The August Grab Bag is here!! Better late than never, right? ;)

This grab bag is available from August 26th - August 30th (midnight EST) 2008, so don't miss your chance to get 6 full-sized, all new alphas/ element packs/mini kits for a little more than the price of one! I hope you like what you find in it!

Keep an eye on my CT gallery and my own for some more layouts created with this grab bag!

After the grab bag is revealed all items contained in it will go in my store individually priced, which would usually add up to over $20!

Please click on the detailed images in the store and see some layouts done with the bag!

If you would like to be alerted of new products and grab bags when they are released, AND get previews for my grab bags, please sign up for my newsletter here on the blog - scroll down the side bar for the sign up box. I always send out sneak peak previews for my subscribers :)

Back by Popular Demand




We had initially decided to disable the Deal of the Day category @ Scrapbookgraphics because there was occasionally some misunderstanding about how long a "deal" should be left in the category. But we had enough customers asking where the Deal of the Day went, that we are heartily bringing this category back for your convenience! We know you don't have time to search every Studio for the best deals, and I think most of you get that the "day" is somewhat loosey-goosey since we're on internet time! We will do our best to make sure the category stays fresh weekly, though, so check in often to see what amazing discounts the Studio Girls have in store for you! And thank you to everyone that gave us feedback about the Deal of the Day! We really appreciate it!
******************************************************************
And I just put my "Sweet Summers End" Kit and the "Sweet Summer's End" Bragbook in there for 50% and 55% off! So don't miss out!!

Sorry, I've been a bit scarce! We are so insanely busy trying to get the house move in ready. Progress is a little slower than anticipated, but it's shaping up quite nicely! But it's going to be a while before everything is said and done on this move, that's for sure! But we might as well get it right BEFORE we move all our stuff in! I think I just had a lot of "buts" there lol

Our "babies" had their first days at the montessori school this week too. Well, it wasn't even a day, it was just two hours, Mo-Wed, but they officially started their life in school this week!
They totally loved it and I think Anna told me pretty much everything they did and quoted everything her teacher said lol
Max just told me what his teacher's name was and that he like going to school *awwww*
On some level I think that they are oh so ready for this next step and truth be told, so am I, but on the other I feel like we only just brought them home from hospital last month :o

Other than that we spent some of yesterday evening at urgent care. Max apparently climbed out of his bed and wasn't so good on the dismount or got caught on something, fell and smacked with his head into the tile floor. I just heard this almighty BANG and then the screaming.
Usually Max shakes these kind of things quite well but not on this one (he has a pretty high pain threshhold.) He cried and cried and clung to me and kept on whimpering that his head hurt. He wouldn't let go, or sit up or walk and even after he stopped crying he seemed quite lethargic, only wanting to hang off of me and not moving much. This is of course nothing like Max. Not even letters could get him interested (TOTALLY NOT LIKE MAX) He was also looking quite pale with a shade of green, so of course I was thinking concussion. I gave him some homeopathic stuff for head trauma and he did perk up a bit after a while and he agreed to have some juice and lay in bed cuddling his blankets.

A while later he did run around and seemed ok, but still quite pale. If nothing else I know he got quite the fright, but at this point I just wanted to be sure he didn't actually concuss even though he didn't show any signs of it any more. You should see what our tile floor does to a jam jar when it falls on it, so we needed to make sure his head was still in one piece! Ian had made it home from work by then and we went to urgent care.

We got seen relatively quickly for urgent care but not quick enough with 2 toddlers *roll eyes* The doctor examined him pretty thoroughly, asked many questions and thought he was going to be just fine! Max has acted completely normal ever since but I don't think I'll completely rest until the 24 hrs are over. The listless thing he had going on after the fall is just not like Max. He seems his usual happy self this morning though. I am however really tired from not getting much sleep ... again lol
Man, I hate head trauma stuff ... it's just so unpredictable *grrr*
But right now it seems that Max will be just fine, so that's great!

Scrapping wise I have also been working on a grab bag for you! It'll be out first week of September some time, depending on when we'll have internet access at the new place!
Oh and the new SBG collab is due out on Sept 1st and I have to tell you ... it's an absolute beauty! It's called "Impressions of Serendipity". And Becky posted a little sneak peak on the SBG blog. I've seen some more contributions since and it just seems to get more and more awesome! So do keep an eye out for that too!

So, as of 1:30 this afternoon my time, the house is officially ours!! YAY!!!!
After all these months of waiting it seem quite unreal! But I'm sure the reality of it will set in soon enough once we're fixing and painting both houses (gotta get our old and very small house ready so we can rent it out!!)

And the prodigal blogger has returned!
Let's see if I can update you all really quickly on the madness that is my life!
We are FINALLY in the process of closing on a house (3 months after first making an offer on it,) which of course means that I am up to my eyeballs in boxes!
It'll all go pretty fast once we close, so I may not be around much. It looks like most of August will be taken up with painting and repairing the new house, moving and unpacking etc. And then we'll be back to do up the old house for rental, since there is no way we'd be able to sell it in this market right now! Keep your fingers crossed that we find some good renters quick, please!
In other news ... my "babies" are starting pre-school on August 18th - can you believe that?? On some level I can't! On another I know it really is time and they are more than ready for it! Is Mommy ready? Ah well that remains to be seen. They will only go for 2 hrs, 3 days a week initially, so there will be lots of easing in for Mommy! ;)
There are lots of changes coming up for the kiddos - between moving and preschool they will have to deal with a lot of adjustments! Since neither of them are in their most flexible phase right now, it could turn out to be quite a challenge! But currently I am fully prepared to make this an exciting adventure for them and hope for the best!

Speaking of Mommy! Rachel, my friend and CT member (remember the black pregnancy LO a few posts down) had her little Maxwell Wednesday night! Congratulations Rachel and Doug and welcome to the world little Maxwell!
Speaking of Maxwells lol - Meredith Fenwick had McLovin too and named him Maxwell! Congrats Mere and welcome to the world Maxwell!

And my mom is turning 60 today! Happy birthday MOM!!

And last but not least! I have quite a few new releases coming out next week, so keep an eye open! There's lots of fun stuff coming and as always the first few release days will have a great discount!

So I'll leave you with this little video - tissue alert, but if you want a happy cry, watch this - gets me every time!

So, that's it from us in a nutshell! Hope you are all enjoying your summer!
Happy Scrapping!
