love is certainly all around
Thursday, April 27, 2006
Sometimes, it really amazes me how wonderful the digital community is. Take today for example. Didja know that today is Admin Professionals Day? Ok, certainly not in my country but somewhere in the world it is, and that's my point. We decided to celebrate the day, and what better way to do so than by honoring the absolutely wonderful admin team of RAKScraps! It was just awesome! Kim (vkimmycat) organized everything, and she got some of the creative team members to design kits so we can have one megakit, and we were all being sneaky about it so that the admin would be surprised. LOL!!! 'Twas so fun, and sweet thank you messages for the admin were just pouring from everywhere! Wow.
Ok, lemme show you the fabulous megakit...
Isn't it super??? And here's my contribution...
*sigh* I totally love RAKScraps. Lately, there's been not-so-good news on piracy and nasty emails being sent to such sweet people, and so today was a soothing balm to that ouchie. One of the members also made a terribly sweet card, thanking the elements team for the mega kits. Then there was a thread started by one other member thanking the RAKScraps team for such a wonderful site. Love is certainly all around over there, and I love it!
Enough sentimental mush! Lately, I've been quite obsessed with making digital bows and knots. In my past kits, I had to scan in a ribbon I made, but I was so hell-bent on making my own. LOL! I'm quite pleased with how they turned out, and I think it looks real, right? Yeah, it could do with some improvement so I gotta practice some more. hehe! I made this charm with the knotted ribbon from scratch, so quite proud of it, and it's in the megakit for the admin. Oh, by the way, if you want the kit, we're going to be donating it to Scrapdish so that we can use the proceeds to maintain RAKScraps. So if you have moolah to spare, please feel free to browse the Day Old Donuts section and splurge! LOL!!! You can find some of my stuff there too, so spread the love, ok?
Work has been driving me crazy lately, and will most likely send me to the looney bin in the next two weeks. We're increasing our capacity, which means I have to hire 25 people in two weeks. In two frigging weeks!!! I honestly don't know how I will manage without losing all my hair, but with our country business manager breathing down my neck, I have to pull it off. Then I also have to plan an anti-burnout party for our entire unit (which is about 220 people), then I also have to rollout another regional program by next week. Holy crap. Wish me luck, won't ya? I sure as hell need it.
Things aren't all roses with me and the tub of lard. I am, as you know, referring to my husband. Well, let me put it this way. Things aren't all roses with ME, but he seems oblivious to everything, so he's apparently just fine and dandy. *sigh* I refuse to make plans for our anniversary after his unenthusiastic response, and it doesn't seem to matter to him. I don't know. I'm going out tomorrow with my girlfriends at work, and I'm buying him an anniversary present. Will he even get me one? Again, I don't know. Maybe I'm being too melodramatic, and I know I tend to do that sometimes. This is bumming me out, so I'm changing topics. I like Mish's suggestion though in my previous post. If he doesn't get enthusiastic, I'll just kick him. LOL!!!
Hey, didja notice my blog's new look? I've had the old banner for sooo long and I felt the need to redecorate. I should do something about my avatar too. I've looked that way since February, for crying out loud. Audra has an ongoing avi challenge, and I am definitely doing that tonight. I need a change of wardrobe.
And THAT is my cue to end this post. Off to work on my avi. G'night, and please continue to spread the love, bellas!

I love the new look, Bob! I always feel the love over at RAK, that's why I hang around so much. ;)
I hope Mr.S gets his stuff together! Men!! My hubby is the same way about planning things - but after 5 years I have trained him to get me gifts whether he likes to or not. LOL!

Your ribbon knot is great! I guess you learned some things from last newsletter tutorial too, huh? What a fun tool that liquify thing is! I can't wait to see what you think 'better' looks like LOL!
Yes, you have to give this month's digicraft a whirl so I can send you my kit. I swear it will be easy as pie! Make a card on the computer, print it out, cut it out, and then fold it in half. If you can't do this one then you are seriously craft impaired ;) I'll give you that the post-it note was a bit on the more complicated side, but this one will not be, I promise! :D
