Doing an Irish Jig

As 2012 comes to a close - I am putting on my dancing shoes!  I have officially completed my Project 366.  The final few layouts are already in my "to be printed" folder ready to be printed and added to my album.

Here are the last two weeks (okay one week and two days)

p.s. - I have a new facebook freebie featuring "pink" - my youngest daughter's favorite color  - go check it out.

Wishing you and your family a Blessed New Year.  May 2013 be the best ever....by the Shore.

P366 - Caught Up (Happy Dancing)

This time of the year gets ever so busy - I spent today catching up on my Project 366 while watching a few of my favorite Christmas movies - such a good feeling to add so many layouts to my "to be printed" folder.

Phew - Life is good!

While "by the Shore designs" has closed up shop at NDISB, My Memories and Scrap Take Out; I still have a few of my more popular digital scrapbooking kits available on Etsy (and will be adding more in the coming days).

I am excited about 2013.  I plan on taking a bit more time for myself and my family ~ and more time in the Word and daily devotionals.  I am also looking forward to dabbling in a few more scrapbooking related activities in 2013 - including "One Little Word" and the "Art Journaling Caravan".  I will have digital freebies periodically and will add a few new collections to my Etsy store as the year progresses.

Project 365 will continue as well.  2013 will be my 5th year with this project. (yay)   My "twist" this year is that all of my pictures will be taken using my camera phone - not my DSLR or any other traditional camera.  I am still working out the logistics on how to print and publish them (but I have a few days to figure that out - right?)

Wishing each of you a blessed Christmas and a very Happy New Year.  Love on your family and friends - giving extra hugs.  Perform random acts of kindness and spread that love wherever you go.

"See" you in 2013....by the Shore.

Taking a Break - and a Sale!

Greetings on this beautiful first day of December.  Where have the last 11 months gone - 2012 is flying by  - in the blink of an eye. And as it has flown by, I have realized that in this season of my life, my family needs me a bit more.  After some careful soul searching, I have decided to take a break from designing for stores so that I can better support and 'love on' my family.  This has been a difficult decision for me as I LOVE designing and am tickled that so many of you are able to use my collections in your scrapbooks to preserve your own family memories. In addition to more family time, I am anxious to find a little more "me" time - time to grow in my design skills (not giving up designing completely), time to explore other crafty opportunities (like mixed media), time to workout and take care of the physical me, and time to simply enjoy all of the blessings that surround me.  

The good news for you is the opportunity to purchase my current kits and collections at a deep discounted price - now through December 14th.  60% off! 

At Scrap Take Out - the sale price is already established for you (the discount will appear in your cart at checkout)   At MyMemories, simply use the discount code Shore60 at checkout (this is a one use per customer coupon code).  

I will still be blogging and sharing periodically. I will continue to offer my more popular collections on ETSY along with an occasional new one.  And I will be sure to participate in blog hops and facebook hops once in a while.  Thank you for your support...now go have fun and shop in my stores.

Blessed beyond measure...by the Shore.
