all the little stories

I’m in total shock… my face is on the front page of DST this month.

I’m so honored to have been asked to be their Featured Designer. It was a last minute opportunity that popped up and I was able to accept (I stepped in to help another designer who’s been having some serious real life issues… and I really hope she’s okay! I haven’t heard what’s up, but I’m guessing it’s serious…).

I shared this on the Paperie blog. Here’s a little peek at what I created for the Gold Members this month (click to see the whole preview at DST):

I really hope that people like it! It came together so fast that I feel really nervous about it. I kept going back to look at the preview again and again—LOL! I just like to feel settled in my own mind that what I’ve made is the best thing that I can make before I release it to the world—and this kit was just a whirlwind. WHOOSH!

In other news…

It’s getting to be baby crunch time! My official estimated due date is only 13 days away now. I do feel like every day I’m a little more ready. Walking is not fun anymore. It’s a little like “waddle, ow, waddle, ow, waddle.” So, I’m guessing the baby’s down a little lower than before. And the contractions feel less like a mild Braxton-Hicks and more like “We’re getting warmed up for the real stuff now!” They are super far apart though—please, no one get excited yet. I might loose my temper if you do. Ha! Yes, add increased irritability to the list, too. Ooo! I’m sure the kids just love hanging out with Mommy these days. I’m a barrel of fun! Whee!

The good news—I think all my baby-prep stuff is done! I had a list of things to do and things to get and I think we’ve about got it all now. Yay! So, that’s a weight off my mind.

Now, if we could just have mild 65-70 degree days with a cool breeze and no humidity in the air, I’d be one happy camper! (It’s 10:00 p.m. and I’m still too warm—wah!) But Summer is here… sigh.

Okay, signing off before I get more whiny! 🙂
