Ice Cream test, this is so not me either, but apparently I am a conservative ice cream eater (even though its my biggest weakness):

Your Ice Cream Personality:

You are an incredibly modest person. You don't feel comfortable bragging about yourself... or even receiving complements. You are incredibly cautious. You rather miss out on something than make a mistake. No one would ever call you wild... but they would call you responsible. You are a somewhat open minded person, but deep down you're fairly conservative. You don't like trying new things very much. And if you do find something new you like, you stick with it. You tend to have a one track mind. You prefer not to multitask. You are fun loving and sweet. You tend to enjoy joking around and teasing people.

Hope you all have a great week!

Vampires and stuff

I am totally addicted to Twilight. I finished the series today. What good books. I took a vampire quiz for Sweet Shoppe, but they go with the traditional vampire myths, not the reality of Twilight. ;) I could be a Twilight vampire, though of course, I always prefered Jacob.

You Could Not Be a Vampire

Sorry, but you're not just cut out for flesh eating, turning into a bat, and living forever. But that's okay. The sight of blood turns your stomach... without even thinking of drinking it. And while you definitely would never be a vampire, you're exactly the type of frail prey Dracula wannabe's crave. Maybe it's time to arm yourself with a cross and some nasty garlic breath! What you would like best about being a vampire: The raw power (though you wouldn't admit it to anyone) What you would like least about being a vampire: The whole killing thing

Could You Be a Vampire?

Random Stuffs

First, I took another quiz for Sweet Shoppe Points. Here's what mine says:

You Are 59% Real

You're pretty real with people, but you can't help hiding a good part of yourself. You're not truly happy with who you are at times... and believe it or not, it shows. Try not to hide parts of your life from the people who matter to you. Your friends and family are probably a lot more accepting than you realize!

How Real Are You?

On to Sunshine News:
First, Ellie & Vasco's colab got delayed so tonight is the real release day. Head over tonight and check out their chat.

Kiki has a pretty new kit out:


The Sunflowers (the group of girls who were getting design help from the Sunshine Girls) are now live in the store! Check them out HERE

Kristi also has a fun new kit in the stores:


So head on over to Sunshine Studio Scraps and check out all the fun new stuff in store!

Lots of Stuff

First, I am back from south Texas and kind of wishing I was still there. I had way too much fun there and on top of it all, I came back to crappy weather. What the hell, its only been in the 60s the last few days. Come on, how is it possible to drop over 30 degrees in a day. It hurts.

I have been totally slacking on my designing with being gone for over 2 weeks. I need to get back on top of things. I am running a 65% off sale through Friday night though to celebrate Labor Day and my return home. Link to the right. :)

I took the Crayola quiz about knowing my crayons. I named all 64 crayons with only 44 mistakes. lol Its says I am a Color Genius. I really sucked at the kid's choice ones. Too random for me. Take the quiz HERE

On to Sunshine News:


There will be a partcipation prize. Check it out HERE

Amanda has a new kit out (and I just used it myself!):




That's it for now!

SSD FOB2Y

I am back home finally and ready to get back into my scrapping! Yay. Here's a little quiz I did for Sweet Rewards. I am surprised I scored that high. lol

Your Common Spelling Mistake Score: 70% Correct

Your spelling is decent, but you do make quite a few mistakes. Let's just say you won't be winning a spelling bee anytime soon!

Do You Make Common Spelling Mistakes?

New Sunshine Products & Accents

First, lets talk accents. I took a little quiz and it hit the nail on the head. lol

What American accent do you have?

Your Result: North Central

"North Central" is what professional linguists call the Minnesota accent. If you saw "Fargo" you probably didn't think the characters sounded very out of the ordinary. Outsiders probably mistake you for a Canadian a lot.

The West

The Midland

Boston

The Inland North

The South

Philadelphia

The Northeast

What American accent do you have?
Quiz Created on GoToQuiz

Second, Kiki at the Sunshine Studio has a few really great basic paper packs for sale. Check them out, she also has them in green & tans, too!

New Product at SSS!

Claudi at the Sunshine Studio has a new kit out and its so cute!

Grease & Sorry

First, I know I promised a new kit soon, but I hit a roadblock. I got stuck in the final stages and really need to get back into it and finish my half. I am sure Crystal would appreciate that since hers is done and fabulous a while ago.

Second, I took a Grease quiz. I love that movie, but it as been so long since I watched it that I only got 10 out of 15 correct. Opps! lol It still said I 'know the movie'. It is a great classic. Just wish it had told me which I got wrong.

Happy

First, isn't that Flergs freebie I linked to gorgeous! Oh, I just love her stuff. Second, I wanna talk about a LO that makes me happy just looking at it. Most of my LOs make me happy or I want to laugh cause I am remembering when I took the picture(s) of my son, he's so stinkin' cute and so much fun. This one is great cause it was so funny that my son wanted to wear his water wings to supper one night. He was so upset when we passed by the pool and didn't go in. He just loves to swim. Here's the LO: (credits: Credits: template by Missy Strand, everything else is Sherrie Piegdon's Christine's Seaside Escape available at www.pixelgypsydesigns.com)

Pretty New Blog, Music & Wonder Girls Stuff

First, what do you all think of the new blog look? Pretty, huh? Thanks to Wendy for her help in getting all the side links up. Do you like the colors? Do you like the look? Its a sneaky peek of the colab Crystal and I are working on, it will be up in my store in the next couple of days. Wednesday at the latest. :) Look for Frozen Tangerine soon!

Second, my Sweet Shoppe Points, what kind of music am I, well, apparently classical. lol

You Are Classical Music

You are a somewhat serious person who enjoys studying subjects deeply. Art of all kinds interests you, and a good piece of art can really effect you emotionally. You are inspired by human achievement, and you appreciate work that takes years to accomplish. For you, the finer things in life are not about snobbery - they're about quality.

What Kind of Music Are You?

Third, tomorrow starts Sunshine Wonder Week for July! Yay! Head over to the Sunshine Blog to find all the links to the Wonder Girls' blogs to find a bunch of freebies! Don't forget all our fun activities starting tomorrow at the Sunshine Studio!

Summer Jobs

So I was thinking about maybe going back to work. My dream job would be to have a photography studio in my home. It would be so fantastic. My favorite job as a kid was when I worked at K-Mart. I had so much fun and met so many good friends there, I even met my high school sweetheart there. How could you not love a job then? The funny thing is his first weeks there, he kept constantly messing up and I thought he must be stupid. Who knew he would be my first love and someone I could always dream about again? Sweet innocence in first love.

Favorite Trips

Its summer around here and I am dreaming of vacations since I won't be going on one. I would love to go visit my best friend/cousin in South Carolina and get some pictures of Nicholas on the beach. If I was really dreaming though, I would love to tour Europe and just take weeks traveling around. There is so much there I would love to see. So anyone have any vacations they would like to go on?

SSD Our Blog to Yours

My latest SSD blog post. lol

What Your These Fireworks Say About You

You are focused, single minded, and intense. You don't let others see your intensity often, and when they do, they are quite surprised. You burn brightly, but you also burn steadily. You have the endurance to get the one thing you desire most.

The Fireworks Test

This blog should be looking good here fairly soon with help from the fabulous Neverland Scraps (Wendy).

My Fridge

Did I say I was gonna update this thing more than just for SSD points? lol I am working on a new kit though and hope to finish it soon, so I will post that. Don't forget about the coupon code in the Insider! Save 50% off my designs!

What Your Fridge Says About You

You like to be surrounded by things you love. You aren't exactly greedy, but you can be materialistic at times. You are not careful with your money. In fact, you rarely think about how much you are spending. You don't tend to be a very adventurous person, but you do surprise everyone now and then. You have a bit of a wild side. You are responsible, together, and mature. You act like an adult, even when you don't feel like it. You are likely to be married - and very busy.

What Do the Contents of Your Refrigerator Say About You?

SSD Our Blog to Yours

I really should update a bit more often then when I am doing the Sweet Shoppe from our blog to yours posts. lol Today they want to know about our favorite summer activities. For us, Nicholas and I love to go to the zoo (good thing we have a membership), go for walks, go to the park and run around in the yard. This year Nicholas got a water table and he has his wading pool and we are looking for a sandbox, but its been so cold here that we haven't gotten any use out of the outdoors stuff. Warm up, Weather! I am so sick of this rainy, cold, very non-summer weather.

SSD Blog to Your Blog

My nerd score, guess I am not very nerdy. lol

Coupon Code!

Do you want to save 50% off all my products? Well, Digi Scrap Station is featured in the June Digi Shop Talk Insider. We are on the second page of advertisements on the top of the page.

Dream Vacations for SSD

The Sweet Shoppe girls want to hear all about our dream vacations. So here is mine: I would love to tour Europe. I want to go to so many countries there. I think it would be great to take like 6 weeks and just travel and spent time there, go with the flow. Some countries I want to see are Ireland, England, Finland, Germany, Czech Republic, Holland, Austria, Spain, Portugal, Italy and Greece. I am sure there are many more I would love to see, too.
