Starting things out

So, Tracy here! I thought I'd add in a tid-bit today on what's been going on around here. The weather is getting terribly colder than it should ever be here in Florida in my opinion. We are bundling up in the morning and slowly shedding clothes throughout the day and just when we thought it was comfortable again, the sun begins to set and we start piling back on the clothes and blankets. Boo. What's cold weather if you still don't get any snow? (I may be digging a hole for myself.) Bela, my four year old, is still dead set on swimming outside this weekend. Hmmm, can we say the sniffles? She swears it's not cold no matter how many items of clothing I place on her and she decides to remove. You couldn't get my big fat toe in that water, and that's on a good day!

In mist of all our bundling, Danielle Designs has placed her NEW, might I add, additions to her store together in their own little sweet package for a limited time and put them on sale at http://www.scrapoutsidethebox.com/.

The template package includes Fun with Shapes, Bracket Explosion, and Snow Easy and is now on sale making each template only 50 cents!

I also wanted to share with you my sister Dani's silly little

hamster and the challenge she is hosting this month at

http://www.scrapoutsidethebox.com/. The tricks of the trade challenge to be exact. If you notice, our dear little Marshmallow now has a cute little bow tie, all due to adding layer masks.

You can view her tutorial on how to accomplish this here in the forum under this little guy's photo.

If you would like to participate in this challenge she definitely has a great posting bonus to go along with the site's theme for this month, IMAGINATION. Here are the two posting bonus she's made, one for the tricks of the trade challenge and the other the Map of Me challenge.
