Changes

There will be a lot of changes in my life in the next few months. At the risk of being crass, I'll be updating my blog with my personal issues as I'm ready to share them. Not to be melodramatic, but just to keep everyone posted without 2 million phone calls or individual emails.

For now, let me say just a few words...

...Friendship is a great source of strength. I am so lucky to have the friends I do, online and in real life. Thank you all for your support.

...Love is an ever-changing and growing emotion. I believe it to be the greatest of all emotions. All the decisions a person makes in life should be based in love.

...Being true to myself is harder than I thought it would be. Why is this?

Thanks for reading and sorry for being so cryptic.

Among the new items I uploaded just for this Celebration Week are the Hot Peppers Kit (formerly available at Elemental), the Hot Peppers Add-Ons, and Portable Play. I've included previews below for you. Just click on them for more info and descriptions in the Digitals Store.




I really hope that I'll be able to chat with a few of you in the chatroom. And hopefully, you'll see something that you like in my Digitals Store. If not my store, I'm sure you'll love the work of other Digitals designers as well. Have a great week and thanks for reading!

SC Aquarium and Fort Sumter

On May 2nd, I had the pleasure of being a chaperone for Kyle's 4th grade field trip to the SC Aquarium and Fort Sumter National Monument. What a day!


Since my parents still live in South Carolina, I thought it would be nice if my mom also came to help chaperone (my dad was working that day). Since we've always lived far away from them, it was really the very first field trip that Kyle was able to have his grandmother attend. We were lucky enough to have the very best of weather, not at all hot and with just enough sun and breeze to stay comfortable. It was so nice, especially while on Fort Sumter and the ferry out to it.


I've included a few of the pictures from that day, in no particular order. I'd like to say thank you to my mom for helping to chaperone and thanks to the boys for being on as- best- as- can- be- expected- 10-yr-old- boy behavior! LOL!
