Yesterday was my day to do a post on the Kenner Road blog.

I was totally inspired by this post that Gigi did last week and decided to do a layout inspired by quilts myself.
And I love how it turned out!

{all supplies-except the kraft-are from the April Kenner Road main kit & add-on kit}

I love Soup!

I actually really do like soup-preferably broccoli cheese & taco.

And potato soup is pretty good too.
Buuut that is not what I am talking about today.

I'm talking about Jillibean Soup!!
Yesterday was my day in the sun as their guest desinger over on their blog!
Any company that makes rad patterned kraft paper and corrugated cardboard alphas is way up there in my book!
I got to play with all kinds of new stuff including Old World Cabbage Stew, Egg Drop Soup, cool canvas flowers, new alpha stickers, and
i-can't-get-enough-of-these corrugated alphas!

And this is what I made with all that...

{i am making mad progress on Lindsay's baby book!}

So there you have it!
Fun stuff is that Jillibean Soup!
Be sure to keep your eye on their blog-they do a great job of posting fun new projects almost daily!

weird

see, today really is a weird day.

among other things, i did a blog post all about the fabulousness of Jillibean Soup about 1 hour ago.

then i go to the grocery store.

and i come back just now.

i check to see if there are any comments (bc comments from yall are so fun!).

and the post is gone.

weird.

i promise i did it.

oh well.

patience with me as i work on another one.

Redneck woman

Now I don't keep my Christmas lights on my front porch all year long.

And I don't know the words
to every Tanya Tucker song.
But I do participate in Talladega race weekend festivities twice a year.

Which by many people's standards would classify me as a redneck.

I can't really help it though.
I am from Mississippi.
I was born this way.
:)
And I am OK with that!
Because we always have a good ole time!
Even if my driver/boyfriend runs good all day & then tuckers out at the very end.

No worries, though!
We will be back in October to cheer him on again!

Yee haw!!

and they are out of here!

but i will keep you updated if i have any more stuff to give away!

2 more

I've got 2 more flat rate boxes stuffed full.

There's alot of paper in these.

And maybe an idea book or 2.

Want 'em??
Just email me & paypal me $10 for shipping and you can have one.

First come, first serve.

Email me!
:)
TGIF!!
