things as cheaply as possible. You live for sales. It's partially because you like to save money, but it's also because you like the thrill of finding a fabulous deal. Of all the types, you tend to shop frequently but rarely by. You keep an eye on prices. Brand names are not that important to you. You know how to have style without collecting designer tags.

What Kind of Shopper Are You?

Your Snow Test Says You're Independent

You feel like something good will happen to you in the next few weeks. You have an amazingly strong work ethic. You are likely to be very successful in life. You are an independent, individualistic person. You thrive when you're doing your own thing. Your biggest worry in life is your family. You stay up at night thinking about them. When it comes time to relax, you have no problem letting go. You are already pretty relaxed as is!

The Snow Test
