I recently finished my first decent digiscrap kit called "Let It Snow". I'm giving away the wordart for free today. Click on the picture to download. The green background is for perspective only. The file is a png. Thanks for supporting my first giveaway. Hopefully there will be more to come.
I found this site through my friend's mom's blog called thecutestblogontheblock.com. I thought I'd give creating my own background a try. I used a kit called Limeaide by Summer Driggs. What do you think of the new background?
Monarch butterflies were everywhere. They usually come around the first of October when my frostweed blooms. They can't get enough of the stuff. I took some video, but it was dusk and the footage wasn't good. I haven't had any success with the Monarchs laying eggs in the garden, but I really enjoy them stopping by for a drink. :)

I was weeding my butterfly garden, and, boom, out of nowhere a wasp stung me through my glove! The good news is I think my immunity to the suckers is building b/c my reaction is minimal-just some swelling and throbbing. I know some people whose whole arm would swell. I love butterfly gardening, but the same plants that attract butterflies attract every stinging insect on this planet. And since you're supposed to protect the caterpillars, pesticides are out of the question. Wasp and yellow jackets love to eat my baby caterpillars too. Darn you wasps and yellow jackets!
My HP 9800 came today. Yeehaw! Like I said earlier, I found a good deal on this wide format wonder on Ebay. Of course, after my purchase, I decided to read the reviews. I always do that; buy first--read reviews later. The reviews were awful. I'm happy to report mine is working beautifully without any kinks. I printed off some Fourth of July part invites, pics of my son, and a digiscrap page (12X12). Everything turned out awesome. I'm excited about being able to print out my digiscrap pages now. I also have some plans for ubercool birthday cards. Did I mention the ink cartridges are ten dollars cheaper than my old Epson's? Most of the people who complained about it on Ebay were trying to use it for their businesses. I can see how a cheaper wide format HP would not be a great choice for high volume printing. It seems like you'd need one of those huge printing press like machines to do that kind of job. Anyway, I am happy for now creating digital masterpieces in GIMP and playing with my new printer.
